April Posted October 25, 2017 Posted October 25, 2017 Seeing how there's a fight erupting so frequently after some people generously provide spoilers I am really not surprised. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We must never take any information for granted. If we get information we always should be grateful. For the information per se and of course towards the generous person who takes his or her precious time to provide the info. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Early seasons Howard is condemned, yet Kripke is loved LOL ! Kripke being pervy about what sex toys Shamy use while working with Sheldon is not that different from creepy Howard wanting to read about Penny’s sex life with her blogger ex-boyfriend. Or Kripke sending a picture of his dick to Amy, is a bit like something early seasons Howard would think is charming when asking someone out.Maybe it has to do with dislike of Sheldon. So someone who is a rival of Sheldon and can teach Sheldon a lesson is liked. The writers have many plots about how Sheldon needs to learn this lesson and that lesson, but not many think about calling out Kripke. Also, Kripke doesn’t appear frequently on the whole, compared to Stuart , Howard or Raj, so he can be funny and its easier to not overuse him. If he was a main character they would have toned him down too. Just a hunch ! Edited October 25, 2017 by serena_1995 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he was a main character they would have toned him down too. Just a hunch ! Yeah, the difference is: 1) Kripke is effectively the antagonist of the show, mostly towards Sheldon but often the other characters as well (JRB frequently even calls him a "villain"). Simply put: he's a bad guy so when he does bad things you're not supposed to feel for him or anything. You can like him in the same way that you can find any villain/antagonist entertaining. It would be different if the show put him as one of the protagonists and asked you to be sympathetic towards him as they do with the main gang. 2) He's only in a few episodes. This taping will be his 20th - with a show that has 230+ episodes this isn't much and he doesn't even have a big plot in every one of them. Sometimes it's just a short scene and doesn't do that much. (For comparison. Stuart was in 60+ episodes already.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nusspot Posted October 25, 2017 Posted October 25, 2017 (edited) Anyway, Ruchi is back in this episode, too. Looks like she's here to stay. What is this, her third episode already? In my heart I've always secretly hoped Yvette the vet would be the one for Raj. Too bad. (Yes, even though we saw her just for an episode years ago. Go figure.). So long as Raj has something to do in the show these days, I guess. Edited October 25, 2017 by nusspot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonny Posted October 25, 2017 Posted October 25, 2017 Will have to see how it plays out, but I have been burned before trying to have some hope for his character and find something to root for.

Carlos Posted October 25, 2017 Posted October 25, 2017 18 hours ago, April said: Depends on how he's used on the show. With all the plots revolving around Sheldon's work issues I wouldn't be surprised if they have him with something work-related (reigniting the old Sheldon-Kripke rivalry?) instead of playing up his creepy side. Also, some people just like John Ross Bowie. I agree with you comment. Barry has always had that creepy side even if that is not all there is to him, but IMO he has almost always been funny. I, however, have one question: is Barry creepy or is he "cweepy" ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario D. Posted October 25, 2017 Posted October 25, 2017 12 hours ago, 3ku11 said: Yeah I noticed that too. Last time it was referenced correct me if I am wrong. Was 10x02 when Penny visited Bernie at work. Since then I Think it was mentioned in The Big Bear Preception. But other then that. Is she still happy with her job? Last time the show checked she was not. So who knows really. Would the show make her quit being a Pharm Rep? Possibly. But I have no idea really. The last mention of her job was when Zack offered her a head sales position at his company. Since then I agree no mention of it. I don't believe they would have her quit but hopefully offer her a different position at the company if they plan to do anything at all. Always thought they could possibly create a position where she is a spokesperson for the drug company i.e. on commercials, infomercials, endorsements Here she could use both her sales experience and acting background.

Tensor Posted October 25, 2017 Posted October 25, 2017 All ratings are down. There were only three shows to break a 2.0 last week. TBBT, This is Us, and The Voice. Neither Empire nor The Good Doctor were able to crack a 2.0. Modern Family was down to a 1.7 as was Will and Grace. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, they could have Penny a very excited mother to be, measuring her bump regularly and weird stuff like that for humor, and also more sensitive, crying about things she would usually shrug off, things that are normal for the gang. I can see Kaley croacking "Why are you so mean?" in a hilarious way. This would make me, personally, want to vomit. I'd leave the show to the people who like this sort of thing. But me?
