Wasn't as funny as I expected; I think I laughed once when bernedatte yelled at howard at the wedding. But upon watching it a second time, I think the episode was okay, but two things definitely stood out to me. It occurred to me that if Penny's brother was cast with someone else, perhaps a dude with tattoos and a sullen face that grunted when he talked, that the lines would have been funny. The guy they cast for her brother could not act at all (it wasn't just the way he looked). The second thing was the wedding and the interaction with leonard and penny. After all this time, this was the moment we've been waiting for and I feel they blew it like they did with the first wedding. Penny's part was okay but didn't feel as genuine as it should. And I wish Leonard had said something more. The feeling just wasn't there, like it was for Howard and Bernadette. My two cents.

Wow i'm surprised that most of you liked this one. It was cringe-worthy in my opinion. The rabbit in the hot tub was just an odd storyline to me. And don't get me started on the ending with penny and leonard in those horrid costumes. Was that supposed to be believable? There's funny and then there's stupid. Was the confetto thing at the end supposed to be some sort of joke that I didn't get? I've watched it twice and I'm still wondering what they were thinking with this one. :/

It was amazing and funny at the same time. I think it was genius to combine this moment with the Star Wars movie. I loved that they kept Sheldon just like himself and Mayim's acting was awesome. I'm kind of sorry that it's over, but now look forward to more moments with shamy as the intimacy evolves. I'd like to see Sheldon show more of his feelings about it in the future (I understand that they needed the comedy for the ending of the show. Hopefully we will get to get more inside of Sheldon's head about this later on, we will see). I get what you mean. i always pictured Sheldon being overwhelmed by it, out of breath, amazed, etc., so he was way too calm in this for me. Maybe the point was that after being visited by proton he was in control of his emotions, anxiety, etc. But it still seemed off. Maybe we will get it later on, but I think they made him that way for the contrast with Amy and the comedy factor of it. But they still could have made it funny the other way too.

They did an excellent job with this episode. When you're laughing and smiling from ear to ear by the end, you know the writers did something right. I loved seeing crazy Sheldon again. One thing I found interesting about this episode was the contrast between the Sheldon reverted (how he used to be, bat crap crazy) to Sheldon becoming the softer Sheldon again at the end. It was a great contrast to show how Amy how affected him, which I think was the point of the whole thing. Am I the only one that thought the tune he hummed didn't match the song when they played it? Lol. I really liked seeing Leonard, Penny, and Sheldon eating dinner together. I didn't think they would keep Sheldon in the mix once they got married, but it seems to make sense now. Did everyone notice how nervous and shy Sheldon looked before the first kiss? Like Dave being there was bothering him, or like it had been too long and he was nervous about the kissing. I'm looking forward to next week. In the preview, one of the scenes showed Sheldon on his knees in a praying position. This should be a hum-dinger of an episode. I hope the writers do it justice like they did this week. Are there any big Shamy fans out there that think the opening scene had a deeper meaning, LOL. Probably reading too much into it.

I haven't posted here in a really long time, but I wanted to say that after reading the taping reports for the next two episodes, I'm very satisfied and happy with how the writers handled everything that is coming (finally). It would have been nice to see more of Amy's side and her feelings during the breakup, but other than that, I feel they've handled it well. It's been soooo long since I've read a big bang theory taping report. After so many years of waiting, it almost seems unreal.

Ugh, I came here to see if there would be a new episode tonight. I'm dying. I can't wait another week for this episode.

Just watched the episode again and i think there may have been some meaning with the hagfish game. Amy said it was like friend, marry, kill (if I remember correctly) and Sheldon said he would get to eat the fish instead of marry. He chose the hagfish to eat even though there was mucus, then at the very end if the episode, he changed his mind about the hagfish right after he turned Amy down. Does anyone else there was meaning behind this, symbolism, maybe?

After watching this episode, I realized that it's been way too long since we've seen shamy together like this, playing games and interacting like they used to. I enjoyed seeing them together, even though it had the undertone of sadness. Please bring back shamy of season 4 and 5, writers. I miss it so much. I see now why they gave away the spoiler about coitus, they wanted to keep our hopes up and keep watching.

I'm looking forward to this episode. A while back, Mayim posted on facebook about an episode with a lot of Shamy goodness and I have a feeling it was this one. Anyway, we will see.

Wow calm down. My point was that she has shown for season after season that her character understood Sheldon more than anyone else. I think a normal girl would indeed get mad and breakup over his comments but Amy is not supposed to be normal. My point was that they should have made something more significant happen for her to make this decision since it seemed to just come out of the blue based on the happy episodes that came before it.

Hilarious episode. Loved it Things still feel off though with Amy's character. She's just too normal now and I still wish they would concentrate an episode on her so that I can understand her feelings behind the breakup.

I'm looking forward to seeing Sheldon struggling to suppress his emotions! This one should be good.

I thought this one was very funny. It felt like one of the older episodes to me.

The episode was OK to me. The going back to 2003 thing was clever and very Sheldon. But it made no sense for Amy to turn down Sheldon's roommate offer given her history and that it was a huge step for Sheldon to offer it. They really need to address this plot hole in a future episode ( why did Amy break up with him when it completely contradicts her current character traits). We need a better reason than what was given to us. I was struck in this episode with how much the couch area in the new comic store reminds me of Friends and we had singing too with this one... It was just something that struck me. I kind of miss the old flipping through comics scenes.

It would be very interesting to see Sheldon with his brother. He was another male influence in his life besides his father and Leanard. They should do an episode with his visit.
