7.22 The Proton Transmogrification

[Gamma]

Nice picture of Penny and all the guys with all of them excited about Star Wars Day.

It was not the most exciting episode, but it had some nice elements. The cake baking plot seemed like an afterthought. Like they have these two characters and the writers have to do something with them. I could have sworn that we already had at least one episode where the girls talked about why they got into science, or at least Bernadette had when Penny was talking to her about being passionate about something. Oh well, at least it got them away from the rest of the group.

I liked the Sheldon and Leonard interaction this episode. It came across as sincere and just nice. Sheldons reaction when Leonard hugged him seemed very true.

Penny and Leonard, for me they are either the worlds most boring pair or the poster couple for dysfunction. There is not much middle ground. This one was mostly boring, but Leonard was pushing the being a asshat line. That's him all over, he never knows when to let go.

The guys hanging out was nice. I love that Raj came up with all of those star wars themed names for his food, and Penny fighting al the way to deny that she knew what they meant.

Love Bob Newhart and his dry delivery. He and JP played really well off of each other and the scenes between them had some nice laughs. At least the poignant push in this episode was a little more understated than some of the writers past attempts.
