The Big Bang Theory

While heading to the Bakersfield comic‑book convention, the group finds themselves marooned in a remote area after Leonard's car is taken, leaving them without any means of transport. Stranded, they are forced to find an alternative way to reach the convention.

The Bakersfield Expedition is a programme formatted as an episode, centred on a group of friends who set off for a comic‑book convention in Bakersfield. The show follows their journey, presenting the events that unfold as they try to reach the gathering. During the trip, the party’s plans go awry when Leonard’s vehicle is taken while they are en route to the convention. The theft leaves the group without transport, and they suddenly find themselves marooned in a remote, desolate stretch of road far from any town. Stranded in the middle of nowhere, the friends are forced to confront the reality of being isolated with no immediate means of getting to the event. The lack of a car means they must contend with the emptiness of the surrounding landscape and the uncertainty of how long they’ll remain stuck. With the comic‑book convention looming, the situation compels them to consider alternative ways of reaching Bakersfield. Their predicament underscores the challenges of an unexpected loss of mobility and the urgency of finding a solution before the gathering begins.
