Big Bang Theory

The Big Bang Theory Geeks… and LOST?

by Christina Gleason on January 12, 2009

I just watched the geeks on Big Bang Theory sic their killer robot on the poor, defenseless toaster. Then Penny told Howard he was creepy and pathetic, and Sheldon made a lame attempt at a yo mama joke.

You know what I want to see? I want Sheldon to pick apart the physics of LOST. I want him to propose his theory about how the smoke monster works, or pick apart the flaws in Daniel’s payload experiment and time paradox on the island. I want to know how Sheldon thinks the island moves, and why Ben ended up in the desert. He must have some idea about Desmond’s flashes, and how his consciousness kept flashing back when Frank couldn’t keep to Faraday’s heading in the helicopter.

Of course, I’d love to hear his ideas about the whole ARG, too. He would totally be the type to decompile the Flash animations to find the secret codes. If he watched TV. That is the sticking point.

Premiere Week: Monday Night Review

The Big Bang Theory

I love all of the geek humor in this show. It was awesome that Leonard finally went on a date with Penny. He totally overthought the whole date, and shot himself in the foot in the end when it came to Penny’s insecurities about her intelligence. Doh. But it’s the type of thing a socially inept nerd would do.

It was hilarious that Howard wears silk shortie pajamas and sleeps on silk sheets. He’s just… such a creepy little horndog. And Sheldon… he’s just Sheldon. The funny milk? Really funny. But I’m not entirely sure that a handful of Valium would have that effect. I’ve taken Valium before, when I had my LASIK surgery. Maybe it would’ve been different if I’d taken a handful…

How I Met Your Mother

Can Ted really marry Stella? I hate to meta-think it, but can Sarah Chalke really do two sitcoms on competing networks? Or will that not be an issue because Scrubs is going to make a midseason run? It was so sweet when she told Marshall she was willing to pretend she likes Star Wars for the rest of her life.

Watching Barney act like a twitterpated schoolgirl was ROFL hilarious. The bimbo speech was legendary… but he still turned on the news to see Robin. Aww.

Heroes

Two hours of Heroes, and far too much to blog about. I would’ve needed to do a “Blogging While Watching Heroes” to get everything down.

I was right on, though, when it came to predicting the episode tonight. Tom tried to tell me that Sylar would’ve gotten Claire’s powers even if Peter hadn’t shot Nathan because it wouldn’t have changed the fact that she was at home. I flapped my hands like a butterfly… And lo and behold, the second half of the show was called “The Butterfly Effect.” I also called Nathan being the only one who could see Linderman, although I thought maybe he was hallucinating him. That’s still unclear.

I made an educated guess about Matt Parkman dropped off in Africa.

I didn’t, however, forsee the “I am your mother” reveal before she opened her mouth and started talking about her boys. I had a thrill of dread, because it seemed so cliche, but it happened anyways.

And I was a bit disappointed that Mohinder gave himself powers. I thought I remembered an interview where the show’s creators said that they wouldn’t give Mohinder powers because they wanted to have him as the observer. Then again, the LOST folks also claimed there wouldn’t be any time travel.

Still to Come

Thanks to DVR, I’ve got today’s All My Children, the Heroes “pregame” show, and Two and a Half Men for tomorrow night’s viewing.
