That was the point. But yeah, somehow they did it. Much like Edgar Wright did the impossible by making Mary Elizabeth Winstead unattractive in Scott Pilgrim, and the last issue of W magazine somehow had a photo shoot that made Jennifer Lawrence unattractive.
On a different note, I did like the joke Howie Mandel got in on Howard by calling him "Ringo." It fits.

Oh my god, I'm having exactly the same thing. It's shameful.

This episode has accomplished the impossible... They made Melissa Rauch unattractive.
Sweet Mercy...
How is that even possible? The glasses actually make her sexier. Call it a fetish.

Wow, finally a great episode in this season.
What's up with the random kiss attack?
Also, they did a great job hiding her right hand. I definitely saw her right hand in a cast but it was really easy to miss.

You would kiss a woman with a nasty looking nose full of snot? Shame on you.
And yeah.. I never said she didn't look hot with the glasses.
Oh... And for further reference... Mayim Bialik looks better without glasses.

The was a great ep but what was Jeff Gerstmann doing on the show.

hell naw
I dig either straight or wavy hair though.
Did this episode have a new writer or something? I generally enjoy the show but I think this was the first episode ever that made me laugh out loud because of how surprising some of the jokes were. The holes joke, Amy's Operation line with perfect delivery, the kissing attack, Howard's weird singing at the end... This whole episode constantly had me wondering WTF was going on, but I liked it.

Yeah, I hope it's back to intellectual deadpan Amy, which is why I really liked her character in the first place. She's been spending way too much of her character fawning over Sheldon lately.
POW! Right in the kisser
ALso. GREAT Episode. I love how they added Stuart as a regular now... he and Raj are hilarously akward.

Yeah, there are some moments with Mayim Bialik totally nails it as Amy with her comedic timing. She'll be all serious and through in a little laugh right at the end that makes me crack up.

Season 6 had a weak-ish start but this episode picked up nicely, had a lot of laughs. Simon Helberg can be quite funny and versatile, I totally had forgotten that he was on "Studio 60" back then:

A change for good if so. This was the first episode I've really enjoyed since a LONG time.

I actually agree with the "surprising" aspects of this episode. The Sheldon kissing part caught me off guard.
As much as I like this show, it could use some snappier and more shocking writing. It is in its 6th season, after all.
Season 5 started strong and got weaker. Season 6 started decently but is getting better. I hope the trend continues. I will say that I wish they would just split up Leonard and Penny and end that storyline. It really just doesn't work for me; not all the men and women in the show have to be couples. Just "Jerry and Elaine" them already!
In the past I've even admitted that this show has started to lose me a bit (in a similar way to other comedy shows like The Office and 30 Rock which sort of tapered off after their strongest seasons), but I still tune in because the good moments are worth sticking around for.

I watch and have watched a lot of quality TV shows. I know TBBT is polarizing but sometimes even people like me can enjoy something of its nature. No shame here. I don't feel like I'm compromising my tastes. I'm very selective about shows and I do have some standards, but I'm also open-minded; gave TBBT a shot and it clicked, so shoot me.

Its interesting to see that the characters are maturing slowly and slowly. Sheldon's tolerance of basic social customs and norms is fun to see. Penny's understanding of her place in the nerd kingdom and despite all Sheldon's fussy behavior shes learned to accept it. Not to mention the nerd's ability to actually maintain relationships with super hot women. Its growth and change that every show needs. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I think its exactly the kind of natural progression this show needed.

I think Penny is one of the most unlikable, stupid bitches in the history of television.

I enjoyed her growth as a character for a while but her likability went out the door with the original breakup and now I'm wishing they'd break up permanently so she can stop dragging Leonard down.

She just treats Leonard like absolute shit. What's the reverse of feminism?

There's the part when he's pretending to be her boyfriend for the benefit of her father and just kisses her face repeatedly and sloppily. It's really uncomfortable and disgusting to watch,

They are the least incompatible couple in the frigging world. He must be really good at nerdy, awkward sex, because I can see no other reason why a slutty, thick as shit girl would stick around a sniveling, socially inept little bitch.
Some of my favorite episodes are post-Penny break-up, but before he gets serious with Pryia.
When Pryia fucked Sheldon over with his own contract? Man that is my favorite ep.
Yeah that was terrible, you could hear the spit sloshing around every time he was "making out" with her. Ugh.
The last 2 episodes have both been great. It's good to see Howard back on Earth, even though he didn't get the return party he was hoping for. I hope they don't pit Howard Vs. Stewart for Raajs' attention. Howard is married now, so i'd expect him to hang out less with the guys and more with his wife. Rocketman was funny and a great/sad ending.
Sorry for the double post
The way I see it, she is basically using him when she needs to build up her self esteem. She only goes back for him when either she breaks up with a boyfriend, or he gets attention from someone else-- then all of a sudden she gets jealous and can't stand him not giving her all the attention. She just keeps him around in case she gets lonely or needs an ego boost. As soon as she gets comfortable that she has him hooked, she starts looking to break up and search for new dick.
Leonard with Pria was a fairly confident Leonard and quite frankly would have no problems with women considering his intellect and stability in life.
Thing is they have done a lot of the classic arcs for couples in tv. She was courted, they got together, they broke up, they moved on to other partners, they hooked up again, they are breaking up again.
The series is really at its best when they are not together, to be honest, but are still flirting or being jealous of each other.

YES! And like you said, the one where they are fucking with Sheldon using the contract is so great.
I enjoy when it's Penny & Sheldon, when she has to go to the ER and Sheldon drives her. When Penny Calls his mom in the Panty Pinata', when she teaches Sheldon acting... or when he teaches her Physics. Leonard and Penny are boring...

That's definitely my favorite episode too. In fact, I really loved Priya. I actually like Priya more than Penny, but maybe that's because I think she's way hotter. That accent.

Priya was a bitch. She was hot but she treated Leonard like shit.

On the board of couples that Amy likes: Blossom and Joey.
