I don’t always participate but I do read them. I sure can’t start it. I don’t know the names of the episodes. The D&D Sexploitation? Nope, that’s not a word. Or maybe my Searchfu is failing me. Gate kissing. The aforementioned D&D sex. That game that looked really boring even with all the impersonations. What did you guys think? ---

The Love Spell Potential I’m not impressed by the impressions. But Sheldon and Amy are getting somewhere. Could be an interesting season finale coming up. ---

4th Edition, ugh. They busted out Talisman in a very early scenario, this was just sloppy. Their nerd consultants slipped. ETA, Bizarre as the episode was if you’re going to show D&D on a tv sitcom meant for the general public do it like Community. ---

The no-touching “sex” scene was surprisingly touching. ---

> [@Sampiro](#): > > The no-touching “sex” scene was surprisingly touching. I agree. I’m unsure if the laugh track was necessary, but it was nice to see Sheldon show that he is at least listening to, if not understanding, where Amy would like to see things go. ---

with the opening scene i thought AFF would have the show. i have to reluctantly admit that i think Howie did the best. the Sheldon AFF thing at the end seemed poor to wedge it in. it seems that should be a subplot for a full show. ---

In one of the other Big Bang Theory threads, someone mentioned that the characters in this show overdress for Southern California. So I was paying attention tonight and in particular noticed the layers that Leonard was wearing and the sweater that AFF was wearing. How cold does it get in the LA area at night, even in winter? It did look like they’d be too hot in those clothes. (The funny thing is that other shows set in the colder parts of the country never portray the characters in winter gear. For example, I didn’t watch all of Dawson’s Creek, but I saw some episodes and I never saw a New England winter in the show.) (Edited to add that [this recap](http://www.avclub.com/articles/the-love-spell-potential,97130/) from The Onion AV Club has a nice photo showing all of the characters.) ---

What disappointed me was how easy the girls gave up on Las Vegas. The Strip is only 4 hours or so from the Burbank airport. They would have gotten there maybe an hour later than they would have by plane. They also lost the money for the hotel rooms, which Penny can ill afford. ---

Don’t most people just drive to Vegas from the LA area? ---

So I was paying attention tonight and in particular noticed the layers that Leonard was wearing and the sweater that AFF was wearing. How cold does it get in the LA area at night, even in winter? It did look like they’d be too hot in those clothes. Pasadena can get pretty chilly at night in the winter. Not cold, like the Northeast, but it can dip into the 30s, usually the 40s in winter. In the summer, however, it can get brutally hot (100+ for a week a couple of times a summer) and I don’t think that has ever been reflected in the show. BTW, I have a feeling I am in a minority,but I cannot stand Raj’s girlfriend. More specifically, I cannot stand the actress because I think she cannot act. It sounds like she is giving punchlines on every line. ---

It sounds like she is giving punchlines on every line. Yeah, she bugs me too. But then so did Bernadette at first and I thought Sheldon having a love interest would kill the show completely. I still think Priya was a dull character though. ---

She’s obviously . . . I think the word I’d use is “quirky,” and I want to see her interacting with the other ladies. (And I hope Penny’s bathroom window has a fire escape.) ---

OTOH, I love her (both the actress and the character.) She’s quirky, and I like quirky. Totally ninja’d by **panache** , down to the terms I used. Bastard. 😃 [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/has-no-one-started-a-big-bang-theory-thread-this-week/657953.md?page=2)
