http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/10/09/THE-BIG-BANG-THEORY----The-Fuzzy-Boots-Corollary.aspx I’ll give this to “The Big Bang Theory”: the show is definitely finding its niche. This week offered what I’d say is the best intro segment, a chuckle-worthy look at the nerd-squad engaged in a high-stakes game of World of Warcraft, complete with treachery, greed and some online backstabbing. The main plotline deals with Leonard (Johnny Galecki) stumbling upon crush Penny (Kaley Cuoco) making out with one of her boy-toys—an injection of reality the show badly needed; up until this point Penny had been virtually asexual. Lovelorn Leonard is crushed. To win back his confidence he proposes to his friends that he will ask out his lab partner at work. The lab partner is played by Sara Gilbert, Galecki’s on-screen girlfriend from “Rosanne” (Inside joke alert!) Leonard nerdishly requests a date from Gilbert, who in equally nerdish fashion opts to cut right to the kiss. The result: no ‘bio-chemical reaction’; the girl is not interested in him. Leonard is further crushed. After a period of lamenting (singing emo songs and planning to buy a cat,) Leonard, provoked by Sheldon (Jim Parsons,) does what he should’ve done in the first place: knocks on Penny’s door and asks her out. Well… sort of. Too nervous to confront the issue directly, Leonard leads Penny to believe that their date is actually a group outing with the nerd squad. en-US Critics Rant info@criticsrant.com Subtext Version 1.9.4.0 http://www.criticsrant.com/images/default_gravatar_bullhorn.png http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/10/09/THE-BIG-BANG-THEORY----The-Fuzzy-Boots-Corollary.aspx 77 60 http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/10/09/THE-BIG-BANG-THEORY----The-Fuzzy-Boots-Corollary.aspx#1693 great show so far. keep up the good work WAVELYN http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/10/09/THE-BIG-BANG-THEORY----The-Fuzzy-Boots-Corollary.aspx#1693 Tue, 09 Oct 2007 23:04:35 GMT http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/10/09/THE-BIG-BANG-THEORY----The-Fuzzy-Boots-Corollary.aspx#1694 a real funny show. keep up the good work WAVELYN http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/10/09/THE-BIG-BANG-THEORY----The-Fuzzy-Boots-Corollary.aspx#1694 Tue, 09 Oct 2007 23:05:53 GMT
