Knowing (not pesonally but by show) Chuck Lorre, I am sure that is next seson's arc.

It is only onesided because at the moment Amy wants something from Sheldon that he isn't interested in providing at this time, expressly because he isn't ready.  Sure, Sheldon belittles Amy's field of research, Amy does the same to theoretical physics (do you recall the episode where they actually did break up and

I'm sure Penny did mention it to Amy…which may well answer why Amy is sticking around.  I do wonder if tonight's thwarting of Sheldon's closure was directly related to helping him gain empathy for her situation, his orgamic glee at knocking over the dominos certainly suggest he might be a little closer to

The tight white Tank Top she wore when Leonard woke her up at 6:30 wasn't enough for you?   You just weren't watching close enough.

Amy doesn't want to be treated like a princess, she wants someone with a Sheldon level intelect, his palid good looks, and his basic asexuality (let's not foget, had he been a howardesque pervert upon first meeting she wouldn't be with him now) as well as a desire for physical contact.  It is the basic problem of so

It's a my little ponie friendship is magic refernce.  When a ponie comes of age and finds their true calling in life they aquire a cutie mark which symbolizes their deeper ponie nature….I feel bad now having written that.

Actually, it wasn't that she didn't like it, she just didn't get passionate about it. She felt it was a good show, just not something that she would get over joyed about.  One thing I did find interesting here was that Penny didn't latch on to her art as an actress as something she is passionate about.  She had always

She has gone this long without coitus by choice, prior to Sheldon she had never found any person worthy of her sexual interest.  And not to put too fine a point on it, at their first meeting she insisted to Sheldon that no coitus would be involved with their meeting.   She is trying to change the rules of their

A person can mourn the loss of a famous celebrity they've never met as well.  They can mourn the loss of a television show (obviously) with real and personal emotion. They can even mourn the loss of a beloved vehicle that was there for them at important moments in their life.  However, the relationship being mourned

Of course, the image above seems to all but intentionally be referencing the Sledge Hammer Character, (the suit and choice of gun specifically) given that, to not even mention what the character given central status in the image's role is in the film seems kind of odd.  Just sayin'.

That a parent feel responsible for their child doesn't change the reality that a parent is first and foremost preparing their child for a future without them.  Very rarely do pet owners even consider this as they fully expect to outlive their pets.

The differnce between dogs and children is that dogs will be reliant upon you likely for the rest of their lives, and one hopes at least, that if one has a child, that the child will eventually acheive some form of autonomy.  At the begning the relationship is largely the same, a being capable of a wide range of

The picture is of David Rasche holding an oversized pistol, how is that not the review in it's entirety?  Sledge Hammer, we hardly knew thee.

Then all the more reason, given it's highlight, to suggest a further call back to the early episodes in the mystery of Clara.

I don't know, I kind of think the author is willfully overlooking the power of negative association with young consumers.  Sure Captain America is a drug dealer in Easy Rider (actually, you know that is a product placement fail that goes unmentioned here, and is arguably far more damaging, since Captain America is a

Not much to add in all of this, but I am very surpsised that no one caught the linguistic tick realted to the Words Monster and Companion in this episode.  Most notably at the end, when the Doctor states, with no sense of Irony what so ever, "Every Monster Needs a Companion".  You also have the Doctor refering to Ms.

So, I don't know if it was a McGuffin or not, but I get the feeling that Clara will tie back to Susan once this is all said and done.  Aside from the fact that Clara's dad has the second doctor's exact haircut (what was up with that) the Doctor bringing up his Grand Daughter so off handedly seems to be lampshading it

I can't imagine that it would cause problems for Lip at MIT, it will likely result in a less than honorable discharge for Ian, but even that might be up in the air, if he does turn 18 prior to them finding out, or if he gets a paraental waiver.  I was actually al ittle shocked by the 18 year old rule, I had thought

I think I am just too damn cynical, when the shaving first started, part of me thought this was some kind of revenge thing by Carl for finnally realizing he didn't have cancer earlier.  I also wasn't sure if Frank was walking back to his family, or just walking out to find some whiskey (or maybe just to die on his own

Such a wonderful episode, with just enough knife twisting to make us really uncomfortable.  Was Fiona's Boss's new found jerkiness the result of his aborted attempt at sex, and a hope to push her out the door and away from any potential lawsuits?  Or was he just being honest about the no experience, no job reality
