In this thread I'm going to post my opinions on some of the episodes. One episode per post ( a post which is not a reply to my posts ). I tried posting on those episode threads but they were not getting any attention , so I thought of making a new thread The first one that comes to my mind is The Agreement Dissection I found this episode as fascinating as Sheldon found Amy's kiss It was really an excellent episode until the last moments.... Priya was set up as likable,sweet person in the opening scenes... as she was happy with Sheldon peeing...she helps her boyfriend by disarming the Roommate agreement in a friendly way....an act which even Penny rarely does.....as the writers clearly love to shower her sympathy and affection on Sheldon(undeserving at times) but rarely on Leonard Ok , so all that leads to Sheldon going to girls night... Sheldon in new situations is always a great fodder for comedy as he is the one who is reacting to others actions.... when others react to Sheldon's actions he comes across as annoying and the jokes are always the same(that he is crazy)......but here he is much more funnier and not even a little bit annoying and the Amy Sheldon stuff in her apartment was pretty good... his reaction to her kiss... showing us little hints of where this relationship would go.... Now comes the ending scene... where Sheldon delivers the final blow by telling Priya that she may have studied at Cambridge but he studied at Starfleet Academy.... The audience cheer as he marches off to his room feeling triumphant... So what exactly is wrong with this??? Sheldon is'nt the hero of this story....he is the selfish guy who would rather ruin someone else's (in this case his best friend's) relationship rather than live with a few inconveniences.....he clearly admits to Leonard that his own happiness is more than important than anything else........he essentially tries to ruin Leonard's relationship so he could eat and pee what and when he likes with a MEAN, COWARDLY , SELFISH, CRUEL ACT......Basically it was the act of a BAD GUY And in the final scene where Sheldon skypes and makes up with Amy , he acts as if Leonard's relationship issues are some kind of nuisance which he has been enduring It such a despicable act ,that I thought that we were surely going to get a follow up episode where Sheldon would be shown how wrong he was...but we get none as always To summarize , the final scene was despicable and very ruthless on Leonard . I could see not difference in Sheldon's and Priya's attitude towards Leonard..both were using him in their own way The tone of this was so wrong....Leonard is supposed to be the suffering hero in this story....just try to imagine if this episode focused on Leonard and not Sheldon , where he , Priya along with Howard and Raj go to a club or something and spend a happy night together and then had to wake up to Sheldon's evil scheme.....then it would not have been about the academy or anything...it would have been Priya revealing what actually she thinks of their relationship But the writers were so focused on having Sheldon win the battle over Priya that they forgot what effect would it have on Leonard.......the writers betrayed the morality of the characters I don't know if the writers were trying to show the incompatability of Leonard and Priya's relationship with this episode or not.....or if they were trying to tell the audience to hate Priya some more or not........but they clearly were able to reveal a fatal flaw in the show... And before some of you point out that the guys have been mean to each other in the past....I agree and the arctic might be the go to example....but the difference is we were shown Sheldon suffering ,Sheldon being comforted, the guys apologizing to Sheldon and bringing him back.....but all we get in this episode is Sheldon feeling triumphant... Let me know your opinions on my opinions
