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

    • Hello, It would appear so, according to https://finance.yahoo.com/news/how-to-hide-your-home-on-google-maps-apple-maps-204146687.html. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky      
    • Hello, The Nvidia Founders Edition 3080 video card is approximately six years old, correct? Have you looked into whether replacement fans are available for it? Perhaps replacing those will improve cooling, especially when combined with cleaning the card's heatsink and replacing the thermal interface materials. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky  
    • Hello, While ~104 GB of space may seem generous (at least compared to other e-readers which have 8-32GB), I feel at this price point the device should have a Micro SDXC card slot for expansion, particularly if it allows audio books to be installed and played. I hope to see more reviews of 6" phone-sized e-readers on Neowin in the future. It will be interesting to see how they compare. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
    • Sandboxie Plus 1.17.8 / Classic 5.72.8 by Razvan Serea Run programs in a sandbox to prevent malware from making permanent changes to your PC. Sandboxie allows you to run your browser, or any other program, so that all changes that result from the usage are kept in a sandbox environment, which can then be deleted later. Sandboxie is a sandbox-based isolation software for 32- and 64-bit Windows NT-based operating systems. It is being developed by David Xanatos since it became open source, before that it was developed by Sophos (which acquired it from Invincea, which acquired it earlier from the original author Ronen Tzur). It creates a sandbox-like isolated operating environment in which applications can be run or installed without permanently modifying the local or mapped drive. An isolated virtual environment allows controlled testing of untrusted programs and web surfing. Sandboxie is available in two flavors Plus and Classic. Both have the same core components, this means they have the same level of security and compatibility. What's different is the user interface the Plus build has a modern Qt based UI which supports all new features that have been added since the project went open source. The Classic build has the old no longer developed MFC based UI, hence it lacks support for modern features, these features can however still be used when manually configured in the Sandboxie.ini. Sandboxie Plus 1.17.8 / Classic 5.72.8 release notes: Added added DisableCustomTitleOpt=[process,][y|n] to allow [#] sandboxie title markers on custom-titlebar windows (Delphi VCL, Qt, Electron) that were previously skipped to prevent DWM repaint CPU loops #5387 Changed updated bundled ImDisk driver to 3.0.2 #5419 Fixed fix Suppress logs for expected non-user SIDs #5422 SbieSvc.exe: SBIE2218/2219 error when run program as administrator #5417 fixed explorer.exe crashes in Application Compartment when Huorong Security is installed #5423 Download: Sandboxie Plus (64-bit) | 23.5 MB (Open Source) Download: Sandboxie Classic (64-bit) | 3.0 MB Links: Sandboxie Website | GitHub | ARM64 | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Hello, Christian Maas' XVI32 is a nice (and very small) hex editor. Speaking of hex editors, many years ago a colleague and I who both worked at Tribal Voice managed to edit a copy of the company's PowWow instant messaging client to make it behave better now that all of its lookup servers and other server-side tech was gone.  The program didn't support NAT (RFC-3022 was introduced in January 2001, the same time Tribal Voice was shuttered), but it still worked okay if you manually set up port-forwarding on your router.  The server at http://powwow.jazy.net/ hosts a copy (usual warnings about downloading and running untrusted code from random internet servers apply). I occasionally use some tools like Funduc Software's Search and Replace and Application Mover when I need to make mass-edits to text-based files or move programs with a hard-coded installation directories, respectively.  When I need to figure out the exact LCD panel inside of a laptop, EnTech Taiwan's Monitor Asset Manager is my go-to tool for that purpose. JD Design's website (now hosted on github.io) has a number of interesting freeware and shareware utilities.  I used to use their TouchPro utility to set the file timestamps on software I was mastering to match its version number (e.g., version 3.00 of a program had all of its files dates set to 3:00AM, and so forth). Karenware has a number of interesting freeware utilities, too. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
