This season 2 episode airs tonight at 10:30/9:30c on TBS. Since we don't have a talkback thread for this episode, I thought I'd make one for this one. The plan is for every month of the hiatus I would make an episode thread for an episode we don't have a talkback thread for. Which includes 4 more season 2 episodes. Thoughts on this episode?

I always liked all the scenes with Sheldon and Penny in this one.

So did I, especially Sheldons "you know it's bad enough you make me watch that movie, but now you mock me with it?". Along with Penny's knowing facial responses.

You'd think the murder jokes with Leonard to Sheldon would get old after ten seasons......but you'd be wrong, BECAUSE THEY'RE STILL HILARIOUS!

It's very telling that in Sheldon's star trek analogy that he sees Leonard as the captain Kirk of the group, especially when Raj is the guy that always gets killed!

Even though Leonard isn't the best socially, he still has enough know all to recognize what things are and aren't a big deal on Facebook. It's one of many reasons why I think penny gravitated most to Leonard, he was the least odd of an odd bunch.

As someone who had stitches on their thumb because I sliced it open at a nursing home kitchen, I can relate to Leonard having to have a needle in your hand for a long time. It more than stings.

One difference I've noticed in the old days compared to the new days is most episodes now have B & C plots. The old days had Penny, Howard, and Raj as support characters with the occasional focus episode on them. These days its more like those 3 are just as important as Leonard and Sheldon, with Amy & Bernadette being secondary characters to those five. Of course that's understandable as over saturation of ONLY specific characters can cause things to get staler in a quicker time.

Anyways I give this episode a 9.5 (A) out of 10.

I wasn't aware there wasn't a thread for this episode! It's definitely a really strong one.

The episode yes.
Loved the landing party line and how Sheldon told Leonard to open the glas.

I don't know why, but Raj asking to see Leonard's stitches and then Howard going "Blaarrggh!" cracks me up to this day. I can relate, Howard.
