Wishful Thinking...

JESUS CHRIST I NEED TO WATCH THAT DREAM EPISODE AGAIN. I discovered 3rd Rock after TBBT. (Thank you mam for mentioning Sally's sneeze. I knew I'd love it from watching that scene alone.) TBBT should have been about the alien(ha!)ation and confusion we've all felt when plunged into unfamiliar circumstances, like another planet, in the case of 3rd Rock, or the apartment of a load of partying people who you've never met. (TBBT) DISCOVERY, PEOPLE. It's a perfect foundation for comedy! They're scientists, for fuck sake. It was like that to begin with as it was about the guys deciphering Penny, and Penny deciphering the guys. All 6 seasons of 3rd rock serve as comprehensive EVIDENCE that a character like Sheldon, Dick, Abed or any otherworldly observer of human interaction can remain lovable and sympathetic. There was absolutely NO NEED for them to do what they did to Sheldon.
