The Big Bang Theory 3×14 ‘The Einstein Approximation’

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 ...

The Big Bang Theory 3×13 ‘The Bozeman Reaction’

Twice now, The Big Bang Theory has tickled the idea of the show without Sheldon's presence.  While 'The Bozeman Reaction' carries less weight with its insistence of Sheldon's departure, it still manages to entertain us with a hilarious, over-the-top episode.

The Big Bang Theory 3×12 ‘The Psychic Vortex’

If Will & Grace possessed the ultimate obstacle for an on-screen couple, then Sheldon and the female race possess the second.  Indeed, 'The Psychi Vortex' is the first episode to really hone in on a very comedic and potentially touchy subject for The Big Bang Theory: Sheldon's love life. Coupling If nothing else, Leonard and Howard's relationships have opened up a new direction for the show, one that is geared towards the comedic effects of emotional relationships rather than academic ...

The Big Bang Theory 3×11 ‘The Maternal Congruence’

With Christine Baranski guest starring in the show's Christmas episode this season, there's a lot of high expectations in the air for The Big Bang Theory this week.  While I am not a big fan of Baranski's character (Beverly, Leonard's mother), the episode is bolstered in entertainment thanks to an immense amount of alcohol. Beverly the Cruel Again, I much prefer Sheldon's mother to Beverly.  Beverly is dry in an undermining way, and she is the carbon copy of Sheldon's archetype.  While She...

The Big Bang Theory 3×10 ‘The Gorilla Experiment’

I must say it is refreshing to have another female personality on The Big Bang Theory.  'The Gorilla Experiment'' continues to focus on Howard's new relationship. Coupling For the first time in the series, The Big Bang Theory has the opportunity to explore the tricky rapids of relationships in a real way.  While Penny and Leonard give us a cute perspective of how opposites attract, Howard and Bernadette present a new layer to how these socially incompetent men might find romantic happiness...
