Because Gripe loathes Season 5 (and loathes may be too pallid a word here), I've been handed the dubious honor of setting up the Noteworthy Episodes Poll. So here 'tis in all its Bugs, Birds and Bongos glory, the bugs belonging to the relationship beta-testing species. Remember?
OH PLEASE...

I've done my duty and chosen THREE episodes (Infestation, Rocket, Good Guy)....I think I deserve several Grasshoppers for this....preferably all at once.

We CAN make you choose you know...
This is a trifle more violent than I'd intended for what is, doubtless, your morning over there. I went looking for one of Vyvan writhing about on the floor screaming that his brain's exploded...but happened on the above instead.
I also found Rick "dancing" and Putin riding a giant biscuit.

"Putin riding a biscuit" is one of the greatest things I've ever seen. (I'm quite easily pleased when it comes to photoshop)

My main objection to this season was that I felt it was the ''make the views hate Penny" season. She was on a downward spiral in this season with the Premiere starting off with penny drunk and fooling around with Raj.
It's also when I recognized a definite change with the way Sheldon was written.
Oh and Shamy
