The opening with S/P/L was almost vintage. The snark, the pacing, (Kaley trying not to smile at Jim's lines)... Almost brings me back to season 2. The Asian Fusion dinner scene with Shenny was funny and again, almost perfection, and Howard and Raj having scenes between just the two of them is always a good thing. Unfortunately, for me the bad from this episode took everything good and drowned it in a big old tub of toxic waste. Here are what I consider the major flubs of tonight's episode
1. B/AFF/L- not one of these three idiots had a single thing to say to Sheldon when he was trying to decide if he should give up on String Theory, but now they have LOTS to say about his whining about what to choose next. Likewise these three all pushed Penny to take this job as an actress (even though she said it was a terrible job), but now they don't want to hear her complain about it? Gee so sorry guys, maybe if you were better friends to begin with and I don't know, maybe actually supported them when they needed it, you wouldn't have to hear them complain now.
2. Leonard the good guy- So Bernadette and Amy think that Leonard is completely honest in the relationship? What a complete joke! There has been years of canon to support (including his own statements) that Leonard will say anything to get sex from Penny and honesty be damned. That they tried to play this card was just another way this episode tried to tell us how to feel instead of actually writing a good episode, or hell even a scene and showing us. And speaking of this habit...
3. The physic- having them basically say that all Sheldon's problems will be solved if he would just fuck Amy, goes against every fiber of my being. (Although Sheldon's first thought that Penny's hair was originally dark was interesting). This isn't funny, it's not some focus of the comedic lens about the absurdity of certain relationships! It's just an idiotic statement that a person can "fix" you if you would just love them. It's a 12 year old girls philosophy that school won't suck anymore, you're mom will get off the booze, and your father will stop banging the babysitter if the guy you "love" would just love you back.
4. Emily- I had such hopes for her but between "I was a Nanny, so I can change your diaper if you get scared" and her being turned on by a guy killing his girlfriends father, cutting off his face and then wearing it while he makes out with the girl, I realized that if she sticks around she'll just end up another woman fatality in TBBT world. We have the drunk loser (Penny), the shrew (Bernadette), the manipulative bitch (Amy), and now we get the psychotic bitch. Oh boy!
