Production

Several high-profile celebrities appear in the season. In "The Transporter Malfunction", actor Leonard Nimoy appears as a voice actor, playing an action-figure Spock that Sheldon imagines talking to him. In the following episode, "The Hawking Excitation", cosmologist Stephen Hawking appears as a guest star. Astronaut Mike Massimino appears in "The Friendship Contraction" and "The Countdown Reflection".[5]

Stephen Hawking went on to appear in the season 6 episode "The Extract Obliteration" and the season 7 episode "The Relationship Diremption". Mike Massimino later appeared in the season 6 episodes "The Decoupling Fluctuation" and "The Re-Entry Minimization".

The season finale depicts Howard Wolowitz traveling to the International Space Station (ISS) on board a Soyuz rocket. Thanks to technical consulting from astronaut Mike Massimino, who also plays himself on the show, the production crew was able to put together sets that realistically depicts the Soyuz capsule and the ISS. The Soyuz capsule was constructed based on photos from NASA, the Kansas Cosmosphere for dimensions, and scavenged parts from an aerospace junkyard in Los Angeles.[6]

Release

Critical reception

The fifth season received critical acclaim. On Rotten Tomatoes, 100% of seven critics gave the season a positive review.[30]

Oliver Sava of The A.V. Club gave the season a B+ rating.[31] He described Raj as the "weak link of the show" as he has not "[evolved] like the rest of the cast" and is "trapped in season one mode".[32] Sava gave high ratings to episodes where Raj did not feature prominently, such as "The Pulled Groin Extrapolation"[33] or "The Russian Rocket Reaction"[32] and described "The Wiggly Finger Catalyst" (an episode focusing on Raj) as "one of the series' worst",[32] giving it a D+ rating.[34] Sava's favorite relationship on the series is between Amy and Penny.[31]

Jenna Busch of IGN disliked the previous season but said that season 5 "is far more balanced";[35] Busch gave season 5 episodes ratings between 5.5 and 9, with an average rating of 8.0.[36] She also noted that the show has "matured" by including other women in the main cast.[35]

Tom Gliatto from People gave the season 3 out of 4 stars, stating that it is "bright and obvious as a cartoon, yet written with a clean, precise patter of jokes".[37]
