A discussion thread for The Big Bang Theory star Melissa Rauch.

A thread for discussion about the character of Bernadette Rostenkowski.

This thread is for discussions about Howardette and Rajily. I felt it was needed. Is Remily or Rajily most used by fans? LOL. I would always just use the first one out of habit but I like the second one better so that's the one I put in the title of this thread. Anyway... My random thoughts at the moment: *I think we're definitely going to see Stuarts old room turned into a nursery. I'm usually among the majority that doesn't want to see a baby on the show but I think about it now and it would be so adorable to see a pregnant Bernadette. It's not like the baby has to be seen all the time after it's born. Besides, I posted in the Shamy thread that I guessed the baby would come mid to end of season 10 anyway. Lots of fun story lines can be written before and/or after the baby arrives with all the characters involved. *Raj and Emily. I hope this whole thing gets addressed soon. I love the uniqueness of "scary" Emily but I feel I barely know who she is! So much so that I actually got annoyed when I read the last taping report that she didn't want to forgive Sheldon after he apologized during his apology tour. I thought, "Really?? Who are you, anyway? You've been here for all of 1 and a half minutes and you're not allowed to not forgive him. (purposely exaggerated of course)" LOL! The thing with her and Penny hating each other was brushed under the rug as well as the even bigger issue of Raj considering breaking up with her at the end of last season. I hope we get more information on at least the second one because I'd like to know more about how Raj is feeling and why he felt that way when things seemed to be going well between them. Well....I guess it was kind of hinted that she scared him a little...well, maybe more than a little considering he didn't have the heart to break up with her. ....and I'll leave it at this for now. Who ever wants to join in at any time.... Just watched this on YouTube...yeah, I really dig Emily more than I thought actually. LOL.

This has been puzzling me for a while, ever since I became involved with this fandom, I always wondered, does it have a name? what to we call ourselves as a group or individual fans? I always Imagined us being called "Bazinga Geeks" or "Bazinga Nerds" or "Sheldon Cooper's C-men" what kind of name are we known as? It would be fun Wouldn't it!

I'm a Shamy fan, but I really can't believe there's no Howard and Bernadette Thread at all! After episode 6, there should definitely be one!!! I mean you guys gotta admit, that song was the sweetest thing ever!!! Here's the lyrics: http://popwatch.ew.com/2013/10/25/big-bang-theory-howard-song-lyrics/

With all the Amy x Howard talks in the forum, I briefly thought about what if Sheldon matched up with Bernie. When I went to bed I ended up dreaming about it. The dream went like this: The four guys were drunk and shirtless. They tried to squeeze together in one bed trying to sleep while talking to each other. Then Sheldon confessed that back then, I think he said college, he had met Bernie and they slept together. (which doesn't make sense since Sheldon is really young when he went to college and couldn't have met Bernie) And then Howard looked at him in shock. And it kind of became clear to them why Bernie and Sheldon don't talk too much. I was so frickin' happy when I woke up and it wasn't real. I soooo cannot forgive the writers if they do that for realz. I can't believe I celebrated my 100th post with this nightmare... LOL EDIT: I was not expecting a lot of people to respond and I didn't know other people had wacky dreams too. If any more of you guys have crazy TBBT dreams, feel free to share~!

I can imagine thousands of hilarious scenarios involving TBBT characters and volunteering gone awry. Sheldon, Leonard, Howard, Raj, Amy, Bernadette, and/or Penny should be shown volunteering somewhere. At least 1 out of 7 people I know in real life volunteer 4 or more hours per month at a hospital, hospice, food bank, Habitat for Humanity, Peace Corps, Big Brothers Big Sisters, or somewhere. I'd expect to see at least 1 out of the 7 main characters in TBBT do some volunteering. [edit Oct28: The question/topic is flawed. Bernadette has mentioned volunteering, but we haven't actually seen it in an episode] [edit Oct28: Sursonica reminded us that Bernadette has mentioned volunteering (Season 5, Episode 11, The Speckerman Recurrence). I had forgotten about that. In the middle of the episode Bernadette says, "Every other week I serve at a soup kitchen downtown". At the very end of the episode, Bernadette steals a pair of boots from a charity clothing bin and yells to Penny and Amy: "It's ok. I serve soup to poor people!"]

Over the last two years, I had noticed a change in popularity of the characters, particularly Sheldon. There was a time, when he could do no wrong but now there seems to be complaints. This newer Sheldon is not quite as popular. And since some people want proof if you voice an opinion now, I have attempted to get what little I can. There is a poll on the main site which asks casual visitors (you don't have to be a member) who their favourite character is. Lucky for me, the infamous Tripper archived the old poll, when he updated the site. Which presents an opportunity to compare old and new statistics. Of course, the new poll doesn't have as many votes at 28,698 to 90,031, but the percentages are what counts. The old poll was archived in Sept 2012. The new poll was started from then. I rounded the figures. Sheldon from 66% to 49% (26% down) Penny from 12% to 20% (40% up) Leonard from 10% to 16% (38% up) Raj from 6% to 5% (17% down) Howard from 6% to 4% (33% down) Amy coming in at 4% (new) Bernadette coming in a 2% (new) Stuart coming in at 1% (new) The old poll did not include the new characters but as they are only taking up 7% of the vote, this doesn't account for the big shifts. Penny's popularity as favourite character has gone up the most, with 19.5% of the vote, rounded up to 20%. Closely followed by Leonard. Sheldon, Howard and Raj have taken the biggest hits. Sheldon is still the most popular at 49% but he used to hold a massive 66% of the vote. So yes, I was right in sensing a drop. I will compare this again next year and see how these figures are moving. Another interesting thing to note (which I suspected) was the even bigger drop, in those who chose Howard as their favourite.

What does Sheldon Cooper think about Rajesh Koothrappali and Bernadette Rostenkowski in terms of intelligence? I remember Sheldon noticing that Bernadette understood what he did (his work), but does that mean he thinks she's smart? With Raj talking more freely, giving our Shelly more to judge him about, I need to know, was this addressed in an episode? (Does anybody know/Has anybody watched an episode where S's opinion of Raj's intelligence was addressed?)

Imagine this scenario: Bernadette Likes Raj (Supposition) Raj Likes Bernadette (He confessed this in Season 5) Raj Likes Howard (He does, many of his actions and statements prove it) Howard Likes Raj (He does, his actions prove it but he isn't able to show) Bernadette Likes Howard (She obviously does, he's her husband) Howard Likes Bernadette (He obviously does, she's his wife) This would be REALLY messed up, the three of them fighting for each other with multiple emotions What say?
