Will not be able to watch this episode before tomorrow. :/

But I'm particularly looking forward to the girl scenes and the L/P/S interaction!
Not sure about the bully story, though...

No problem, Roxanne! Same goes for you at LJ.

I'm confused on one thing-it has always appeared that Leonard grew up in New Jersey. How did he just happen to bump into a guy from his high school in Pasadena?

Where did it implie that Speckerman actually is from Pasadena?! I thought he'd traveled there or sth...:/ Uhmm. Now I'm confused as well...

Um...It didn't. Leonard grew up in New Jersey. Leonard went to high school in New Jersey, so that implies Speckerman is from New Jersey as well.

Yes, I thought that, too. That he must be from NJ as well, because Leonard grew up there (and logically went to high school there). I assumed that you meant it the other way around, that Speckerman is from Pasadena...because that would be false.

Edit: Oh geez, sorry, Nicole! I misunderstood what you've written... But now I get it! Obviously I'm suffering sleep deprivation...haha.

I don't like the look of that bully.

Really looking forward to the L/P/S bit!

This was a very very funny episode I laughed through out the episode. I really don't like bullies but this was a good storyline and it got Leonard to step up and not take anymore of the crap that guy gave him. I really love that Sheldon had his back and they both stood up to him. I love their friendship cause they are a great bromance and one of my favorite bromances on tv right now.

The girls storyline, I thought it was funny but stealing from the poor?. That's not really nice. I loved the last scene Bernadette is so cute takiing the boots.

I'm glad it was Penny that decided to put it back. And Sheldon saying "Leonard, I platonically love you," made me so happy!

This one was the weakest of the season for me I just felt like a lot of the jokes fell flat and Penny didn't really come off as...I don't know....likeable, I guess? Don't get me wrong; I like Penny but I think someone who just saw this episode and none of the others would come away kind of put off (end of episode redemption notwithstanding). And the humorous anecdote about leaving the poor smart girl tied up in a cornfield overnight went right past amusing to disturbing for me.

On the plus side I thought Sheldon was hilarious, Bernadette was cute as usual, and Amy was adorably snarky. The bully was just...ugh.
