"The Vengeance Formulation" was another excellent episode of "The Big Bang Theory", 25 January 2011

Author: tavm from Baton Rouge, La.

In this episode of "The Big Bang Theory" from last season: Howard and Bernadette (Melissa Rauch) are on their third date when Bernadette asks if he's interested in a relationship or a one-night stand. Howard has to think it over. After discussing it with Leonard and Raj the next morning in the cafeteria of the school they all work, Sheldon comes by and announces he's going to be on NPR for an interview program when they do a live call-in. Actually, Kripke spoils the surprise by sarcastically mentioning it in his Elmer Fudd-speak way beforehand. Oh, and there's an appearance by "Battlestar Galactica"s Katee Sackhoff in a cameo...This was another hilariously and occasionally touching episode of "The Big Bang Theory". It's especially funny when Sheldon's interview happens and what he does about it. And it's nice to see Simon Helberg really stretch his characterization as Wolowitz. Plus his comic singing and piano playing here add a good touch to the proceedings. So that's a recommendation of the episode "The Vengeance Formulation".

Maybe it's just me but does anyone think that Leonard was being a complete jerk to poor Howard at the end. First off, if I had a girlfriend who got invited to do something with a roommate and he didn't even bother to mention it to me as a unspoken common courtesy I'd be hacked. Then if he tried to make her feel guilty about him or her not telling you, would really cross the line. Howard even asks Leonard "Why aren't you helping me?!?" He even asks "Why are you "Text Blocking" me?". (the equivalent of saying the crass term "C--- Blocking" in a nicer way. Leonard sarcastically asks Bernadette and Howard if he should leave the room. After Bernadette says no he says "Good, I wasn't going to anyway." with an arrogant smug smile. Nice. Finally Bernadette has the audacity to ask Leonard if she should accept Howard back. ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!??!! And then Leonard mentally tortures Howard for a while before he says yes to her but adding one final insult to Howard at the same time. My question is this. Why did Leonard have anything at all in Howard's relationship with Bernadette? Hmm, I don't ever remember Howard trying to "Text Block" Leonard when he was dating Penny. Why?

Well, this episode begins a little lame; I must admit. Sheldon isn't that funny in the first scenes, but once he's humiliated on the radio interview, he becomes hilarious just like always. Beside that, there is a well made scene that Howard imagines to be with Megan Fox in the tube, and it's particularly even funnier when she says "I'm not me" hahaha. In the end, Sheldon and his two friends make a revenge on Kripke and Sheldon makes a videotape a-la "Saw". The scene where Howard proposes to Berdanette is so ridiculous that makes it hilarious! We are able to feel ashamed for her and himself. Very good episode for a medium season, go see it!
