Sooo much better than the last episode which was crap. This was based on nerdism again and not marriage and all. Kind of plot less with the imaginations of Leonard and Penny but the boner jokes were hilarious. Thats the old Sheldon we love and not the new Sheldon who has a girlfriend he actually likes. It seemed like Penny was disappearing from the show and this should hopefully get her back. We need more roommate agreements and Sheldon shenanigans Slowly getting back on track. Lets hope the show takes off with its same old brilliant humor and not go in the direction that will end it quickly .... Love the show and hope it can go on for a few more seasons.

The Recombination Hypothesis
studioAT12 April 2024
As it reaches 100 episodes here I don't think there can be any denying that 'The Big Bang Theory' has developed as a show in that time.
It's no longer just the 'beauty and the geeks' premise that was the mainstay of the comedy in the early years of the show, it has developed into something more.
Has it been plain sailing? No. Has it taken a long time for the show to settle into itself? Yes.
It's getting there though, and the addition of Bernadette and Amy has been a big part of that.
This episode paid massive service to the on/off relationship between Penny and Leonard which has been the lynchpin of the show for a lot of those 100 episodes, and it was all very nicely played in a very clever way.

I most definitely loved this "The Recombination Hypothesis" ep of "The Big Bang Theory"

OMG! This was the most hilarious ep of "The Big Bang Theory" that I've seen so far! And it's only the one hundredth! I mean, Sheldon says "wood" and "erection" and doesn't get the double entendres that Howard and Raj obviously do! Anyway, the whole ep has Leonard and Penny agreeing to a dinner date and the results of the aftermath. Both Bernadette and Amy approve but for different reasons and neither can agree on what kind of clothing Penny should wear. Oh, and Sheldon got his Spock cardboard cutout...but it's not the classic one but the latest one, if you know what I mean. So on that note, "The Recombination Hypothesis" ep of "The Big Bang Theory" is very highly recommended.
I Really Enjoyed This

There were great little snippets that kept me going. The fact that Leonard pushed Penny into a date. The dinner itself and its implications. The 3 a.m. Text. Benadette line about functioning smallpox. Sheldon making Leonard go back to the convenience store to get beef jerky. And, we find out something we didn't realize. Just a lot of fun.
