"really, they never confronted the whole Leonard cheating thing. They’re supposed to be growing and engaging with one another, and yet the show continues to treat them like nothing more than roommates (and sometimes not even that!)."

So why are nerds/geeks above being mocked?

FYI the joke sucked.

Then as you wish, remain ignorant.

Yeah unlike you and other thin skinned viewers I'm not insecure about how people view nerds/geeks based on this show. This show laughs at its nerds/geeks as much as its muscleheads/airheads. It's taken shots at all different types of characters. I've seen zero evidence that the nerds/geeks have been laughed at…

You need to learn more about asexual, demisexuals, etc. if you thought it wasn't possible for healthy males to not have interest in sex.

One time does not a sex life make.

Based on what? them not reminding you every episode Mary appears in. Please.

I can't take all the credit, you supplied the BS after all.

As Jon Stewart said in his final daily show telecast: "The best defense against bullshit is vigilance, so if you smell something, say something.”

I'd buy that IF his reviews last season didn't reflect that.

"No matter what happened in this episode, it will be completely forgotten by next week."

"However, I would think there will need to be more substantive issues to be dealt with in terms of the house. Will Howard and Bernadette move in? Will the house be sold?"

You mean midichlorians? :P

"The idea consistently peddled by the show is that guys like Sheldon and Leonard do what they do because they struggled do the stuff that really matters . . . like date and be popular. And that the objectively trivial stuff is what really matters. "

No its not a soft reset, because the tube has been opened. And there's no un opening it. Just because shamy had sex ONE TIME doesn't mean it's going to be a regular thing between them right away. No promise was made that they would do it regularly, after one time.

After Sheldon caught her having intercourse in season 7 she doesn't have room to talk.

Just like it was when Sheldon up and left in season 7 without consoling her.

Why? Because the character development boogie man reared its ugly head?

So, you are the one who went out of their way to respond to me, NOT with a request to back up my claim the 1st time; but with a claim that aims to invalidate mine. If you had asked me to back up my claim the first time BEFORE ME, I would've done so. But you didn't.
