My review of the final two episodes of the final season of The Big Bang Theory

I have been a massive fan of The Big Bang Theory for quite a while and so I was excited but also a little sad when I finally watched the last two episodes of the final series. The series had been leading up to Dr. Sheldon Cooper (Jim Parsons) and Dr. Amy Farrah Fowler (Dr. Mayim Bialik) winning a Nobel Prize for their discovery of super asymmetry, so it wasn’t hard to guess what some of the last two episodes would be about and as it turned out they did win a Nobel Prize which was nice to see.

The final two episodes in the series featured all of the regular cast such as Penny, Sheldon, Leonard etc as well as one of the more minor characters of the show the owner of the comic book store Stuart (Kevin Sussman) who as always is quite a funny character and for the first time on screen we got to see Howard (Simon Helberg)  and Bernadette’s (Melissa Rauch) kids Halley (Sailah Nicol) and Michael (Nate Ash) who looked older than I  expected them to be. The Bing Bang Theory like a lot of other sitcoms has had its fair share of guest stars on the show, my personal favourite being Sarah Michelle Gellar who appeared on the final episode of the of the series during the plane scene and at the Nobel Prize ceremony both times sitting next to Raj (Kunal Nayyar).

I thought the plot of the last two episodes of the series was quite good and was thoroughly enjoyable, it was great to see Sheldon and Amy finally get a Nobel Prize and to find out that Penny was pregnant with her first child as well as the elevator in Penny, Sheldon, Leonard and Amy’s apartment building was finally fixed.  That being said however parts of the plot in my opinion were kind of obvious because previous episodes had been building up to it, and the way they ended it was good but left it open  to do more series which given this was the final one ever I didn’t think was such a good idea.

If I had to give the final two episodes of the series a rating out of ten, I would give them an 8 out of 10. The reason being that as stated previously I found them to be thoroughly enjoyable as well as funny, but I wouldn’t rate the episodes any higher because I think they were too much like a mid-season  episode and I thought the writers of the show would have done a bit more for the final one’s ever. If you haven’t seen them yet I would highly recommend watching them and afterwards watch the main casts appearance on The Late show with Stephen Colbert which can be seen on the YouTube video below.

My Review of Billy Connolly’s Route 66

Image
Having watched the TV show I thought it would be interesting to read the book version, and I have to say that it was very enjoyable to read and just as good as the show. One of things that I liked about it was that it had some things that Billy Connolly saw and did along Route 66 which didn’t make it into the show, which I thought were still interesting even though he didn’t think much of them (I can see why they didn’t make it into the show), and if I were every lucky enough to travel along Route 66 on my own journey   I don’t think I would visit those places ether. That being said there were other things that I liked about the book such as that if you were traveling along the same route you could almost use the book as a guide for what things to do and what places to go as you make your way from Chicago, Illinois to Los Angeles, California. When I think about it the book is not really that different than the TV show in terms of what is in it, it mostly follows what happ...

My Review of Avengers Endgame (2019)

Image
        Having been disappointed with how Avengers Infinity War (2018) ended I had mixed feelings about going to see Avengers Endgame, part of me was hopping this would be an epic superhero movie and another part was thinking it might be a disappointment like the last one fortunately it was the former. I found that the plot was well paced and kept me interested for the whole three hours and was not slow at any point, and given how many characters the directors Anthony Russo and Joe Russo had to fit into the film I think they did a very good job with even some of the minor characters from   previous Marvel films getting some screen time.   As well as most of the characters we have come to expect from an Avengers film (Black Widow, Iron Man, The Hulk, Thor, and Captain America etc) Captain Marvel (played by Brie Larson) was also included.   From the small (in my opinion) amount of screen time that Larson’s character had I can see why peop...

“A Higher Loyalty – Truth, Lies and Leadership”, by James Comey Book Review

Image
Before I started reading this book all I knew about James Comey was that he had been Director of the FBI and was fired by Donald Trump, so when I picked it up from my local library, I was very excited to start reading the book and find out more about the man that I had seen commentators on TV talk about a lot throughout the later part of 2016 and early 2017. It turned out to be a very interesting book to read and one that I would possibly buy in future. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to know about some of the more recent events in U.S. politics. When I started reading this, I thought James Comey’s book would be more about some of the events of the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election and the early part of the Trump presidency (which the later part of it was), but it turned out that a large proportion of the book was semi-autobiographical detailing his early life and his early career. I found this bit of the book to be the most interesting part for me becaus...
