Story by : Bill Prady


Teleplay by : Dave Goetsch & Steven Molaro



"Penny opens up to a reluctant Sheldon after a less-than-stellar first date with Leonard, placing him in the uncomfortable position of having to keep a secret."





Why the show used to be amazing... interaction between Sheldon and Penny.  Regardless of the fact they are talking about Leonard.

And this...





And why Sheldon SHOULD have stayed Sheldon.

Here’s my top picks from Nerdvana Season Two:

1. Worst Renaissance Fair ever
"That was not fifteenth century soap, my God those people need to learn you can’t just put “ye olde” in front of anything and expect to get away with it." - Sheldon






2. Getting funky
The guys just doing what they do, mucking about and having fun. Raj pours white liquid into the main dish of a stereo speaker covered in cling film.






3. Penny becomes a nerd
This has to be one of, if not the best Penny episode ever because its about her as a person and not just her as a romantic prop. Here she becomes addicted to Conan the Barbarian and forms a new connection to Sheldon. This was never repeated, sadly. “Like if Hulk were dating Peppermint Patty”









4. Klingon Boggle
Another fabulously nerdy opening scene. The guys speaking Klingon, something we don't see anymore.






4. Sheldon gets his L plates!
There’s nothing like Sheldon meeting outsiders and in the early years his pure brilliance via the everyday, set this show apart. The interaction with the DMV lady is incredible and I also love Sheldon’s response to Penny’s question “why didn’t you just get a license at 16 like everybody else?” WOW!





5. Rock, paper, scissors, lizard, spock
Decision making in 4A and probably one of the most famous nerd scenes. One of Sheldon’s best monologues. Priceless.






6. Mars Rover, come on over!
Howard gets the Rover stuck in a ditch trying to impress a girl. So good! Howard later finds out his mistake causes them to discover water on Mars. “It’s unclear how the Mars Rover got into the crevice, but one thing’s certain, the data which it has sent back contain the first clear indications that there may have been life on Mars. It’s a scientific discovery that has staggering implications for all mankind. Unfortunately, we’ll never know who’s responsible.”






7. Die Toaster Die!
Ever bit of The Killer Robot Instability is nerdtastic, but the opening scene kills it. Awesome!!!
Best quote - “Featuring one articulated razor-sharp killing saw, one polycarbonate grinding and flipping wheel, steel armour plate exoskeleton top and bottom, and enough horsepower to drive a 110 pounds of mechanized death from zero to holy crap in 4.8 seconds.” - Howard






8. Unreal friendship
Sheldon creates an algorithm for making friends, and takes it to extreme lenghts.
“A loop counter? And an escape to the least objectionable activity! Howard, that’s brilliant! I’m surprised you saw that.”






9. Movie madness
The guys use their mathematical minds to try to solve an everday problem. So funny.
“I don’t see a Sheldon-approved restaurant proximate to a Sheldon-approved theatre.”






10. Rockband
Raj squawking along to Rockband is both excuriating and all too realistic.
Howard: Penny, come on, we were just finding our sound.
Penny: You found it. It’s the sound of a cat being run over by a lawn mower.






11. Paintball traitors
With added Lesley, the only nerd girl the show featured in more than one episode. The team take on the other departments at Caltech.






12. Secret Agent Laser Obstacle Chess
I just love this, funny, daft and clever! The guys creativity and smarts made them so unique on a sitcom.

This is a desert island with a DVD player built out of coconuts, played back on a poisonous land crab, and powered by despair.  

After much rending of garments and gnashing of teeth (or vice versa) I have chosen;

S1
The Luminous Fish Effect
The Jerusalem Duality
The Nerdvana Annihilation
S2
The Barbarian Sublimation
The Panty Piñata Polarization
The Friendship Algorithm
The Vegas Renormalization
S3
The Adhesive Duck Deficiency
The Einstein Approximation
The Pants Alternative

Emergency Horses;
Cooper-Hofstadter Polarization, Euclid Alternative, Creepy Candy Coating, Apology Insufficiency, Thespian Catalyst

Your turn. It's very hard to whittle the bastards down...

This thread will eventually have pictures and whathaveyou. But not tonight it won’t.


(I don't know why I've put this here. Does everything need a reason? We can debate this later, if anyone wishes...)]]>

Personally I nearly burst into tears trying to choose favourites from this list, so to spare everyone wibblyness and/or nervous collapse, you are permitted to choose 8 from Season 2 (& 3)

I have linked me own choices here to the pages we made for them on the HQ Main Site. This is called "being helpful" and is in no way an attempt to alter your opinions like last time. Or the time before. This is NEW.
And "helpful".
*cough* These ones are good *cough*

The Barbarian Sublimation
The Euclid Alternative
The Cooper-Nowitzki Theorem
The Panty Pinata Polarization
The White Asparagus Triangulation
The Bath Item Gift Hypothesis
The Friendship Algorithm
The Vegas Renormalization]]>
