12x10 The VCR Illumination

Howard is freakin hilarious... The most cartoon of characters on the show

I cried in the last Sheldon scene...

Laughed a few times. I wonder if Big Bang writers got the watch trick from MASH.

This episode was actually quite nice, to the point of even the always annoying Bernardette being somewhat funny as Howard's pageant mom (but only slightly). I always enjoyed the magician persona of Howard, so it was nice to see them exploring that side of him again (and I was not expecting that final act to go that way!).

Also, I absolutely loved the whole fall and rise of Sheldon Cooper, that turnaround regarding his theory after watching an old recording of a casual speech of his dad was delightfully hopeful and sweet. I truly enjoyed the uplifting tone that oozed from the show at that time.
Young Sheldon's short participation, on the other hand, was absolutely forgetful, I was expecting more from that scene.

The old recording that got erased with a football match on top. So predictable!
Also saw the in fact our theory is still applicable after a “big” revelation. Do they really needed Sheldon’s dad speech to find out their theory wasn’t that incorrect after all. I mean again, I’m not the scientist Sheldon is supposed to be but the first thing I would try to do is find the loophole in the other publication.

I personally disliked Wolowitz’s storyline. Mostly because of Bernadette and because everything was super predictable.

Anyway, a pretty forgettable episode for me. Hope they do better for the following and last episodes.

I laughed twice during the whole episode... BBT has fallen off.

Stuart is the best why is he not a main character? :/
