It honestly feels like it's been a summer hiatus.

Love the fake out about how Sheldon's issue wasn't about raj like Leonard & Howard's was in the opening.

And that's why Beverly would make a terrible therapist. Making diagnosises based on second hand information is a terrible practice.

This is textbook Sheldon. Change bothers him, but he learns to be okay with it. And gets a giant Batman to soothe his spirits.
So the formerly spoiled rich boy feels guilty for sponging off his friends, but the formerly starving artist will do anything to keep his free ride. Maybe it's not where you're going but where you come from that matters.
Oh Beverley, Eris the goddess of discord ain't got nothing on you.

Generally I don't agree with Beverly but once I think she could be right. Lenny's problem is not as big as she made it but I made a similiar observations since Sheldon moved out.
Penny and Leonard seem to have some problems with their togetherness and living on their own. First after Sheldon moved out they had several little fights and now Raj is the second person they asked to live with him.
They are great friends to Raj but I think it would be better for them to live on their own and adjust the small hurdles of their own relationship.

And Yes to Stuart, Raj and Cinnamon moving in together!!!

Thanks for the thread!

This was an interesting episode - so focused on the couples, it seemed different from any episodes we've had before. I enjoyed it.

Agree with all of this.

Well the Beverly thing wasn't as bad as I was afraid about. But I don't totally agree we you Susanne, Leonard and Penny didn't "ask" Raj to live with them, they proposed a free room to a homeless friend, not exactly the same.
They might need so time to adjust the living alone situation, but they're not trying to find a new roommate.
But, I'm terribly frustrated that we didn't see the discussion (so-called 'fight' as usual) between Leonard and Penny. We saw Sheldon/Amy, Raj/Stuart, but not Leonard/Penny? Once again they have something to discuss, they obviously did it, but we know nothing about it.

Great episode! Loved that all the storylines connected - I feel like those are often the best episodes.

And I definitely agree, Susanne. It's not as dire as Bev is making it out to be, but it's a problem that does exist there. That being said, I'm glad Raj is moving in for a little while because I think it'll be hilarious. I also like how they've kept track of this Leonard and Penny storyline and are doing stuff with it.

Also, with Sheldon's bit about eating his friends, I noticed he left out Howard, Bernadette, and Raj, so I wonder if that means that he assumes they won't last long enough in an apocalypse for him to eat them.

All hail Cinnamon and the Cinnamon episode.

We didn't hear the entirety of that conversation - the first thing we hear of his explanation is "Penny would be the entree." So I'm assuming the others are appetizers.

I disagree. To Beverly it looks like they're constantly in need of a roommate, but she doesn't know the backstory of Raj moving in and neither does she know enough about Leonard and Penny to explain their actions with her scientific knowledge. Basically she's just making assumptions and she's trying to put labels on things she has no clue about.

In reality, Leonard and Penny offered Raj Sheldon's old room because he called for help and they're just really nice people who decided to help him. They didn't just say "Now that Sheldon is gone, I think it's time for another roommate because that's totally what we need". They even expressed their dislike over the idea of Raj living with them multiple times, but they went for it anyway.

In any case, I think this is just an indicator that they're working very well together. They trust each other enough to make that decision and they have enough love left over to help a friend in need, even if that might make some things more complicated than it needs to be for them.

De-topping but as always feel free to continue discussing!
