The promo pics are great. I love Sheldon's look on the last one.

I've never seen Sheldon do so many "pranks"!

My favorite part: Penny playing the door game with Sheldon.

*knock*knock*knock* Penny!
*knock*knock*knock* Sheldon!
*knock*knock*knock* Penny!
*knock*knock*knock* Sheldon!

I was a bit disappointed tbh.

Sheldon pranks were funny, especially Jim's delivery of bazoonga (or whatever the word was ). I hope they won't overuse that at some point.

Raj and the reincarnation speech.

Penny will only miss Leonard...great move writers...

As for the whole LP thing. Penny wasn't thinking about him or show interest in him for months and suddenly it's all back. And also: LP for a cliffhanger. Again? Seriously? And Leonard didn't consider Penny before, only after he saw her upset. He didn't mind going to the North Pole, he didn't hesitate.

I don't know the episode didn't do it for me.

I loved some of the scenes and was happy to get some real humor, at least on Sheldon's part back into the episode again.

Though, I'm right with you there, Paula. I'm not trying to bash Leonard or Penny as characters, but as a couple...I just can't seem to figure out why we keep getting them forced on us again. They did this to us in S1, putting Leonard/Penny out there and it just didn't work. But at least suring S1 we actually saw Leonard's infatuation with Penny and his little crush on her. But we haven't had anything on the two of them romantically since the first episode, and of course when they were drunk with tequila...so why all of a sudden throw them at us again?

Awesome AWESOME episode! One of the funniest parts was the

Quote:
*Knock knock knock* "Penny"
*Knock knock knock* "Sheldon"
*Knock knock knock* "Penny!"
*Knock knock knock* "Sheldon!"


And the scene in the freezer was also very very funny. I love how Leonard was shaking so much that he was actually jumping a little, so cute

I would like a slanket too, it looks so cozy

LOVED the Leonard/Penny stuff. The hug was so cute and when she said to herself that she wished he wasn't going was kinda heartbreaking. Surprisingly sad for this show

Hilarious with Howard's mom and Raj's parents

Loved everything about this episode. Can't wait for it to come back again...anyone knows when??

LP are written so damn sloppy. I'm kinda sick of it. And as a result, I'm starting grow tired/unamused by Leonard. The ending was Whatever! You know she'll have a new boyfriend come fall when he returns. So contrived. Thought BBT was better than that. Guess not.

Sheldon, Rahj, and the parents saved the episode for me. Bazinga!!!

I did not know it was the last episode of the season . It was a great episode, way better than those we had the past 2 weeks. PL scenes are always the best they cracked me up once more. The blanket Penny gave to Howard was such a cute present. Great interaction of Howard's mom and Raj's parents, I would love to see more scenes like that one.

100% sure about that too. And we will be back at the starting point. This can get a bit tiresome after some time.

Just like last week, this episode wasn't up to par IMHO. Don't get me wrong, there were funny moments in the episode, but something just didn't click for me.

Am I the only one that thinks they are trying too hard with Leonard & Penny? I feel like they keep shoving them down our throats.

No, you definitely aren't. It got a bit too serious for my taste...first there is no hint of Penny still having feelings for him - well tbh imo she never had feelings for him, just was attracted to the cute kind of guy - and suddenly she is all heartbroken because he is leaving? Very random and contrived.

And the writers totally screwed up the Penny/the rest of the gang interaction/relationship. So she wouldn't miss any of the guy? Hard to believe...I guess the writers are too involved in the LP story to see that they messed that one up.
