I like the GSP returns. Guys plot is good. 

Eta: What annoyed me about last episode. Was the lazy lazy writing. This is just embarrassing. Penny: "How is this any different from you making me live with Sheldon?" What?! Huh. Leonard made you stay Penny? You sure about that? Are you senial? . It was just a year ago. Penny made Leonard stay with Sheldon. This is part of the shows problem. The writing sucks. They are luckey they have such a talented cast. Or they would be screwed. Geez the writers are like a blind man with alciemaz. I mean it's not bad continuity. Because that would suggest they attempt At continuity.

It's just one of Penny's alternative facts, like when she said she told him to take the mistletoe down, or Amy's builders were still working, or Leonard forbade her brother to come.

Amy looks good in her dress.

Just throwing it out there. 

I agree, that dress suits her very much. I find that this season the custom department is providing Amy of some nice new outfits. They are her usual style and there's nothing fancy in  most of them (the dress in the current episode is Amy-kind of fancy though), but she has new colorful shirts and vests. They kinda of follow up with the plot that some of  her old dresses go lost after the plumbing problem in her apartment. Of course, there are also times where she wears her "old" stuff...

Thank you so much for the gif Veejay!

I love it! It so cute how passionate Sheldon hugs Leonard, he is very appreciative and thankful! He loves his buddy.

And I love the way, how  Leonard´s head shakes as his body collides with Sheldon´s, it hit him unexpected. LOL

The likes comes later, when I will be able to like again.

lol looks like he doesn't mind at first he is about to get a hug but isn't prepared for how strong it is.

Nothing wrong with a bit of Shelnard bromance on display lol

Trying to remember is this the second hug he has received from Sheldon? I of course remember the Professor Proton death episode hug (Leonard attempted one then later Sheldon actually hugged him). Can't remember another off the top of my head. There was that time when Leonard comforted him on his caffeine freak out/about the prototype but I wouldn't really call that a hug.

That is true, he was stunned by the passion!

As far as I remember it was their second hug. Both were very touching, because they took place at two emotionally moments.

The first one was passionate as well, because Sheldon threw himself into Leonard´s arms, after Proton had told him to appreciate his friends more. And so he did, because I guess in that moment, he was just glad that Leonard was still alive and came to look for him and that was his way to appreciate his gesture.

I loved how he put a  hand on Sheldon´s back. It looked like he had tears in his eyes.

That's cos it wasn't funny. They deserve better than being just the drama component of the show. The Christmas Tree scenes were hilarious. The Proton funeral was funny. The paint sex scene was funny. Their season six scenes were funny. Season 3 scenes were funny. Even during the Season 4 breakup had some very funny scenes. Johnny and Kaley are great comedic talents. The writers can give them great funny scenes. The drama just isn't needed. Marriage clashes in real life can be funny. Mine are. It's not all drama. Come on Molaro, lift your game.

Exactly right! I mean, after all this is supposed to be a sit-com, right? All this fighting and all this constant drama, and this perennial angst seem so out of place. I understand the need for conflict from where hilarious situations can arise, the drama... not so much.

Johnny and Kaley want to stay on. So this may get awkward Haha. 

I just hope they would quit so I can stop watching what has become a retched show (for me). And also because I'm pretty sure it would reflect in the ratings and would be the beginning of the end for TBBT, and would show once and for all how important Lenny are.

She does. Dresses suit Amy better than separates. I still don't know why she and Bernadette wear cardigans so often despite California temperatures. Penny doesn't.

They kind of hug in 10x03 as well. Not a full on hug but it's when Sheldon rests his head on Leonard and he rubs him on the back. Love me a bit of Shelnard.

Wasn't suggesting you specifically. But in my observations going through the threads some people on here stay in one specific thread and only post there which is their choice. Just like IMO many of the rest of non thread audience has joined since season 4. I don't think many watched season 1-3 thinking Sheldon would be getting a girlfriend.

So we had the ex girlfriends talking to Raj and about why their relationships failed and now we have his friends talking to him about how spoiled he is? Is a wake up call on the cards?

You know, I've never really understood the Lucy business.

She has such massive social anxiety that, having met Raj, by pure accident, she climbs out of a "high and tiny" bathroom window to get away from him, yet, a few months later, she's dating someone else.

What happened to the massive social anxiety?

Obviously like most everything else on the show her social anxiety was fixed off screen.

Presumably that other guy is more mature and more sensitive and patient with her. Not that hard to understand.

Mr. Koothrapali says he has 6 kids, 5 of whom are married and self-supporting.

When did Priya get married, and why didn't Raj tell everyone the news?

I'm guessing the writers wouldn't think the audience would connect the dots.

Thanks for the clear explanation , I must confess I didnt understand well why you quoted me .

About the character's evolution imo all of them has changed. Some more , others less but overall when I started to watch the show, I would not ever imagined most of things they have been accomplishing. As I think we all as human beings must change as it makes part of growth, I am okay with where these characters have been going. Sure there are things not do well done but nobody is perfect and writers have done mistakes as everybody does in their lifes.

That would assume the show considers this information somehow relevant or entertaining to bother including it in a scene. But Priya has barely been mentioned since she was written out 5 years ago - so it seems the writers don't have much interest in keeping us up to date with her private life.

[Chrismo]

The Raj storyline had seemingly the most inconsistencies in show history:

1. Why would Emily S. think Raj and Howard would make a good couple when she wasn't aware they were friends until the double date when Emily met Howard's wife.

2. Raj seemed very patient with Lucy. He forgave her for abandoning him on a least 2 dates I remember. He had a date with her at the library. He arranged her to only meet one of the gang. Then all of sudden she's cured in the last episode.

3. Didn't Raj dump Emily S.?

4. What was the story with Claire? Couldn't figure that out.

Raj has done many things wrong in regard to woman in ten years. Too many to name. It seems to me the only thing he did wrong with these women was when he dumped Emily S.

But couldn't they done that by just mentioning their self supporting?  If Priya's marital status didn't matter the other 4's didn't matter either.

There could have been enough situations where Emily would have seen them doing their "old married couple" thing.

Raj pushed Lucy too far during the dinner with Amy and when he wanted her to meet the gang shortly after even though she was uncomfortable about that. Then when they wanted to give this a second try he was too pushy with the dating two women thing cause he had already met Emily.

He didn't love Emily and dragged out breaking up with her too long which led to the Valentine's Day mess. Who the hell knows what happened with the other try when he was also dating Claire!? That was such bullshit from start to finish and if there's one thing I'm really mad about it's that this is apparently the only closure we'll ever get - which isn't much. ughhh

It matters if the whole point is about pushing Raj to become better boyfriend material - thus linking the self supporting part to being married might have a bigger impact.

This. Raj was kind of aweful to her. Amy was doing a good job at making her feel comfortable, but Raj was just raining all over that.

Mr Molaro thinks it is hilarious when Lenny fights.

We have gotten two taped episode with no fights for Lenny so perhaps the writers have dropped this stupid story, but at the same time there have been no Lenny (that we know of) at all in those episodes.

And in one of those episodes Penny is still angsting about settling down and having a family for some unknown reason??? I think all this drama would be much more tolerable if the show was at least giving us a sense of where they're going with this. But so far the show seems to throw all sorts of conflicts at the wall to see what sticks with no coherent theme or solution in sight beyond a general vague feeling that they're in a rough patch.

No it's just bad writing. Those examples are examples of lieing. Not bad writing, or poor attempt At continuity. Penny telling Leonard you made me live with Sheldon. Is beyond alternative facts. It's awful writing. It's lazy writing. It's just bad continuity. Because it's now twice. Those examples you listed were  not continuous.
