Hum. How can an episode be so boring and yet so obnoxious at the same time.
Leonard and Penny-zzzzzzz. I could certainly understand why Penny wanted to give the money back to Leonard. It was something she could do to show that she was getting back on her feet after having to rely on Leonard for so long. Of course that's guaranteed to set off Leonard's insecurity. Cue the back and forth with the money bit. Its an established storyline that these two are going to get married no matter how horrible a couple they make. These episodes that showcase either the insipidness or utter wrongness of the paring do nothing to make me want to stick around to enjoy the Lennui's march toward the alter.
Of course this week the Lennui were a lovely couple when compared to the horribleness that was Howard and Bernadette. I don't know why the writers cannot come up with "funny" material that does not make you want to punch one or more of the characters. Bernadette was awful. There was no excuse for her going off on Howard and to do it in front of others, no. As Louise has said its not like Howard makes peanuts and for her to brag about how much more she makes and just be generally obnoxious to him is not funny or entertaining. My only thought is that they were trying to make Leonard and Penny look compatible in comparison.
Sheldon confessing to Raj that he was afraid because of having to abandon string theory and start all over with dark matter and Raj encouraging Sheldon by talking about Voyager almost felt genuine. But then the rats showed up and Sheldum made a reappearance and that was that. On the plus side, Amy served no real purpose in this episode.
This season continues to be mostly very boring with increasingly unlikeable characters thrown in for good measure.
