Season 6 Redemption - (Episode poll) - Idle Miscreant - 03-17-2014 After the staggering, tear-inducing, scintillating success of the Season 7 Episode Poll (only a minor exaggeration I think?) here is the Season 6 one as promised. Again, nothing like Shawshank, just pick some noteworthy episodes. If you can't think of any (and presumably thereby ruling out their inclusion as "noteworthy") or can't remember what the buggers were called, then do please consult this list; SEASON SIX EPISODES We'd write our own summaries, but they'd probably end up rather rude for some of the episodes, so we'd best remain neutral. Gripe chose (albeit with reservations over some); Re-Entry 43 Peculiarity Parking Spot Bakersfield Cooper/Kripke Monster Isolation Proton Resurgence My reservations are obviously towards Bakersfield and Cooper/Kripke, as we've frequently mentioned the first has Sheldon expressing self-doubt for illogical reasons, ie, the disdain and mockery of other people, and ones not worthy of his attention to begin with, and the second because it quite blatantly points out that he's not as smart as he thinks he is, whereas the entire history of the show (bar the comical diversion of Winkle and Kim) stresses that he IS, in fact, as smart as he often professes. Indeed it is his saving grace. Demonstrating that Kripke (of all people) can best him in his own field, renders all his past behaviour highly questionable. It's also an effort to rewrite the character post hoc, which is artistically indefensible as far as I'm concerned. They're doing the same thing in Season 7 with Sheldon and "romance". It's not character growth, it's re-writing. And it can go to hell. As for why include them then...Well, they were both very early-season in style, and Vintage Sheldon was present in considerable force...particularly as Darth Cooper, so...Yes yes I know. Just choose your own episodes. And do by all means explain your choices. If you have a moment.

RE: Season 6 Redemption - (Episode poll) - FlyingMonkey - 03-17-2014 I think I've wiped this whole season from my mind. Needy, manipulative, desperate, sex-starved Amy in full blossom. Her quavering in Fish Guts and Love Spell still makes me cringe. The bright spot was the appearance of Bob Newhart as Prof. Proton. Too negative? RE: Season 6 Redemption - (Episode poll) - wellplayedpenny - 03-17-2014 I liked the girls vs guys night but I realize as I look over this list that the episodes I feel the most for are ones I positively HATE. I've already ranted on Bakersfield so won't get into that again but The Habitation Configuration with Amy being a complete douche to Wil and how Sheldon was beaten down to accept and defend such behavior has my vote for worst episode ever. At least it's the only one that had me actually yell at the telly 'because you're being a bitch!' to Amy's complaint about Sheldon not defending her.

Maybe we should have made it most hated 6.04 The Re-Entry Minimization is in the lead for this season so far. We'll have to do all the seasons and then present a HQ faves list for the show. RE: Season 6 Redemption - (Episode poll) - CassandraElise - 03-18-2014 Re-Entry 43 Monster Closet Closure Re-entry was actually funny and featured the Shenny kiss. 43 had vintage Sheldon. Don't remember the B plot though, so what does that tell you? Monster was the highlight of the season for me. Loved all the Sheldon/Penny interactions and loved that Penny was doing serious acting. I found Closet touching and I actually liked Howard's storyline with his dad. And Closure I mainly like because Sheldon told Amy he hated her. RE: Season 6 Redemption - (Episode poll) - Wisp - 03-18-2014 I thought Cooper/Kripke was a giant missed opportunity. Sheldon using SEX as a "face saver" (WTF) did not sit right with me. Also I could have done without the image of Amy's "squishy parts". Sooo... I chose 43, Closet, Re-entry. (I wanted to hug poor Howard being all ignored in Re-entry. They treated him like crap. Couldn't they have put up with his stories and boasting for a little while? He had been IN SPACE after all. You'd think our SCIENTISTS would have been at least a bit interested...) I thought I was going to enjoy Bakersfield. It could have been great, but they covered Sgeldon's lovely Data costume in slushie and made him doubt himslef. |
