The Big Bang Theory, Season 9, Episode 17 (February 25, 2016) -- "The Celebration Experimentation"

Then we should have heard that. Anything would have been better than those interminable toasts! :smack:

All right, Kripke hit on Penny once, when he first met her. I’ll give you that. He hit on her when he was on his way to the bathroom, to floss his lunch out of his gum pockets. Smoooth operator, love for sale! :rolleyes:

Kripke was in character, the rest of terentii’s criticisms hit the nail on the head.

[VOICE OF BRUISER LaRUE]: Well, different strokes for different folks! :wink:

I see it as a missed opportunity, of which there have been an awful lot on BBT lately.

I can see him hitting on someone like Penny or Alex (**Yum! ** :o ); not Beverly.

Can’t imagine he’s ever been successful, though. :frowning:

Seems he hits on any female he sees. If the show continues long enough he may eventually score.

Classic Beverly would have been psychoanalyzing him and undercutting his confidence unmercifully. That would have been funny!

When has he even seen another female besides Penny and Beverly? :confused:

Maybe, but she never played perennial emotional punching bag Meg Griffin.

Amy gave him some insights on String Theory.

He was somewhat miffed when there were no strippers at Howard’s bachelor party… does that count?

…you are entitled to express your opinion. That doesn’t make it objectively correct. Frank Burns should have been allowed to grow. IMHO Winchester was a much better for MASH because he wasn’t a one-note character. IMHO Sheldon is funnier now than he was at the beginning. I feel letting him grow has made a better, funnier, more realistic character. You feel different. What the heck do you want me to do about that? I’m not going to change my mind just because you insist that I do.

Feel free to piss your pants as much as you like. I once invited to a dinner and on the table I was at a very famous person that I respected. I didn’t talk to her at all for the entire night (apart from a very quick hello) because I was petrified. Just because you choose to piss your pants in the presence of celebrity doesn’t mean that we all do. We all react differently, and we’ve seen Sheldon be dismissive of people in the past.

Sheldon saw Adam West on the couch just before the point he started losing it due to social anxiety, so I assume that’s why he didn’t go all fanboy right then.

Did it seem to anyone else that Leslie Winkle’s voice sounded higher than it used to?

Well, yes…except karaoke.

Oh, I dunno. When she was “friends with benefits” with Leonard she was pretty reasonable. Anyway, it’s Sheldon’s birthday party. I think she’s capable of putting it on hold for a couple of hours.

Kripke hit on Penny, and Amy, and goes to a strip club on a regular basis.

$$$?

YMMV.

When Sara Gilbert is doing her deadpan snark, her voice is lower.

Re: Adam West. During the car ride things seemed to warming up nicely. But once in the apartment his appearance was a dud.

He sometimes does quite a good job when cast in the role of Adam West. E.g., Drop Dead Gorgeous. So I blame the writing.

(How his career survived The Happy Hooker Goes Hollywood I’ll never understand.)

Good to see Sara Gilbert again.

Pretty much wasted Christine Baranski. (Well, they also wasted Wheaton, but who cares?)

And … that’s about it.

Exactly. The continuity gestapo often think it must happen on screen for it to happen.

Have seen Bernie and Howard in bed doing the “dance with no pants” lately? If not, how in the hell is she recently preggo? Well duh, that’s what married people do!

IMO, it is completely in character for Kripke to be a lounge lizard, hitting on every single woman (& failing miserably).

I am sure Mary and Meemaw sent their birthday wishes to Sheldon. Well, duh, that is what Mothers and Meemaw do. The show had a special guest star with Adam West, and Stuart, Will Wheaton, Barry, Leslie, and Beverly on set as well as the seven regulars.

If the character was still living, Professor Proton would have been a good guest. Except he would have thought long and hard about attending considering the 4 flights of stairs.

Sitcom characters only have lives on screen. If it doesn’t happen or get referred to or implied on screen, it never happened. Doesn’t matter how much fanwanking the collective fanbase indulges in.

Tell it to Infant Wolowitz.

Well, there was that noodle incident when they were on that expedition in the Arctic. Or was it the Antarctic?
