I swear that woman has a clause in her contract that requires her to appear in a busty night gown every other episode. I'm not complaining, I'm just putting it out there…

I'll say it: Community is a far better show than this one, but with the shaky scheduling, the will-it-won't-it-be-canceled drama, the public fights between cast and crew, TWDW's master theses of reviews and the literal thousands of comments that follow them, it's become stressful keeping up with that show.

I thought that any time he opens his mouth is sort of a joke about his speech impediment, given that the writers are so pleased to hear him pronounce the word "lingerie" and whatnot. If they toned it down a bit and defined him more by other traits (trash talking physicist rival with a slight gambling problem), it…

Never apologize for breaking down a joke. Explaining them is one thing, but analyzing what did and didn't work and why is the reason I frequent sites like this. So cheers, Myles. And dammit, that was easily the line of the night.

Really hate that he was so consciously smug about not purchasing an action figure. One that he totally would have bought had his girlfriend not mocked him.

I only wish we could have seen Sheldon have that conversation with Amy instead. Would she have been irked that he was lying about sleeping with her to get an annoying coworker off his back? Would she have offered to make an honest man out of him?

I remember liking Movie Bob until I watched his video on Metroid Other M. The condescending tone he took and the manifold strawmen he was furiously establishing to try to get a point across just made me hate him.

One writer's views have to coincide with the advertisements of the website he writes for, the placement of which he likely has no direct control over?

I really do like that they tried to show the women embracing one element of geek culture, I just wished they went with a less superficial one.

"Then how come the sun comes up every day?"

My usual metric for BBT episodes is "How implausible is it that these people would stick around with Sheldon Cooper?", and it's nice to be reminded occasionally how much of a lost child he is outside the world of physics and geek culture. He even deferred to Leonard's leadership because he was dressed as Picard! The…

I really had half a mind to look that up. Thank you stranger.

Oh the sleep I lost trying to decipher "Aquariumey Theradiowaves".

Let's please, please not equate being an oblivious ass-hat with being an alpha who "doesn't put up with people's shit".

Thanks for articulating that. I would have tried to express that sentiment myself if it weren't only the tenth most aggravating thing about last episode.

True. And it's not like Sheldon regained his job by showing contrition; his mother stepped in to save him.

That makes sense in the short term. But I think most of the complaints are not "that schtick is old" but more "that schtick is getting in the way of untold character development/interactions".

Do you hear that? The sound of so many usernames being created?

I think what bothered me most this episode is that two (non-lead) characters acted liked believable human beings but the series' continued well-being depends on them NOT acting like realistic human beings.

Late to the party, but I must say, this the only show I know that would have to reschedule its CHRISTMAS EPISODE out of respect for the victims of such a horrible tragedy. Part of the appeal, really.
