A great episode featuring much geekiness, with all five leads playing major roles. Leonard: What happened? Penny: Sheldon tried to steal the ring and I punched him. Leonard: That’s my girl. ---

I thought this episode was hilarious. possibly my favorite, at least in the top 3. ---

For some reason I didn’t think it was all that great. I guess I’m gonna have to rethink my Penny + Sheldon = Funny thing. I thought they were doing it too much, but last night’s episode, which was still good seemed to be missing something. The best part was at the end, I totally didn’t see that coming, thinking Leonard was a “Goody-two-shoes.” The worst part was Sheldon catching on, on the ending tag. They should’ve left well enough alone. What’s up with Jim Parsons’s face? I noticed that it’s full of bumps? Does he have horrible acne or what? Or did they just do a bad makeup job. His face was full of tiny red bumps. ---

I forgot to say, I loved that bit, too. I also liked the banter throughout the show about Penny dating such a nerd, and how he’s the best of the bunch. 🙂 ---

The scenes with the four of them holding the ring were hilarious. How many times did thet have to be reshot because somebody messed up or cracked up? ---

I like Penny’s line when Leonard didn’t bring her any food - “I am going to go grill a sandwich and window-shop on e-harmony” ---

> [@Morbo](#): > > “Howard - I’m so glad we came to this gentile strip club! Here’s some bacon for her g-string!” Even better, he said bacon for the shiksa’s g-string. It’s very comforting that a shy, awkward astrophysicist from New Delhi is hip to Yiddish slang. ---

I suppose half the sitcoms that ever existed would never have a plot line, but just once I would like to see someone lock a freakin’ door to keep an annoying person out. ---

Weakest. Episode. Ever. I’m guessing this was storyboarded and written just before spring break. ---

> [@Contrapuntal](#): > > I suppose half the sitcoms that ever existed would never have a plot line, but just once I would like to see someone lock a freakin’ door to keep an annoying person out. But Leonard and Sheldon live in the same apartment. And a lot of apartments don’t let you put locks on interior doors. Sure they could do it anyway, but it doesn’t seem like Leonard’s style. ---

Well he needs to bite someone else’s instead of letting Sheldon keep barging in on him and Penny. He did it a few episodes ago when they were warming up the sheets a bit! Once would be once too many in my room. I’ve lived in may apartments and have never been restricted from locking my bedroom door. ---

> [@Contrapuntal](#): > > I’ve lived in may apartments and have never been restricted from locking my bedroom door. I said installing a lock if there isn’t one there. And in, I think all, of the apartments I’ve lived in, you weren’t allowed to change the doorknobs. ---

You don’t need a lock you can get a small bolt for the door. Kind of like a chain latch. It’s not secure but it keeps out kids and brothers 🙂 [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/big-bang-theory-3-8-the-precious-fragmentation/531850.md?page=2)
