She already got naked in the first one. So the only person on the show to not have seen her naked is probably Wil. ---

I thought the episode was fine. It had some good moments and the bit will Wil Wheaton was actually pretty damn good. > [@Ranger\_Jeff](#): > > So, who’d pay to see Serial Apeist II in a theatre? Direct to Cable/Video is my guess. ---

Syfy. But that falls under “Direct to Cable,” doesn’t it? Personally, I’m happy to see that she’s accepting work. ---

> [@Claverhouse](#): > > Another Chuck vehicle, _Two and A Half Men_, has also gone downhill since around the same time, but that was due to the much publicized loss of Charlie Sheen ( whose _Anger Management_ is surprisingly literate and good-humoured ) whose leaving made it not only increasingly mean-spirited and much more vulgar — despite the glorious Courtney Thorne-Smith. His pleasant, but forgettable ( and chutzpah entitled ) _Mom_ suggests his massive talent is most successful in synergy with only the most able and enduring leading actors. As far as I’m concerned, the pilot episode was the one where Amber Tamblyn shows up. I had no idea she could be funny, and the earlier “practice” episodes made me hate Charlie Sheen. > [@Ranger\_Jeff](#): > > So, who’d pay to see Serial Apeist II in a theatre?

> [@Ranger\_Jeff](#): > > It was nice to see Raj on that date with Emily(?). I’ll be curious to see if it goes forward. She’s already met Amy. Lucy didn’t really get past that. And I’m wondering about Lucy calling. As much as I enjoy Kate Micucci, unless Lucy wants to hook up with Stuart, I don’t see much between Lucy and Raj. And I wonder why he never called Yvette the Vet. I wondered about that, too! Raj seemed to have made a connection with Yvette, and I was hoping to see them get together. I wonder if we will see her in the future. ---

> [@Ranger\_Jeff](#): > > And I’m wondering about Lucy calling. As much as I enjoy Kate Micucci, unless Lucy wants to hook up with Stuart, I don’t see much between Lucy and Raj. Well I guess her schedule has opened up a bit since “Raising Hope” aired it’s last episode on the very next night. She’s got to get something lined up for the next season. ---

It should never be over-emphasized that Bernadette is a very bad scientist: a very, **very** bad scientist, the kind of scientist who should be exiled to a remote part of Patagonia where there are no scientific tools other than two sticks within 500 miles. Yet she imagines herself to be much more intelligent than her husband, who whatever his idiosyncrasies did go into space. Which is prolly Mr. Lorre’s little joke, since as I’ve indicated, his view of womankind is not high. ---

A so-so episode, but a lot better than most of the recent ones. The Amy/Sheldon PS4/XBone bit just didn’t have a good enough payoff. What was the line? “I can’t feel my legs.” was about it. BTW, neither has DDR2, the issue Sheldon raised was DDR4 vs DDR3. PS4 has (mainly) GDDR5 while XBone has DDR3. Calling GDDR5 DDR4 is something Sheldon would have never done. Wil Wheaton is a terrible actor. The orang suit is too good for him. When it comes to Emily vs. Lucy, you pick Emily. Lucy is a basket case. ---

> [@silenus](#): > > **Claverhouse** , did Lorre kick your puppy or what? You don’t like him, we get it. But you are veering into monomania and one-trick ponydom here. I like Chuck Lorre fine. But the flaws in his approach mean his sitcoms start excellently but go off the longer they run: to be sure, due to a number of reasons the final season of most sitcoms veers into the absurd, yet the last season of say, _Dharma & Greg_, _Cybill_ or presently the changed _Mike and Molly_ approaches the barely watchable. He is one of the few geniuses in television; but his treatment of his stars leaves much to be desired.
