And I've gotten so tired of Bernadette's voice that I just have to mute her. Nails on a chalkboard, for those who remember what a chalkboard is.

Yes, he was trying to learn comedy and saw an opportunity to put the timing theory to work but, he at least connected with the fact she was hurting and needed a laugh.

I also found it interesting that in the Thanksgiving episode, Sheldon was the one that recognized the fact that Penny needed space after her fight with Leonard, and he told Leonard that while he (Sheldon) didn't know much about women, he wouldn't go after her if he were Leonard. And I think Sheldon was right and at that moment being away from Leonard was exactly what Penny needed. That was another instance of Sheldon noticing Penny's emotional state and doing something about it, albeit in his own little, awkward way.

Or two dogs with two heads wearing matching t-shirts. Anyroad, it’s a ghastly business. I once fired someone from my bookshop, when I was a young(er) prat, because they kept turning up with their SO. We’ll have no romance on MY watch, thank you very much! Perhaps I was just a git…

Ugh! Those couples are the WORST! It's like they're permanently tethered to each other. How do they manage to go to the loo, I wonder? The separation must be sheer agony.

Funnily enough I'm acquainted with a married couple who ALWAYS dress identically. One day they'll both be wearing the exact same western shirt, the next day might be tie-dyed t-shirt day, etc. It's so bizarre to me.

But, erm, yeah, Sheldon attempting to learn comedy. Perhaps I should reserve judgement, but it sounds like another attempt by TPTB to loosen his mantis carapace.

- too many couples
- too many relationship based storylines
- too much Amy and Bernadette in general
- too many Ladies' nights (with pathetic Raj in it)
- too boring marriage. Howard's character is destroyed for good.

The funniest thing about those images is that they looked so set-up. The show was more natural before they tried to make such a point of these couples. I waiting for them to get bored. Tick tock, tick tock.

The Sheldon plot was.weak but did we really.need.to see Bernadette reinact the diner scene from When Harry Met Sally with ? Talk about pointless.
