English Tv Show The Big Bang Theory Season 8

Carrying forward the excitement of season 7, the season 8 of The Big Bang Click to look into! >> Read More... Theory first aired on September 2, 2014. The 24 episodes season picks up from where they left off with Sheldon leaving for what he later terms as “railroad journey of healing”. The first episode mainly revolves around how his apparent “healing” journey abruptly ended when he gets robbed in his sleeper car and ends up calling Leonard to rescue him who takes Amy, Sheldon’s intellectual girlfriend, along with him.

The whole situation of Leonard being Sheldon’s call-for-help person puts Amy off but with Sheldon’s explanation that he did not make Amy to think any less of him because of his failed mission.She ultimately accepts the fact that her affection for him is not reduced even through his imperfections. Sheldon’s rants about his 45 days journey sets the season beginning for a full nerd-show with his usual quirks or as he later puts it “eccentricities”. His thoughts of self-reformation flies right out the window as soon as he enters the apartment to see Penny in her new hairstyle. On parallel storylines, the season also kick starts with Bernadette trying to hook Penny up for a job as a pharmaceuticals representative, which she initially blows but later on bags on the mutual ground of fear of Bernadette’s bully-ish attitude with her interviewer.

Raj and Howard are disturbed by the fact that Stuart continues to love with Howard’s mother, well after she has recovered. With Sheldon wanting to get back to his previous research arena, the university grants him his wants with the condition that he becomes a junior professor. Even though he takes up this position, knowing his personality, no one, except for Howards, signs up for his classes. He treats his only student with humiliation and disrespect by trying to degrade him by making the classes exceptionally hard. Howard’s initial reaction was supportive but he eventually flips out and drops out. Bernadette pushes Penny a little too over her comfort zone with study for the sales representative training programme and the friction between them is utilized by Amy to start bonding individually with them which is obviously short lived after the two apologize and make up.

Penny and Leonard’s mutual insecurities about their engagement remain strong because they acknowledge the fact that inspite of Amy and Sheldon’s awkward relationship, they are a better couple ( as Sheldon proudly puts it, “they will never have a relationship as good as ours) because they have a lot in common which is lacking in the former couple. On the relationship front, Raj goes on pretty strong with Emily and even arranges for her meeting up with the gang. The meeting is almost smooth except for a certain odd flare between her and Penny, which Emily later admits was because she did not like the whole idea of Raj having any sort of history with Penny. Meanwhile, Stuart’s comic book store insurance gets rejected and he continues to live with Howard’s mother.

The guys agree to invest their own money to become part owners just so that they can get back to their old jolly lives of having a place to themselves where they can laze around and read comics all day which does come off as an irony because that is exactly what they do at Sheldon and Leonard’s apartment when the girls aren’t around. Indulging in such frivolous activities makes them realize that they have long strayed from their scientific brilliance and plan on a brainstorming retreat where they can pool in ideas and innovation and make themselves more scientifically engaged. The girls use this opportunity to trip in Vegas but Penny’s fun times are cut short because of last minute rescheduling that meant that she had to stay back t in the weekend to finish up on her training academics. Penny’s new job turns out to be a handsome pay that even fetched a company car. She sells the old car Leonard had once gifted and decides to return the money to Leonard that clearly upsets him.

Not knowing how to settle such financial disparities they try to use Howard and Bernadette’s counselling only to finally realize that their situation can serve as an example of all the things they shouldn’t do when they are married. With the advancement of the season, the gang does a prom recreation scenario where Penny and Leonard have their own romantic bodings while Stuart shows up with Jeanie, Howard’s second cousin to whom he lost his virginity. This gravely upsets both him and Bernadette and causes a brief chaos in the car that was also being shared by Raj and Emily, the latter sharing her own fondness of dark sides of fairy tales. Sheldon suffers a panic attack after realizing how pretty Amy looks and subsequently goes ahead and tells her that he loves her and there was no denying that he has strong feelings for her that cannot be explained in any other possible way. In the episode of “space Probe Disintegration”, Penny and Amy points out to Leonard and Sheldon that their leisure time is always filled with activities that the boys want to do and for a change, the boys should do something that the girls suggest.

While coming up with ideas, it is pointed out how similar Sheldon and Penny are. While they are the ones calling the shots of what all things to do and the things they should avoid and the others just usually follow suit to avoid arguments. This leads to Leonard confessing that sometimes Sheldon can be a bit too much and that he hasn’t moved in with Penny yet, even though they are engaged, only because of him. Sheldon agrees to let Leonard to spend one night per week with Penny and gradually move out. Meanwhile, Raj stays worried about the activation of the New Horizons Space Probe. Guest appearances and common references to Dr. Stephen Hawking has been common for the show and he is once again acknowledged in “the Troll Manifestation” where he continues to mock and challenge a paper on Superfluid Vacuum, published online by Sheldon and Leonard, out of boredom even though he really liked the work that was done.

The girls spend an evening discussing embarrassing things about each other that starts off with Penny’s gorilla movie, then moves on to Bernadette’s beauty pageant slogan and finally ends on Amy’s raunchy story about her and Sheldon’s intimate life and her fantasies. The following episodes take a major emotional toll with Stuart reopening his comic book store and Howard’s mother passing away in her sleep. Sheldon and Penny takes an intimacy test that Amy claimed to make two people fall in love. They obviously did not fall in love but rather strengthened their friendship bond to the extent that Sheldon goes ahead to tell that it was his birthday that day.

Howards flies back from Florida with Bernadette after attending his mother’s funeral and comical panic crawls in when he realizes that his mother’s ashes has gone missing. Later when retrieved, Bernadette worries that he will not disperse them but rather keep them in their bedroom. In the progression of the season, Amy and Sheldon decide to pet a turtle and consider it to be a very big step in their relationship by justifying that they have reached the point of utmost stability where they can plan on having a family of their own. This excitement is soon reverted when Amy learns that Sheldon has signed up for a future colonization programme in Mars without bothering to tell her about it.

After much arguments and debates, they plan on applying together as a couple. After Howard’s ma’s demise, they went to clear out her house only to learn that the electricity was out. Howard went into panic thinking that without power, all of his mom’s cooked food would be ruined. So, he invited everyone over to dinner to make everybody feel like his mom was feeding everybody for one last time. In the meantime, Scientific American mentioned Sheldon and Leonards paper but did not put Leonards’ name or any mention of his direct involvement with the paper in their report. This deeply hurt Leonard because he claimed that it was his idea to begin with and if anybody should get the credit for the work, it should be him for coming up with the whole theory rather than Sheldon. With Leonard and Penny being engaged for quite some time now, toward the end of the season, on the occasion of Leonard and Sheldon being awarded for their paper, their mothers come in and the discussion about why Penny and Leonard haven’t set any wedding date comes up. The discussion soon deviates from this to the mothers mocking each other’s beliefs and life principles when it came to showing maternal care.

They end up apologizing to one another and Beverly (Leonard’s mother) finally admits that there are other ways of raising a child other than her stern ways that lack any show of concern and love. The last episode of the long season is obviously the one that brings the full punch of entertainment and also sets the motion of anticipation for the next season to follow. On the celebrations of their fifth anniversary, Amy is highly distressed and irritated that Sheldon insist on debating about whether he should focus more on her or the Flash TV show, right in the middle of a romantic kiss. This and all other insensitive acts of

Sheldon takes a toll on Amy and she makes a bold decision of taking some time off from their relationship. With the slow pace of advancements and endless discussions, Penny and Leonard decide to elope to Vegas and get married when on the drive to Vegas, Leonard confesses that he kissed another woman while he was on the North Sea expedition. This seriously upsets Penny because firstly he kissed another woman and also because he hid this important thing from her for so long and blurted it out right before they were going to get married, but she eventually forgives him. 

Howard and Bernadette still continue to look for ways to ask Stuart to move out while Raj learns Emily’s darkest fantasies of wanting to have sex in a graveyard and seems to be quite stunned by the idea. Things start to take a bad turn with Amy decides that they should take some time apart from each other to re-evaluate their situation. The season ends on a devastating note where Sheldon reveals in his conversation with a Gollum miniature model, while pulling out a ring that he was finally going to ask Amy to marry him.
