7.14 The Convention Conundrum

[Nutz]

I really liked the opening scene. That's as close to vintage TBBT as they ever get anymore.
The guy's scenes were pretty good.
The girl's scene was horrendous. Had to throw in the 1000th poor-sex-starved-Amy line. Bernadette gives Howard an allowance? That's the second time they've implied that they're living off her income. Don't you think Howard's income is enough to afford a ticket to a comic book convention? They're really overdoing the Bernadette-is-Howard's-mother bit.

I agree. It was as close to vintage as we've seen in a while. But the girls' scenes...Ugh. I am so sick of the Howard-married-his-mother trope. Bernadette used to be nothing like his mother. Now...not so much.

Doesn't it seem that anymore when it's just the girls together they try to make Penny look really bad? Not just the drunk jokes or the stupid jokes, but physically less put together. When they were princesses she was a messy sleeping beauty, the episode where she munching on chips and looking grumpy, this one and several others. Apparently it's not enough to just make her look like a loser when compared to the other two, they have to bring her down a little more. I really hate the girls only scenes anymore, it's like a group of bitchy high school girls.

So true. I really hope Kaley gets a HUGE raise on her next contract for dealing with this assassination of the character she helped create.
