I agree with your thoughts. Maybe theres a history here I have no clue about, but arent we all allowed to have our own opinions even when they differ? May be cliche, but it does happen in real life, it takes alot of us guys getting a wake up call to grow up sometimes. When I was married only a year I traded in my truck and brought home a BMW convertible on a whim, needless to say that was a "life experience". But hey, its was very quiet for a week! As far as the scene goes, Bernadette had a right to be upset, but she did belittle him and took it just a bit to far.

Really? Wow, this could be the beginning of the end. If you remove the Sheldon story line it was a pretty good episode, but this one made me realize that I'm not a fan of Shamy getting intimate. Im a big fan of the old, socially ackward, somewhat robotic Sheldon. Yes, its progress for the show and the character but not what I want to see. Im normally a big fan of Leonard but he seemed a bit more whiny than usual. But the Howard / Raj and Howard / Bernadette scenes were pretty great.

Merry Christmas to everyone here! Sadly I have to go into the office tomorrow but then both the wife and I are off until the 2nd, so we get some good down time, family time, etc. I wish you all the best for the season and a happy an prosperous new year. Seems like we're all stuck on this rock for a long time to come since the Mayans were wrong about the 21st! LOL!!!

Yes!!! In my opinion she is the most beautiful woman on TV currently and I think the last episode proved that. The scene's with her in that black dress were stunning, I was literally speechless (though Penny seemed a bit out of character). BTW, does anyone have anymore stills from that scene? I dont understand the talk of her not aging well or her not being thin enough? She is only what, 27? Shes still young. Friends agree that she looks better now, she looks more mature, she looks like a woman and not a girl. I have to admit Im a bit of a sucker for blondes though,I've dated mostly blondes and my wife is blonde. But blonde or not Kaley would be beautiful, she has an amazing body, is in excellent shape, beautiful / expressive face, gorgeous eyes and amazing, long hair. I dont like the rail thin model types, I believe women should have some curves. She was a stunning girl in the first season, now she is a gorgeous woman and Im sure she will continue to be for many years to come.

Yes, but she still looked great as always.

Really? This one goes near the bottom of my list. OK, to be honest if this was any generic sit-com it would've been good, but in many ways it just seemed out of character for TBBT. For the most part Sheldon has been good this season but he was a bit all over the place tonight. It had funny moments, a few touching moments and Sheldon showed he has grown but it's not up to the bar set by other episodes this season. I realize that Sheldon wasnt supposed to realize what he was doing but rubbing Vap-o-rub on her chest, bathing her and then the spanking? This was sooooo far out for the Sheldon we've come to know thus far. And Burnadette's Mom was just annoying. But a "bad" TBBT is better than a "good" episode of most other shows.

When is she not??? She seems like my ideal woman, assuming I could keep up with her! To be honest when I first heard of this I thought it sounded pretty dumb. But after watching the video's I have to give 2 thumbs up, very cool! What a job they have, looks like the most fun place to "work" ever.

This episode deserved to be the one to break the record! I hope the shows sticks around for more than 1 additional season.

Awesome episode, on e of the best IMO! It didnt feel rushed or "crammed" with to many story lines, I love the original cast back together in this one. The ILY I feel was one of the biggest moments on the show to date, we've been cheering for Leonard to earn this since season 1. The text afterwards didnt bother me at all, the scene really fit in with the tone / pace of how they've portrayed the relationship so far. When I first watched it, it took a second to sink in and then I just blurted out "hold on.... did she just...?" Amazing well acted and written scene! So far this has been an excellent season. There have been a few moments where Penny wasnt that likeable and the first few episodes seemed like more of the same but that has turned around the last few episodes. Though I do think she was pretty mena to Loenard and Amy/Bernadette regarding her class / homework. I like that they wrote Sheldon back (mostly) into his original character, but does anyone else feel he's developed a mean streak this season, especially with Leonard and Amy? Many of his lines, while funny at face value, just seem mean like there is intent to hurt and in not his usual naive / clueless way. Also Amy is an interesting character, she went from weird / creepy to likeable and now almost seems "normal" and a bit bitchy (the fun with Flags scene's). I dont know where things are headed this season, but those few issues aside this is an excellent season so far!

Overall I liked the episode. I dont think its one of the "top 10" but will be definitely one to watch in reruns / DVD. I feel that the entire cast was excellent in this episode, the acting was great! I loved that we are seeing more "geek" / physics content again! And that Sheldon is much closer to the original Sheldon than he has been in sometime. Though could this be attributed to the fact that he had no scenes with Amy this episode? I think Penny was much more like the old Penny and it was nice to not hear her whine about breaking up with Leonard or getting drunk. I think what she perceived to be going on between Leonard and Alex will help her to realize her true feelings for Leonard. If not, I hope the writes break it off for good. I have never liked the Amy character until now. In her first incarnation she was a vile, dirty and disturbing person but as the character has evolved she is actually becoming likable. I actually liked her in this episode and you can see that her and Penny are actually friends now. The scent marking thing was funny but absolutely gross and the brain jokes were good. Bernadette didnt have much in this episode, but her scenes with Howard were pretty good. For some reason I just now realized how attractive she (Melissa) really is, shes no Penny (Kaley) but still quite pretty. Anyway, the Howard in space bit is getting a bit long in the tooth now. I though Simon's portrayal of a crazy Howard was excellent especially after the other astronauts gave him a shot but its time for him to come back to earth. I just hope they give him one big, positive experience before he comes home. I also enjoyed seeing the old Raj in this episode, so funny! Everyone feels sorry for him and thinks he needs a love interest but he is so funny as the sad, pathetic and lonely Raj that the show would lose something without that. Im all for giving him someone for an episode here and there but lets not get rid of the old Raj. Leonard was great in this episode, he had some great one liners. I like what he said to Raj and his discussion or "puppets and weaponized fruit" with Penny. Though hes not the same Leonard and I'm not sure if thats on purpose? He looks a little different and the character definitely has more confidence and is almost "smooth" with the ladies now (his conversation with Alex). Off topic but does anyone know if there are talks to renew the show past the 2013-2014 season? I sure hope so!

I havent visited the site in months but now that the new season is on time to dive back in. Overall I really liked this episode. The acting was pretty much spot on, the chemistry of the girls seems to have really geled, Jim/Sheldon was great eventhough he is still the new Sheldon there were shades of the old Sheldon again and Simon/Howard's scenes have been hilarious. This is a comedy series so I try not to read to much into every little action/reaction, but I have to admit to feeling annoyed with Penny's scene talking about her feelings about Leonard. Im all for them being together and the break ups havent really bothered me until now. If they are going to end it then just end it dont insult us with this back and forth business. Ive always been a fan of Kaley/Penny partly because se is the most attractive woman on TV but also because the Penny character had a sweet innocence and a "street smarts" that is/was lacking with the guys. But they have turned her into a ***chy drunk who thinks of no one but herself. I hope they bring her character around more like she used to be. Sure everyone grows and matures and people tend to become jaded but still.... Someone earlier suggested if they breakup L/P to write Alice back in as Leonards love interest, I like that idea. She is attractive, obviously nerdy and seems intelligent. I can identify with Leonard and really want to see him happy and the charater deserves better than what they've current written for him and Penny. I thought Stewart was great in this episode, good to see him get more screen time. He wasnt whiney and pathetic like in the bachelor party episode which was nice to see. And I think him and Raj hanging out could be hilarious since Howard is now married. Im not a Wheaton fan at all so I'd be OK if he didnt return, but maybe he wouldnt be such an **s since he and Sheldon are now friends?
