They’re rotors, not propellers. ---

The girl (owner of the drone) was cute, but I suspected that the relationship would crash just like the drone. Called it! ---

A very funny episode. Amy, in particular, was hilarious. ---

I was expecting them to discover that the drone was used to spy on Bernadette when they accessed the footage, and when they tracked down the owner would discover it was a woman. ---

I liked the episode (and it was great to get to see Amy steal the show) but it seemed poorly paced: the ending in particular just seemed to stop abruptly. And the interminable gag about “Raj is pathetic and can’t get a girl” thing has been tedious and pathetic (but not funny) for more than a few years now. Either kill the character off or let him grow/change like the others. ---

Amy saved this episode. Raj and Stuart must die. They’ve turned what were moderately interesting characters into total joy-sucks. They ruin any scene they’re in. ---

> [@gytalf2000](#): > > The girl (owner of the drone) was cute, but I suspected that the relationship would crash just like the drone. Called it! When “Cynthia” (she was cute!) was watching the video from her drone at the end, she had the same sequence of bemused, then surprised, then disgusted looks that [Summer Glau](https://youtu.be/csVP7Xa5Fig?t=2m56s) had on the train episode . _Modern Family_ had something similar with Manny and a teen girl in the photo booth at the [Bar Mitzvah](https://vimeo.com/78540997) (at 2:40). It’s creepy, but I laugh anyways. ---

And the interminable gag about “Raj is pathetic and can’t get a girl” thing has been tedious and pathetic (but not funny) for more than a few years now. Either kill the character off or let him grow/change like the others. Agreed. It’s terribly terribly old and I’m tired of getting my hopes up for Raj every time he meets someone interesting. The vanity card was in Russian (?) Can someone translate? ---

Mayim Bialik’s Amy is stealing the show out from under the other actors, IMO. I love her abrupt shifts from “intelligent voice of reason” to “will do anything to get naked with Sheldon”. I was about to type that I _do_ wish they’d set Raj up with some semi-permanent girlfriend, but then I realized that there just wouldn’t be enough time to squeeze in a “C” storyline. Given the length of the episodes, there’s barely enough time for an A and a B plot.
