On the positive, Penny and Sheldon's scene wasn't the total disaster I was expecting from the TR, Yes, she gave him horrible advise by comparing his relationship to String Theory to her boyfriend relationships, but it was in the spirit of old Penny and I have to admit laughing really hard and long at Sheldon's "Shake hands, say good bye" in regards to having her take her own advise. I wish this scene could have gone on longer since they obviously had time considering the Tag. I also thought she also gave him the best advise telling him instead of forcing himself to find a new thing to study, to take a step back and let it find him (hopefully after a brief breather he'll rediscover his love of Sting Theory)
Also, Sheldon's story about the ring to Howard was really touching and even though they again had to make sure it ended with a joke, it was very Sheldon.
Now the things that could have been better:
Clogzilla- I thought it was a funny story (like Bernie's last week) cause you could see it happening to a person, and it was written better then the crapfest they ended up turning last weeks scene into, but I can't help feel it went a little longer then it needed.
Sheldon - It saddens me that not one of the people he considers friends (that are Scientists) especially his girlfriend, had his back at all.
Why was Sheldon confused that Amy wasn't there the next morning (does she sleep over on the couch a lot, or a God forbid, do they sleep together?) the line didn't make any sense.
His drinking is also starting to get out of hand if he truly "drank" as much as Penny. Where the hell was Amy? Why would she let him drink that much? It's almost like they planned to have her stay with him (see above line rant) and then chickened out since they know that Sheldon waking up to a Geometry book= funny, but Sheldon waking up to an equally naked Amy who was in no way shape or form drunk the night before= non consensual sex.
The Tag- God that thing went forever, and ever, and ever, and ever, and ever..........
Because this episode had little to no Shamy/Lenny relationship crap and the Shenny scene was ALMOST vintage, I give this episode 1 and a half Penny Blossoms.
