Review of 9.21 The Viewer Party Combustion
Well last night was the first time I sat and watched an episode of TBBT all the way through since the 200th episode. And I was pleasantly surprised!
It was the first time in a long time that it felt like a classic episode, the jokes were funny and it wasn’t too mean spirited. It was time for their Roommate Agreement Meeting, they have one every three months (I also think this was to show how much time passed between the episode when it was signed and now) of course Leonard doesn’t want to do it, but shockingly, Penny wants to, much to Leonard’s dismay. And then Travel Gavel appeared and how can you not love that crazy guy Sheldon?
Sheldon and Penny teaming up together is always awesome, especially when it’s going up against Leonard and Amy (those two are just so insecure and kind of sad and pathetic… don’t you think?) what I enjoyed is that Penny doesn’t care, she’ll go to the meeting, memorize the pledge, she doesn’t care.
This episode also proved two things: Sheldon and Penny ARE friends, if they didn’t like each other, neither would put up with each other if this wasn’t the case. Their scenes just seem more natural and flow very easily, so the Shenny in this episode was awesome. (Little parts about Sheldon asking Penny about GoT was fun… you see how easily they converse.)
It was also awesome because the main focus wasn’t the Shamy or Lenny relationships. And while they had to say it a couple times (make sure you remember that everyone is paired off) it wasn’t the main focus.
I know I’m alone in this, but I thought Raj talking about his two girlfriends was funny, he’s a dick, but it was funny. The argument in the hall when the whole gang was there, that ended with Howard boasting about getting all the spinach dip, which was funny.
I have noticed that when Sheldon isn’t the butt of the joke/prank/being kicked, they drop it all on Stuart, and I’m oddly okay with it? He’s kind of like Eeyore. They did it again here, but his bits were funny. (I even liked the need where the boys were teasing him out the window, it was kind of cute and silly because it was utter nonsense, but we got Raj, Sheldon and Leonard laughing and it was cute… rare.)
And of course the very ending! That made me really happy, that was cute and random but sweet and for a change an episode ended on a sweet note, and one a Shenny note.
All in all, this is what I want from an episode, even if Shenny were not made canon, I just want some variety. The Scavenger Hunt episode was like this, a couple others from the past seasons. But I miss this.
As a rating, I give it 4.5 out of 5 Soft Kitties.
Cheers and until next time!
