The Big Bang Theory

Season 12: Final Season

Episode 19: The Inspiration Deprivation

Another unfunny episode, infantilizing the already beta male cast to a new low. Amy gets a meltdown about how being the 4th woman to win the nobel prize is somehow more important than the advancement of science itself.. because well if she doesn't, it'll mean women everywhere will marry some loser man and do whatever else they want to do with their life and not pursue science because it interests them, and the patriarcy wins... that's honest to god basically the reasoning. Meanwhile in the Wolowitz household the patriarcy isn't doing so well, with Howard being forced, yes forced, to cancel buying the scooter he wanted, because apparently he married his dominating mother, and they're both fine with that. Thankfully this is the last season, even though the chance of a dignified conclusion is long gone.
