The Worst Episode Of The Large Bang Idea, In accordance To IMDb

“The Large Bang Idea” spans 12 seasons and the identical variety of years, so we’ve got to face some information right here: a few of the episodes are certain to be complete stinkers. Actually, just a few episodes in “The Large Bang Idea’s” storied historical past can compete for absolutely the worst spot of all of them, however what is the worst of the worst in line with followers? We simply have to take a look at IMDb rankings to search out that out.

Chuck Lorre’s massively widespread, Emmy-winning sitcom — which stars Jim Parsons, Johnny Galecki, Simon Helberg, Kunal Nayyar, Kaley Cuoco, Mayim Bialik, and Melissa Rauch as Sheldon Cooper, Leonard Hofstadter, Howard Wolowitz, Raj Koothrappali, Penny Hofstadter, Amy Farrah Fowler, and Bernadette Rostenkowski-Wolowitz, respectively — targeted on the private lives of scientists (and Penny), together with all of their ups and downs. Apparently, followers suppose that one episode within the present’s ninth season is absolutely the worst; I ought to notice, although, that the season 9 episode is available in second place to the present’s unique, unaired pilot, which went by means of an entire host of modifications earlier than it truly hit the airwaves. Because the unique pilot solely exists within the type of scattered, low-res YouTube clips, it appears followers have topped the season 9 premiere, “The Matrimonial Momentum,” because the present’s crappiest episode.

In response to followers, the season 9 premiere of “The Large Bang Idea,” titled “The Matrimonial Momentum,” completely stinks — and actually, I get why. It is a fairly cruddy episode. After the present’s season 8 finale “The Dedication Deterioration” — the place Leonard admits that he kissed one other lady whereas courting Penny through the couple’s drive to Las Vegas, the place they’re planning to elope — the present leaves the 2 in a fairly awkward scenario, whereby Penny nonetheless desires to marry the person she loves however is understandably shocked by his admission. They undergo with the marriage anyway with none of their associates or family members current; as a substitute, they live-stream the slapdash ceremony for everyone again residence, and their associates barely watch it anyway as a result of Sheldon is making such a fuss about the truth that Amy requested him for a break from their relationship (which additionally occurs within the season 8 finale). Amy dumps Sheldon in entrance of everybody, no person pays consideration to Penny and Leonard’s marriage ceremony, and even after their nuptials, Penny continues to be holding a grudge in opposition to her new husband. When she finds out the lady Leonard kissed works with him and far of the remainder of the gang at CalTech, the 2 have a fair larger struggle and go to their very own residences alone throughout their first evening as a married couple.

“The Large Bang Idea” works finest when it retains the entire gang collectively, and clearly, “The Matrimonial Momentum” does the alternative of that. Not solely that however shoving one breakup and one almost-breakup into the identical season premiere simply sucks all of the humor out of the scenario, particularly as a result of, to be trustworthy, each Sheldon and Leonard behave abominably towards their companions. Luckily, the present course corrects by the tip of the collection. That is positively a very, actually dangerous episode of “The Large Bang Idea,” however which different episodes do followers hate?

“The Matrimonial Momentum” is not the one extensively disliked episode of “The Large Bang Idea” — removed from it. Just under it on IMDb, the season 10 episode “The Cognition Regeneration” additionally has an extremely low ranking (it shares a 6.8 ranking out of 10 with the season 9 premiere, truly), and that one options yet one more bizarre Leonard and Penny subplot the place her ex-boyfriend Zack (Brian Thomas Smith) gives her a job, a prospect that makes Leonard irrationally mad. That clunker is adopted by yet one more episode with a 6.8 ranking, season 11’s “The Athenaeum Allocation,” which encompasses a bunch of nonsense over Sheldon and Amy’s marriage ceremony venue and an infuriating (and admittedly sexist) argument between Howard and Bernadette about which ones ought to be a stay-at-home mother or father. “The Planetarium Collision,” a season 12 episode, rounds out the highest 5 worst episodes in line with fan rankings on IMDb — this one additionally boasts a 6.8 — and it is most likely as a result of many of the episode focuses on Sheldon sabotaging Amy’s work as a neuroscientist in order that she’ll assist him work on their joint tremendous asymmetry mission.

Once more, it is sensible that there are some tough episodes of “The Large Bang Idea,” and followers can inform you precisely which of them to skip. If you happen to’re inquisitive about them — or need to watch some higher installments — “The Large Bang Idea” is streaming on Max now.
