Ever wondered what Sheldon might be like without sleep?  ‘The Einstein Approximation’ feels like a step up from the world of The Big Bang Theory by introducing a bigger, crazier Sheldon.  The results is to be expected: entertainment at its best.

2+2+1+1

For some reason, the presence of two taken scientists is starting to cause a rift between the characters with girlfriends and those without.  Suddenly, all interactions either revolve around Sheldon or relationships.  This is by no means a bad thing, but it does limit the number of storylines the show can substantially explore.  It’s all comaraderie on The Big Bang Theory, but what about individual development?  The unfortunate few like Raj gets to be the definitive sidekick without a chance to ever evolve.

This would be a major detriment to the show, but thanks to its constant barrage of jokes and hilarious storylines, the show remains top notch.  However, here’s to hoping that some change comes to the show comes its fourth year.  There’s consistency and then there’s risk taking.  The Big Bang Theory is not the latter.
