You never know some times. I'm actually wondering how far they are going to push the mad scientist angle with Bernadette. So far we've heard her company is experimenting illegally on prisoners, and has seemingly encouraged the jumping of a deadly virus from one species to another. It seems like they are playing up

Again, amazing how the ratings only have meaning when they support your claim. The show wins its night when you adjust the ratings for shifted viewing, but that doesn't support your point of view, so you ignore it.

Yes, I get it, you don't understand that when writing about people who as a part of their job violate civil liberties, they tend to be somewhat subdued about the concept. The story is less about their cavalierness than the audiences reaction to said cavalierness.

Yes I am aware that it is an insult, My point was that the purpose of message boards (in that anything on the internet has a purpose) is to exchange ideas. The insult is effectivly a statement that the person writing it has no ideas to exchange and has no interest in the ideas offered. In short far more insulting to

not really an informative comment is it? If you didn't read…move on..

Well, in truth, if the show doesn't seem like a typical Whedon show, that might be because rather than being a show about teenagers having adventures, it is a show about adult professionals have adventures. I didn't come to this show because of Whedon's name. I enjoyed his previous works, but was never a fan boy. I

I am not quite sure how to respond to the specifics of the review, or if there is even a reason to. That the reviewer is confusing both the name of the counter organization and the type of superhuman referenced in the last scene is bothersome as these are things that are in someways important to the building of the

Maybe its just me, but I thinkt here are a lot more wheels turning in Chalky's head than Dr. Narcisis thinks, and he's a bit more ahead of the game than he's being given credit for. Just cause a man can't read doesn't mean he's stupid. And I think that's a running theme in BE. When folks think they got every

In truth I am certain the writers have put more thought into these characters than I could ever hope to. Remember you and me, we see them once a week, and enjoy their exploits. These writers live and breath these characters day in and day out for years. Even if they do see it as a job while they work on their

I can absolutely see your point in the functional marriage idea for Howard and Bernadette, and I think in many ways it is exactly that. Bernadette has found someone to boss around, and Howard has found someone to boss him around, and there are many a happy couple built of lesser foundations than that in this world.

One thing this show likes to do is have the characters realize slowly that they need to grow as people once they get out of their comfort zone. Penny came to realize she likes intelectual stimulation once she could stop seeing herself as just a prize to be won. Leonard came to realize that he couldn't just see women

With regard to the coupling on the show, there is a freudian subcurrent in that the boys, arguably either seek out their mother, or a rejection of their mother in their love lives.

Well, no, if there is an Amy Sheldon break up it is only to add turmoil that Sheldon must overcome and strengthen the bond of their relationship.

There is a counter argument which is that Sheldon has just become more and more relaxed among people, and is letting his guard down more. When we first encounter him, he has a long list of dos and don't s for survivial, that he knows others take liberties with on a regular basis.

I'm sorry, do you and your friends not mock each other lovingly? Do you never get bothered by your closest compnaions quirks and odd behaviors? Do you never make a demand of a friend (or tolerate such demands from a friend) that is outputting but worth it for the friendship?

O.k…I'll be the idiot…I love this idea, except two issues. Issue, 1) haven't they already been in a Shared Universe? Since Frankenstien and the Were Wolf meet Abott and Costello? and 2) How weird is it that Universal owns the rights to Bella Lugosi's Dracula, when he created it on stage years before he did the

This is why I've said the best finale for the show would be Penny landing a part playing an alien in a television series, where she is basically playing Sheldon. I've always envisioned an audition scene where she explains to the producers why a certain spot is her spot on the star ship and give her the part right

I really enjoyed this episode, mostly because for once, it was everyone else causing trouble for Sheldon instead of the other way around. If we think about this. Had the guys not jumped in, Sheldon would have ridden to work with Amy, she would have gone to her building, he to his. She would have had meals with her

Well, to me, the whole being pulled from the field, has to do with self doubt and fear. Her movement back into the field to me has been less about overcoming that fear and self doubt and more about her need to be in the field, as something a kin to an addiction. In essence, she wants to be in the field because that

You may well be right, that Ward and Skye were there just as much, but for what ever reason I noticed them less, which I think might just mean that the other actors are rising to their roles. Either way a good development in my mind.
