Review:
Last week, we found out that Bernadette is confirmed pregnant. This week's wonderful episode begins with Bernadette confirming that she is pregnant. Of course, Howard reacts very well to the news. Him and her announce to their friends about the good news. However, he freaks out about the changes of his lifestyle because he must bring a lot more money in to provide for the child while she has a lot of restrictions on what not to do while being pregnant. I loved how Amy commented on whether to change doctors. Bernadette is right to freak out because of her hormones kicking in. The first half of the episode covered well on parenthood and growing up. The second part of the episode was what made this episode the best of the season since the Star Wars-themed episode: the gang going out for karaoke!!!!! I also laughed until I cried when the ladies were singing Justin Bieber's "Baby" in front of Bernadette's stomach. Also, I enjoyed drunk Sheldon after finding out the news of Howard going to be a first-time dad. I definitely can understand why Howard and Bernadette freaked out at first, but I know they will make awesome parents. It was about time that this season explored more about Howard and Bernadette when they were nearly overlooked in favor of the Shamy drama and Leonard/Penny's marriage. I still think that Leonard and Penny's chemistry is weak compared to the other couples on the show. Despite this, I enjoyed this episode because of the gang getting together to hang out like old times. I am glad that Raj got over Emily easily as last week's episode he moped around her dumping him. My question to the readers: Who do you think would be better as parents: Shamy or Leonard/Penny? I asked this because Leonard mentioned that him and her would make amazing parents. With the past two episodes beating my modest expectations in an inconsistent entertaining season, I now have high hopes for the episode of Sheldon's birthday. Fantastic job to the writers for entertaining me this week.
