TBBT review

This is a short review for yesterday's episode of The Big Bang Theory. I will post a review of the new episode  of The Finder later in the evening, although I bet very few people watch that show and I dont think too many have liked it. But I like it a lot and hence the review is aimed at trying to get you to watch the series :D

Anyways, so first off I am going to say that recently the quality of the episodes has been dropping. Every character is slowly changing into a normal person from the previous quirky personalities that made the show so unique and probably caused so many people to relate to it. That being said yesterdays episode was a great improvement and I thought it was pretty brilliant. OK from this point on there may be spoilers, so SPOILER ALERT if you haven't watched it yet. Instead you can skip to the next paragraph where I actually review the general status of the series.

The guys decide to play the Star Wars online game (I am assuming its an MMORPG like Warcraft but much less popular) for 48 hours continuously over the weekend. When they reveal the plan to Sheldon he is of course extremely excited forgetting that he promised Amy to go with her to some old woman's (her great aunt or someone) 93rd birthday party. When Amy asks him that he should honor his word and the 'Relationship Agreement' he tries to brush it off and indirectly says that the agreement is basically to let him have his way. One of the really recurring funny jokes was the whip sound app that Howard uses when Sheldon has to listen to Amy and decides to go with her to the birthday. Of course finally he doesnt go with her and ends up playing with the guys. Each of the three informs their respective partners about the plan leading to some funny situations. Bernadette asks Howard if she can play with them and obviously he accepts much to the disappointment of everyone else, which results in Sheldon using the whip sound app and laughing at Howard in his classic way. Anyways so it all works out, Amy gets upset and tries to 'make a scene' but instead Raj makes one when the three girls refuse to leave the boy's alone.

As I said before all the guys have become almost normal now. Sheldon's quirks and characteristic "Asperger Syndrome" behavior continues to be funny. This episode I actually liked the three girls. I had started to hate Penny around the end of the 2nd season and in the 4th season the hatred became even stronger; I hate it when female leads are made promiscuous. I feel it kills the attraction the audience might feel towards the character for being you know 'hard to get'. I mean Penny was hard to get for Leonard but it felt like she went out with random men to just to create humor for the show by making Leonard sad. And it ended up making the character a slut in my opinion. Anyways that's just me. I think I like Bernadette way better than the other two. In this episode she's even cuter.

I also take offense to how the shows producers keep making Raj more and more feminine. I feel like Indians in the US already have several stereotypes to fight and if one of the major Indian characters on American television is so freaking gay; well that's just unfair man! Although there are times when he suddenly becomes normal. But in the majority of episodes, including this one, he is just so gay. I dont understand the purpose. To quote Leonard,"...pick up a Y chromosome while you were there? You might be short one."

Anyways in conclusion, this episode was great and with the current state of the series maybe they should make more like this one.
