Lionne Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Base on the reports from the fans who were there I don't think this episode will cause any angst among the fans on this forum like the last few have Er, not sure this is angst, but I find the last two episodes a little bit boring? Did Penny appreciate Leonard in his sexy gown, at least? The cast picture is a delight. This cast is so cute. But now I just want soooooomething to happen. The show has definitely brought back the boys doing a lot of science and geeky stuff together. Congrats to those who wanted that, but this seems a bit dull to me.

Stewie99 Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Thanks Dana and HappyKitty for the intel...sounds like a fun episode. With regards to your observation on Jim's script...Of course these actors are all true professionals, but I am always impressed with the reports of how they absorb the re-writes on the fly during the taping. I would find that terrifying...but these guys probably love the challenge! After eight seasons of it they are probably used to having to remember new lines on the spot, but it is still a pretty amazing talent to have.

Chrismo Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 (edited) Maybe Lenny will have a second chance to fly to Jersey if Penny get's the part in the movie.

Congrats to those who wanted that, but this seems a bit dull to me.my wife said the same thing about last week's tapimg. while she enjoyed it and everything she didn't think it was that exciting or one of the best episodes of the season. she will be more disappointed not to see them eating or Lenny together so this episode might be more exciting than last Edited April 1, 2015 by Chrismo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmp Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 It's hard to tell from a TR, or even reading directly from a script, how funny an episode might be. On paper, things might sound boring that turn out to be extremely entertaining. Or maybe it's going to be a boring episode--we'll see. I agree there's no plot development but the finale is coming (sniffle, sniffle) so something will happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itwasdestined Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 There's nothing like a 1 minute synopsis to convince people of the total worth of a 20 minute show! How bout we wait to watch something before we judge the boring factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantagrae Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 (edited) I think people expect an ongoing plot like in LOST or something. There's always a plot, within each episode. An individual episode may not serve the overarching long term story, but to me that doesn't make any episode boring or pointless. The episode I saw was very funny, even if it wasn't about anyone's romantic development. ETA: It looks like there are 2 new eps on April 9 & 16, which should be Fortification Implemntation and Communication Deterioration, 8x20 and 8x22.

kerrycec03 Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 (edited) based off what we know, this episode highlights Lenny & Raj....who have been both neglected this season. Even as a Shamy fan, I know they have had the spotlight a lot this season, second being Howard & Bernadette (mainly due to the whole death situation and the plots that followed). And from what we know based off the social media stuff is that it does sound like a funny episode. A lot of times things are funnier on airing then a taping report or comments let on. And the selfie cast pic was AWESOME!! Probably one of my favorite updated cast pics!! So go Kaley on that one. I do expect angst/drama in the final two episodes. This one is probably the classic boys comedy which is one of the backbones of the show. Edited April 1, 2015 by kerrycec03 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cecilia Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Thanks for the taping report Dana and Happykitty. I liked the way Penny helped Leonard and tried to make things work for him. I am also happy about the Sheldon-Howard scenes. As for the boring thing well I am not sure if it's such a bad thing when someone has an opinion about an episode that hasn't aired yet. I mean why are we here anyway?? Since it was posted respectfully and clearly stated as an opinion and no more than that I think it's cool to say whatever. And if the episode turns out to be funnier than that person expected all the better right? If not that's a shame. But sometimes I find the reactions about people's dramatic reactions wayyy more dramatic if that makes sense (it probably doesn't..at least I tried ). Anyway it seems a little rude to say what people should say or judge or find boring as long as it is stated respectfully. Just my opinion about it.

happykitty Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 (edited) I was also at the taping of "The Communication Deterioration." In my opinion, that episode wasn't as exiting, especially when it was played back yesterday. It's an OK episode, just not as exiting. The episode taped last night was just laugh out loud funny and NOT boring at all. Howard and Sheldon are hilarious together. Raj and his parents were funny, and it was good to see Leonard and Penny so happy together. Penny was exited to go with Leonard to New Jersey, and Leonard really wanted to show her his old stomping grounds. When Penny found out that they weren't going, she seemed really disappointed.

happykitty Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 The tag scene is also hilarious because Howard finally gets the drone working but it ends up flying everywhere and knocking down everything in the apartment. It flies right into Sheldon's face and he screams, then it flies right into Leonard and Penny in the hallway. Leonard's commencement speech was really great. I don't remember word for word but I think he talked about being different and embracing that, and Penny was with him on Skype too. Leonard faced the webcam on her, and she said something like "Stay in school kids" Bernadette was in a few scenes too. She gave Howard a part he needed to fix the drone, and then she told him to call tech support. Howard refused to call tech support because he makes fun of people that call tech support. Bernadette says " I call tech support all the time," and Howard, Raj, and Sheldon laugh. Amy was only in one scene, and it was the first group scene. She hands Sheldon his food and tells Leonard something like "At least he will have a pretty girl by his side when he makes his commencement speech," Funniest scene was when Howard does finally call tech support and Raj's cell phone starts to ring. He says "It's just my father you jerks!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomasina Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 I am disappointed that new jersey was involved and we didn't get anything with leonard's family, but I'm glad they brought Mrs koothrapalli back. I was afraid she was gone for good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRAM Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 The episode really sounds like we are getting some of the good Lenny stuff we wanted in the episode. They sound like they are really acting like an engaged couple, Leonard goes to New Jersey and of course he takes his soon to be wife to show her around and maybe meet his family. It falls through and things get messed up, so she helps him fix it. This is the Lenny we wanted all season, it is just frustrating we had to wait so long for it.

happykitty Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Also forgot to mention that when Leonard and Penny are walking down the stairs with their luggage, Penny asks "I wonder if we can visit your mom." I forgot what Leonard said though. I just know it was a joke Leonard would have probably introduced Penny to the rest of his family, I'm assuming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penny: "Do you think we will have time to visit your mother while we are there?" Leonard: "Of course. We will also have time to run my groin through a blender, but we are not going to do that either". The run my groin through a blender may not be the exact quote.
