Always Anti-fascist!

He needs another dimension, badly. Even if he's just the boss-man to the ladies, he needs a place where he's not a jerk/cliche. Sometimes I still laugh...his tampon-squick was pretty funny. Does that make me a racism accomplice? Tep, I still think Big Bang's pretty funny, but at the same time your criticisms are fairly apt...they probably bother me less because I've not been watching as long so no long hiatuses to wait and then feel like I'm watching the same show again. And much as I heart Ms. Bialik(I totally do!) a little AFF goes a long way. Because they write *gags*, mostly not characters, so they haven't really got beyond "What if there was a female Sheldon, hee hee?" Which is great for two episodes, not two seasons...it's testimony to the actors' comic skills that most of that stuff ever works. I have some ideas: Raj dates a Deaf girl(or maybe just HOH enough that the quiet's not unusual) Unless he and Howard really do have a thing goin' on. Howard could go through a roommate or two--that's always funny. Penny could guest-star on a cheesy sci-fi show the guys dig.(She wouldn't be a big star...just do like Joey Tribbiani and get one-shots sometimes.) Character evolution doesn't have to be like "Penny and Leonard get married and have six kids!" Gradual is probably better actually

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Big Bang Theory: Sheldon is a fan of Nathan Fillion.

Of course he is.

I figured he was too, but the line made me happy. However, I hated the way the episode ended. You don't like kids, don't want them, but you'll have them anyway as long as you don't have to be the one to stay home with them? And you don't think that having them is going to seriously affect your life anyway? Seriously?

For those who still watch Glee: Oxygen is running a marathon on Saturday, from 11 am until 11:30 pm. It's an odd mix of episodes, beginning with the Pilot and ending with "Hold On to Sixteen."

Oh, I liked the line. And the tiara. It was a pretty weak ending but I can't say I care a whole lot about Howard and Bernadette's relationship anyway.

I forgot about the tiara! I loved that bit. I don't care much about Howard and Bernadette as a couple, but I love Bernadette as a character and I expect more from her.

Thrive to spite them

I only watched part of this but I saw Amy's reaction to the tiara and loved it. I wish the show would let Sheldon grow some and acknowledge over the people's feelings.

Also the laugh track seemed really...prominent but that's probably just because I've been watching so much Community.

I like Bernadette, too, she's generally pretty adorable. I'm actually hoping that its not really resolved. We'll see.
