Many many American Jews eat bacon cheeseburgers. Very few get cremated. Seriously. Sticking to the death rituals is something you do even if you don’t do virtually anything else, especially for your beloved mother.

I thought the episode was ok. Nothing special, but not horrible either. Just seemed like it was all disjointed.

I concur.

Here’s the deal: we have a DVR. Watching _TBBT_ right away is no longer a priority. Checking on the latest thread even less so.

Very telling.

All the subplots flat out stunk. Just stuff to give people something to do.

The Penny and Sheldon part had promise but just didn’t deliver. In particular, Sheldon acted very un-Sheldony several times.

Back to crappy episodes after the promise of the previous one.
