I liked it better the 2nd time. Wasn't watching as much as a shipper and it was funnier with lowered expectations. If that makes any sense. Bernie was hilarious," superfrikindipity!" Leonard was funny in his dry way - "If you want me to object to the wedding, give me one of these."Thought the Sheldon-Amy story was clever and funny.

"Now it's just edging into mockery." All the girls were into mocking their men in this episode! Not a shippers dream episode, but I know she really does love her little guy.

Love your post! And I will add I love spending a half hour with these characters that I have become so attached to even if the episode isn't the greatest. I'll have repeats on when I'm doing other things just to have them around and usually get sucked into the story even though I've seen it 10 times already.

Really? Spill.

Glad you're back

Leonard has a bit of a history for some cringe worthy public speaking debacles . When he spoke to the high school girls to encourage them to pursue careers in science he got all morose about his awful childhood. Same thing when he introduced Sheldon at the awards ceremony. It's like he represses some of his bad memories. When he starts talking a memory is triggered and, bam, off he goes on a tangent. This seemed to happen in his radio interview. All of a sudden he realized that nor much had been happening in physics and he was off to the races. Clearly, he should have prepared his comments and stuck with his script, but then there wouldn't have been a story! My favorite scene of him speaking to a group was when he addressed the graduating class from his high school. It was from the heart and very touching. So, he comes across as a cry baby sometimes, but I still love him! And so does Penny. I think she was pretty sweet and did try to help him.

Happy Island Life!

I've been mulling over Holland's comment that Lenny are "happy and comfortable". Does that mean that we read too much into last season's hints that they might not be so happy and comfortable, to the point that some thought a break-up was possible? Were they really trying to just show a couple adjusting to the normal issues of newlywed life as they often claimed? Did they really not see how harsh a light they too often shined on the relationship? If they have adjusted course and are righting the Lenny ship then YEAH. Time will tell. I did get a "happy and comfortable vibe from this episode.

I do love the hand kissing!

I thought Lenny were cute tonight. It made me happy seeing them together and having them back!

I, for one, can't wait!!!!

Is Johnny standing on a pillow???

Awfully cute!

So fr, it sounds like Penny and Leonard aren't fighting in the new episodes. Maybe we were heard. I hope it's a good sign for future Lenny episodes.

I agree with everyone. A big part of the Lenny relationship has always been about their physical attraction to each other. The dance between 4A and 4B , for me, has been great to behold. I miss seeing evidence of that strong attraction. I've never seen it as one-sided either. Penny is into Leonard big time, contrary to some of her jokes. But I've always known that the relationship is so much more than sex. Never doubted that in spite of the Nerd gets the Hot Girl jokes which the writers are so attached to. Through the years Penny and Leonard have developed a strong friendship, whether they were a couple or not. . They care about each other, help each other, comfort each other, and share a full life together, alone and with their friends. Having the chance to see all the facets of this relationship would be wonderful- the love, the friendship, the teasing, the fighting, the caring and sharing, the ups and the downs. There's so much more the writers can explore. Sounds like they've taken a look at a few things so far in the new season. More please.
