Starting of with some Best Buy and Best Western product placement and Sheldon and Amy conference chatting. Mayim is at least more fun to watch playing in love than she is playing miserable. While I still don't like the pairing, nor understand it, it at least doesn't drag my mood down every scene. And there were few of them this week!
Raj and Sheldon had a bit of nice dialogue. I really do miss that couple in scenes. I don't like that it's dragged into the relationship circus. Sheldon is still often written like a 5 year old, but I do like Raj pretty consistently. Also, that Sheldon hoped the middle-sized astroid was on a collision course with earth gives naming it after Amy a whole 'nother taste.
Leonard and Penny's relationship is still as weird as before. Penny patently doesn't give a shit about her husband and also says Leonard turned her into his mother (and that she misses when life was simpler - we all do, Penny). Of course, that comes with the undercurrent of haha, grown men that still play with toys, what losers.
Comic book guy is just the creeper now. Like, on an uncomfortable, might turn into serial killer level. He's pretty much stopped being a person and become the gimmick.
The psychiatrist is the mother from Malcom in the Middle, yeah? She did quite a good job. I really don't have that much else to say. It was an okay episode. I didn't get the last scene where Leonard was playing with a bunch of kids in suburbia? That was pretty out of left field. But otherwise, I do prefer this sort of "filler" episode to all the Supah Serious Sitcom Moment "Milestone" episodes.
