Did anyone really believe Howard and Bernadette would successfully get
married? Or that Howard would actually get into space? Or that Amy would
willingly give up a chance to wear her bridesmaid dress? Or that the show would ... more
work in a cameo by an actual astronaut (Mike Massimino)? "The
Countdown Reflection" wrapped up Season 5 not with a cliffhanger, but by
setting up Season 6 with three more firmly established couples -- and,
yeah, Raj.
