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.
