In last night's Big Bang Theory,
we had quite a lot going on. Sheldon gets super excited when Will Wheaton
contacts him, asking to interview him for a documentary on Spock that he is
working on with Leonard Nimoy's son. The guest star of the show was brilliant
and it was nice to finally see an episode paying tribute to Nimoy. I'd been
wondering if they were gonna get around to doing something like this for awhile
now and I quite enjoyed the results. During the interview, Penny and Leonard
learn that Sheldon was intending to propose to Amy. While this shocks them, it
forces Sheldon to come to the painful conclusion that he isn't over Amy at all
and stick deep down wants to marry her, even though by all appearances, she's
moving on with her life.
Meanwhile, Howard recruits Raj in a last ditch attempt to convince
Bernadette not to redecorate his mother's house. His classic guilt-trip lines
of "My dad left when I was little and my mom died" have lost their
magic on his feisty bride who brings in her dad to help with the remodel. While
crawling around underneath the house, Howard and his father-in-law unearth a
much more interesting sore spot than redoing the house and this leaves Howard
and Bernadette with some serious thinking to do. This was another issue I've
been wondering about for awhile and while it wasn't satisfactorily solved, at
least it was mentioned.
This was fun episode and I especially enjoyed Bernadette's little
earthquake scene, but I really enjoyed it because it was more thoughtful and
held promises of character growth which, as a writer, is something I like in
stories. Can't wait for next week's episode!
