Thank you, Sir! I love AFF too, but I find her very sad these days. When we first met her, she was as satisfied in her isolation as Sheldon is, but she was shaken by her contact with real people.
Bernadette, though, with her delight in the recreational mixing of Ebola and the common cold, and her occasional lycanthropic Mrs. Wollowitz moments, is a bit scary. She does pretty well as a Bollywood leading lady, though. 
Not as funny as last week, but I loved Sheldon telling Howard and Leonard to “Keep your wimmen in line!” You know he was stressed to revert to Texas like that.
Also, more kudos to Oy for her spot-on analysis of Amy’s girl-crush. I get it, too - I could totally squee for for David Tennant and Neil Patrick Harris.
I thought it was one of the better episodes this season. I LOLed several times during the show. I love watching Leonard’s reactions.
OK, now that you’ve mentioned Leonard’s reactions, that is another thing they overdo. His eyebrows get a better workout than my right arm.
mmm
Notice Leonard said “I’m single now, I don’t have to deal with this.”
So does that mean last week was the complete resolution of Priya?
Jesus wept! That was one of the funniest half-hours I’ve seen in ages. I started busting a gut right around Amy playing “Everybody Hurts” on the harp, and didn’t stop. The scene with Sheldon where she negotiated him into cuddles, and then they tried to navigate their way into each other, was just perfect. Loads of great one liners throughout the show too.
I’m loving the expanded ensemble and really love what those characters add to the show. I especially liked the way Sheldon has been drawn into being a more sociable creature. Having a genuine, if stilted, affection for Amy has meant that he has to step into the role of an actual human being at times. I loved it that when drunk Amy called, he leaped into action to go get her, rather than just demanding Leonard do it.
And speaking as a former loner nerd whose air-quote “friends” decided not to tell him that they weren’t going to go and see Police Academy 5 after all, resulting in him sitting in that cinema alone and despondent, I found a surprising amount of pathos in this episode. 
Count me in as one who thought this was one of the best BBTs in recent memory. I mean, most of the complaints lately have been that the characters were getting stale. So I’m glad that the women get to take the lead role and it lets the writers explore some different material! Sure, a lot of the driving force behind Amy Farrah Fowler makes you go “awwww, poor thing” but it’s still funny as hell.
I’m going to start answering the phone with “ahoy” now.
So does Mr Burns.
"Simpsons did it! Simpsons did it! SIMPSONS DID IT! ": Dougie.
They’ve done that bit before (Howard telling Penny about “Raj” watching her jog every morning, Raj getting increasingly agitated, etc. in that one where Sheldon was a teleprescence robot)
A couple comments so far about “overdoing it” on this show. Plus a comment in the last episode thread.
Folks, this is Chuck Lorre here. Overdoing it is what he does. Raj’s inability to talk around women, Raj and Howard’s bromance. Howard’s mother being heard but not seen. Sheldon knocking three times. (Good grief, how many of these could one list?)
Lorre just sticks to a few things and does them over and over and over. Complaining about him overdoing it is like complaining about Scorsese doing too many gangster movies. It’s his thing. And networks love people who stick to a motif that gets ratings. He isn’t going to muck with it.
Sure, being original and constantly coming up with new stuff would be better, but look at Community’s ratings by comparison.
It’s a sitcom so they have to show the funny where they find it, but am I the only one thinking that Sheldon and AFF are turning into normal people?
AFF while socially disconnected has mentioned her loins for quite some time. she has also made many comments about attraction to females. there is normalcy caused by hormones (she is looking to sync with the others) hidden there.
events in this episodes were a big jump for AFF and Sheldon, though that isn’t disconnected from the upcoming marriage event.
also gradual may not fit for them. socially repressed nerds and religious can sometime wildly let loose when something new socially is tried. also from a science perspective there are nerve thresholds, activation energy and quantum levels so abrupt changes are normal and expected, though that might be too intellectual about a tv comedy even one about nerds and scientists (and that one enginer)
AFF’s loins have seen lots of action, only not with a partner (other than Gérard.) In one of her first appearances she mentions taking part in a scientific study of the female orgasm. She knows what she is missing, and the upcoming wedding, Leonard/Priya and her bonding with Penny are just making her wonder about what she has been missing. The others are unintentionally dragging both her and Sheldon towards normalcy, at least in one area. A little bit.
I am certainly glad that some other people thought this episode was a laugh riot. My favoite part was AFF dissecting the brain, and Penny puking in the sink at the end of it.
I don’t think Amy really has a girl crush on Penny. She is just desperate to relate to her peer group, and that is her misguided way of showing it. It’s in stark contrast to
Sheldon, who could be happy as a hermit.
It’s only a sitcom. Sometimes you all seem take them way too seriously.
Totally disagree on the Sheldon half of that
I think they are making him more of a completely unreal person, there is nobody in the entire world who acts like he does or would act like that and continue to function. This change in character (he was more normal in earlier seasons) is what got me thiiiiiiiiiiiis close to ditching the show at times last year.
