Every time it went back to them I was expecting that they would be sitting in a renewed even more uncomfortable silence. Instead it just kept building the same joke. I thought it was funny as hell.

and is a pussy.

Damn. I'm sorry. I meant Oliver Sava. I scrolled up to see who wrote the review and looked at the photo caption instead. And to show just how lazy I really am I only read as far as "Jim".

Yes! I did't watch what ever this Smash was and as soon as Joey was on screen I was wondering "where do I know this guy from?" At first I thought Dexter's little brother, not the ITK but some other little brother, but yeah, definately a Pine brother.

I agree. Joey's immediate apology really redeemed the character. Made it easy to see the 17 year old that had written Joan the letter in the first place and why even without the guilt Joan would want to help him.

Ah. I get it. The guys can look realistic but the women all have to be models.

Of the two dead mathematicians one was clean cut and one looked like the Unibomber. Seems about right to me, maybe even scewed a little to the clean cut side.

I kept expecting the smoke detectors to go off when Raj was throwing down his bombs. I really liked that both Amy and Sheldon really got into his showmanship.

Does Oliver really not know that was a Rolling Stones poster? It's only one of the most iconic images in rock music.

Did anyone else see Penny's sister on The Voice this week? Was great seeing Kelly Cuoco's reactions.

(1) I think the male term analogous to pussy would be cock. Which I don't think they would use on TBBT either.

That's understandable. If your brain gets so easily bogged down trying to understand why people like TBBT it's probably not meant for you anyway. I hear Sesame Street is doing some really good work these days.

I agree. Great episode. Even the lame ending of the game was perfectly in keeping with what Raj would do.

Maybe. Most businesses of that level would have the video feeds going directly into a DVR but with any DVR made in the last 10 years it would be accessible from their network and very likely from the internet if the owner wanted it set up that way.

Is there something about the Sherlock and Watson characters that draws greatness from the people playing them? It says something when the worst Sherlock I can think of is RDJ and that's more the fault of sticking the character in an action movie than anything he is doing wrong.

When the mugger did his little swag step going into the alley I knew he was screwed. "I don't want any trouble!"

Four? Sure you have Sherlock, Joan, Gregson, and Bell on screen, but you can always feel the weight of Clyde's personality looming in the shadows.

Ex-boyfriend, hair parted in the middle, shaking head emphatically, drinking coffee… GUILTY!

The possibility has already been brought up in past threads.

I wonder if the Dexter reference was a meta acknowledgement that Schmidt is another character who never pays the price for his own stupidity.
