"It's enough to wonder how the final couple months of Season 8 would have played out if not for Susi's passing. No doubt that unfortunate development necessitated some rewrites and shuffling of storylines."
Seriously? Howards Mom was hardly even a supporting character. They could have had her move to Florida and people wouldn't have missed her at all. They used her death to milk out three episodes because they had nothing else.
"And often, the weaker moments of the season came when the writers tried too hard to force drama and conflict rather than allowing it to develop naturally."
Considering this reviewer thinks the epitome of a naturally driven plot is The Prom episode it's obvious they wouldn't know a good story if it was handed to them on a golden platter. Plus the fact they think this show needs to push the relationships (Shamy) even more and finds the show "a familiar source of geek-oriented humor" is a spotlight on what a latecomer to the BBT party they are.
This review doesn't have the blatant, desperate Amy love of the AV Club reviewer, but I kept feeling like I was smelling the stench of a Fowling throughout the piece.
