Finally! The show reflects what we have all been thinking. We are all pig sick with the 'Howard is an astronaut/Howard is in space' plot line! Thank goodness.
This storyline has bored me from the start, so it was nice that the other characters finally shared my feelings.
As for the episode as a whole, there were some nice moments of character development here.
From Penny's slow burning realisation that she's falling for Leonard, to some actual realistic scenes between Howard and Bernadette. Anything is better than the awful storylines when he was up in space I know, but this wasn't too bad from my least favourite characters in the show.
I'm still not sure about Stuart being in things more regularly, he's a stock side-line character, and fleshing him out isn't working so far. They'd be better off trying to actually do something with Raj. Anything really. Now there is a good character.
Overall, a good enough episode.
