Warning: full episode spoilers follow.
Like a lot of shows this week, The Big Bang Theory aired its last episode before the big season finale. There hasn't been a great deal of build-up towards any one, particular season-capping event. Certainly nothing like the lead-in to Wolowitz venturing into space in Season 5. "The Gorilla Dissolution" started out innocently enough, breaking the characters off into pairs and having them deal with their separate conflicts. But it eventually resulted in something much bigger, and something long-term fans have been waiting an awfully long time for. So in the end, it was a momentous way to set up the Season 7 finale.
"The Gorilla Dissolution" divided its time pretty evenly among three pairings - Howard and Bernadette, Leonard and Penny, and Sheldon and Raj. Only poor Amy was mostly left out of the fun, though she probably would have been a third wheel in any of these three conflicts. And thankfully, each plot threat seemed to receive the attention it needed. I do feel that the Wolowitzes are a bit overdue for a more in-depth storyline, but this wasn't really it. Theirs was the relative weak point of the episode, centering mainly on Howard's patented brand of mother-loathing we've come to know so well. It was fairly amusing to see Mrs. Wolowitz become the prototype for their eventual child. But on the whole, I was glad the writers didn't focus any more attention on this material than they did.
