As the geeks discuss Superman and his Krypton sweat, scientist David Underhill arrives and asks Leonard to be his lab partner. Leonard is more than enthused. Penny arrives to give Leonard and Sheldon gifts so Sheldon feels he has to reciprocate. Penny also takes a shine to David and vice versa. It doesn't turn out well for her...Hilarious from beginning to end, "The Big Bang Theory" is on fire this season both in terms of quality and audience ratings. And there's a very funny yet touching bit involving Sheldon, Penny, and a napkin of Leonard Nimoy, Mr. Spock himself, at the end (though, regretfully, he doesn't appear). Having missed much of this season's episodes because of Hurricane Gustav and the renovations that entailed, I felt I had to watch this one to find out how things were going. I'm very glad I did. So all I want to say at this point is Merry Christmas to the cast and crew of "The Big Bang Theory" and hope the new year brings even more fans to this wonderful sitcom courtesy of the 20th smartest person in television according to the magazine "Entertainment Weekly": Chuck Lorre.
