Featured review

9/10

The show that ages superbly along with its long standing talented cast.

The show has lost none of it's sparkle, Enjoyed watching the 1st episode of season 11 as much as any previous episode, The material reflects the age cycle that we all must endure, Still has the enthralling humour that captivated me in season 1. Long may the show keep developing rather than stay stuck in a 2006/7 time loop. The only aspect of the show that is unaltered since 2006 is the awesome comedy.

Trivia
Stephen Hawking's last guest role, almost half a year before his death on March 14, 2018.

Goofs
Sheldon abruptly leaves his office without his laptop and gets into the cab with nothing but what is in his pockets. Through the flashback, it is shown that he stopped by his apartment to video call Dr. Hawking for permission, before going to the airport. He is talking to Hawking on the laptop that he left in his office. It also creates the continuity issue that he would have packed a bag if he stopped by his apartment and shows up in New Jersey with nothing but what is in his pockets.

Quotes
Penny: You asked Stephen Hawking and not her father?
Sheldon Cooper: Stephen Hawking's a genius. If he said no, I wasn't gonna waste my time on her father.
Amy Farrah Fowler: But you did ask my father?
Sheldon Cooper: I did. He said yes. Although not in a robot voice, so it wasn't nearly as cool.
Penny: Okay. Oh, my god, I can't believe you guys are engaged.
Sheldon Cooper: We're not engaged yet. She's taking forever to answer.
Amy Farrah Fowler: [irked] Because you're on the phone!
Sheldon Cooper: We'll call you back.
[he hangs up; Leonard hangs up his end, as well; a second later, the phone rings]
Sheldon Cooper: She said yes.

Crazy credits
CHUCK LORRE PRODUCTIONS, #561:

Ten years ago...

Sheldon had no interest in romantic relationships of any kind. The only people he cared about were Professor Hawking, Mister Spock, and Doctor Doom.

Leonard was hopelessly in love with Penny, with the emphasis on hopeless.

Penny waited tables, and only dated big, handsome, dumb guys.

Wolowitz thought he was god's gift to women, when in fact he was more of a divine punishment.

Raj was so neurotic, he could not speak if there was a woman in the room. Unless he drank alcohol, at which point he would've been better off keeping his mouth shut.

And Amy and Bernadette were an answer to prayers we didn't know we had.

All of which makes you wonder about the next ten years.

Kidding.

That's what reunion shows are for.
