The Big Bang Theory – Kite-fighting or Cornhuskers
I guess I don’t mind Penny and Leonard being a couple — as bizarre as the concept may be — if I don’t have to watch bed scenes with them. I can only suspend my disbelief to a certain point. That point doesn’t include the thought of those two having sex. It just doesn’t. Thankfully we had no bedroom scenes tonight.
The Big Bang Theory – Die, Wil Wheaton, die!
Well, well, well … if it isn’t Wil Wheaton playing … Wil Wheaton. In the geekdom that is comic and science fiction, the world in which our Big Bang Theory boys dwell, Wil is up there on his pedestal admired by the masses. Little does Wil know, he has one enemy out there in the world (besides all the bloggers over the years he’s conned out of their Guinness, by telling new bloggers aboard it’s tradition to buy him a Guinness. He’s probably stockpiling them.) But this isn’t about Wil. Wait. It is.
Reality Clack – Evil Russells, mylar balloons over Colorado
Lately on television, reality shows have really been a bad example of the real reality in which we live. For example, on Survivor: Samoa, we have two Russells. One is definitely an “Evil Russell.” But the Good Russell is exhibiting poor leadership skills — he was the Chosen One to lead his tribe in the beginning of the season. The supposed Good Russell has a chip on his shoulder the size of Wisconsin, too.
The latest route for many of the reality shows I watch is to get the most obnoxious self-absorbed folks ever in the cast. Then they focus on those people for the action almost more than any physical competitions or such. I suppose it does take a quirky personality and a dubious psyche to want to be on the shows, but give me a break.
The Big Bang Theory – Deportation, piracy, or work for Sheldon
Tonight’s episode was actually Raj-centric. We don’t see many of those. And, yes. I’ll be calling him Raj, mainly because Koothrappali is a bear to repeatedly type. Little did we know that Raj has been leading a double life. You heard me. Here we think he’s this diligent scientist, yet awkwardly geeky. He’s geeky, all right. But he’s also filling his workdays with Facebook and other sites (possibly CliqueClack TV!). He’s about to be deported.
The Big Bang Theory – Shiksa Goddess, can we just be friends?
The moment I was dreading on the show came last week — PennyLenny (Turkey Lurkey’s more wild neighbors) had sex. No, I’m not getting over it. Those two, in my mind at least, were never meant to be a sexual couple. What’s next? Barry Kripke and Sheldon will realize that they’re gay and head over heels in love? So this week we had the aftermath of the torrid sexual romp between Penny and Leonard. Oh, why couldn’t it all have just been a dream?
The Big Bang Theory – Betrayal and the big bang
I find this disturbing. They’re all (except Sheldon) reminding me of Joaquin Phoenix’s last appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman. Sheldon is reminding me of Maynard G. Krebs on The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis. I might end up with nightmares tonight. Of course, I’m talking aesthetics, mind you. I think that Maynard and Sheldon are definitely from two different galaxies. I’m just not sure whether either is from here.
Reality Clack – Big Brother 11, So You Think You Can Dance
No, it’s not Mia Michaels from So You Think You Can Dance in this image. It’s actually Lydia, from Big Brother 11, looking very much like Mia. I don’t think Lydia can dance, though. And, I can’t say for sure, but I don’t think Mia has a ton of tattoos.
They do have one thing in common: I’m not really all that enamored with either of them. Perhaps Mia Michaels has fantastic talent, and a vision far beyond my own, when it comes to dance. However, I just think how mean she was to Brandon in the beginning of this season. She has corrected herself since, but she initially seemed intent on crushing a young guy’s dreams. That’s so not cool.
