1. Bert gets so fed up with Sheldon that he hits him with a small rock. Then Sheldon joins Enchanted Bunny floating around in the afterlife of Howard and Bernies hot tub.
   Gino the Neutrino wins the Noble Prize for sheer hand puppet magic. Besides why should Sheldon win the noble anyways ? How about Sheldon gives a TED talk first.

2. Is Ruchi, Lesli Winkle, without the meanness ? Lets not see Ruchi again. Or Raj's Romance Runaround. Now Lemons after reading your question it sounds less like a question and more like an online dating profile. Be careful or you might end up on a date with Stuart, having a latte and being described as a "dynamite lady". "Wonder Filled Woman ? Have you been inhaling helium again ? Seriously Ruchi if you want magic, then what is that behind your ear Ruchi? Why its your card. Is your card the 2 of hearts ? Because there is two of us and you have my heart Ruchi. Lets get married right now. Wait where are you going Ruchi ? Its time to order some lobster again. Darn.

Umm...you're waxing poetic about a dead Sheldon in an afterlife hot tub with an Enchanted Bunny, and you're accusing ME of inhaling something? Wonder-filled means I try to see the awe and wonder in things, and still try to be amazed by the world around me to the extent that a grown, no-longer-innocent woman can be. (I can be found on local wild-flower covered hillsides twirling and singing regularly.) Also, I fly around in an invisible jet.

And I kinda liked Raj in his undies, hair tousled, ruggedly ripping the meat out of a lobster shell with a desperate gaze in this eyes. He was kind of like a Richie Rich caveman.

As previously mentioned, I really liked this episode. Even more so after a second viewing. And after watching it I have one prediction and one opinion. I'd love to know your thoughts on them.

1.Prediction: Sheldon will win the Nobel Prize in Physics through his work in geology. Think about it, even though I'm sure it wasn't purposeful, it's as if the whole series has set it up this way. His years of disdain for geology plus his never-ending quest for the prize, it would be absolutely perfect. I suspect that Bert will take him back in a future episode, and that Leonard will lose interest (if he was really interested to begin with- he may have just been trying to get Sheldon's goat). I mean, if they're able to prove dark matter with this work, that's Nobel prize-worthy, and certainly related to physics. Wouldn't it be something if geology was the key he needed to unlock the door to his dreams? Ha!

2.Opinion: Ruchi is too cold and is not endearing. The way she described love as solely a biochemical reaction and the fact that this is the lens through which she views it really turned me off. Yes, I realize there is truth in what she said, but I definitely don't view my emotions and other bodily reactions in terms of their scientific background. And I'm a science major! Sheesh. Then I'd just be a robot-like vessel of predictable biological responses. No thank you! I'm a red-blooded, complex, life-loving, adventure-seeking (as long as it ends by my bedtime and does not involve escalators), wonder-filled woman! (Again, I'm not saying that this is not part of the reality, but it's not how I choose to view it.) And I do think there is something to romance that goes beyond biochemistry, if you take it there. Sheesh again! Let yourself enjoy the magic Ruchi!

Agree with almost EVERYTHING you said, Lemons. Sheldon has some Irony coming his way either by winning the award in the science he has no respect for or missing out on it entirely because he chose not to work with a Geologist

2) I love Rushi because her cynicism echoes mine from a few years ago. However I do believe she will end up breaking Raj's heart; people who stand firmly behind the idea that love is completely biochemical have tendencies to show fleeting interest and be serial monogamists.

I got to thinking about this later Z, and I'm afraid I came off as too Mary Poppins-ish. I get sad/grumpy/annoyed sometimes, too. I'm just not robotic. Maybe that's what we should call her, "Robotic Ruchi".

And I meant to tell you before that I agree- she is like Leslie Winkle minus the meanness. Which is why I believe she is falling flat with some fans just like Leslie did.

1.I hope it's the former rather than the latter. I think it would be very deflating to see a Nobel prize won for this work, and Sheldon not be a part of it after all these years. The Sheldon-haters will disagree, but I'd be disappointed. Maybe both Leonard and Sheldon will work with Bert and they can all win.

2.I understand, and applaud you for standing up for her. I just don't identify with her personally, and agree- she's gonna break his heart. I do wonder if she's less scientific in the boudoir, though, and able to let go and give into absolute pleasure. Where does she draw the line?

But would Sheldon be willing to win the Nobel as part of a group? Or would he rather not win, on his own? Remember the Physics Bowl, just for one example.

I think with the Nobel prize he'd be willing to take it however he could get it. Especially if they called out his name first. And listed his name first in every publication about it. Etc, etc.

Maybe. And Cooper does come alphabetically before Kibbler (Bert) or Hofstadter (Leonard). But they probably would put Bert first anyway as "lead," and even if it were alphabetical Sheldon would rather it be "Sheldon Cooper And Team." or Sheldon Cooper And Minions, or something. Maybe Sheldon Cooper And Oompa-Loompas.

I think Bert is too tall to be an Oompa-Loompa, but I noticed yesterday that he bears a striking resemblance to this fella: Bert's doppelganger

See? Now flip back and forth real fast: Bert

Robotic Raj is what we have to as he is so predictable in everything he does with women.
Also you don't have to apologize for anything Lemons. I am not sure what you said was Mary Poppins-ish. You sounded more like a self help book that Raj should read or has already. Eat, Pray, Lemons ? I would really like that the Powers That Be put a hold on this Raj looking for love bit. I wonder if Ruchi will go the way of the cleaning woman as well as the parade of Raj romances of the past.

That's a very good point. It has crossed my mind that we may just mysteriously never see Ruchi again.

Maybe Bert could be like Will Ferrell's "Elf" of the Oompa-Loompas. Just paint him orange, and it's all good.

I like him better as Sweetums.

Sheldon tired of waiting for his Noble decides to just have is own Physics awards to give out. The Cooper !
