Oh, hey, Emily is here interacting with other characters and the girls are having a comic movie discussion, with the guys watching, agape. But then they segway into talking about romance movies because of the hot leads, oh boy! Hahaha, hilarious. Women and nerds, am I right? I'm sorry, the opening joke just got to me a little.
Alienware product placement! At least the symbol looks cooler than the ubiquituous apple.
I know that this forum is (understandably) pro-Sheldon, but as someone who has friends and relatives who act like this when they are sick... yeah, I do get the reactions of the others to Sheldon's behaviour when he was sick. Because after a few days of being treated like that, you do kind of want to throw that person out the window. What I don't get is why Sheldon needs to be taught "lessons". As seen in this episode, his behaviour is a good drive for comedy. This episode of seeing him learn "empathy" was quite fun, if a little repetitive, but much like the Shamy coitus, the problem is what comes after. Either they'll do that tiresome sitcom thing of a character learning the same lessons twenty thousands times, or they'll be stuck with a Sheldon that's just not odd enough to bounce the straight men against anymore.
As a sidenote, Penny's bewilderingly awful wardrobe choices are now infecting Leonard. What was that he wore in the middle of the episode, that too-small purple t-shirt and ineffectually thin grey fabric vest combo? I mean, I can barely match colours, I am not in any position to judge anyone's fashion harshly, but if even I notice they look terrible (and not just weird as they should), it's probably time to talk to the Costumes department.
Edit: Oh, and the less said about Amy's rule as Sheldon's benign spirit guide, the better. This is really just the fourth (!) retread of the idea that in a relationship, the woman must fix the man's personality.
