I am starting this thread in anticipation of tonight’s episode.
Did no one watch the show?
i did. it was alright. more of raj being a girly kind of guy. the sheldon and amy parts were rather good.
i am enjoying the show following. it took a bit to get into, now i enjoy the great indoors.
The B plot was ok, but had been done before. The A plot was stupid, badly acted, badly scripted, endlessly repetitive and Raj and Penny as twinsies made me want to commit GBH on everybody involved.
The only good thing I have to say about this episode is that at least there was a little science in it. This show has gone from belly-laughs about scientific items, to being merely a sitcom about newlyweds, and new parents. I’m honestly considering removing it from my DVR. This is not the show I signed up for.
I enjoyed seeing Raj and Penny bonding like BFF’s, but I am also beginning to wonder if they will ever give him another girlfriend.
Another sign that Penny and Leonard are in trouble. Seriously, Leonard is worried about RAJ???
He doesn’t want to go shopping with Penny, so let Raj go. I don’t like to going to the NRA dinner with hubby, so the son goes. It’s okay to have interests and hobbies that don’t involve the spouse.
I want Raj to be my houseguest. He seems great. He cooks, he listens when you speak, he takes real interest in your life-- like I said, great! I remember the same thing happening with Bernie and Howard when Raj lived with them and Howard reacted even worse than Leonard. Sheldon, on the other hand, didn’t want Leonard back after he and Raj switched places so Leonard could schtump that bitch Pria.
P.S. Raj has lost a ton of weight. Leonard, not so much.
It wasnt bad, but there was a dearth of laughs.
I’m enjoying the ongoing plot of Sheldon slowing learning to be a real-live boy, but god, I’m getting to hate Raj. He’s a wimp, a mooch, and a huge emotional leach. It’s one thing to be friends with your hosts, it’s another to do your damnest to come between them. Also, just make him bi, give him a boyfriend and get over his never-ending “Oh, I’m alone and creepy” subplot.
But what interests and hobbies do Leonard and Penny actually share, aside from sex? And how much more weight is Johnny Galecki going to gain? He’s looking absolutely pudgy.
But it was interesting watching Shamy define the rules and parameters of their work together.
I watched it but can’t seem to remember one thing about it. It was pretty forgettable apparently.
That’s why I think there’s a divorce in their future. TBS replayed the episode after they got back from Vegas after eloping, and they’re already fighting. Each has insecurities about the other person.
That said, I loved the Shamy collaboration. Amy won’t put up with Sheldon’s crap, but she knows how to keep it in perspective.
Her experiment sounded intriguing. Anyone know if there is real life research going on about it? So much stuff we do without thinking (like me typing this out right now, I don’t even have to think about where the letters on the keyboard are), at what point does the brain know what it wants?
Well, Penny and Leonard are shown having a good time together, even if they don’t share any particular interests.
I see them more as tolerating each other, with more than a little mutual condescension. I think most successful relationships fall somewhere between theirs and the Penny/Raj dynamic.
It’s well established stuff. More recent work.
No idea how that is somehow supposed to relate to the Copenhagen interpretation other that in a gobblygook sort of way.
isnt this the final season
As of about 10 days ago, they were renewed for two more seasons: 'The Big Bang Theory' Renewed for Two More Seasons at CBS
Next season is the last one, I believe.
No, this is the tenth season, and the show has been renewed through the twelfth season, so there will be at least two more seasons.
It’s clear that the neurological phenomena that Amy was talking about is real. The quantum theory that Sheldon was talking about is real. It’s not clear that these two things are related. There are some people that think that they can be made to fit together:
It’s interesting that the show has been trying to show the characters working together on their research in the past couple of seasons. First there was Leonard and Sheldon writing a paper together; then Howard, Leonard, and Sheldon worked together on that gyroscope; and now Sheldon and Amy have written a paper together. The writers on The Big Bang Theory have always been careful that the science each of the characters does has been fairly accurate. The equations on the whiteboards are always reasonably plausible calculations, for instance. In each of those collaborations though, the show has the characters go a little beyond accepted science to propose truly new science.
