In the limited time Kripke and Bert had inThe Big Bang Theory , it ’s clear they were excellent scientists doing interesting work that we did n’t get to see except when it intersected with Sheldon or another of the main gang . These 12 sequence make me more excited than ever forStuart Fails to Save the Universe .
12The Vengeance Formulation (season 3, episode 9)
Kripke Starts A Prank War With Sheldon
This sequence highlights Barry Kripke ’s mischievous side , as he pranks Sheldon by pumping atomic number 2 into Sheldon ’s office during a phone interview , causing Sheldon ’s voice to become a high up - pitched close call . So many fictitious character take the air on eggshells around Sheldon , Kripke ’s antagonistic joke and fearlessness in needle Sheldon were a welcomed alteration of pace .
The program backlash when Kripke unexpectedly arrives with a radical of VIPs , including the university Chief Executive .
Kripke ’s rivalry with Sheldon is never fully elucidated , but I ’ve always felt Sheldon makes himself a target by taking himself so gravely . In revenge , Sheldon attempts to prank Kripke by dump liquid foam all over his science lab . However , the plan backfires when Kripke unexpectedly make it with a radical of VIPs , include the university President of the United States — and to make matters bad , Sheldon ’s tap confession ensures everyone know exactly who ’s to blame .

Kripke hijacks Sheldon ’s architectural plan , bringing up a karaoke machine from his car that everyone but Sheldon is excited to use .
While this interpretation of friendly relationship is n’t what Sheldon intended , it get me even more excited forStuart Fails to Save the Universe . ascertain Kripke and Stuart hanging out with Zack had a dissimilar , loose vibration than the originalBig Bang Theoryfriend group . Their put down - back nature — bonding over beer and karaoke rather than scientific debate — experience like a bracing modification of gait within a intimate human race .

Six years after it cease , The Big Bang Theory is finally getting a right spinoff after Young Sheldon conk out to stay true to its premise over time .
It ’s always compelling to see a persona snatch Sheldon off guard duty , especially since Sheldon is so reluctant to hold he ’s not the smartest person in the room , and Kripke often has this burden on him . While Kripke ’s grandness in physical science is undeniable , it ’s amusing that he fails to clean up on Sheldon ’s obvious lie as Sheldon awkwardly plays along with Kripke ’s assumptions . Kripke ’s ability to meld societal easiness with scientific expertness make him a refreshing contrast to Sheldon ’s rigid personality , offering a rarefied example of a Caltech scientist with impregnable interpersonal skills .

Stuart is defined by his sadness and desolation , but he ’s also vocal about his desire for friendship and company .
The Big Bang Theoryoften play his impression and spoiled luck for laughs , yet there was something incessantly hopeful about Stuart ’s willingness to keep striving for more and continue open to novel experiences . I wish the show had pair him and Raj together more often in the latter half of the serial ; as two knight bachelor navigating romantic struggles , their moral force had the potential difference for both heartfelt moments and alone comedic chemistry .

Stuart ’s chemical science with “ Debbie , ” as she demand him to call her , unsettles Howard and Bernadette , butthis marks a new era for Stuart , with a little more constancy . Perhaps out of desperation , Stuart is loose and grateful , name this a “ dream job ” and deny to find ashamed of his friendship with Mrs. Wolowitz , which becomes a swelled part of his arc in season 8 .

When Sheldon admits he ’s jealous , Bert mildly reminds him of all the things Sheldon has to be thankful for , including Amy . Bert ’s contentment with life-time ’s simple pleasures , like his plan to get LASIK surgery and attend to a taping ofEllen , highlights his grounded personality .
Despite several mass state yes , Howard only realizes he ’s in the wrong when Barry Kripke says no , ironically serve as Howard ’s moral compass .
In a separate subplot , Howard build a miniature Stephen Hawking robot and polls people to determine if it ’s offensive . Despite several people saying yes , Howard only realizes he ’s in the wrong when Barry Kripke says no , ironically serving as Howard ’s moral compass . The fact that Kripke is positioned as the litmus test test for inappropriate deportment is especially mirthful givenHoward Wolowitz ’s redemptionafter his questionable history early inThe Big Bang Theory .

Chuck Lorre is plunge a brand new The Big Bang Theory spinoff , which pass to be the sodding timing to wreak back Leslie Winkle .
Interestingly , while Bert openly admits to being lonely , he still refuses to abide Sheldon ’s discourtesy . It ’s always refreshing to see how side characters inThe Big Bang Theorychallenge Sheldon ’s behavior , and Bert ’s easy yet quietly ego - assured nature makes his response in particular satisfying . His ability to maintain firm boundaries despite his desolation adds depth to his part , which make me even more excited to see him rejoin inStuart Fails to keep reach the Universe .
