Yoda, is that you?

This could be good! Something a little different, a bit like 'The Table Polarisation' in Season 7. These kinds of episodes are a breath of fresh air, something out of the ordinary for the characters to deal with. I'm looking forward to it.

 

I don't understand how this episode and The Table Polarization are any more or less out of the ordinary than other ones.  Please enlighten me.  (I promise, no sarcasm.)

I don't think I'm going to enjoy this one at all

I don't think so either. With them working together to organize it and the potential for Bernadette to get controlling, reminds me of scavenger hunt. Sheldon struggling to meet social conventions and his own limitations doing it remind me of bath item.

Can't wait to see this episode!

My brain will be itching all through symphony rehearsal on this night.  I will have to rely on my trusty ancient VCR to record it and I'll watch it that night around 11pm! URGH!

And they're wonderful!

Thanks, stardust!

 

 

I think I'm going to have to go back and read the TR again so I can remember what's going on in some of those scenes--like the one where Sheldon is in Penny's apartment. (And boy, do those pants look baggy on Jim...)

The Table was a new item which the characters had to deal with, and it mixed things up. The Scavenger Vortex was the same- an activity/object which had the characters in a different dynamic- The Cooper Extraction was another. Just a different way of having the same characters interact with each other. Perhaps The Table Polarisation isn't the best example, but it was something different and those episodes are often the best.

I believe seat42F has more pics from this episode, though I'm not sure if they're allowed in this thread...

[stardustmelody 19501]

Just added a swoon-worthy photo during rehearsal for Shamy fans from this episode's journal!

Promo for Prom Episode is up!

[mphs95 1114]

Oh Nov 6 is taking too long to get here.....especially after that promo

[phantagrae 13664]

I think Sheldon went to 7-11 'cause he gots him a Big Gulp!

[Superlovelexi 617]

Looking forward to this episode so much!!  My birthday is Nov 7th so this will be my birthday episode on top of which on the 11th I get to go to TBBT taping    I love that its a romantic prom episode and even though it does seem kind of weird that grown people in their mid 30s with jobs are recreating prom on their roof, I dont' care if it means we get some SHAMY romance

Nice to see Amy dolled up, and displaying an impressive cleavage to boot.

Prom recreations for grown-ups should become a thing.

[Itwasdestined 5815]

Prom recreation is how I met my wife!

We were part of a young adult social group ( early 20s) at our church and as a group we planned a dinner dance with a Prom theme. Unbeknownst to my now wife and I, the rest of our group plotted to make us King and Queen of the Prom on the night. They apparently saw something about us that at that stage we didn't! We were crowned, cheered and danced and two months later we were a couple!

So I'll be watching this episode with more than Lenny or Shamy coloured glasses on. I'll be reliving the night my wife and I were brought together. How schmaltzy is that? ( and I had a bit of a Shelnard teenage life so I'm connecting to their stories in this episode)
