Oh yeah, Worksong Redux, but with all the Penny Blossoms, sea shanties, charm, and overall surreal nuttiness siphoned right out of it. I don't look for there to be any exchanges like this...
Sheldon: Penny, I'm a physicist. I have a working knowledge of the entire universe and everything it contains.
Penny: Who's Radiohead?
Sheldon: <massive eye twitching>
The brilliant Captain Supercilious no longer exists, alas. In his stead is a bumbling mediocre scientist wah-ing that he can't do the math. How the mighty have been humbled.
And Penny's not even around because she's off escorting the cool chick to Sadsackville, the creepy place where The Unattached are condemned to spend their days ruminating about what losers they are.
So...instead of Penny Blossoms we have a, what is it, a guidance doohickey? Sorry, haven't been paying attention. And instead of The Fifth Annual East Rutherford, New Jersey Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Alliance Luau we have sinister military/government honchos.
And the coffee bit has become grotesquely bloated so that the audience can be hit over the head with the joke. "See, Sheldon avoids stimulants because he's worried about becoming addicted." Yes, thank you, I got it the first time.
I don't know, it all sounds grim and depressing, although I'm sure the audience as usual will be appreciatively hooting all the way. Sigh.
