Couldn't watch it on CBS website, found it on youTube For those outside the US. (like me) The airdate though on the CBS website says 5th Jan. I thought it was next week on the 11th? Was I wrong? Because if I'm wrong, I don't wanna be right! :D

Yep. This is just a sitcom, and totally analysising, not matter how bored you are, is pointless!

Wait, where did I say that I was Sheldon to have sex? No no no, God, that would be so weird and the show would have to be like in it's 10th season for him to even get there! Ah maybe I am not good at expressing myself. Basically, I said that the fun part for me is to see him interact with people, and I can see him almost adapting to Penny in a way that isn't so scientific (Let's be honest, she can't understand that stuff, so he has to re-translate it for her, which is funny!) Their friendship is awesome, and because Penny is dating Leonard, they can continue that along! My own personal feelings about who should go out with whom is irrelevant. But if you ARE curious, I would like Sheldon and Penny to fall in love, at the very end. But I admit that it's foolish, hopelessly romantic and highly unlikely. So who cares?

*puts up a sarcasm sign* :D

Thanks for posting! I don't watch Family Guy anymore

I can't wait either! I am so glad to find out that Danica is going to be Raj's love interest (for awhile there I was scared they were going to push Sheldon into another pseudo relationship). I really enjoyed the Howard and Bernadette arc, so this sounds really good. Leonard being upset about Penny believing in psychics? Do you think a psychic told her that Penny and Leonard weren't meant to be? January 11th can't get here fast enough!

I agree, Sheldon IS a little lazy, and is not the pinnacle of genius, not really. He understands theory and all that existential science stuff, but at the same time he really lacks a lot of discipline and some basic physics. Don't you guys remember when he tried to "help" his other friends, and in particular Leonard who told him Shedon's imput would just blow his entire experiment, so could he just Go away please? Sheldon sees the forest, but not the individual trees. And I believe that stems from his refusal to collaborate with people, to open himself up and to really knuckle down. He's dysfunctional, hence why he is funny as hell. YES episode 10, he was a total dick, I've seen the episode a few times showing it to friends, and they all don't understand why it's so important for Sheldon to put Leonard down through Penny. Most people have a certain dynamic for friendship, they know how they would treat their friends, and Sheldon is not following that code. Why? Because Sheldon wants Penny! (kidding, he doesn't know what he wants) ... Because Sheldon is SHELDON! He's NUTS!

I think I get what you mean... Sheldon likes people around because through them he can reflect on his own genius! Brilliant! I hadn't thought of it like that. And through the constant interactions that happens, a good percentage of them Sheldon is NOT good at, like for example driving, Mandarin and putting on an item of clothes on another person! Although Sheldon is never humble, it's those things that make the show so funny. I just thought that the whole teaching Penny physics thing could have been funnier if he didn't go back to Ancient Greece all the time. Because I am still not sure what the heck they wanted to say with that...that Sheldon has a quaint side that enables him to be nostalgic over History? Even though I know he wasn't really jelous, it was fun to entertain the notion for awhile

I was watching this episode again with a friend who remarked "Why is it so important for Sheldon to prove Leonard's experiment redudant to Penny, the girlfriend?" One would think that as a friend, Sheldon would just explain the experiment the best way he could, and the comedy could have fallen on his over-explanation or Penny's shortfalling in comprehension, rather than the obvious mean tone it took. So I chose to answer that remark with "Duh, he's jealous and thus is deliberatly misinterpreting her request" Hey, not my fault the writers led me there!

Thanks for the interview! I guess it's easy to assume in simplistic terms that there is a large gap of people that want to "normalise" Sheldon by making him more "human" or "normal". I know I have said so in the past, but I think it's more than that; It's about seeing how far he experiments in trying to relate with those around him, and by exploring his motives for doing so. I want to see more of that! Because it's damn funny. It would be pretty strange if all Sheldon equaled to was Science, there has to be more there! (He isn't Vulcan, a Robot or a Pod is he?) And I think Penny is there to draw it out, to draw out the curiosity of Sheldon, and I think people sense that, and naturally become "Shenny" supporters. I don't mind Leonard dating Penny, because it gives Sheldon more of an excuse to hang out with her. And that in turn is comedy gold.

I like "cream my corn"! I thought that was pretty awesome considering she's from Nebraska, and apparently corn is a big thing there. As for big balls or holy crap...I don't know...both are just too jarring in the ear for them to be constant catch phrases. I love their use of "Wow", it's pretty colloquial and perfectly timed in every episode I've seen. Penny does that best!

Sheldon makes fun of everyone regardless, it's what he does. I actuality, him being nice would be such a paradigm shift that people's initial response would be disbelief. It's the same with Leonard. Leonard is gaining a little more confidence, so you can see him breaking out of the shell a bit, like how he stood for himself whe Howard went nutso. But that doesn't mean I laughed at his jokes. He can't really pull of the "constant narcissist drone" that Sheldon is famous for, he is NICER than that. In fact, my favorite Leonard moments is when he is smiling widely at someone elses cut down rathen than making a cut down remark himself. He's nice! I had a problem with the Shenny moments...I shrug my shoulders at the interactions. What happened to the chemistry? Too many people on the stage, it kills their vibe.

I would imagine the reason why there is a big break is that the cast and crew may want to take some time out for the Holidays, and there is nothing wrong with that. Thanks for the spoiler pics, I really love Leonard's mother, she is hysterically funny, very much looking forward to this episode!

I don't know...I felt the characters were a little disjointed in that episode. Don't get me wrong, I loved Howard in this episode but I didn't really like Leonard only because I thought his lines were a little stupid.(more so than his experiment) I don't care who ends up with whom, I just want to see Sheldon get more human or at least more relatable!

I just want to concurr with Steve, I was really looking forward to the episode but found the humour forced and recycled in parts even though it was a pretty solid episode. I have a feeling the episode itself was hard to pull off for the actors. Also it is just me or did the make up artist go a little too full on with Sheldon/Jim Parsons in this episode? And I know it's not my TV because everyone else looked fine.
