[TV] The Big Bang Theory S06E08

In what is probably the funniest episode so far this year, "The 43 Peculiarity" brought some surprises as well as some little disappointments along and set the tone for a really good rest of the season for this constantly funny and well produced series.

Talks of a parallel universe and Sheldon holding a secret were the two main elements at the beginning of the episode that i'm sure had most of us really intrigued, specially when the secondary story of Leonard being jealous of Penny's new classmate was not that surprising at all, as Leonard being doubtful about his ability to keep Penny's interest in him has been a constant throughout the whole run of the series.. but the climax that this situation lead to was definitely the cherry on the cake.

We also see that Alex (Sheldon's assistant) is converting her crush on Leonard into something a lot bigger, probably even infatuation, and it was truly funny to see him so clueless about her innuendos towards him (which were all sweet and super cute, by the way)… but of course Penny's accidental slip about her true feelings for Leonard was something that probably most fans have been awaiting for years, and it's gonna be really interesting how this revelation plays out in the upcoming episodes.

But the biggest surprise that, to me at least, turned into the biggest disappointment, was Sheldon opening a portal to a parallel dimension… my breath stopped for a second as i thought this series was gonna take a HUGE leap into new territory (by bringing science fiction into the show), but then was quickly corrected when realizing the whole thing was a prank on Sheldon's part. It would have been SO interesting to have such a new element to be developed in the series, but alas, it was not meant to be. In spite of that, i still loved this episode and i'm really looking forward to the next, to be aired on November 29th.

So, what did you think of this episode? Do you think that eventually adding science fiction to the plot would harm or improve the series? Please leave me a comment in the section below.
