I just took it straight from the wiki about the shirts and color coding according to the Latern...league...whatever it is. (Please don't tell Sheldon I don't know that. I'll be fired as the teeshirt interpreter.)

As for that interviewer... I'm sure he's a really nice guy, but he just came across as super smarmy in that interview, didn't he? *shudders*

rubyanjel

Can anyone get me a link of any JP interview where he's subconsciously lip-biting? Thank you.

Edit: Oh wait. I was just kidding. Nevermind.

Lol Chloe! I can't stop laughing there!

Jim's cute comments in this one: Jim Parsons’s Favorite Season 5 Big Bang Episode -- Vulture Interesting he enjoyed this episode so much. I thought he was adorable in it, but love to see his take on the matter.

Sursonica

thanks for the article, very interesting read. It does show how much Jim enjoys playing Sheldon out of his confort zone and this episode surely did that. Also, loved his comments about Johnny

sarahha

Me and you both, Jim.

ETA:

But on a serious note, it's really cool to read his perspective on episodes.
I wish the cast would do commentary on all their episodes on the DVDs.

I remember that we discussed how well-behaved that bird seemed, and we theorized it was because animals usually know who to trust. Jim says that the bird never bit him. I am not surprised. When Sheldon was giving the bird a drink, he had this huge smile that reached his eyes and I could have sworn that was really Jim coming through.

sarahha

I like that theory.
Also, who had the huge smile in his eyes? Jim or the bird?
Or both?
Even birds are in love with him. Fact.

moyrani

LOL, Jim had a huge smile that reached his eyes.

That was the same conclusion we reached the last time we discussed TOD.

Sursonica

as I read that comment, my brain transformed The Carpenter's "close to you" to this:

Why do birds, suddenly appear
everytime
they see Jim?
Just like "we", they long to be, close to him...


I need help, I know

sarahha

No, you don't, that song sounds about right.

Thanks for posting Jim's input. TOD is definitely one of my season 5 favorites too - apart from being hilarious, it was such a significant step of character growth for Sheldon. 'Come back here, you stupid bird, so I can love you' were some of the most touching words ever spoken by Sheldon, and still remains my signature. And the sentiments developed were a definite lead-in to TFSA.

It's also lovely to hear the sweet little behind-the-scenes about the bird, right from Jim himself. I'm imagining him interacting 'eye-to-eye' with it.
I remember the taping report mentioned that at one point, when the bird was perched on his arm and he was getting lovey-dovey with it, the bird was actually reluctant to leave his arm. And my first though was, who wouldn't be? As Sarah says, even birds are in love with him.

This question is cracking me up for some reason.


Edit: That song is perfect, Yanina.

I bet if Jim was a bird he'd be something majestic like an eagle, or maybe something pretty like a parrot.

Maybe it's the long work day...or maybe it's just that it's funny, but I have tears in my eyes from trying to contain my laughter at this statement. (or indeed the whole conversation)




Don't hate me, but I was generally "meh" about TOD.

kbcountry37

Don't worry, Rae..because:

1) I just finished an 8hr work day and had the same reaction to the said conversation

and

2) TOD was also "meh" for me...it is what it is. Not an ep I remember well.

Sursonica

well,,,, Jim did have a couple of parakeets he said on Conan Jim Parsons Interview 09/21/11 @ TeamCoco.com
