Big Bang Theory - The Focus Attenuation

Raj thinks Leonard 'tricked' Penny into getting engaged - and apparently he's almost done a pullup!

My friend gave me this awesome shirt for my birthday so I'm wearing it in honour of tonight's episode:

I might piss off some Trekkies... But I don't really care :P

Sheldon's hatred of travel destinations appear to all stem from various movies. 'I don't want to go to a lake house, have you seen The Lake House??'

Sure, nothing bad happens to THEM... The bad thing happens to me for having to watch this for 1.5 hours.

The girls are going to Vegas! This ought to be good... 

Surprise, surprise, Howard's only ideas for inventions are things you can have sex with. And now they're going to try to create the hover-board from Back to the Future 2.

The girls' trip is disrupted by Penny having to do work stuff.

Sheldon just referred to Leonard as his 'boy' lol I'm not sure what to make of that... And they're all quibbling about the proper tense to refer to things that changed the past after doing something in the future.

Drunk Amy keeps going on and on about how hot Bernadette is, and apparently she also has a divot in her spine! Their hotel room is SO NICE, man this happens every time people from a sitcom go to a hotel. 

GHOSTBUSTERS!!!! Bill Murray got wrong the meaning of 'negative reinforcement' in the opening scene (which I surprisingly didn't notice, even though I learned about that in my Psych class).

'You have a gift!!'

This episode seemed really short... Raise your hands if you're still astonished by the fact that Big Bang Theory is on its EIGHTH season. I mean holy crap.

Big Bang Theory - The Junior Professor Solution

One night, two new episodes of BBT.

If there was a female version of this, that'd be me right now.

According to the plot summary of this episode from the CBS website, Sheldon has to teach a class and Howard takes it. I'm expecting a lot of peanut-gallery comments, since he's always been the quickest with comebacks out of the group. This ought to be good.

Also I should mention that Sheldon is reeeeally reluctant about the teaching job.

Penny is avoiding Bernadette because she's finding her annoying and it's making Amy (and me) uncomfortable because this kind of thing is terribly awkward and kinda mean...

Can we just ban couple-names? Raj + his girlfriend = Kuthrapemily or Emmipali. Bad. Just cringeworthy. And as an Emily, I know my name wouldn't ever pair well with that of any hypothetical future boyfriend I might have. So just let's ban them. For the good of mankind.

Amy is playing a bit of a double-agent because Bernadette is complaining to her about Penny now - I HAVE BEEN THERE AND IT IS TERRIBLE. DON'T FALL INTO THAT TRAP, AMY!

Callback to the episode where Sheldon taught Penny about physics! Fig Newtons are named after a town in Massachusetts, not the scientist. (I knew that!) And Walowitz might get his doctorate, which is good for him, but I will really miss all those 'Howard's the only non-doctor here' jokes.

I always have felt bad for Amy... Her boyfriend couldn't care less about the things going on with her, and now she's 'popular' because she was always so lonely that she's willing to pit her two best friends against each other just so they'll both like her? It's really just kinda sad...

That was brilliant - Howard decided to be a crappy non-paying-attention student because Sheldon was being a crappy teacher and OH GOD HE'S RAPPING. HOWARD IS RAPPING.

But poor Amy, Bernadette and Penny are getting along now so she feels left out.

'Can't talk! Spitball! Probably gonna die!' Totally using that line now whenever someone calls me and I don't want to talk to them.

Howard has got a whole new backbone to him this season, I kinda love it. [Edit: I just managed to put a name on what's happening to him. He's becoming more quippy, and less creepy. Nailed it.]

(Commercial Break) there's a new Nicholas Sparks movie coming out and even though it sounds almost exactly like The Notebook I kinda want to see it because it has JAMES MARSDEN IN IT!! Although he was in the Notebook, and lost the girl... So he doesn't have a great track record. But he's very handsome. So he's got that going for him, which is nice. But I already have an idea of what the poster's gonna look like:

The BBT boys just gave me an idea... to study using a quiz system with chocolate as reward! Why have I never thought of this!
