The Big Bang Theory: 5 Reasons It Needs To End With Season 12
4. There's A Chance To Wrap Storylines
Every great sitcom needs to have its fair share of fantastic storytelling, with The Big Bang Theory being no different. The majority of the stories told during the show's history have been nothing but interesting and unique.
The stories that season 11 left us with will need wrapping up if the show is to come to an end, with writers and producers having plenty of time to do so. We can't just be left without a definitive end to the characters lives. Where do Sheldon and Amy go following their wedding? What will happen now that Sheldon has discovered a scientific breakthrough? Will we ever find out Penny's last name?
The Big Bang Theory is one of those shows that always finds a way to continue its storylines as the seasons progress, with twists and turns coming from all angles. Not one person could've predicted the Raj overcoming his selective mutism, let alone getting a girlfriend.
With a further 24 episodes confirmed, the ongoing stories need to be wrapped up. There's no benefit whatsoever to leaving a story, especially a major arc, left without a definitive conclusion. Even the smaller less important stories need to be brought to a close, otherwise fans of the show will have millions of possible outcomes for the years to come.
A cliffhanger may be the perfect way to end a season, but not when it's the finale.
