The Psychic Vortex (#3.12)

[ComedyFan2010 · 8/10 · 24 July 2019]

The best part was Raj taking Sheldon as a wing man with him. It is absolutely hilarious how he has this woman was on a date with him. And how he left her in his room while went to sleep in Leonard's room. Leonard having some fights with Penny because of her going to a psychic was also pretty amusing.

leonard's a genius?

I absolutely hated it when leonard laughed at penny's beliefs. He's supposed to be a genius? The sheldon and raj story line is a 10, but i'm finding the leonard character pedantic and unappealing. "one of us has to keep an open mind." He should've done that before he laughed at her.

When Penny admits to Leonard she is seeing a psychic, he rattles her cage, causing her to sit silently through a nice dinner with Howard and Bernadette. Raj and Sheldon go to a faculty mixer and come back with two women (on was Winnie on The Wonder Years). Sheldon seems incapable of attraction to women.

Good night, puny human!

Probably, this is the best TBBT episode ever. Here, we learn that Sheldon is completely asexual, in the best scene of this season.

When Leonard and Howard go out in a double date, Raj is left in the apartment with Sheldon. Despite Sheldon's reluctance, they go out (after, of course, Raj gives Sheldon a Green Lantern lantern). They meet two geeky girls at a university mixer, and, later on, we see all of them together playing Rock Band.

Near the end, Sheldon agrees going on a second date (after, of course, Raj gives him Hulk gloves signed by Stan Lee). There's one girl who, apparently, is interested in Sheldon. Then, looking to the watch, Sheldon goes to sleep, but leaves the viewers and the girl surprised, in a scene that is easily the best of this season.

P.S.: The more I watch TBBT,the more I think about a crossover between this show and Two and a Half Men. Have you ever thought how would it be to see Howard and Alan picking up girls on bar?

"The Psychic Vortex" is another in a series of hilariously great eps of "The Big Bang Theory"

[tavm · 10/10 · 30 January 2011]

In this episode of last season's "The Big Bang Theory": Howard and Leonard are double-dating with Bernadette and Penny meaning Raj is stuck with Sheldon, who'd rather stay inside with the internet instead of going anywhere Raj suggests...until Raj gives him his Green Lantern lantern to take with him. In the car, Penny and Leonard end up arguing when he questions her belief in psychics though since Bernadette and Howard stay out of it, those last two have a chance to go to eighth base. Oh, and while Raj gets lucky, Sheldon also has a chance with a woman who takes interest in the lantern. Question is, will he take it? Okay, if you know about the characters, you can probably guess what happens here. The only thing I'll say is this is yet another hilarious ep of "The Big Bang Theory" in a season chock full 'o' them. So on that note, "The Psychic Vortex" comes highly recommended.

Even the always welcome sight of Danica McKellar can't lift another so-so episode of the show.

I didn't like the Leonard/Penny plot, and the Sheldon/Raj one wasn't much better.

Ok, but not an episode I'd rush to see again.

Average BBT episode

[thomasgouldsbrough · 5/10 · 11 March 2022]

It has it's fair shame of funny moments, but it's not particularly amazing. The funniest segment was probably Sheldon rejecting Martha, when she was so obviously into him.
