This was one of my favorite episodes. Show hasn't missed a beat back into the season. Loved Howard and Amy. Epic. And Bernadette was on fire...

Don't know why this one got panned by the AV Club, thought it was fun. The writers really need to find something for Raj and Stuart to do though. The odd pairings in the cast made for a lot fun interactions.

Clearly not Princeton.

I don't think they'd ever say, but I would assume it's somewhere in East Texas given that he was 11 when he started attending -- I don't think Laurie Metcalf would have let him go off to Boston or San Francisco at that age.

Really like the show but I would like to see Raj paired up at this point. Male or female, they should decide on a direction and do it.

I was losing interest in this show at the end of last season and it was on the bubble. This episode was great though and I'm back in.

That was easily one of the best episodes of their entire run. I love how they did the pairings and changed up the dynamics between the characters. They really should do more nerdy episodes like this.

I believe just for 1 episode though, for now anyway. I believe her Garfunkel & Oates show got picked up by IFC.

Absolutely agree.

Hilarious episode. Mixing up the couples worked great, and Raj's intro and end were great. I wish we got to see more of the scavenger hunt.

Lucy is a crappy character. The writers tried too hard to make her awkward and it just doesn't work if you ask me. I kind of hope she's just a one off appearance.

I thought the first two episodes this season have been pretty good so far too. I'll need to watch last night's sometime today after reading all the positive comments.

Amy and Howard made the episode. Of all the things that could have been discovered to be a common bond between them it ended up being

At this point we know Bernadette has two parents and five brothers and sisters. How come only her dad was at the wedding?

I just want Sheldon's sister to return.

Bernadette's mother was visible in the satellite photo of the wedding.

Is it in any way possible that there's a college in East Texas that would be superior to Princeton or MIT? Even to Sheldon's thought process?

starting the season off with some momemtum... thankfully Sheldon went back to his normal hair and got rid of the big front flap.
