"bodies of the dead sinners"

What now?

[james_tigerwoods]

I watched this ages ago when it was aired and again last night - It all felt rushed and a bit slapdash.

The Leonard/Penny thing was just too contrived for my liking - And the ring, that just felt tossed in as an afterthought...

[james_tigerwoods]

I forgot about this thread - Not a great episode, but it ties up the end of S8 I suppose - A few "convenient" story lines and you can see a couple of storylines coming up.

No Emily in this one which was a shame though.

[james_tigerwoods]

Nothing definitive, it seems, but this link:

http://bigbangtheory.wikia.com/wiki/Season_9

Contains details of 4 (at present) of the Season 9 episodes - It looks interesting to say the least.

As above, that link's a giant spoiler - potentially.

Um, er, just watched the second episode of the new series.......... all I can say is: slightly better than the first but still too soapy by far. At least there were a couple of funny moments though.

My download stalled and I gave up.

I hope it improved - I watched the first episode again last night and while I chuckled at a few moments, it was Season 1/2 funny....

A big bang movie would be awful....

Episode 3 is a lot better, more like the old stuff.

Yep, much much better. Lots of funny moments in it.

Just watched it - I agree, funny for sure.

Penny is looking better too

This weeks was dreadfully weak. I am also coming to the conclusion that Koothrappali is becoming more and more irreverent to the whole storyline and could very easily be removed.

I think it's just a matter of time before Emily is removed to bring his weird, gay side, out. Surely?

A child is on the cards. It has to be - Note that I don't want it to be...

Big bang is back on E4 this week (I think) - so now those that haven't seen them can be disappointed like the rest of us

Well to be fair I think it went bad-bad-good-ok... And writing this reminded me to watch last night's episode, so now it's bad-bad-good-ok-the first half was really funny then it kinda just went a bit meh.

It was a decent episode - You can see where part of this series is going though

Quite a few bits made me chuckle last night. It is better when they move away from a whole episode of storyline and have an episode of geek jokes instead.

Is that the US episode?

Its just getting stupid now. Leonard and Penny and married but he hasn't moved in with her??

It's the Sheldon / change thing...

And the Bernadette thing is getting annoying - The latest US episode shows her in a light that I don't care for

[james_tigerwoods]

Yep. There's a wiki site that has the extended plot for the next 3 US episodes....

I'm not even going to put in a spoiler link.

[james_tigerwoods]

Latest US one was actually good - Not series 1/2 good, but pretty good. Nice to see Emily too

She had a minor part in last week's UK episode,the one with Raj n Howard's Thor song.

Can't remember if she had any lines....

She had a few - comments about the song. Not many though - I actually wonder if/when they'll write her out though. Which will be a shame.

I agree, the don't seem very keen to write her into the main story - perhaps the main players don't want to share the limelight, but with a bit more character development she would fit in with the others quite well.

She's in the latest US one more

Thoroughly enjoyed that, funniest episode in a long time.

Totally agree

Best of the series so far

[james_tigerwoods]

It's back on (in the States) and I'm pleased we're seeing a little more of Emily, not so thrilled about seeing more of Stuart.

However, I'm not keen on the direction of the "Valentines" episode - There's a wiki that outlines the plot.

Just was able to see S09 E01 and E02.

Does it get better? E01 was especially dreadful. Was like a very bad run off the mill sitcom. Worst episode so far imho.

Don't worry it gets better.

Very slowly..

[james_tigerwoods]

It had some good moments, but the karaoke was dire

As an aside - UK watchers don't read this Is Emily gone now?
