It's one of our favorite shows. I liked the beard too. I didn't think it was the funniest episode, but it wasn't the worst either. I don't think they can ever top the episode where Sheldon was sick.
My favorite parts were all Raj last night, particularly when he was trying to get Penny to admit she loves Leonard. And the awkward dancing moment at the Comic book store.
DH even said Howard looked great! He said it was the lack of bangs that the cap really highlighted his face.
The show was eh! I hope they are just working up for a better episode each week.
Raj needs a group of girlfriends. Like how "Bones" has different assistants that take turns in episodes. I think that would work perfectly for him instead of a permanent girlfriend and or boyfriend.
Glad the show is back, funny episode but not in my top ten.
Howard looked good with the beard, loved Amy Farrah Fowler, and the whole bit between Raj and Stewart at the comic book store.
I wouldn't necessarily think that means anything...there have been similar, minor sexual references between Raj and Howard, I'm guessing this is just an attempt to continue the same type of humor. Both characters have previously been with women....not that people's view of their sexuality can't change but it just seems uncharacteristically unrealistic for the show to suddenly have them both decide they are gay/bi. I think the "I could do worse" comment was more of a self-deprecating reference to how his love life tends to go.
