It's back! Sweet!

 

[Captain Craig]

New ep tonight and me without Tivo while I'll be at the free Watchmen screener.

Leonard would choose Watchmen I know but be dissapointed in me for not having a Tivo.

 

[Iasius]

Excellent!

I just love this show. This episode had me laughing out loud literally quite a few times. I loved every minute of it.

 

[Chris3123]

Stargate reference! First one I think.

I loved it, like all the others. I love Howard's mom.

"IS SHE JEWISH?"
"Yes!"
"OK, THEN YOU KIDS HAVE FUN. ... USE PROTECTION!"

"Ma, rent me a tux!"
"NOW? WHAT KIND OF SEX ARE YOU TWO HAVING UP THERE?"

I thought that it was really good. First time in a long time that I got to actually see it first run.

All I have to say is this:

^^^That scene with Sheldon on the couch is one of the best scenes I've seen in a while. I couldn't stop laughing. The look on his face is priceless.

 

[AstroSmurf]

^ Oh my god yes. I laughed until I was crying. Sheldon never fails to deliver a classic piece of guffaw with every show.

I voted above average. It was really good and loaded with laughs. My only complaint was the tacked on Leslie/Howard thing. The two stories (Penny and the cushion/Howard and Leslie) didn't fit very well together thematically. I do like them as a couple though. They have an immediate chemistry that I think the other "romances" on the show lack. And we got to hear more from Howard's hysterically funny mom. I pray the writer's don't ruin it and try and show her one day. She should remain unseen, like Marius from "Frasier".

Above Average for me. Quite a few funny moments, including Sheldon's analysis of everything. I found most of the Leslie/Howard stuff pretty funny, too (even if the two stories didn't really mesh that well).

 

[Venardhi]

The whole 'my spot' joke has gotten a bit stale. Hopefully this ends that particular running joke on a high note.

I liked Leonard's blatant reference to his obvious constant attempts at forging a relationship and her obvious disinterest in pursuing it and throwing it in her face. Maybe we can move past that too now that he is able to joke about it like that. It was probably the best line of the night.

 

[Praetor]

Was it just me or did it seem like Sheldon was lusting after the Flash?

"Hey there, Mister Fastest Man Alive! Wanna see me read your comic book?"
*flip!*
"Wanna see me do it again?"
*flip!*

Maybe it was just competition.

I got into this show about a week ago. Since then I've already watched all the eps that have aired so far, so now I can participate in these weekly threads. What can I say, great fun ep.

 

[Spot's Meow]

Great episode, I voted above average. Like others said I thought the two stories didn't go together all that well, but separately they were both funny. Sheldon is just hilarious, that actor should win an Emmy!
