It's an uncomfortable reminder of the many, many times my mother has facepalmed at me and then refused to explain why.
My problem is, I do care.
I don't like it when I see the jokes coming, which happens too often. But when I'm surprised by them they can be very nice.
A True Lady's Quest - A Jojo is You!Besides, this won't be the first sitcom to rely on comedy by giving stupid characters their come-uppance, with only a few characters that you are supposed to feel for.
That being said, I like this series. When watching it with my friend, I said that it was like watching ourselves turned Up To Eleven. They agreed. It is now our collective favorite show.
Heck, it's the only life-action series that I actually enjoy watching.
It's sort of weird. Some episodes are actually really on the money about nerd culture. They've either got some meganerds on the writing staff or they've got some serious consultants, because they make nerd jokes that are actually nerdy and actually pretty funny. They totally defy Small Reference Pools.
And then other episodes, it's like the writers have only ever had minor contact with nerds, making the same jokes people have been making about nerds for the last century or so.
So it sort of varies between being a fairly impressive sitcom and a fairly by-the-numbers one.
Also: Raj is the funniest character on the show. "Let's bounce, bitches!"

I liked the one time Sheldon and Leonard were debating over whose board was better.
"Mine's on String Theory."
"You had to invent five more dimensions for it to work!"
My FF.net accountOriginally they were going to make Penny this grizzeled embittered boarderline alcholic who just used the guys in order to get benifits. However when they took it to a test audience everyone liked the ners and thought that Proto Penny was a cow, so the recast her and made the nerds the focus. Huzzah for test audiences I say. Who would relate to some bitch who maniplutes people with her looks?
What the hell kind of fucked-up alternate reality do you live in?
A True Lady's Quest - A Jojo is You!I think the third season is better than the first two. But the quality still varies wildly from episode to episode, along with the characterizations.
Well that was interesting...
Very glad Sheldon decided not to have a baby with Amy. It seemed kind of out of character anyway. I'd believe that he wants his genes to be passed on to another genius, but I just can't see him making a good father. He wouldn't deal well with the crying.
The B plot was hilarious though.
We're going to spread this shit like Nutella.^ That's kind of what I meant. He wanted to make a child with Amy specificly because she's just like him. That part fit him, it was the fact that he was planning to raise the child either alone or with Amy that didn't quite fit. Since he doesn't like loud noises and all. Somehow, I doubt he considered that as he didn't even consider that his religious mother would be pissed at the thought of an out-of-wedlock grandchild.
We're going to spread this shit like Nutella.Yeah but maybe he thought that the baby would be just like him, being very smart very early and thus not require much care but much education.
You lost!

Really love the series. Too bad, I'm not catching up with Season 3. But yeah, of course I will, sometime in the near future.
I like how Sheldon lacks common sense. (or should I say, common sense of a normal-brained person xD) How about you guys?
Sup Elevens?
