The Big Bang Theory is a CBS sitcom about a group of geeky adults that has run for 12 staggeringly long years. In that time period, it has attracted critical ire, many Emmys, and earned its stars million-dollar salaries. But now this show is dying and I, a pop culture critic with a heart made of onyx who has never even seen a single episode, have decided to watch the program weekly to pay my respects—and also roast it to death one last time.
Season 12, Episode 5: The Planetarium Collision
Summary: The director of the planetarium where Raj works finds out Howard was an astronaut (I had to Google to check this and yes, he appears to have been one) and suggests he join Raj for a lecture, which Raj does not want to happen as he feels insecure. Also, is this a good time to say I’m not entirely sure what any of these people do for a living other than being smart, possibly working at Caltech, and Bernadette working in pharmaceuticals (god that makes so much sense.) Finally, Raj relents and lets Howard do the show with him, and the two of them go back and forth complimenting each other like good old pals.
