Thanks for the thread.

I hope the storyline about the disappointing fathers hasn't something to do with a Young Sheldon plot

This one was okay, but not great.

Anybody notice penny is wearing the same shirt that she wore in the season 3 episode? The last time she bonded with Beverly.

Cute episode! That was sweet, Leonard having a genuine moment with his mom where she verbally praised him and wasn't sarcastic. I'm loving hers and Penny's girl talks - I hope we get more of those from time to time. And Amy freaking out that Penny was drifting away was the best!

I'm glad that Raj kinda added a bit more fluidity to the idea of Howard and Bernadette having a boy - they were all caught up in boy stereotypes, but who's to say this boy won't be sensitive, artsy, and not into sports? And if he is butch, like Sheldon said, Penny's got it covered!

Really liked the Beverly/Leonard conversation.

Leonard is really moved when Beverly tells him that Penny is her favorite when it comes to her children's spouses. Penny is the one that Beverly is most impressed by, because she is confident, thoughtful and never complained about her husband once. According to Beverly, Leonard married well...and that makes her proud of him.

I loved Leonard's reaction when Beverly said that he married well and that she was proud of him too. Mostly I loved that he took his courage to call her to have an explanation of why she was bonding with Penny.
Bernadette and Howard being disappointed with having a boy is a little surprising, but Raj was helpful with Bernadette, in a very Raj-way but helpful.
Sheldon and Howard wasn't the best part of the episode, probably too long imo.

One thing that really amuses me is how Beverly seems to have to be tearing down at least one of her kids in order to compliment the other. She likes Penny much more than her other children's spouses.

So this episode reminded me of how that one time we met Howard's brother, and then that was dropped and never mentioned again. Are they still in touch at all? Does Howard's dad have any idea that his two sons met? Or that he has a grandkid? Why open that can of worms and then act like it never happened?

Just considering that Howard knows his dad is out there, and presumably how to get in touch with him if he wanted... It seems strange that it's still not mentioned at all when he's talking about his dad and childhood.

But anyway, pretty enjoyable episode!

Thanks for the thread!

I especially enjoyed the scene with Sheldon and Howard driving - there were some sweet moments there. Very interesting relationship, those two!
