About to watch my first episode of Ths Big Bang Theory wish me luck!
Okay, so. One minute in, and I am already annoyed.
That is not how you write a joke about quantum mechanics. There is no joke here - Sheldon is just explaining how it works and then they throw a weak ass "I think it would be neat as a t-shirt."
#Futurama did a much better job with "no fair, you changed changed the outcome by measuring it!"
Already deeply regretting this.
Sheldon already playing the "hereditary IQ" and "genetic exceptionalism" card at the sperm bank - oh my god what the everloving fuck
Sounds like Elon Musk!
Smart people are capable of talking with naturalistic dialogue, too - I think the writers forgot this.
These two are not unlikable because they are nerdy, intellectual, or awkward.
It is because they are bad people.
Took a break to make some soup. Getting back in.
FUCK THERE ARE FOUR OF THEM
So - I like Penny. Show treats her like garbage though so far.
I heard the original pilot was worse.
I am instantly skeeved out by Howard.
Also, did Raj even have a line? Did I miss it? Why does he not get a line??
I am trying to be fair to this, I swear to God I am trying
I fucking *loathe* Sheldon for mocking Penny within earshot in the car like a catty little bitch.
I am going to give the second episode a try - it could be that this was just a weak episode to set the characters up. A second episode to see how dynamics are changed or variations on the expected writing beats might prove interesting.
I am not optimistic about this. Probably deluding myself on this one.
Okay, the argument about the physics in #SupermanTheMovie is... not quite funny, but relatable. I have had those discussions before.
The problem is that the conversation is not nearly nitpicky enough and doesn't get any more emotional as it should for comedic purposes. It is like they took a pair of comic podcasters and put them on Xanax and asked them to debate something.
Leonard is overly passive as a character. Don't tell me they are framing the show around him?
I have ads as I watch and... they made a sequel to #AChristmasStory?!
I don't care how socially awkward you are... breaking and entering is quite easy to understand as being a big fucking deal.
I gave #TheBigBangTheory two episodes, and it is not for me.
I am sure it is fine for some folks, but I just found myself annoyed. #KaleyCuoco is just about the only thing I like about the show, which kind of tells me why she seems to have had a decent career, and I haven't seen much of the rest of the cast recently.
I felt a lack of heart or satire in the show. This is in the bland middle of the spectrum of sitcom extremes I love.
@hpkomic There are moments in the show that are hilarious but overall, I struggled with the overall story and characters
@sgtgary could you recommend an episode that is a best encapsulation of the strengths of the show? I am deeply curious to see what is considered to be the best.
@hpkomic Sorry, I don't think I could. I watch some at random with my wife and didn't really track seasons or episodes. She likes it but I'm not really a fan
@sgtgary I am sure there is a list out there with suggestions.
@hpkomic Probably true. I give a 4 out of 10 lol
@hpkomic man, there are 12 seasons. I’ve been through all of them 3 times. You aren’t even qualified to have an opinion until season 3.
@BGAtlanta if you enjoyed the show, good on you. I did not.
Saying I am not allowed to have an opinion is cringe.
Be better.
@hpkomic it’s called hyperbole in humor. I do get now why you didn’t like the show! Cheers!
