Big Bang Theory - season 2

Re: Big Bang Theory - season 2

I had to rewind about three times for that line about the plague-infested gibbon sneezing his hands dry! I was just laughing too hard to go on!

Re: Big Bang Theory - season 2

Ya know, I was looking at that screenshot of Sheldon and I realized that if you add a black hood he looks a lot like...

Emperor Palpatine from Star Wars Ep III...

Re: Big Bang Theory - season 2

I liked the throw away cameo with Charlie Sheene. I get a kick out of Lorre's references to his other shows (and his competition).

"The 30-what under 30-what to watch for what?"
"In a million years, I never would have guessed that."

"I've got a Masters degree!"
"Who doesn't?"

Re: Big Bang Theory - season 2

Or like Rowan Atkinson in Blackadder

*nod* Doctor Koothrappali; *nod* Doctor Gablehauser
*nod* Doctor Hofstedter; *nod* Doctor Gablehauser
*nod* Doctor Cooper; *nod*Doctor Gablehauser
*nod* Mister Wolowitz; *nod* (meekly) Doctor Gablehauser

Then, when Gablehauser mussed his hair...

Re: Big Bang Theory - season 2

I second Joseph's observation - when Sheldon 'smiled' I thought of Mr. Bean.

I'm actually surprised Sheldon hangs around Wolowitz given he's only an engineer with a master's.

Re: Big Bang Theory - season 2

Yes! I can totally see Rowan lol.

Re: Big Bang Theory - season 2

The Griffin Equivalency
Another funny episode.
Love how we learn and get deeper and deeper into Sheldon's strange and precise likes.
Especially how Leonard has to make three different stops for his Chinese order.

Sheldon has his place on the couch(but I think we learned that last week)
His baby wipe theory versus hand blowers


It was so weird seeing stuck up snobbish stylin Raj
and Joker face Sheldon was creepy funny.

Sheldon sportting the Greatest American Hero T-shirt!

Sheldon's line to Raj about being invited to Raj's People party

"I can make it, but I won't."

and Raj's line to Penny about her evening dress.

"I was hoping for something more redonkulous."

Here is a description of next weeks episode

Re: Big Bang Theory - season 2

Sheldon’s place on the couch was actually established in the very first episode of the season 1.

Re: Big Bang Theory - season 2

I thought the first half of this week's episode was a bit slow, but the second half was great, with Sheldon at the DMV and the driving simulator.

I'm making plans to visit LA in November, and I've signed up to attend a taping of 'Big Bang Theory' on Nov.18!!

Re: Big Bang Theory - season 2

Sweet!

I loved this entire episode, but then again when have I not loved an episode of this show? It was actually quite sweet of Sheldon to make nice with Penny in the car and try to have fun with her, unfortunately for him she was tired and pissed lol.

Loved his line after he quit the driving simulator...

"I'm not quitting, I never quit."

"Then what are you doing?"

"I'm transcending the situation."



Also loved 'The Phantom of the Cafeteria' at the end..."You saw nothing!"

Re: Big Bang Theory - season 2

I like that it is cold on the set during taping.

Re: Big Bang Theory - season 2

Makes sense because studio lights are HOT. I'll probably do okay because I carry some extra insulation. The process of getting in there is a bit of a pain, though, because they take people in small groups through security and into the Warner lot. They're not kidding when they tell you parking opens two hours in advance of show time and to check in at least 60 minutes prior.

Re: Big Bang Theory - season 2

True. Of course, that isn't what Mike had in mind.

Re: Big Bang Theory - season 2

When he was hanging on the back of Wolowitz's motor scooter he could have been Mr. Bean.

Re: Big Bang Theory - season 2

I just realized... how very Sheldon of me.

Re: Big Bang Theory - season 2

LOL! Very Sheldon, indeed.

Re: Big Bang Theory - season 2

I was a bit sad last night, because the episode wasn't as funny as the others have been. I laughed, but not my usual rolling on the floor about to die laughter. Kind of disappointing.

I have the biggest crush on Sheldon.

Does anyone else notice that Leonard always talks UP. He always has his head tilted up when he talks and he never really looks people directly in the eyes.

Re: Big Bang Theory - season 2

Just a reminder that last night's episode was a re-run from last season.

One thing I did catch this time was that they mentioned Sheldon re-designing the easy bake oven as a kid to make a robot. But Engineering was never really his thing. Just because he is good at astrophysics doesn't mean he is a good engineer. If this was the case, having that freaky Walowitz around makes even less sense. I knew Sheldon and Leonard were "nerds" but they are better at theory than actual practice like an engineer would be.

Re: Big Bang Theory - season 2

Hence the missing eyebrows...



Joe

Re: Big Bang Theory - season 2

A real fun episode last night. I loved the clause sequence where Sheldon is asking Leonard to help - the Skynet clause, the Body Snatchers clause, the Godzilla clause.

Re: Big Bang Theory - season 2

"He's one lab accident away from being a supervillain."

Re: Big Bang Theory - season 2

Another winner. Finally, the Penny and Sheldon showdown that seemed inevitable.
Loved the part where Penny tried to banish Sheldon from the Cheesecake Factory.

Also, there's a B+ review of the show in the latest Entertainment Weekly with the 'Twilight' cover story.

Can't wait till next Tuesday, when I'll be in the audience!

Re: Big Bang Theory - season 2

That was a fantastic episode. Probably one of the funniest. I can't remember if I have mentioned this before, but does Sheldon remind anyone else of Anthony Perkins? (still crushing on him).

Can anyone tell me what it says at the end of each episode after the credits. There is a screen that appears at the end and each week it says something different.

Re: Big Bang Theory - season 2

The things at the end are called "vanity cards". They usually identify the executive producer's personal production company and give him/her/them one more chance to get that name out in front of everybody. Mostly they're exactly the same on every show and every week (think Jerry Bruckheimer's rain-squall, Bryan Singer's "Bad Hat Harry" or Steven Bochco's violin glissando.) Ever since Dharma & Greg Chuck Lorre has written different text for each of the vanity cards on each of his series. Viewers without a VCR or DVR can read all of them for all his series at Lorre's official site. The page for The Big Bang Theory can be found here.

Re: Big Bang Theory - season 2

I agree; one of the funniest of the season. I may have to buy the DVD set just for this episode. So many funny lines...

"What? You think she didn't know we were nerds?!"

"What are you complaining about? I'm the one who has to take the class again."

"Yes, I'm sure I don't know what baby Jesus is concerned about"

Re: Big Bang Theory - season 2

Thanks Joseph, that was exactly what I was looking for. Much appreciated.

Re: Big Bang Theory - season 2

The show was Number one for last night leading the way to CBS winning Monday evening.

Re: Big Bang Theory - season 2

You're going to take a camera and take as many pictures of Kaley Cuoco and post them here, right?

Speaking of Kaley, man, did she look awesome in the red tanktop.

Ever since someone mentioned that Johnny looks up every time he talks, that's all I see when he delivers his lines.

Being as anal retentive and OCD as he is, I'm surprised that Sheldon allows other people to make his food for him. You would think that someone who is that picky about how they like their food would take the time to learn how to cook for themselves instead of eating out or ordering in and burdening someone else with exact instructions on how to make their order.
