TFTNT Martin.
I won't be able to watch the episode until late, so have fun!

Well I can't say that the laughs hit the mark for me in this one. But make no mistake I was all warm inside seeing Pr. Proton again. Even moreso with a good dose of R/H bromance.
It seems from all the evidence that Sheldon has rather a learning disability when it comes to reading people especially their emotions/motives.
Siebert however just fails as an administrator, not discussing this with Amy before he rearranged the staff.

Whimsical Elf

Yay for Seibert! I must say, I don't enjoy our discussions.
Some interesting interactions in this one - Sheldon/Amy, Raj/Howard.

Not really sure what I think of this episode... It was interesting to see Sheldon and Amy working on their project, just because I'm sure that will be an ongoing thing this season. And I did like Howard and Raj in the end. But most of the episode was just okay.

I laughed the hardest at Penny coming back after checking the stairs.... That was not at all what I expected!

soundsgood

I'm confused by Raj/Howard's plot, nothing really new. Bernadette in the planetarium was the best part.

I'm glad that Amy told Sheldon he was being selfish, it's about time. But I don't like how they write Sheldon recently, he's a giant spoiled baby more than ever, even in his relationship with Amy (when he doesn't make her childish with the kind of poke he does on her nose).

What a weird episode. I don't know how many times we've seen them looking at the stars by now, but it does get boring.

Shamy is just utterly boring. It baffles me how much screen time they get each week and yet it feels like they do nothing.

I like Shamy, but I don't love them like Lenny. Even though there are times where Sheldon is absolutely inconsiderate of Amy.

This episode is easily my least favorite of the season, as we once again get Sheldon once again being inconsiderate of his significant other.

Yes I know Sheldon has shortcomings but after so many times of pissing Amy off w/ how inconsiderate he's been w/ her, it gets annoying that he doesn't stop and consider Amy's feelings until he gets called on it by her.

-Why didn't he consider if Amy really wanted to do what Sheldon suggested wouldn't Amy had done what Sheldon suggested?

-Why did he think it was appropriate to be messing w/ her career w/o her knowing about it? Why didn't he think about asking her 1st?

And don't even get me started on Siebart's unethical conduct of taking Sheldon's advice w/o Amy there.

Howard-Raj's payoff was lackluster. It would've been funnier if they had praised each other to the point it annoyed 1 of them, or annoyed the audience.

Bernadette's explaining about her Russian role-playing character was hilarious. As was Penny's "shut up" when she figured out Leonard was right about the flight of stairs, but not enough to redeem the episode (even w/ Prof. Proton).

I did really love Bernadette as well! And Penny's reactions to Bernadette!

I'm kind of surprised by how often we've seen the planetarium. I get the gang going to see Raj's show when he first started, but really, why would they keep going back?

WeBuiltThePyramids

I didn't care for most of the Shamy stuff - I'm kinda over the way Sheldon is still acting 12 years in. But I absolutely loved the Lenny and Bernadette, and the Howard and Raj stuff was repetitive but I still kinda liked it. And I did like the last Shamy scene.

BlackWhiteRose

Nice little episode.
Loved the Raj/Howard hug at the plantarium Bernadette was so funny speaking with that russian accent
