The Big Bang Theory 201-206

I'm so glad that they toned down Penny. Now, she's just an everyday person, someone completely normal, not dumb as she was presented during S1. In a very odd way she fit perfectly with this crazy bunch of nerds and balances them out.

I don't like Leslie Winkle. She's mean in a very rude way. I mean, take Amy Farrah Fowler in S4 and onwards. She can put down anybody but she does it in a very smart way. All Leslie does is call Sheldon "dumbass". Eh.

Howard's clothes are getting brighter and more and more bizarre.

Sheldon? Never change, buddy. He's a hoot. I admire Jim Parsons for his ability to spout such a hilarious nonsense with a completely straight face!

My favorite quotables:

Leonard: Sheldon! How could you just sit there and let them spy on me?
Sheldon: They were clever, Leonard: they exploited my complete lack of interest in what you were doing.

Sheldon: [Penny] was trying to open her apartment with her car key because her face is overly Midwestern, she hasn't had sex in six months, and she ate a fly.

Sheldon: Mom smokes in the car, Jesus is OK with it, but we can't tell Dad.

Leonard: Sheldon lives in fear of the three tine fork.
Sheldon: Three tines is not a fork. Three tines is a trident. Forks are for eating, tridents are for ruling the seven seas.

I so adore intelligent sitcoms based on wit, not slapstick humor. And Sheldon... Man, he and SGA's McKay would've had a field day together.
