02/03/2011: The Big Bang Theory – “The Thespian Catalyst”

02/03/2011: The Big Bang Theory – “The Thespian Catalyst”

From the very first scene of tonight’s episode, we learn there two of the most important rules regarding Sheldon Cooper. One, he should not be let out in public unsupervised, and two, he should not be allowed to dress himself. Decked out in a blue shirt, a yellow striped tie and a green-checked suit, Sheldon [...]

12-16-2010: The Big Bang Theory – “The Justice League Recombination”

Over the past few months, I’ve heralded The Big Bang Theory for boldly exploring new territories without actually jumping the shark. And yet, despite my happiness for this development, tonight the show pulled a complete 180-degree turn, making all the changes for naught. Tonight’s episode seemed eerily reminiscent of the first season: Penny was dating [...]

11/11/2010: The Big Bang Theory – “The 21-Second Excitation”

I have a very strong affection for movies. I wouldn’t classify myself as an addict (although my father would argue different), just a healthy, dedicated patron to cinema and the world surrounding it. As such, it warms the cockles of my heart anytime those around me express their love of movies, even if they’re fictional [...]

10/21/10: The Big Bang Theory – “The Desperation Emanation”

The Big Bang Theory’s original pilot was simpler than its current incarnation. Originally, the show only featured Leonard, Penny, Sheldon, and was terrible. While this original pilot is unavailable to the public (save for a three-minute clip available on YouTube), sources suggest the major problem was a reliance on tired sitcom roles; a male and [...]

10/15/10: The Big Bang Theory – “The Hot Troll Deviation”

We are now four episodes into the season, and with that, The Big Bang Theory departs from the previously established “Shamy” arc to address two other seemingly-abandoned plotlines. I’ve mentioned previously about the surprising rise in popularity of minor character, Bernadette. Originally intended for a five-episode stint, Bernadette (played by Melissa Rauch) was introduced as [...]

10/07/10: The Big Bang Theory: “The Zazzy Substitution”

I like to harp on Sheldon a lot in this column. He does stupid things under the guise of being smart, and he never learns from his mistakes, ever. But sometimes, like this week, we get reminders that he is human. This week’s episode begins with Sheldon and Amy further differentiating and separating themselves from [...]

09/23/10: The Big Bang Theory – “The Robotic Manipulation”

I once read somewhere online that all technology, no matter how insignificant, goes through four stages; how it can be made, how the public can use it, how the military can use, and how the pornograpy industry can use it. In tonight’s episode of The Big Bang Theory, sad sack and hopeless bachelor Howard Wolowitz [...]

The Dark Knight: What did you think?

After such a monumental weekend for Chris Nolan, Heath Ledger, Christian Bale and crew..what did you think about the film? The rest of the United States thought it deserved the top spot in 3 different record breaking categories. Did you? 18.5 million on Thursday night alone brought The Dark Knight into 1st place for highest [...]
