Young Sheldon: A New Home and a Traditional Texas Torture (2024) Season 7, Episode 12

F this episode

[1/10 · 17 June 2024]

I hate this episode so much, George Snr dying ruined everything.

Young Sheldon used to be a good show but this Season 7 has been nothing but mediocre.

Also, this is not the way to end off a TV show.

Worst final season of any TV show. Do not watch

This is the biggest load of crap I've ever seen on TV.

Why have a final season of 14 episodes and have the supposedly main protagonist be the most unlikeble person?

This is so much worse than the big bang theory which is actually a good show (even though it lost quality during seasons 8-11)

Young sheldon is really overated and just don't get the hype for it.

Young Sheldon (2017–2024)

Good show in seasons 1-3, decent 4th season, good again in 5-6 then mediocre season 7

[6/10 · 3 June 2024]

I want to like Young Sheldon, I really do but as a spinoff I find it's worse than "The Big Bang Theory"

Now Big Bang was a show that I absolutely loved in its first five seasons, really liked 6 + 7 but felt as if the show dipped in quality at the start of S8 and never really resurfaced.

But what about Young Sheldon, well here's my pros and cons

Pros: No laugh Track, characters are all likeable except for Sheldon and at times Mary

Cons: Sometimes I get the vibe that this show doesn't know what it wants to be, one moment it's following in Big Bang's footsteps and next they retcon. Also when your watching week to week, some storyline feel as if they take forever to move forward.

S6 was the best. Characters felt fleshed out and storyline were really mature.

Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu: Game of Masks (2018) Season 8, Episode 7

Most Overated episode of the entire show

[4/10 · 6 February 2024]

I like Harumi as a character, but I don't like her as a villain. Here's why

As great as Harumi's backstory is, her motivations made no flipping sense. If you think back to the S1 finale, The Ninja distracted the Great Devourer so that Garmadon could get the final blow cause that was the only way to destroy it (the weak spot on his forehead). So Harumi believing that the ninja are to blame for the death of her parents doesn't make a lick of sense. Also, why target Lloyd for THIS! If anything, she should've gone after Pythor since he's the one who released it in the first place. Lloyd was just a child. You can't be mad at someone who was like 8-10 years young at the time.

(I'm gonna get a lot of hate for this), but IMO, Harumi turning evil in Game Of Masks ruined her character. Not only does her motives not make sense, but in eps 1-6 of SOG, I shipped Lloyd + Harumi so hard to the point where I wanted them to end up in a relationship. When they didn't, I was disappointed. I know they wanted to move the plot forward by introducing the Quiet One who's working for the SOG to bring back Garmadon from the Departed Realm. (Which leads to my next point)

This is a very minor nitpick, so I can let it slide, but why wasn't Mr. E the Quiet One? It made perfect sense. But that's more the fault of Dead Man's Squall than GOM.

Stupid Crab scene at the end, which took up the last few mins of the episode

The last point I'm gonna make is that I feel like this is the point where Lloyd's character started to get worse. Idk what it is, but I guess I just feel bad for him. (The next few eps are an extent to this). But before Hunted where Lloyd felt endurance and became a leader again, in the last few eps of S8 Lloyd is quite possibly at his absolute worst in Masters Of Spinjitzu. He's basically depressed, but Harumi bullying him is making him an easy to manipulate person. Which in the case of Crystalized, is bad writing.

How I Met Your Father (2022–2023)

RIP OFF

[1/10 · 23 April 2023]

How I Met Your Father is an American sitcom created by Isaac Aptaker and Elizabeth Berger that premiered on Hulu on January 18, 2022. It is a spin-off of How I Met Your Mother. The series, which stars Hilary Duff, Christopher Lowell, Francia Raisa, Suraj Sharma, Tom Ainsley, Tien Tran, and Kim Cattrall, follows the main character, Sophie (Duff), and her group of friends in Manhattan. As a framing device, Sophie (Cattrall), in the year 2050, recounts to her unseen son the events that followed meeting his father in January 2022, and how they ultimately had him. In February 2022, the series was renewed for a second season, which premiered on January 24, 2023.

Why have a spin-off where the main characters of HIMYM have cameos??

How I Met Your Mother: Platonish (2013) Season 9, Episode 9

Best Episode Of Season 9 So Far...

[10/10 · 12 May 2022]

I am currently rewatching the series in 2022, when I haven't seen these episodes since they were airing in 2013. The first 8 episodes of Season 9 were mostly average (some good ones some boring ones). But Platonish was by far the best so far.

This episode was fantastic and a great blast from the past. Lily & Robin giving Barney challenges was hilarious, Barney picking up girls talking like a dolphin was also very funny. Ted stealing the Blue French Horn again. And Last but most importantly we saw how Barney met Tracey (The Mother).

This episode is a great demonstration of why I love "How I Met Your Mother"

The Big Bang Theory: The Opening Night Excitation (2015) Season 9, Episode 11

The best episode I have seen since 5X24 The Countdown Reflection

[10/10 · 15 October 2021]

Both the Star Wars & Shamy plots were very well done.

I also believe this is the best episode I've seen since Howard and Bernadette's wedding.

Season 6 is where Big Bang Theory's quality started to go downhill and by Season 8 it became somewhat mediocre. Season 9 started off rough with Leonard and Penny fighting again but got better when Shamy got back together. This episode brought back my interest in TBBT and the scene where Shamy have coitus is ICONIC.

The Big Bang Theory: The Matrimonial Momentum (2015) Season 9, Episode 1

By far the worst episode ever of The Big Bang Theory

[4/10 · 10 October 2021]

This is not only the worst episode of Season 9 but also of the entire series. This episode is an absolute mess.

Leonard and Penny were about to get married but NO Leonard told Penny he once cheated on her. Their wedding vowels were nice and sweet but that gets totally thrown out the window after they get back home.

To make matters worse Amy had broken up with Sheldon after 5 years of thier relationship moving at a snail's pace. Sheldon is an absolute simp is this episode. Amy clearly stated that she needs a brake from him and needs time to think but Sheldon just won't accept her decision pushing her around.

This episode is so awful I almost wanted to give it a 1 but I settle for 4.

The Big Bang Theory: The Einstein Approximation (2010) Season 3, Episode 14

Quite Possibly the best episode of TBBT I've ever seen... and airing date holds a special place in my heart

[10/10 · 9 October 2021]

This was the first Big Bang Theory episode I've ever watched and holds a very special place in my heart. Sheldon made this episode with his funny shenanigans especially with the ball pit scene.

Even more special is the fact that this episode came out on 1st February 2010 which was the best day of my entire life. I met two best friends Jesse and Cody, fell for my first crush Georgia, and 4th grade was when I became a lot more social.

I started watching TBBT when I was 9 and was at a time where How I Met Your Mother was in it's prime. For me Seasons 1-5 are the golden age of TBBT and Season 3 is by far the best of them all.

Bazinga!

The Big Bang Theory: The Euclid Alternative (2008) Season 2, Episode 5

This episode was comedy gold

[10/10 · 9 October 2021]

Everything works to absolute perfection in this episode. Every character is on point and there is some very funny scenes involving Sheldon with the driving simulation, at the DMV with the Octavia Spencer cameo & Sheldon admitting he's too evolved for driving.

Hilarious episode and an absolute classic 10/10.

The Big Bang Theory: The Workplace Proximity (2013) Season 7, Episode 5

The 2nd worst episode of season 7

[4/10 · 9 October 2021]

Not as bad as The Itchy Brain Simulation but still pretty disappointing. Season 7 is a great season but this episode is very blah.

Mean spirited episodes where Sheldon is more annoying than usual gives my rating of a 3/10.

The Big Bang Theory: The Itchy Brain Simulation (2013) Season 7, Episode 8

One of the worst episodes of Season 7

[4/10 · 9 October 2021]

The episode was so bland and very mean spirited.

Sheldon being mean to Leonard was downright cruel

The Raj and Lucy story didn't really go anywhere.

The Big Bang Theory (2007–2019)

I like Big Bang Theory.. Great in seasons 1-5, good in 6+7, 8 was mediocre, 9-11 average and a good 22th final season.

[7/10 · 1 October 2021]

Season 1 = 8/10: "It all started with a big bang" no pun intended. This was a great start to the series. Sheldon at his most chill/mellow before Bazinga/3 knocks etc, Leonard falling for girl next door Penny, Howard constantly flirting with the ladies and Raj being very shy around woman.

Season 2 = 9/10: My absolute favorite season of Big Bang Theory, this season is just perfect in so many ways. Every single character is very funny and the jokes flow so well. I love how Leonard and Penny are dating while also seeing others (Leslie,Stephanie,Stuart). Howard was somewhat creepy in this season but man was he funny. Highlights include Euclid Alternative, The Bad Fish Paradigm, The Bath Item Gift Hypothesis etc.

Season 3 = 9/10: I could so easily rank this as my favorite season as well and there's a strong argument that the show peaked here. By this time Sheldon + Penny have such a great dynamic and Leonard and Penny enter their first relationship. Howard meets his girlfriend Bernadette (who used to be a good character) . Highlights include Adhessive Duck Deficiency, Staircase Implementation, Pants Alternative etc.

Season 4 = 8.5/10: This was the season where Amy and Bernadette got introduced. Very enjoyable season with lots of entertaining episodes. Amy worked so well in the early days as a female Sheldon. Leonard broke up with Penny but started dating Raj's sister Priya and Howard and Bernadette get engaged. People say relationships ruined the show but I don't think S4 is a culprit of that.

Season 5 = 7.5/10: The Last Season of the golden age of The Big Bang Theory. Season 5 had highlights such as Howard + Bernadette getting married, Leonard + Penny getting back together.

I'll stop right here just to say that I really disliked Sheldon + Amy's first relationship. It was so toxic. She fell head over Heals for a man who's controlling against her. Not to also mention the controversial decision of Sheldon going from Asexual to wanting a relationship.

Season 6 = 7/10: Good season although the show is slowly starting to lose quality. Highlights include Penny saying I love you for the first time, Howard's journey to space and Raj overcoming his selective mutism. The big knock I have against S6 is the Raj/Lucy storyline which dragged and was just very uninteresting.

Season 7 = 7/10: Not much to say here other than this is where TBBT lost its magic. Highlights being Leonard getting engaged to Penny and Raj being more confident around women.

Season 8 = 5.5/10: This is where the show really jumped the shark. This is definitely the worst season of the show and is very hard to get through. Too sappy, soap opera feel and the comedy isn't as strong as before.

Season 9 = 6.5/10: definitely better than Season 8 and definitely got the show back on track but had a lot of problems. This season got off to a very rough start with Leonard telling Penny he cheated on her the night before the wedding (worst episode ever). However this season very much improved when Sheldon got back together with Amy (2nd relationship was miles better). Raj being torn between Emily & Claire was also a bad move and completely ruined his character. Howardette also becoming parents was a nice storyline too.

Season 10 = 6.5/10: A decent season. Highlights include Leonard/Penny having a proper wedding, Sheldon/Amy moving in together and later on Sheldon proposes to her in Princeton (big development for his character). Howard Wolowitz also becomes a dad to daughter Halley.

Season 11 = 6.5/10: A decent season. Highlights include Shamy getting married and Wolowitz's 2nd child. It was stupidly obvious at this point the writers had run out of ideas and TBBT had run its course. Sheldon was becoming less funny.

Season 12 = 7/10: I used to think this season was boring but I rewatched it and I actually thought it was a return to form. I guess the storylines were more interesting.

Leonard wanted kids for a long time while Penny didn't. Although her getting pregnant in finale was forced

Raj gets into an arranged marriage until Anu gets a job oversees leaving him to realize it's ok to be single. At this point the writers have been screwing with Raj's character for years, it's so tiresome

Sheldon Cooper and Amy Farrah Fowler won the noble prize in what was an incredible finale.

The Big Bang Theory: The Imitation Perturbation (2018) Season 12, Episode 6

Most Overrated Episode of Season 12

[6/10 · 1 October 2021]

I Seriously think an 8.3 is way too high. This episode is not that good. For starters Bernadette dares Howard to dress up as Sheldon for Halloween, fine; Sheldon does not instantly get the joke. Later Amy finds Sheldon is upset and decides you know what we'll get our revenge by doing the same to them.

This episode shows that you shouldn't dish it if you can't take it. Giving my rating of 6/10

*Decent at best*
