'Big Bang Theory’s' Mayim Bialik Explains The Claustrophobia She Suffered While Filming Final Scenes

Yes, the 12th and final season, which premiered on September 24, 2018. will have its final two-part hour-long finale on May 16, 2019.

Oh, dry your tears reader. It's alright.

They wanted to do more, but the loveable professor said "no".

Yes, it seems the man who plays Sheldon in the show, Jim Parsons, didn't want to do anymore Big Bang Theory after season 12.

Which, you know, you could always give to me.

I can take a stab at Sheldon... Ah, who am I kidding? No one could do it better than Parsons.

This is one of our favorite couples in a series that produces awesome parings like they were Fords in the 1920s.

As in, there are only a few, but they are pretty sweet.

The pair met in Season 3 through Raj and Howard, who set up an online dating account for him without his knowledge.

Luckily they found an Amy and not a... well, Dr. Ramona Nowitzki.

After a brief encounter with the aforementioned creepy doctor, Sheldon flies to see Amy, does his signature "Knock-knock-knock Amy; knock-knock-knock Amy, knock-knock-knock Amy" and when she opens the door, there's Sheldon, on one knee, proposing.

Boom. Fade Out.

After much fritting and fretting, the two geniuses finally tied the knot.

Oh, don't they make such a beautiful... er.... such a beautifully smart couple?

We're treated to an episode called "The Inspiration Deprivation" where, amongst other things, Sheldon and Amy are put into a couple of sensory deprivation pods in order to alleviate Amy's fears about possibly winning her upcoming Nobel prize.

Well, it is, at least for Sheldon.

He floats around in his own mind, playing with equations, doing his whole "Sheldon thing". It's a pretty funny scene to watch...

She's under more pressure than ever!

She's berated by the faces of women who tell her, essentially, that if she doesn't win the Nobel prize, she won't be an inspiration to them, and they'll become stupid.

All in all, not very fun for Amy Farrah Fowler.

As it turns out, the woman who plays Amy, Mayim Bialik, didn't have a good time in the sensory deprivation pod either.

Apparently, she is claustrophobic, and being in that little enclosed space was not a treat for her.

She wrote:

"If you’ve never experienced claustrophobia, that’s what it can feel like: your throat closing in, water from some unknown source filling your chest and neck and head up as death greets you with her steely gaze inside of your mind. Needless to say, this wasn’t one of my favorite scenes to film."

She said about the scene:

"When filming, we would wait until the very last second before cameras were rolling to shut me into my pod. The only blessed relief was that I was able to see some light coming in through the back of the pod where the lid met the unit, so that actually helped."

It was valid, right?

If you're claustrophobic, you wouldn't want to be put in that situation, would you? I mean, I'm an Ablutophobic, and I couldn't possibly imagine getting into a bath!
