and BAM! Howard Wolowitz

[ricardo shillyshally]

Going with 'persona theory'; I think main characters have numerous persona(I've got Sheldon down for six!, at least). Usually with Howard we get his fun, prankster, light side, with the desperate salacious undercurrent. Those two serious scenes allow us to see behind the mask; Howard does have feelings, he is aware of why he tries too hard, and also he does love his father(but has to show allegiance to his mother). In a way they show how the character developed in their early years(it's like retro character development). We get the same with Sheldon and Leonard. Back to his fun side Was any woman ever impressed by magic tricks?
