The Big Bang Theory - The Stockholm Syndrome television review

After 12 seasons The Big Bang Theory comes to a close with an episode that falls back on the reliable premise of how inconsiderate and selfish Dr. Sheldon Cooper (Jim Parsons) can be. The show never lost money revisiting that plot thread. The series concludes with the cast out of the country to be in attendance when Sheldon and Amy (Mayim Bialik) accept their Nobel Prize. While on the plane trip over the secret of Penny‘s (Kaley Cuoco) pregnancy is revealed, Sheldon’s reaction causes an immediate (but quickly reconciled) dust-up, and the show offers some individual moments for various characters as Howard (Simon Helberg) and Bernadette (Melissa Rauch) freak-out over leaving their children for the first time and Raj (Kunal Nayyar) meets a new woman (who may have once slain vampires, but has no romantic interest in him).

The Big Bang Theory - The Conjugal Configuration TV review

The Big Bang Theory kicks off its final season by offering us looks at Sheldon (Jim Parsons) and Amy (Mayim Bialik) as newlyweds at Legoland (which sadly gets far less screentime than the pair’s discussion of early marital issues), Raj‘s (Kunal Nayyar) making a public ass of himself (seriously… can they think of nothing better to do with this character after a dozen years), Howard (Simon Helberg) and Bernadette (Melissa Rauch) just sort of watching the trainwreck of their friend unfold, and Leonard (Johnny Galecki) and Penny (Kaley Cuoco) have more “cute” fights when Leonard compares the pair to Amy’s parents. A bit underwhelming for a season premiere, but about what you would expect with the show dusting off old relationship tropes (wait, Sheldon is bad a relationships? Shocker!) and reusing them (yet again).

The Big Bang Theory - The Hot Tub Contamination

Disagreements arising from Sheldon (Jim Parsons) and Amy‘s (Mayim Bialik) attempts to live together provide the show a chance to offer some interesting pairings in “The Hot Tub Contamination.” While the episode derives its title from the (less interesting) B-story involving Howard (Simon Helberg) and Bernadette‘s (Melissa Rauch) discovery of what happens in their home when some of their friends think they aren’t around, more interesting is the pairing of Penny (Kaley Cuoco) and Sheldon, which delivers the truth behind Sheldon’s committal to always knock three times, and the far-less developed camaraderie between Leonard and Amy who do some bonding of their own over the whackadoodle they both know and love.
