Big Bang Theory, S05E24
Before Howard launched into space he recalled his impromptu wedding with Bernadette. She wanted to get married before he went to space, and the whole gang accompanied them to city hall. They weren't able to get married there due to an overly long line, so Raj came up with an alternative venue. All of their friends got ordained as ministers and married them on top of a roof so that the Google satellite traveling over their town would be able to capture their wedding on Google Earth maps.
I'm glad we got to see Howard and Bernadette married after all. It gave them a chance to have their nuptials in an unconventional way. Even if they had been able to do it at city hall, they still would have managed to do it in an abnormal way, with Amy there in full maid-of-honor garb. She looked positively insane. But I'm sure she would have been crazier if they had refused to let her wear it. The wedding definitely meant much more to her than it did to Howard and Bernadette.
One thing that made me want to punch the TV was Sheldon constantly bringing up Leonard's proposal. It's not unlike him, but it didn't mean that I didn't want to plug his big mouth with a cork. It was mostly annoying because it allowed attention to be paid to Leonard and Penny's relationship, which was hardly important when Howard and Bernadette were supposed to be the focus. I was just happy that their squabbles didn't turn into a reexamination of whether they should really get engaged. No thanks to Sheldon's lack of tact.
Besides that little thing, I think their ceremony on the roof was so cute. They all got to dress up and everyone got ordained so that they all could officiate their marriage. Wow. That's amazing that Howard and Bernadette have such a good friends to do something like that. Their speeches weren't that impressive overall, but I liked that Bernadette snapped at Sheldon for trying to sneak in some Klingon. I like how aggressive she is. It'd be interesting if Sheldon and Bernadette spent a day together. I'm sure she'd either kill him before the day was done or have him a little more straightened out for the better. I also thought it was amusing that Sheldon said he didn't understand the need to seek companionship because he found himself so interesting others were unnecessary. That sums up his disinterest in the opposite sex (or anyone who is not himself).
Another cute moment was when everyone was holding hands with each other as they watched Howard launch into space on TV. I was most surprised that Sheldon grabbed Amy's hand. Wow. How wonderful that Howard's historical moment to enter space brought all of them closer, if not just for a second. Now I'm thinking that since Raj and Bernadette were bonding over their love of Howard that Raj might act as a substitute husband for Bernadette while Howard is gone. That would be hilarious.
Good finale. It wasn't too exciting, nor too boring and it left the viewers with not just some laughs to hold them over til the fall, but also some sweet moments as well. I'm not particularly excited to see what's next for the gang, but at least I'm sure that I will continue to watch. I want to see how far Amy can get with Sheldon, and I'm still waiting for the day they will find a suitable match for Raj. Maybe the day will come in 2013.
