> All the scenes with Penny/Leonard/Sheldon/Amy were great. I am coming to really dislike Bernadette, however. Sheldon is abrasive and annoying, but Bernadette is simply mean. Sheldon does thoughtless things because he has no social skills. Bernadette does thoughtless or mean things when she’s actually trying to hurt someone. Big difference.

I enjoyed the scenes with Leonard and Penny together. It’s about time they spent some time as a married couple- that whole setup has gone on too long and it’s just weird.
I don’t like Raj at all anymore, and I don’t understand why he is always there. The 3 of them are always just mean and snapping at each other and it’s not funny. All the characters have moments where they are not nice to each other, especially in this episode, but I don’t see any joy in the Raj/Howard/Bernie thing lately.
I don’t care if it has been years that they’ve all been friends, they all need to move on.

Finally, a decent episode this season. The baby thing is a real downer though. More Shamy, less Howardette, and they have to find something for Raj to do or get rid of him.

I’m not trying to threadshit, but I guess I may be. It may deserve a thread of it’s own. I haven’t liked an episode yet this season. Last season was better, but I didn’t really enjoy that either. I think we’re just watching out of habit.
Is the cast under multi-year contracts? I’m curious when people think the plug will be pulled.
This episode had a couple of chuckle-worthy moments. Raj’s wanting to be involved with the pregnancy is kind of funny. The cohabitation line has promise, but the writing has been weak so I’m not expecting much.

I preferred last episode. The Howard/Bernadett/Raj thing wasn’t given enough time and felt badly shoehorned in. I think this episode would have been much better to give Howard/Bernadette/Raj the week off and do a narrower focus on Sheldon/Amy/Penny/Leonard.
