Amy is the best part of the show.

i would say the vast majority of Amy and Sheldon's relationship has been Sheldon being too selfish, prudish, set in his ways, or naive to give Amy what she really wants. So with that in mind, almost as long as the character Amy has existed.

It's really annoying at this point.

Shit

For a show in its 8th season, thought it was pretty decent season.

I wouldn't be surprised if we see a big time jump for S9.

A time jump would be creative and risky.

Not a chance.

Raj's reasoning for wanting to break up came out of nowhere and had hardly any build up. His character has been consistently woeful for 8 seasons now, good god.

jett · May 9, 2015

Like I said, Raj should've tripped into the broken elevator a long-ass time ago.

Jackpot · May 9, 2015

Can't believe Amy wasted 5 years of her life on him.

this is exceedingly accurate.

Season 8 even tho it was a hit and miss It did have some great moments. Season 7 still one of my favorite. I can't wait for season 9.

The finale was fine.

IGN said what I felt about it

It's rare to see The Big Bang Theory become this dramatic. This episode was even a bit depressing. But if "The Commitment Determination" proved anything, it's that the show should drive to be dark more often. This finale offered the progression Season 8 mostly lacked, forcing several characters to make big decisions and ending with one of the show's better cliffhangers

I don't get the vanity card. What does

1+(1/(2+(1/(3+(1/(4+(1/(5))))))))*(e^(i*pi))*det{{8, 47},{14, 43}}*((95 mod 12)/log2(1024))+V

mean?

I wish Kaley Cuoco would cut her hair really short. More-so than before. It looked really good then, but doesn't look as good now. Though she's still very beautiful.

The finale was solid, and I wish they'd write Amy off the show. She's annoying.

Raj's girlfriend deserved better
they could have developed that kinky story and ran it throughout the season and it could have been hilarious, but instead they kinda just dumped it on us

I don't know why, but this season felt short.

Enosh · May 9, 2015

the ring at the end was complete bullshit, there was no indication whatsoever that he was fucking ready to get engaged, it's just a cheap ploy to generate some kind of sympathy for an obvious unsympathetic character in this case, he's at fault and she is 100% right to dump his ass, should have done it ages ago in fact

They need to fuck or break up

Penny and Leonard need to hurry up and get married

Raj needs a steady GF

Get that shit over with already

I like how they cut the high-IQ sperm bank opening of the pilot in syndication. Sheldon was goin to jizz in a cup for a T1 connection, but string Amy along for 5 years lol

Sheldon is an entirely different character those first two episodes. So is Penny.

Penny is mostly the same, much cuter back then. The writers have taken Sheldon and Amy's relationship to annoying levels. Amy should have went out with that Geologist guy. Does anyone really think that Amy and Sheldon are breaking up? It was doable with Penny and Leonard because she lived across the hall, you think Penny and Bernadette will hang out with Amy if Sheldon is out of the picture?

What ever happened to Penny's "friends" with the random parties at her place.

They pretty blatantly just thought of the two most unlikely scenarios

(Amy wanting to break up and Sheldon proposing)

and made them occur at almost exactly the same moment. The whole episode just felt incredibly contrived, and pretty much none of the storylines had any justification whatsoever besides Howard's.

Penny was an absolute and total ditz in the first few episodes. She wasn't street smart, she was just a moron.

She was a stereotypical ditzy blonde in season one. After she got comfortable with the guys in season two she became much more "street smart", which again doesn't make much sense. She should have been like from the start - hanging out with a bunch of geeks would hardly change that normally.

Maddocks · May 10, 2015

The biggest bullshit of the episode was Sheldon debating over watching the flash. A guy like him who wears flash t-shirts and has dressed up like the flash a number of times would not be waiting till the final 2 episodes of the season to start watching.

Sad knowing they will just correct their relationship in 5 episodes next season.

sonikokaruto · May 10, 2015

Stupid episode ending

It triggered a bunch of feelings on me.

Sucks to be in the same spot as sheldon.

Dammit

Well the difference is she grew as a character. Sheldon has not.

She grew into something worse.

I don't think so. She's pretty much the Anti-Sheldon. Where Sheldon got some friends, barely gives them a second though and pretty much forces them to bend to his every whim, Amy changed and learned to accept others once she made friends.

leng jai · May 10, 2015

Just rewatched it and Jim Parsons did a very good job with the last scene. He was still able to elicit an emotional response out of me despite how contrived and cheap the whole setup to the scene was.

I also noticed how terrible that last kissing attempt was from Raj. That guy really is the king of cringe.

It would've made more sense back when she just seemed like a female Sheldon, but since she started indicating that she's in any way a sexual person it became kind of odd.

Oh no not just a season. If I'm in I'm in for the whole run, even if the quality declines

Oh hey look this show knows how I feel about it.

Please die Big Bang Theory so I can escape your grasp ;_;

Agreed. He did an impressive job, and it was quite surprising in general. The scene, I mean.

I hate Stewart, too. Not just Amy.

It's go 2 seasons left... Lol it's still number 1.... I think it stopped being funny after like s3 but I didn't even start watching it until 2012 soo I had 5 seasons... And I just watch it when I have a few eps dvr'd .... I still like the show but it's not as funny as it use to be... Plus the difference in everyone's look is just jarring. Everyone is wider and just not as good looking but every show that lasts this long that happens....

Should add up to 495 + V if you do the big fraction first. On the other hand, my advanced math might be off. It is been a while.

We actually had couple of scenes spreaded out over a couple of episodes this season showing how Raj felt uncomfortable around Emily's love for gross stuff, so there are build up to it, just not via this chapter. Same goes to Amy's breakup with Sheldon. There were build up to why she decided on this, but not necessarily depicted via this chapter.

Season 8 wasn't very good though. The show is still at its best when it focuses on the 4 guys, like earlier few seasons.
