7.14 The Convention Conundrum

[Trust No One]

Okay, I thought James Earl Jones did a good job, but the rest of it was kind of a mess.

That whole thing with the girls was stupid. I don't understand who the writers are aiming this stuff at. The three of them sounded like a group of tween girls discussing what they think it means to be a adult, while being firmly mired in adolescence by giving a dam about it in the first place. Writers, being an adult does not mean giving up what you enjoy, pfft.

As for the guys, boring, boring, boring. I think they need some new blood in the writers room. They don't have to worry about new writers getting the characterization right because the old writers seem totally unconcerned with characterization.






Just because I needed a glimpse of non-toddler Sheldon.

Could not agree more. The guys afraid to open a door? I can see why Bernadette and Penny are soo into Howard and Leonard. The girls just hanging out together was another epic fail IMO.

It was a lot better than I initially thought. I didn't find anything remotely amusing when I read the taping reports, but seeing it in action, I giggled quite a few times during the James Earl Jones and the L/H/R scenes. I felt vindicated that for once Sheldon wasn't given a restraining order on a celebrity, and that the other three guys actually ended up looking like morons for a change. It was reminiscent of earlier seasons, and seeing Sheldon so happy just warmed my heart. I could've done without the girls' tea party. It was superfluous. Do we really need to shoehorn in Bernadette and Amy into every episode? Gah.

Oh, the credits now read, "Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting." I totally squealed and said "aaaaaaaawwww."

A big Amen especially for the Amy and Berndatte comment and no restraining order for Sheldon.

Much like the rest of us

I actually want to see a whole new set of writers. There could at least be a chance there of some change in operation, providing the writers are from an intelligent show. Like 2 Broke Girls. HAHAHAHA. No. But at least 2 Broke Girls knows how campy and corny it is. (I don't mind it at all because of this.)

Honestly, TBBT died 3 seasons ago. Now they've attached strings to the limbs of the corpse and occasionally putting it in the fridge to keep using it. I don't like to say a show has "died" when it's just stopped being made, but TBBT literally walks around with a dead brain and no pulse.

Dead show walking seems about right.
