The Big Bang Theory (TV Series) The Closure Alternative (2013) User Reviews

Just Be Yourself

[Hitchcoc · 9/10 · 24 October 2021]

We have multiple events going on. Each is about lack of fulfillment. Sheldon is upset because one of his SciFi shows was cancelled in mid plot. Amy tells him about his inability to handle lack of closure and proves it to him. Penny has become sullen over disappointments in life and has trouble enjoying the little things. And Raj misreads something Lucy wrote and becomes phony. Things, of course, need resolution. Ironic.....Right!

"The Closure Alternative" was another very funny ep of "The Big Bang Theory"

In this last ep of "The Big Bang Theory": Sheldon finds out that "Alphas" was cancelled without resolving the cliffhanger and that galls him so Amy tries to cure him of his closure issues by not finishing tic-tac-toe, depriving him of knocking down dominoes, or not saying the last word of "The Star Spangled Banner". Meanwhile, Raj finds out about Lucy's blog and is miffed when she describes him as "feminine". I'll stop there and just say this was another hilarious ep of this, my favorite current show, and the characterizations are, as always, right on target. Oh, and I also loved the story of Leonard and Penny's discussion of his showing "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" to her even though she simply thinks it's "okay".

The Closure Alternative

Now that this show seems to have branched out into telling three stories an episode to accommodate its larger cast (and the fact that everyone in it is able to carry their own storylines) the need for tighter/stronger plots is essential.

This episodes manages that quite nicely, with all the plots working well.

I like the slow growth in the character of Penny, and the continued Sheldon/Amy dynamic.

The storyline that works best though is the one involving Raj. His budding relationship with Lucy has been one of the highlights of this sixth series, and it's been lovely to see that character finally get some development.

All in all, one of the more complete episodes.

we live in a world where closure isn't always an op...

Waited a long time for this episode.Wish they would make it a weekly show. But this episode was awesome. " You don't know what it's like to feel completely frustrated ,to have a Desire build up within you and be denied any opportunity for release". This dialogue made me laugh a lot.Poor Amy!.Feel a little bad for her!! . Penny is tugged to watch a certain Vampire Show!. Also Raj's attempt to project a more manly image was also pretty hilarious. Sheldon goes bananas over Alphas S3 getting canceled , meanwhile Amy discovers his pathological need for finding closure.And her little experiments drive sheldon Mad!. My rating : 10/10!
