The 10 Worst The Big Bang Theory Episodes
4. The Matrimonial Momentum (Season 9 Episode 1)
In this episode, Leonard and Penny arrive in Vegas to have their shotgun wedding whilst the rest of the gang gather at Howard's house to watch it on a live stream. Whilst at the house, Sheldon and Amy have a falling out about the direction that their relationship is heading in.
Why it sucks: The great will-they-won't-they saga of Penny and Leonard finally came to a conclusion in this episode when we finally got to see the two get married. So, how did the writers see this going down? A grand spectacle? A hilarious trip down memory lane featuring some of our favourite recurring characters? Nope. A shotgun wedding in Vegas featuring vows which, even for The Big Bang Theory, were painfully cheesy and a big fight at the end. But not only were Penny and Leonard fighting, but Sheldon and Amy were too. I am aware that the series needs to come up with fresh ideas for their characters but turning the show into a sitcom version of The Real Housewives of California was a horrible direction.
What didn't suck: Sheldon's quote on Madame Curie - "She has a penis made of science." certainly knocked me off guard.
