Big Bang Theory - The Intimacy Acceleration

I'm such a bad fan, I keep forgetting when the darn show airs... Stupid evening classes.

Anyways, if you haven't seen the previous week's episode, stop reading right now and go watch it (or read my recap here) because I don't want to spoil the big thing that happened for you. Also, get tissues.

Amy is discussing that study about how people can fall in love after asking one another a series of questions, and then looking into each other's eyes for four minutes. I have to say, I read about that study and I think it's really fascinating... And now I kind of want to try it out on some unsuspecting male friend hahaha (although the eye-gazing might be a hard thing to manage). 

Not creepy at all...

Raj suggests that Sheldon try the experiment and I can see already that this is going to be interesting! I mean he's already told her that he loves her, how much more do we think HE is going to 'accelerate'?! But apparently he's doing the experiment with Penny. Well that's even more interesting!!

Now Amy and Leonard are going to do the experiment?! Why are you people messing with your pairings? This has A Midsummer Night's Dream written all over it... Good thing they decided not to.

Howard is freaking out at the airport because the airline somehow MISPLACED HIS MOTHER'S ASHES holy shit I know sitcoms always use the 'everything is going wrong' thing but holy crap that's horrible.

This is weird, I've also just recently heard of those 'escape room' puzzle challenge thingys, and now Emily's suggesting she, Raj, Leonard, and Amy go to one. They've taken plot points out of my brain. CUT THAT OUT!

OY that girl who is the host of the escape room was totally in another episode of this show!!! She was one of the 'goth girls' that Raj and Howard picked up at the bar in Season 3!!

She's the one on the left. (Not that anyone cares)

And poor Howard's bag with the ashes (that surprises me, you'd think that ashes would need to be transported via biohazard things.. or maybe not. I dunno) has apparently gotten picked up by someone else.

And Penny and Sheldon are actually kind of getting along and getting closer. This is nice! They haven't had many one-on-one bonding stories lately!

Not since this escapade, at least.

I always have felt so bad for the airline employees who get yelled at when something goes wrong - obviously it's not her fault that the bag was lost! She was in another city! It's the perfect alibi! Poor Howard has a serious guilt complex over not taking his mother to the airport. And I have a sudden urge to call my mom.

The gang at the puzzle room is solving everything too fast. So they just finish it (while the zombie guy is just kinda standing there and lurching at them). Because they're all geniuses, except for Emily. Although that did kinda look like fun.

Oh god the eye contact thing is so creepy (even though they're not supposed to talk, they are) even though Sheldon says he's comfortable around Penny and that's so sweet!!

Also it's Sheldon's birthday! Nobody has ever known when his birthday is!! That's awesome!! And he thinks of her as a sister and I'm welling up because I'm so incredibly sappy. It's been eight years! And she's still eating their food! Nothing has changed! But now they feel closer, and psychology has once again proven itself the 'doofus of the sciences'. She walked him home, that's hilarious. Aaaand the gang was waiting to yell 'surprise' haha I guess there goes their newfound closeness...

The Big Bang Theory - The Prom Equivalency

My apologies for the later posting again (but it conflicts with Bones, so, ya know...)
My dad was watching it at home and texted me saying 'OH EM GEE!' so let's see what happens... 

Sheldon is right, I totally feel bad for the gibbon for being classified as a 'lesser ape'.
And Leonard is also right, gibbons don't even know about this taxonomical slight.

Who're you calling 'lesser' apes there, bud??

Penny's prom dress is either shockingly old-fashioned or overly-modern.. I can't tell. Wait a second, I thought Amy was home-schooled and therefore didn't have a prom. CONTINUITY!

Sheldon just said 'booty'. And I love how they just skipped the whole part of them coming up with the idea of the fake prom and just cut to the guys talking about it happening. PLOT HOLES!

Apparently Sheldon can roll-over and bank his 'knock-knock-knock PENNY's. This is a new development. OH DEAR GOD Penny just half-explained the after-prom sex thing to Sheldon and he kinda-half-agreed to it!! I really hope Penny doesn't tell Amy about that, it'll get her hopes up.

And the air-mattress-in-the-van thing Penny mentioned totally reminded me of this from That 70s Show:

Kelso's one-and-only van. Also: "Vanstock. It's like Woodstock, but with vans"

Howard is terribly inconsistent, what with his jealousy over Stuart's relationship with his mom, and then his anger over Stuart potentially being in a relationship with someone other than his mom - Make up your mind, dude!

Apparently pomegranate juice constitutes 'spiking' the punch.

Emily is a little dark... Bernadette is not haha 'I like Cinderella!' And we might finally get to meet that cousin that Howard had sex with - she's Stuart's date!

Leonard has already had his growth spurt! I'm astonished! And hey - going to prom alone isn't pathetic... I went by myself... (with friends). And then we went bowling. Come to think of it, we were pretty nerdy, too.

I went bowling. In this dress. Practical, it was not.

Sheldon has so many other names for sex - 'coitus', 'making whoopee', 'doing the dance with no pants'. And then he talks about his butt again! Maybe Leonard's wrong, and he does have hormones, after all...

Howard's cousin is totally adorable! She could have done WAY better than him (and yes, in my mind, Stuart is an improvement!)

This is one of the reasons I don't like the short-hair Penny - it doesn't look any more dressed-up than it does on a regular basis, even though it's a special event.

'Maybe dance with someone who has arms' Poor Amy is not really setting the bar very high there!

OH MY GOD!!! HE SAID HE LOVED HER!!! SHE WAS TOTALLY GOING TO TELL HIM THAT BUT SHE WAS MONOLOGUING AND HE CUT HER OFF AND SAID "I LOVE YOU TOO"!!!!!!!!! AWWWWWWW!!! *High-pitched squealy noise* TOTALLY LIVED UP TO THAT 'OH EM GEE'!!!! Naturally, this causes her to have a panic attack.

Amy Farrah Fowler: quite possibly the only person to ever need to lie down after being told 'I love you'

And then Stuart leaves because Howard's mom called and apparently got jealous over him taking the cousin as his date. Awkward.
