Sorry I dropped the ball on this one so early. Spent the weekend with a visiting friend so I didn't have a lot of time to watch DVDs and blog.
Of course, that's assuming anyone even noticed.
Anyhow, tonight I watched an ep from the second season of The Big Bang Theory. There are really only two stories in this, but it feels like it'll be difficult to explain. Guess we'll just see what happens.
Penny asks where she can put the Christmas presents she bought for Sheldon and Leonard. This, naturally, panics Sheldon who spends the rest of the show shopping for the ideal gift for her. Eventually he buys an assortment of soap baskets and plans to give her the appropriate one once he's opened his gift and checked its price online. On the other side, Penny starts hanging out with a visiting scientist and doing all the things with him that she never had time to do with Leonard.
I like the setup here, since it appeals to everyone. There's a Christmas story and another segment in the Penny/Leonard saga. The opening is another discussion about Superman (how does he get Kryptonian sweat out of his costume?) that would fit in any ep while the end is the opening of gifts. Won't ruin it for you, but nothing Sheldon could buy would ever match up to what Penny got him.
But for some reason, this just doesn't scream Christmas to me. Maybe it's just my love for the show, but this feels right at place in the DVD rotation any time of the year. I can't imagine saving this just for Christmas. Great show, but no holiday special.
