7.18 The Mommy Observation

[Gamma]

I got the feeling that Bernie & Amy don't necessarily think any thing is wrong with Lenny's relationship, They just think what they have with their significant other is even more beautiful and special. Stuart knows all three of these couples (supposedly really well now....snicker) and him saying he thinks Lenny is the shining example of couple hood (snicker) was a slap to the other two couples. It's ego not really what they think about Lenny as a whole. (Did anyone else find it ironic that Stuart is telling us what a great couple Lenny is when they've just spent 5 minutes proving they haven't TALKED about the most basic things when it comes to their relationship)

I really enjoyed Sheldon for the most part this episode, very vintage which just makes it sadder since we probably won't see THIS Sheldon again for a while. Howard was also pretty good as a friend this episode.

BTW, Saw a post on Facebook that they wish the tag had Penny and Sheldon walking up just as Stuart is walking away with Sheldon complaining that they wouldn't have been late if Penny had fixed the check engine light. That would have been hysterical, but of course we can't have Penny and Sheldon together in twenty years, that way is chaos and anarchy.

That as a tag would have been hilarious. Tptb would never do anything like that, way to far out of their comfort zone. They are more stuck in their ways than Sheldon is.

I rewatched the Sheldon/Howard/Mary storyline. I did enjoy that part of the episode. Aside from a couple lapses Sheldon was pretty in character. I have to say though that while Howard was being a good friend I miss snarky Howard. He still gets some good lines off sometimes but he has had too many of his rougher edges smoothed. It may make him more mature, but it also makes him less funny and since this is a comedy..

Lenny, well Lenny is a total BS relationship. They never talk about anything. They spend whole episodes avoiding any talk of their relationship. When things do come to a head and they end up having to talk about something, that last only as long as it takes one or the other to be distracted by shiny objects or sex. Then under the rug it goes again unresolved and ignored til next time. I get so tired of the writer showing us what a miserable couple Lenny make only to have someone from the chorus opine how great they are together. And to use Stuart of all people. Considering Leonard once did his best to sabotage Stuarts date with Penny that just seems wrong.
