THE PRESTIDIGITATION APPROXIMATION
4/5
Messing with Sheldon was GOLD! Everything about that worked. I didn't even realize until near the end that it was all being rigged cuz he never actually asked Sheldon to pick a card. Also, Sheldon's shirt was AWESOME! Astrosmash from Intellivision? What an obscure video game reference that only a small group of people would get but the ones who do, like me, go nuts!
Now, onto Penny/Leonard/Priya...
STUPID IDIOTIC DISAPPOINTING WASTE-OF-TIME GARBAGE STORYLINE
Last year when Priya visited Leonard he wanted more but she just wanted to use him. Now they're together and she's telling him to get rid of Penny even though Penny has shown NO INDICATION of any threatening behaviour which also means Penny won't see the rest of the guys.
So, that's bad enough and Leonard should have fought for his friend but he doesn't, and then when he tells Penny to take a hike she... DOES!? "Take care, Leonard" and walks away. WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON with these idiot writers? I DO NOT GIVE A SHIT about Leonard and Penny right now and they are destroying what should be a lot of "when will they get back together" discussion about how every episode they hint about feelings but something always happens to get between them.
I'm so cheesed right now I feel like a little girl.
