Big Bang Theory - The Space Probe Disintegration

 BBT won the 'favourite TV show' award last night at the People's Choice Awards - I was a little surprised that it beat Game of Thrones but I guess it appeals to more people than GoT. Johnny Galecki looked very orange when they accepted.

Sheldon wants to play Lord of the Rings Risk, which apparently will take eight hours. The girls are going to veto their plans, and choose something to do instead. But it turns out Amy's ideas are just as unappealing to Amy. Amy's hips don't open wider than 22 degrees, which is why she can't go horseback riding. And she has brittle ankles. Sheldon is afraid of Zambonis, so skating is out. 

Raj is part of a space probe team and is freaking out about whether or not the probe (on its way to Pluto) will work. Howard attempts to distract him and apparently Raj didn't actually crash a stationary bike, he got lightheaded and fell off. Because his playlist was too up-tempo. See, this is why I don't exercise.

Wise words.

The girls end up shopping and the guys just have to sit around and hold their purses. But there's no cell service so they are incredibly bored. Everytime Sheldon goes to use his phone but remembers he can't, he goes 'son of a biscuit' and it's hilarious. (Although this is silly, there are plenty of games and apps that work without service, are you telling me neither of them has Angry Birds?)

Especially considering this exists.

I'm really distracted by all the pretty dresses on the rack behind Sheldon. I really want to go dress shopping now... Plot twist! Sheldon knows how to drive! Apparently Amy taught him. And he gets the pedals mixed up. He also thinks it's generous of him to not tell Leonard that he has lettuce in his teeth.

Raj is now becoming somewhat religious, which astonishes Howard. Howard also thinks Albert Einstein slept with Marilyn Monroe. Which is news to me...

I don't understand why TV shows/movies always have change room doors that cover from people's shoulders to their knees. Just so the characters can converse. That's so impractical.  I mean what if a customer is taller? Or the fact that someone can just walk up and look *over* the door?!!

Although then I guess this scene wouldn't have happened without the ridiculous door heights... Nevermind.

Sheldon says he can see his ears in his peripheral vision. And now I've strained my eyes attempting to see mine. They get in a fight and Sheldon tells Leonard to move out with Penny and this is really sad... Sheldon's crying and Leonard's crying and now I feel bad!! Wow this really must mean a lot to Sheldon, he agreed to let Leonard whistle! (When he's not home, of course).

Raj is getting really deep right now and I'm really impressed... Oh wait nevermind, he flipped out because some guy opened his door into his car, and apparently his dog's hair got cut so that 'she looks like Jim Carrey from Dumb and Dumber' hahaha - but it's all ok! The probe turned itself on! It's all okay!

Penny relents and lets Amy pick the next activity, which is basket weaving!! To be perfectly honest, that does seem kinda like a neat hobby, I just have no clue what I'd do with a bunch of baskets.
