Sah Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Loved it! Loved that Sheldon ended up missing Amy and said so. Loved the tag scene with Amy dancing and Sheldon's response to it. I loved that the girls let Amy believe she had a really wild night when she didn't. Loved that johnny g looked like he was going to bust out laughing over Raj and the tomato. Loved it all. 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have to rate this episode near the bottom for the season. There was a lot of ways they could have went with the guys storyline if you include a wil Wheaton, Bert or Stuart. Instead they went with beaten to death Sheldon misses and needs Amy. We get it. The girls storyline is limited. They have no other female friends. It would be fine as a b storyline. kind of sad that the last bachelor/ bachelorette party was tonight's episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe Howard had the best bachelor party and Penny had the nest bachelorette party by default. Amy's was a dud and Bernadette's was non existent. Leonard's started out just fine, then died. I don't even call Sheldon's a party. So, Howard and Penny win. Edited April 13, 2018 by chucky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djsurrey Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 I thought it was a very good episode. My favorite line was what if they were never here. Says something about the feedback we get and need from the people around us to keep us in touch with reality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bfm Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 That was BORING. I barely had a laugh. The best line for me was Sheldon to Raj "You.. just NO!". The girls story was better than the guys' to me but that doesn't really say much... As the episode was kind of about growth and change there are some minor things that I wonder if they were signs of growth/change or just the writers writing a bit OOC. First there was the guys' reactions to Raj's Hulk question - in the earlier days theu would fully engage in that discussion, now they were looking at him like a weirdo... Leonard's line could have easily come from Penny. Then the girls - if this were say prior to season 8 I could see Penny organizing this knitting party for Amy but rolling her eyes and making bored faces throughout the whole thing, now she seemed to be fine with that, even the tea was totally fine for her and she didn't go bring herself a bottle of wine. BTW, I really don't like that they reverted Leonard to hoodies! I liked him not wearing them anymore, I thought it was a subtle, clever way to show his growth. And now they're back... So overall, IMO, a disappointment after two good episodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KripkeRules Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Very good episode, one of the better ones this season. That Dr Wolcott played his part very well, IMO, better than a lot of guest actors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonny Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 I really enjoyed it, the friendships were very strong in this one in both stories (friendship is the core of this show) and my thoughts on Shamy are in the Shamy thread. I liked both stories a lot, the girls together are just amazing all the time in terms of comedy and how they play off each other in terms of delivery and timing. Melissa now free to be part of stories like this with them together is great to see and its something that has been missing a lot this season! It highlighted for me their friendship in a lot of ways, any other day what they did for Amy in terms of a Quilting Bee would have been well received so they do know her. They showed their friendships by created stories of their night out to give Amy that experience (sure they took photos of her passed out, but they do enjoy snark and banter with each other and I found it hilarious) that she wanted that's friendship right there. The guys had a bromance vibe throughout this one, I really enjoyed their friendship in this one and it felt strong. Leonard's gag about Raj and the Tomato was one of the funniest sharpest lines in a long time. But it was the concern they showed for Sheldon their friend that was a real highlight in this one, Leonard initiated a piece of dialogue that for me will be memorable for a long time: Quote Leonard: "Please don't tell me you want to live like this?" Sheldon: "See that's the strange thing, I don't. What is wrong with me?! Why don't I want this?" Howard: "Nothing is wrong with you. You have friends, you have a fiancee, you have a full life!" Sheldon: "You know what you're right. Thank you for bringing me up here, but I think I am ready to go home now." Raj: "Really, you don't want to stay for dinner and talk more science?" Sheldon: "No, I miss Amy." Really loved this episode and it moved the story along which for me is what I am into and more so as the show heads towards its end. Final point I have to point out is Mayim. A lot of the time it all depends on the material the actor is given especially in a show with so many characters, standalone format with stories for the most part being different each week etc. But I have to say in back to back episodes Mayim has been amazing, in terms of the material she has gotten, her delivery in terms of comedy and timing. I'm biased of course but I think others have noticed it as well that she has been top notch these past couple of episodes, for example Vulture also noticed that: http://www.vulture.com/2018/04/the-big-bang-theory-recap-season-11-episode-20.html Anyway this is all IMO and again I really enjoyed this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically, I was emphasizing the simple fact that we have different views on the funniness of last nights episode. There was nothing against you personally or an attack on you, and no that episode sure didn't excite me in the least bit. As a matter of fact, I was disappointed in it and the writers.

Actually I don't think it was too much, I think it is a nice change that she is capable of being okay with that and doesn't get bored with anything that is not alcohol, clubs and sports anymore.

My wife had "forced" me to look at Ally McBeal at that time and I liked it. His mannerism and gestures reminded me again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was funny because of having Kripke, Wheaton. Stuart part of the bachelor. Bernadette's was non existent but that was okay simply because theirs was part of Howards. You got at least a 1 out of 2 on that episode. Also I didn't laugh at his one. My judge is my wife who doesn't ship or isn't into it as much. She didn't like the episode either.

Purely just following the plot in this one it made sense considering both Sheldon and Amy realised with how their nights went that they have changed since all those years ago. And despite the fact they aren't the same people as they were when they first met they still love each other and always will. It made perfect sense. Like @April said we have had years of conflicted feelings between them, as they are getting married it's good everything is now being put into perspective and focus.
