The Big Bang Theory (TV Series) The Vartabedian Conundrum (2008) User Reviews

One of my favorites

[RONY-3 · 8/10 · 26 January 2013]

This is one of my favorite episodes in the series. I liked the part when Sheldon was telling Leonard that Stephanie moved in and Leonard tells him that's not true. And Penny shows him that she has indeed moved in and he gets shocked when he realizes they're correct. And Leonard tried to tell her that he feels they're moving too fast but she breaks down when she thinks that he's breaking up with her that he not only can't tell her, they do it. Eventually Howard advised him to text her and he did. At first we thought they're still together but she would not appear again. Too bad. I really liked her but I guess they felt that Leonard is suppose to be with Penny. And an added bonus, she was being hounded by Sheldon don't constantly check him out because he believes he's sick. In the end she told him he has a condition that requires him to stop talking which he does. In the end, took a page out Stephen Hawking's book and used his computer to communicate.

Not That Interesting

Very few funny lines. It's really about a sad Leonard trying to get a little alone time, but being full of fear. This could be any two bit comedy and doesn't move things along that much.

The Vartabedian Conundrum (#2.10)

Leonard's girlfriend moves in without him realizing it. This was a fun idea and i loved how both Sheldon and Penny showed it to him. Him trying to move apart was also very fun to watch. Sheldon sure wasn't happy about him, he surely enjoyed her giving him medical check ups

The Vartabedian Conundrum was another fine episode of "The Big Bang Theory"

For the past few days, I've been catching up on past second season episodes of "The Big Bang Theory" to prepare for tomorrow night's third season premiere. While there are still some eps I've yet to watch, after this one I'll just get to the season finale since the remaining ones I either haven't taped, couldn't find on the internet, or just can't find a place where they're selling the season 2 collection. We're seeing Dr. Stephanie Barnett examining Sheldon who thinks he has some kind of tumor. She humors him. Penny arrives in her nighties and startles Stephanie who hadn't met her before this time. Then after Stephanie leaves, Sheldon discusses with Leonard about living arrangements with her moving in which then startles Leonard since he didn't realize Stephanie had done so...This was another hilarious episode and a poignant one with Leonard discussing with Penny at the laundry room what's important in a relationship. Oh, and the end scene with Sheldon and Penny was just divine! And as usual, Howard and Raj provide their own moments. Now I'm going to watch last season's finale...

Loved the opening, reminded me of something that happened to me

[MiketheWhistle · 10/10 · 24 November 2020]

I loved the opening when Penny comes to get coffee. When I was in college, my family visited for family weekend and while they were there the girl from across the hall (who was very attractive) come over to ask if we got our paper and all she was wearing was a kinda of long tshirt. Now what's funny is that I didn't even remember what she was wearing until the story was related to me some years later and even then only vaguely recall the picture.

And how Stephanie performs her lets remove Sheldon's vocal cords was absolutely great too. Leonard and his pants was really get too. So overall this was one of my favorite eps.
