The Citation Negation

Okay, so this is a new low, even for the insanely low standard of season 12. Bernadette tries to torture and humiliate Howard for the 1.000th time for no reason whatsoever, Sheldon and Amy prove that they can't do proper research before writing an important theory, Raj and Howard are playing Fortnite in a desperate attempt to reel in any younger viewers.

Now the real question is: Who the hell cares about any of that? Nobody. There's no point to any storyline in this episode. It's just a filler episode to stretch out the season and to (failingly) hide the fact that the writer (I'm assuming it's just one, everyone else must have fled the set) is just plain out of ideas.

And the worst part is, we can feel that the actor's don't give a damn about their characters anymore, they just read the script and don't put a single thought into how their original character would behave. There's nothing convincing about Sheldon's sudden outburst, Amy is as comforting as a dead fish, Bernadette is as mean as ever, and the comic book store girl delivers a horrible performance trying to teach Fortnite to Bernadette like a drill sergeant.

I have to be honest, this is the worst episode yet and it deserves a crushing -5 out of 10.
