Big Bang Theory: Final Season Wish List
The Romance Insufficiency
Raj’s love life fizzled out a long time ago, with his last significant romance ending in Season 9. With 24 episodes left, now’s the time to cast a potential soulmate and allow the astrophysicist to develop a relationship over the course of the season.
The Sibling Expansion
Leonard has always resented his brother and sister for garnering most of what little affection Beverly has for her children. Now’s the time to introduce them.
The Shamy Reproduction
Young Sheldon‘s Season 1 finale already confirmed that the fan-favorite couple would someday have children — and Sheldon has already made it clear that he wants to reproduce, if only for the sole purpose of contributing another brilliant mind to the world of science.
The William Shatner Implementation
Having previously booked George Takei and the late Leonard Nimoy, it’d be an awful shame if the Powers That Be were unable to complete the Star Trek trifecta and convince Captain Kirk to stop by for a quick cameo — and make no mistake: It will take quite a bit of convincing!
The Nebraska Excursion
We barely got any time with Penny’s mom Susan (Katey Sagal, reuniting with 8 Simple Rules daughter Kaley Cuoco) or brother Randall (Jack McBrayer) in the Season 10 premiere. It’s time for a return visit — or better yet, a trip to Nebraska to see Penny’s childhood home.
The Stuart Recalibration
Perhaps things work out with wedding date Denise. Or perhaps his degree from the Rhode Island School of Design is finally put to good use, and he’s able to make a decent-enough living as an artist to move out of Howard and Bernadette’s house. Whatever the case may be, we’re hoping things go his way as the sitcom reaches its end.
The Hofstadter Offspring
And baby makes three? Leonard and Penny have been married for three seasons now, and Sheldon’s old bedroom is just sitting there, collecting dust.
The Sam Wolowitz Materialization
It’s been three seasons since Big Bang introduced Howard’s half-brother Josh. He hasn’t been mentioned since, nor has the sitcom come any closer to introducing their father Sam. We’d love to see Howard get to know his estranged dad, which would surely provide an excellent final season showcase for Simon Helberg.
The Maiden Name Revelation
Yes, the reveal is bound to disapoint. But even still, we want to know what Penny’s last name is.
The Elevator Reimplentation
Should Big Bang follow in Friends‘ footsteps and conclude with Leonard and Penny moving out, the series finale should show them walking down the stairs as the new tenants of Apt. 4A exit the freshly-restored elevator.
