The Big Bang Theory (TV Series) The Long Distance Dissonance (2017) User Reviews

One Of Their Best Episodes

[Christmas-Reviewer · 10/10 · 28 May 2017]

I was getting very angry when this episode started. It looked like the show was going to put another Monkey Wrench in the Sheldon/Amy relationship. This is an annoying plot device that "Killed Frasier"! That show played out the Niles and Daphne.

This episode took an unexpected turn. And was a nice surprise! It made me happy.

What I really enjoyed was how the group of Friends went out of the way to protect Amy. I thought it was a huge evolution on how the group treats Amy. They love her and I thought "Wow How Great".

The episode wasn't joke after joke that got laughs. Instead of playing just for laughs the show played on emotions! It was one the shows best episodes ever! For show that has had over 200 episodes that is amazing.

Can't Wait For Season 11!!!

Wow What A Great Season Finale

As someone else pointed out this episode was memorable for the one liners but it was memorable because it was an episode that deal with emotions and the writer and cast proved that they are worth the money they are making.

I thought for sure Sheldon and Amy were going to be on the outs again (Shades of Ross and Rachel) but the show fooled me and I was grateful.

What was really struck upon watching this episode again "Nobody acted out of character". They all acted and reacted that was consistent with how their respected character have always acted.

I wish all involved with this show continuing success.

A very funny episode.

I really like this episode. It reminds me of pure, classic comedy. It is funny from beginning to end. There are some great scenes like the staircase scene. Pure comedy! Wish there were more like this.

I love this episode

[user-192-100864 · 10/10 · 14 May 2017]

After a rather long term of dull and disappointment, this episode brought me laughs and tears. It is just lovely to watch how the gang cared about their friends and got together to protect Sheldon and Amy's love. And a big baby mysophobia like Sheldon decisively taking the long trip alone was just amusing and touching. And the proposal!!! I burst into tears immediately after Amy opened the door. Not sure about Amy's reaction, it left with a big cliffhanger. I hope she would say yes since it would be cliché to put too much drama on this. Anyway, I hope we could have a much better season 11.

what the fans have been waiting for

[jack_andrew_c · 9/10 · 1 June 2017]

As a long time big bang theory fan this episode is just what we have been waiting for. after Amy begins to work away Sheldon rekindles an old friendship with his former admirer Dr Ramona Nowitzki and Amy doesn't like its at all. this is a brilliant season finally and one of the best endings to a TV show of all time 9/10

Delightful

[Hitchcoc · 10/10 · 19 November 2021]

Generally, I don't like shows that end with a long awaited proposal. But the way the cast got there is sensational. This has Amy heading off to Princeton while Dr. Nowitzky returns, wanting to romance Sheldon. His innocence isn't enough for Amy and the gang and she appears to be a real threat. The scene where they all leave the apartment to say goodbye, jockeying for position on the stairways is amazing. Yes, science has mostly been left behind but the final scene is sweet as Sheldon kneels with his ring.

This is literally one the best seasons finale ive ever saw

[aboalhyjaa · 10/10 · 23 March 2020]

Who would thought that Amy going away will make such feelings for Sheldon! Loving it.

What a Television Miracle

[louheck-05253 · 10/10 · 3 July 2017]

"The Big Bang" has now finished season 10. Most series that go on that long are usually on life support. "Modern Family" is an example of that and so is "The Middle" and "Workaholics". However "The Big Bang" is still going strong. This year the episodes have not been the greatest however the last 6 were strong shows and the season finale was one of the best episodes the show has ever had.

Now there has been a few plots the show has stolen from "Friends". They do a little twist on them but writers come-on if your going to steel give the writers from "Friends" story credit.

The last episode of the year was not "FUNNY" at all! It was emotional for not only for all the characters on the show but the audience as well.

In a nutshell the characters on "Big Bang" put up a major defense to protect to Amy from a woman who is out to steel Sheldon. It is was something special to watch. You see how far all of them have come in the way they think of Amy and how much they really care about her and Sheldon.

Again the episode wasn't focused on jokes and innuendo. The show focused on emotions and showing how "Friends are there for you when you need them the most".

If this episode doesn't get the show an Emmy Nod for writing and the show itself then shame on them. The show is overdue for Emmy Awards.

The show is losing its quality....but only slowly.

[sanjulathish · 7/10 · 19 June 2017]

Completed The Finale today and to me the show has lost its freshness,it has been a soap opera for while now. I think the only scenes now i love/ enjoy are which includes Sheldon or Howard/Raj. Rest all of them are so soapy. Story wise : The ending was something i didn't thought would happen s10, may be in S11 or S12. TBBT had almost 24 good episodes in the early Seasons, then it became 15-20 good episodes ,then to 10 good episodes but now its more like 5-10 good episodes a season. Character wise : Sheldon : i think he changed drastically from his older self but still he brings some thing good in the show( his dialogues are more predictable since we all know how he is going to respond). Leonard : i didn't fully liked the character early , and still he hasn't able to change it.(strictly MO). Howard : He is still manages to do something to make you smile. Raj : i am disappointed the way creators treats his character, he is the one character that has been with the main characters continuously since S01e01 but still hasn't improved that much ( a little change this season ), everyone has love affair why don't they give him some good story-line rather than make a fool every now and then. at first it was funny but it is more like "ahh/mmm". penny : She was good in the early season but the charm is decreasing slowly. Bernadette : She is still the same as she was before(almost). love the interaction's she has with Howard. Amy: now i think like why would she come to the show, not because i don't like her character arc, she is good. but she was the main reason that Sheldon changed so much. Stuart : still same no changes at all. once i used to wait for TBBT to arrive but now it doesn't feel like that any more. they should try to include more job based theme rather than family which made this a good show.

......And now Big Bang Theory has officially become a soap opera

[Ibuk · 5/10 · 20 May 2017]

It's been a long time coming but the show is finally scraping the bottom of the barrel.

First Howard and Bernadette got married, then Leonard and Penny and now the unthinkable has happened....Sheldon has proposed to Amy!.

I used to adore the show, still get some great laughs from watching the earlier seasons. That said the past couple of seasons have been concentrating on their separate lives and the plot lines have become boring, for instance the episode where Howard and Bernadette try to get the raccoon out of their hot tub or the guys working on their guidance system in this season. For some reason the writers have forgotten that they're making a sitcom and now are trying to make a soap opera by making the characters pregnant or getting them married off.

Friends managed to send the characters off in different directions and still be very funny but it seems the Big Bang Theory writers have been less successful. I no longer have belly laughs when I watch this show, only very minor chuckles, which for a sitcom is simply not good enough.

I have stuck by the sitcom out of loyalty but the final nail in the coffin was the season ten finale, which compelled me to write this review.

I never thought I'd say this but the show has outstayed its welcome by a couple of years.

Now that the finale ended with a cliffhanger it seems they'll be at least one more season.

I can only hope the producers decide that enough is enough and finally pull the plug after the 11th season. Although I am still unsure whether I'll be watching.
