I liked this episode more than last but I do have a few problems. I hate that the astronouts are bullying Howard. It's not funny, just sad. And they have to decide what to do about Penny and Leonard. either they stay together or they give leonard a real, nice and sweet girlfriend for once.

But the real disappointment is Penny's and Leonard's relationship. On this, I'm 100% with you Lindsay. Why did they put them together again if this was the result? I was so excited last season, to see them back together, but now I wonder why Penny said yes in the first place if nothing had changed since they broke up (hell, nothing has changed since they first got together). Sheldon seems to be more emotionally advanced than her, even if he stole the line from Spiderman.
But now she stays with him for what? Pity? Seriously? I'd prefer they just break up and Leonard can finally find a girl that will care about him at least as much as he cares about her. Between Penny who's emotionally retarded and Priya who made him ashamed of who he was, please give the guy a break.
Oh, and a funny line from Leonard this episode: "Which specialist did your mother take you too?" (I thought it was a nice twist on the very used line "I'm not crazy, my mother had me tested"). But yeah, Leonard is now

I didn't realize the episode wasn't that funny, I was so touched by Sheldon tonight. Yes, him keeping a secret and having trouble with it has been done before, but the reason why he has trouble with it is different: it's not because he physically can't keep a secret, but because he worries about Leonard. It was so obvious when he looked at Leonard (my eyes already got misty here). And then him saying "Please, don't hurt my friend"... I nearly cried there.
But yeah, it wasn't a very funny episode. Howard being bullied in space, what's new? That was boring. And the Stewart-replacing-Howard jokes fell flat for me too, but I'm excited to see how Howard will react to this change. Stuart probably won't replace Howard in the group, but well by Raj's side. WIth Howard being married and Raj being single, Raj has found a new wingman for all those activities he did with Howard, so I'm excited to see Howard's reaction to that ^___^

Am I the only one that thinks it is SOOOO time for Leonard to find a girl who does actually care about him?? If they break them up again, I might just have to quit watching the show. Why EVEN get them back together, it is beyond annoying. I think part of the reason I still watch the show is because I am waiting for Sheldon to finally break down and sleep with Amy, that would be hysterical to see. The writers should just knock it off w the P/L story already!!!!

I agree with the Penny & Leonard thing. I would like to see them both happy together for the rest of the show. Why not? And might as well make Raj gay. The writers have been hinting at it enough already. That would be funny to see how the rest of the cast handle that turn of events.

Very disappointed so far!! Why did the writers bring Leonard and Penny back together to break them up. Annoying to say the least! I am not sure I will be sticking this season out.

I agree. Are we tired of the series and/or is the series not trying anymore? I really only liked the Sheldon/Penny scene.

I agree 100% with you review!

i don't know, you guys, i really liked this episode!

I was extremely disappointed last week...and even more this week. Hope it get's better!

I absolutely agree. This episode was annoying to watch. Except I disagree with you on the coffee and creamer part- I actually thought that that and the f-loops face were the only funny parts of the episode...very sad...

Yes. It isn't as funny so far this season. I thought maybe I set my expectations too high Leonard seems especially flat. He didn't have one funny line tonite.
