Yes, Sheldon is a jerk, but we know that going in, it's the old fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me idea.  And let's not forget, that to some extent Sheldon can't really help his behavior, as Bernie herself once said, when Sheldon does it, he isn't being mean it's because the part of his brain that…

Raj's story, reflected one of social awkwardness,and an inability to say what one really feels even when it is the most important thing you could ever say.

You know the scrotum joke didn't bother me, just because as Leonard says, he was illustrating a point.  The "chew toy" joke at the end kind of struck me as a last minute airball in the writers room, primarily because it just raised in my mind the question what Penny was doing with it that it would appear to have been…

Well, Sheldon's argument would be that Bernie should have expected this, since she didn't bother to clear the menu with him first.  Since everyone knows Sheldon's food nights, and that he has specific resturants where he eats on those days, it makes sense to expect Sheldon to either pick up his own food (the courteous…

It is whoever, whom is only used with an preposition such as to, for or from whomever.   So who had the idea that TBBT should have heart?  or The idea that TBBT should have heart came from whom?  Regardless, all shows need heart, without humanity there is no real show to be seen.  We only tune in to see people we care…

This was such a fantastic Howard Episode, really giving Simon the chance to show that he is a real actor beyond just being a goofy character, which is such a nice thing to see in any sitcom.

yes, but not a hollywood movie, that's my only qualm with the above article.

O.k. this is just Sloppy reporting, the original Monster Squad television show featured wax figures of monsters brought to life by computers, not the acutal monsters themselves, the film Monster Squad, teamed up a bunch of classic movie monsters, but they were the villains of the piece, not the Heroes.  In cinematic…

I think they've done a great deal with the power dynamics of late.  Both Leonard and Penny have come to a more real understanding of their relationship of late.  It wasn't really on display in last night's episode, but they barely saw each other.   Not every episode is going to give a "There" example of the curretn…

One thing that is often overlooked about the Neighbors, and what differentiates it from other Alien among us comedies (and dramas for that point) is that the Aliens are not alone, in truth the Aliens dominate their community, and it is the Human Characters who are in the unfamiliar environs and interactions.

You know I wonder why people keep approaching the Cinderella sex implication as being Bernie fullfilling Howards Fantasy, and not vice versa.  I took the scene, as Bernie getting to be Cinderlla with her prince charming, not that Howard minded the cos play, just that he was happy to fullfill her fantasy.

Getting to the Show pretty late this week, but what strikes me most about the show is that it's overall theme this week was Role Reversal.

Raj's condition Hysterical Muteness, like all Hysteria follows a rather illogical set of rules from a medical point of view, but make sense to the sufferer of the condition.  One of the main reasons that Hysteria was diagnosed a psychological and not medical condition was that soldiers suffering from it after WWI…

You should check out Blitzkrieg: Escape from stalag 69.  Well worth the nickel http://www.blitzkriegthemov…  now that film is the Salo argument for Salo.

I so want to believe this won't suck…I so want to believe this won't suck….

It has been shown that he really has no interest in anything outside of his direct interst.  As such he is routinely shown to be completly oblivious to things that should be common knowledge to others.  It is probably a streatch, but it is not outside of his pervue.  That said it is entirely possible he has heard of…

One thing I really like about Ms. Micucci's character is that (against type for her) she is not a manic pixie dream girl here.  She is a socially awkward shy counterpoint to Raj, which is exactly what he needs.  I'm glad they've opted for that kind of take on a Raj girlfriend, rather than going the manic pixie route,…

I know, I was really hoping he was going to go into the Heraldry of the State Seal, but I guess it had to be cut for time….how sad is it that I kind of now wish there was a real fun with flags pod cast out there somewhere…

Not at all, the key line is this "It is a chance to show that by surrendering to those things you have to want, despite them interfering with those things you simply want, you may find value in them that you never imagined existed. "

You know the biggest problem with Soylent Green (or Soylent Yellow or Orange, the original flavors of Soylent before the fancy new Green came on the market) was that they tasted as their names implied like Algea, Corn, and Soybeans.  But they weren't made of those things, they were made as we all now know of old…
