I think I laughed the hardest when Sheldon starting singing from Fiddler on the Roof. But I think I liked the kiss at Leonard’s birthday the best. He just looked so surprised but it seemed so natural. Plus he’s just a little bit adorable. And you’re so right Essaytch, I want my own Sheldon! No joke, I’m seriously awaiting my own little group of geeky friends. They MUST be around here somewhere…

OH, and bad pickup lines can sometimes be really funny! As along as it’s clear the guy wasn’t seriously using them but it was a joke to highlight how much he’d NEVER use them in real life. Sometimes hard to do, but effective if done in a charming way!

My favorite scene from BBT so far is when Sheldon and Leonard are talking about time travel in the cafeteria at work. Aaaaah, geek heaven.

Yes, if you have Shiva and Ganesh, you’ve pretty much got the whole thing sown up. But then, Kuthrapali is probably my favorite of the group, even though I’ve been told I’m closer Leonard than I’d like to admit.

I like to collect bad pick-up lines…but I can’t imagine a situation where I (or anyone else) would actually USE one.

Of course, now, if you ever do meet me for gelato at Bridgeport, I’m gonna have to try REALLY hard not to blurt one out turrets style.

My sense of humor just runs that way.

The best scene in BBT so far is either the kiss at the end of the Halloween Party (“yeah, that’s what you saw. That’s how we roll in the Shire!”) OR the kiss at the end of the season finale (“The Cat’s Alive”).

Probably the most quotable show on TV right now. My absolute favorite. Behind Doctor Who.

The sad part was that I actually was enjoying talking to the guy before he turned into ‘that guy.’ He was interesting until he started trying to pick me up and stopped just being himself. But then, pick up lines NEVER work on me. As soon as it becomes obvious that a guy is trying too hard, I immediately lose interest. I want a real connection with someone, not just a pick up line.

Maybe the problem is that guys (and girls) don’t trust that just being themselves is enough, so they resort to the cliches. If just being yourself isn’t enough for the other person to be interested, they’re probably wrong for you anyway!

I have sat with friends at a diner and discussed the military implications of orcs, super powers and the intervention of Gods. Judge me as you will.

But even I know when to look in to a woman’s eyes and when not to (and I’ve already written about what happens when that gets crossed up).

You give me hope that hopeless geeks might actually be able to strike up a conversation with a beautiful woman in a pub. Now if we could just not SUCK at having that conversation…
