You guys are finding stuff that isn't there.

Raj only hits on women when he is drunk. Sheldon might seem like he is more stupid, but it's the kind of stupid where he is too smart to understand it, not that he actual is stupider.

Yeah, Sheldon is slightly different than he was in the first season but it's not a big deal.

Did anyone else think that the solution to the problem he was working was really obvious anyone with any knowledge of quantum physics would be very aware of wave particle duality and the de broglie wavelength. He wouldn't have even thought about it for a second.

No he is not (at least not anymore).

Some episodes behind when he went with Sheldon on a party and they hooked up he started talking and hiting on the girl that approached them by having just ONE sip of his drink.He was drunk after one sip? Also later on when they go to Sheldon's aprtment and he is singing while Sheldon is playing the guitar is he drunk there too? I dont recall showing him drinking anything before that and no it is not implied.

However they seem to realize they did a stupid thing on this episode and they are slowly turning it back with regards to Raj's problem about speaking in front of women.

As i said there is a definetely a change in all characters (some more some less) and whether someone likes the show after that is strictly his opinion.This though does not change the facts.

I personally stil find it enjoyable but i would prefer the characters to remain exactly as on Season 2 and on the other stuff less double dating BS and more geeky stuff as this is what made the show to have such a success.

It's called character development, people change over time - so will characters. It keeps it fresh.

And 0nyx - in the episode that Mr. Rappy posted they show that alcohol is just a placebo with Raj :)

andrew_f completely agree. :)

All i am trying to say is that you cant just change his character (no matter if someone agrres or not) in a crucial way and all of a sudden turning a very shy guy (for 2 seasons now) into a guy that tries to persuade his friends to go out with him in order to hit on girls.I think one will agree that this is going from one end to the other.

Completely agree on the alcohol placebo thing though.I am mostly reffering to his character.

A minor traffic infraction lands Sheldon in court in the March 1 episode of The Big Bang Theory, but it?s what Jim Parsons calls his ?lack of delicacy with the English language? that prompts the judge to throw him in the pokey (thus causing him to miss meeting his idol, comic-book legend Stan Lee.)

EW

I don't think that's fair at all. His character isn't stupid, he's sleep deprived and that can really mess someone up. He had this complex issue and was losing sleep over it. He said, what, he had gone two or three days without sleep.

I have read that anymore than three days without sleep will cause hallucination, a few more days causes paranoia to set in and eventually it'll lead to death. Death isn't a direct result, but without sleep you can become extremely ill which then can lead to death.

The writers did a decent job of writing someone without several days worth of sleep. I've tried going to three and I couldn't make it. I was told that I acted like I was drunk after only 36 hours.

A few years ago I couldn't sleep (normally it lasts only for a few hours, this lasted for 4 days)

By the 3rd day, my perception of time was non-linear.

No he is not (at least not anymore).

Wasn't there one episode when he was flirting with a girl, and somebody pointed out the drink he had was non-alcoholic (and when he realised, he stopped being able to talk to the girl)

That would suggest it's a psychological thing :p

While the ball pit scene was funny, it went on a tad too long and also they are really starting to wear out the "bazinga" catch phrase. It wasn't really that funny to begin with and now it's just annoying. Another thing, I think the show really lost something when they started getting girlfriends. At this rate it's going to turn into just another generic sitcom, like a nerdy version of Friends.

Oh yeah, and bring back Sara! :)

andrew_f completely agree. smile.gif

why, maybe you're a stud and girls just drop at your feet at a single hand gesture.. but for me back in my ealier 20s i was so shy/quiet people didnt even know i was in the room. but a change of job, 5 very hot admin girls took me under there wings and before long i was out every weekend. they were my wing girls.. as before then my so called wing man (best friend) was anything but useful.

which is probably why i love BingBang Theory i can relate with the characters i know people like them.

My fave episode was the one where it opens up with the World of Warcraft and Sheldon get the Sword of (whatever).. that whole segment mirrored the conversation the Tech chaps at work were having daily... to say i ****ed myself laughing and falling of my chair was an understatement...

long may BBT live :)

nice little story u got there .

Doesn't chnage the fact that they had a change in Raj's character which i understand you agree there has been a change judging by your story.

Again: Not talking about the alcohol now.

Can't wait for the new episode.

then surely you believe Penny character as been changed to allow to now fancy Howard, or that Howard is less geeky that he can get Penny. Maybe you believe no character can grow/change over a period of time and that EVery series the characters at the end of the shows life time are identical to how they started in the Pilot episode? i would dare you to name 1 show that is the case.

As was mentioned before Raj found he grew in confidence when he was drunk and it was pointed out to him.. now he thinks thats the way to go.. doesn't matter he got alcholic beer, he still thought it was real. amazing what the placebo effect can do.

anyways.. still a fabulous show to watch.. and can't wait for the next one

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts by Paul Hill The founder of the Linux kernel has just announced the availability of Linux 7.1. This is a stable version of the kernel that will now be tested by various Linux distributions before it is shipped to users through update managers. Some users, like those on Debian, for example, might not get it for a long time, if at all, while Fedora users can expect it in the near future. With Linux 7.1 out on time, the merge window for Linux 7.2 is now open, giving contributors the opportunity to send in major new features that have been waiting for the last two months. Torvalds warned that he is currently travelling and will be in another timezone, so timing for the merge window may be irregular due to timezone differences and limited internet access. Torvalds said that he has already fetched early pull requests to allow him to do some offline work, but the travel could still cause disruption. Right now, he is not planning to extend the release, but did consider it. He said he might later regret not extending, though. In terms of this last week of development for Linux 7.1, Torvalds said there were no major or alarming changes. This week consisted mostly of smaller driver updates to GPU, networking, and sound, networking fixes, trace tooling fixes, and misc minor fixes. The shortlog this week lists fixes for driver bugs, memory leaks, I/O and USB fixes, networking and RDMA fixes, DRM/graphics fixes, and tooling and verification improvements. Specific fixes include USB series heap-overflow and buffer overflow fixes, and multiple use-after-free, memory-leak, and refcount corrections across subsystems such as i2c, zram, gpio, and net. There are fixes for graphics drivers, including amdgpu, i915, and virtio, as well as hypervisor and virtualization tweaks affecting mshv, vmbus, and hyperv. According to Phoronix, anyone running Linux 7.1 should look out for the new NTFS driver, Intel FRED for improved performance on Panther Lake and future CPUs, faster graphics with Intel Arc Battlemage, and improvements for older AMD Radeon GPUs. If you are running Linux on your computer and everything is fine, then you don’t need to worry about updating to Linux 7.1 as a priority; just wait for it to be pushed to you. If you have tried Linux on hardware but it didn’t work properly, trying again with a distro that uses Linux 7.1 could cause Linux to work on your machine, thanks to the new hardware support.
