The Einstein Approximation: A review of TBBT

The Big Bang Theory, the sitcom is a treat to watch. Just watched season 3 episode 14 and I have to say its going in my list of all time favorites. In this episode Sheldon (at his usual best) is trying to solve a physic's problem by trying to free his prefrontal cortex by occupying his basal ganglia with a menial job (just the way Einstein did by doing a job at the patent Office) . And ofcourse the menial job being at Penny's cheesefactory. The explanation he gives is "I asked myself what is the most mind-numbing, pedestrian job conceivable and three answers came to mind: a toll booth employees, an Apple store genius, and what penny does. Because I don't like touch other peoples' coins and I refuse to contribute to the devaluation of the word genius, here I am" (I just love this guy). And oh yes everytime he does "Bazinga" in the ball pit is absolutely hilarious. The surprise of the episode was Yeardley Smith:-)

The script of Big Bang is well researched and logical. Each dialogue is well conceived and is never out of context.

Please Watch the episode, it will make your day!!

And Oh yes... the classic " Scissors cuts paper. Paper covers rock. Rock crushes lizard. Lizard poisons Spock. Spock smashes scissors. Scissors decapitates lizard. Lizard eats paper. Paper disproves Spock. Spock vaporizes rock. And as it always has, rock crushes scissors"
