I am starting a thread for tonight’s episode.
Worst premier episode ever!
Just getting the new season started as the last one ended.
I hate the new hairstyle/glasses/boob job.
Wow, I can’t believe the show found its groove again!
what it could happen.
Well the sight gag of Sheldon approaching Penny’s door with the tea tray was absolutely classic. Overall the Ep was OK.
I’ve always held that Leonard was an asshole. Glad to see I’ve been proven correct.
“Penis Filled with Science” would make a great name for a punk band.
I liked Leonard’s vow speech about atoms and stuff. Perfect for him.
Stuart needs to die in a fire. He could save a basket of kittens and puppies in the process, but he needs dead.
Raj made 6 figures for what…2 lines in the episode?
Penny’s hair changed color between the Vegas scenes–windblown grey-ish white/platinum with huge black roots–and her apartment scenes…wet blondish brown.
Leonard should have dumped Penny and married Alex.
I almost felt they were going to set up a Penny-Sheldon hook up when he took her the tea.
Didja notice Kevin Sussman is in the opening credits now? Stuart has made the Klinger Leap from ensemble performer to cast regular.
Another season of “Friends” coming up, it appears. Nice cameo with Sheldon’s mom, anyway.
Maybe they’ll take a cue from Joss Whedon and kill Stuart now that he’s in the credits. They’ve taken a fun character and turned him into a pathetic, creepy loser.
Sussman has been in and out of the opening credits for awhile now, seemingly at the whim of the Chyron operator.
Pretty blah episode, really. Pre-season publicity had made it clear that Leonard and Penny were actually going to get married, but I suppose I’m not surprised that it’s not going to go smoothly. They don’t seem to want to shake up the show by changing the living arrangements, and thus for the time being Leonard and Sheldon are still rooming together, and Penny is still living across the hall.
I foresee a dreary season of both couples trying to reconcile. I miss the days of geeky jokes.
I had a feeling that they would do the whole “We don’t get along as well now that we’re married” thing with Leonard and Penny. Disappointingly, I was correct. Still enjoyed the episode, though, especially seeing Sheldon and Penny together.
Remember when Stuart was the example of a Confident nerd who casually asked out Penny?
Yeah, I think that his experience with Penny (she blurted out Leonard’s name while kissing Stuart) is what “broke” him.
The producers must have thought it would be too obvious Penny and Stuart 1.0 belonged together, making it too improbable that she’d pick Leonard. So, now we have Stuart the Nebbish as comic relief.
I think I had registered at least 3-4 eyerolls by various characters by the time Amy made it to the living room couch. Pretty sure there should be formula for calculating the negative correlation between the number of eyerolls and the quality of a show…
Refresh my memory…why did Amy “take a break” from Sheldon? He came across as very needy and creepy.
I loved how only Howard and Stuart saw the actual nuptials. And Leonard has a habit of kiss-cheating on his girlfriend…remember the girl from the comic book store while Priya was back in India?
Penis filled with science was my favorite line.
IIRC, Amy and Sheldon were making out, but he stopped to ask her if she thinks he should start watching the Flash TV show. She got pissed that that’s what he thinks about while making out.
To be fair to Leonard, Priya actually slept with her old boyfriend while she was in India. So he probably thought he’d get away with it this time too.
Truth!
