I love this thread. A.V. Club, please bring back community grades.

Finally! A really funny TBBT-episode! I had almost given up hope that it was possible this season. Sheldon was hilarious (epsilon…) and an ass instead of an asshole ("trembling with confidence") and his character actually evolved ("…I'm sorry…")!

The writers on this show have a tendency reveal to much of the plot by dialogue instead of action. Even compared to other cop shows (except all of the CSI crap). This episode was a good example to illustrate this. But I still liked it.

Whoa, hold on a minute here. Treme is not socially relevant? Or not poetic? And this comment got 9 likes?

Sure, the character development was a bit cheesy*, and we all know the criminal of the week thing will get old soon (I'll give it an other 2 episodes or so). But c'mon. It's only a pilot and 2 epi's in. What did you expect?

who's the clever boy?

I liked this show. It wasn't CSI, or Unforgettable. It had character. And it was good to see Bello playing a leading role instead of somebody's wife or something.

I hoped that after the mid season break this show would start tying up loose ends. But instead it's running in circles. It has a good premise though. Too bad they're screwing it up.

For the 100th episode, this was a incoherent mess. The wood joke was funny (a bit too drawn-out though), the date was funny, Bernadette and Amy were funny, but it all didn't add up to a decent episode.

Loved it 'till mid season. It started crumbling apart after episode 5. Which was unfortunate 'cause the build up to that episode was very promising. It was like a David Foster Wallace novel… Or something…

It's Nathan, isn't it? I know, I know… He's why I keep coming back as well. There's always the hope he'll make a wisecrack in Chinese.

of course he's a scared catholic. have you ever read Daredevil Visionaries?
