phantagrae Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 Poor Raj ain't gettin' no love... I want to like him, but I think TPTB need to DO something with him. Or FOR him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ar Diem Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 Yikes.... another forum. I feel like all I do is bounce around this board. About Raj. I would prefer if they gave him a sequence of girlfriends and have him change his personality/appearance to suit the girl he is with. It would be the reverse of having him wear dumb outfits to pick up girls and give him a chance to be funny again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackWhiteRose Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 (edited) I feel so sorry for Raj that he doesn`t have a girlfriend. I so hope he´ll get one. And he should get rid of his selective mutism. All in all I like Raj. Edited January 25, 2013 by BlackWhiteRose Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest I'm not dead Cheryl Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 Raj was the character that I loved at first sight when i watched TBBT for the first time. The Grasshopper Experiment remains as one of my favorite episodes ever. I do feel his stagnation over the last couple of seasons. I do hope they find the way to make his character shine again.

The Lash Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 I like the way the Raj character is used to highlight the madness of political correctness. 2nd Favourite Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
djvang Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 Gotta get rid of the mutism. It's used up its amusement value and it's too limiting to the character. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Pollard Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 Agree with others that the selective mutism has to go. The writers are constantly making up reasons for Raj to have a drink so that he can talk to women, which has become tedious. If the show had lasted only a few seasons, that would have been fine, but after nearly six years with no end in sight, it's time to get rid of the crutch and give him new things to do that don't require him being plastered all the time.

Lissie Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 Maybe Raj needs an arranged marriage. By the way I am missing his parents, I liked them very much..but I think I must write this in that another thread... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kutra Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 Never understood why he gets hammered when he needs to talk to girls.He only needs to drink,no need to be a drunk.Big difference between the 2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, but I think it's time to get rid of this plot device altogether. Raj has enough quirks and socially awkward behavior that they really don't need the mutism anymore. Time to find a cure (other than alcohol) and move forward! Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S III using Tapatalk 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dbear12 Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 (edited) I used to like Raj a lot more before season four. To be honest he came across as a complete douche in that season. Lusting on and planning to hit on his best friends finance and then sleeping with another friends ex, who said friend still had strong feelings for kind of made unlikable for me. Yes I know Penny and Lenard were not together and Lenard was dating Raj’s sister. But still, it comes across as pretty sleazy, and it’s not just males who feel this way, I have seen many women go nuts when their friends hook up with an ex and don’t give them a heads up. They kind of wrote the fall out unrealistically IMO. The mutism as many of you have said is overplayed and they need to get rid of it. The dude is weird enough as it is. Like I said first few seasons I thought he was a great character, but I think, like with Penny’s character they damaged him some in season four (as you can likely tell, I really thought they dropped the ball in season four). I am sure many disagree with me, but this just my opinion. Edited January 26, 2013 by Dbear12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DisposablePuppets Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 Raj is by far my least favorite character on the show. To be honest, they could write him completely out and I probably wouldn't even miss him Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nogravitasatall Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 He comes over as nice and he does probably dust and vacuum, which counts for a lot. And he is pretty... but gosh they have given him some unpleasant undertones. When they stay away from that he is good fun. They should keep away from the dark side and give him an arc.
