In a nutshell of this season finale of "The Big Bang Theory": Leonard has an offer to work for Stephen Hawking on a ship far away for a few months. Problem is, he would leave both Penny and Sheldon alone for a while. Meanwhile, Raj is trying to get Lucy to meet his friends but she'll only agree to meet one right now. That one turns out to be Amy but Lucy feels uncomfortable not because of Amy but of Raj badgering Amy to not do certain things. I'll stop there and just say this was another funny and touching ep of this, my favorite show currently on the air, especially concerning a breakthrough of Raj's at the end. I think you know what I'm referring to so on that note, I highly recommend "The Bon Voyage Reaction".

Raj and Lucy are again one of the focuses of this episode. The two of them are neurotic and depressing. They are made for each other. He, however, is pushy and makes her uncomfortable. The central thing is Leonard being offered a research fellowship in the North Sea, working for Stephen Hawking.

Sending a character away on a science related trip again feels a bit like repetition, but here's hoping they manage to navigate Leonard's a darn sight better than they did Howard's. That storyline was the pits.
I thought this was a nice way to close out what has been a bit of a patchy sixth series of the show. Yes, there have been some lovely episodes, but a few too many filler/so-so ones for me along the way.
The Raj/Lucy storyline continues to be engaging, and even Sheldon's brief bit of worry about change was well-played too.
On the whole, this was a good episode, and the show again reminds us how good it can be. For me it just needs to be a bit more consistent in doing so.
