The Big Bang Theory Review: 'The Fermentation Bifurcation'

"The Big Bang Theory" season 9 has so far managed to keep the fans entertained but for how long? It looks the show is need for a quintessential moment that deeply etches in the mind of the viewers, the very reason why people watch this show in the first place.

Episode 22 of the show had some nice moments that Bernadette and Sheldon shared between themselves, an unlikely pair, who bonded because they couldn't take the wine tasting trip with the other gang members. In this episode, Sheldon shares with Bernadette his fixation with the trains and he also helped her take a break from being "Pregnant Bernadette" by playing a game of Dungeons & Dragons.

Meanwhile, Raj's plan of dating multiple women failed miserably as Zack failed to follow Raj's advice. Besides Raj also accidently spills that he is dating two women, as if introducing Claire to the group as a friend wasn't bad enough. Once again, not that the moment was incredibly funny, but it did appear to be an important part of the show storyline.

The only positives in this episode were that unlike other episodes, Penny and Leonard did not argue like the old married couple. Sheldon was, as usual, a charm and lovely in his company with Bernadette who is off alcohol due to her pregnancy. The two are shown sharing a few good laughs as they skip the trip to the wine bar.

As far as the storyline is concerned, the last episode did manage to deliver in between moments but a lot of its classic humor is still missing from its latest season. The fans can only hope that the show runners will up the ante as it approaches the season finale.
