The Big Bang Theory -- "The Pirate Solution" -- 10/12/09

"The Pirate Solution"
Spoiler:
Raj must find a new job or he will be sent back to India, but Sheldon has a solution, which leaves Leonard and Penny dealing with Howard as third wheel.

Hopefully better than last weeks ep which was not good by usual BBT standards.

The Eye of the Tiger montage and Sheldon bringing everything around to Raj becoming a pirate was good.

I think both this show and How I Met Your Mother are back on my very good graces.

Decent episode but what saved it was the Eye of the Tiger scenes. Loved those.

The "Eye of the Tiger" sequences slayed me.

Penny was looking delicious in her after-sex glow. Leonard...not so much.

I though this was one of the more hilarious episodes I've seen.

The sherry setup in the prof's office was predictable, but not: "would you like to hot tub with me?"

"You should file a report"
"One's already been filed"

"I swear to cow!"

"How should I know if you're allowed to speak?" (when Penny was listening in the hallway)

I would love to wake up to that every morning.

That was my favorite part.

After Howard described the Thanksgiving dish at his house, turducken doesn't sound so bad.

Sheldon's attempts at the normal functions of everyday life, (sarcasm, facial reading) will always be funny.

Great episode, one of the better ones this season so far.

I'm sorry, but Leonard is right. I'd be thanking her after sex every single time as well.

Raj's bits this week made up for last week.

"I swear to cow!" was perfect.

I like that they're using Koothrappali more.

These and the Eye of the Tiger scene were great. Koothrapali was excellent this episode.

But as usual I wasn't into the Sheldon stuff at all. His one note just doesn't ring with me and that keeps this show from being anything above mediocre to me. It's still worth watching every week, always a fun time killer.

I agree -- his character has been a work in progress but I think Kunal Nayyar and the writers are starting to hit their stride now.

So one drink makes Koothrappali confident; two drinks makes him swarmy.

When Leonard sadly left the apartment, you KNEW he was just outside the door. I was hoping for Leonard to do a What About Bob bit.

So Sheldon is definitely an Aspie, right?

"The writers say no, he doesn't. ..." Parson shrugs in his response, "[But] I can say that he couldn't display more facets of it."

He definitely seems like it, regardless of what the writers say.

I like how they mentioned the "nauseated" joke from last year.

Great ep. "I swear to cow" totally killed me too.
