The Big Bang Theory – A little chaos, and out goes the Roommate Agreement

Has Sheldon ever had a breakdown like this before? I know he’s gone off the reservation from time to time, but bongos and sleep-overs? It is odd that after so long it would take so little to send him over the edge. It’s a mad, mad world when someone doesn’t have access to their haircut records, no? (Sheldon has to be one of the dumbest smart people on the planet to get suckered by that one.)

It is nice to see the slow progression of Leonard and Penny’s relationship. I like that they are taking things slow; I think if they are going to make things work this time around, they’re going to have to be a little more understanding about each other’s differences. And how nice of him to teach her chess … apparently well enough to level a serious smackdown.

I’m sure I’m not the only one who thought Howard would have problems somewhere on his way to becoming an astronaut. He doesn’t have — to steel a cliché — The Right Stuff. But … survival training? Does NASA really think he needs to learn how to live off of nature for his stint in the ISS?

Here were some of my favorite quotes from “The Werewolf Transformation”:

“To paraphrase TS Eliot, ‘This is the way the world ends; not with a bang but with a nephew.’” – Sheldon

“Sheldon, you are one day late for your haircut.” – Leonard
“Thank you for captioning my nightmare.” – Sheldon

“It does have an ‘O’ in front of it: ‘Oh my God I’m an astronaut and you’re dying of jealousy!’” – Howard

“Quick question here: Have we actually changed the conversation from ‘I’m going to astronaut training’ to ‘Sheldon can’t get a haircut?’” – Howard
“Now who’s dying of jealousy? Oh: it’s you.” – Raj

“What about Super Cuts?” – Amy
“Na, I tried once. They do men’s and women’s hair in the same room at the same time. It’s like Sodom and Gomorrah with mousse.” – Sheldon

“I don’t know, I think you might look sexy with long hair. The kind that flows down to your shoulders and blows back when riding on a horse … bareback and bare-chested … I’m gonna go brush my teeth; it might take a while.” – Amy

“It’s pretty neat. You get in this plane that goes … almost straight up for like 20 seconds, and then straight back down like it’s going crash. And they do it over and over again … no matter how many times you throw up.” – Howard

“Could you do me a favor and overnight some more underwear?” – Howard
“Sure. Why?” – Bernadette
“I got a look at the centrifuge they’re going to spin me around in tomorrow and I’ve got a hunch I packed a little light.” – Howard

“So, if I move my horsey here, isn’t that checkmate and I win?” – Penny
“Hmmm.” – Leonard
“Well, is it or isn’t it?” – Penny
“You know, I think this is a good stopping point. It’s your first real game; I threw a lot of information at you.” – Leonard
“No, your king is trapped. He can’t go here because of my lighthouse, he can’t go here because of my pointy-head guy.” – Penny
“Like I said: complicated game.” – Leonard
“So did I win or not?” – Penny
“Did you have fun? Because if you had fun, then you are, you are a winner. You know, that’s what chess is all about.” – Leonard

“I don’t know. Between you playing chess like Bobby Fisher, and Sheldon being OK with you in his spot, I’m guessing someone went back in time stepped on a bug and changed the course of human events.” – Leonard

“Sweetie are you alright?” – Penny
“No, I’m not alright. It’s been six days since I was supposed to get a haircut and nothing horrible has happened.” – Sheldon
“I’m sorry, I don’t understand.” – Penny
“Leonard, explain it to her?” – Sheldon
“Oh, he’s crazy.” – Leonard

“Is there anything I can do to help?” – Bernadette
“No … wait, send more underwear?” – Howard

“Maybe tomorrow I start a bongo band and tour the world.” – Sheldon
“Wait, hang on. Roommate agreement! No hootenannies, sing-alongs, or barbershop quartets after 10:00PM!” – Leonard
“Roommate agreement? Are you kidding? We are living in a world of chaos. Roommate agreement?” – Sheldon

“Sheldon I promise I know what I’m doing, please let me cut your hair.” – Penny
“Amy, what do you think?” – Sheldon
“There’s not a hair on my body I wouldn’t let this woman trim.” – Amy

“Thank you for letting me sleep on your couch.” – Sheldon
“There’s only so many times a woman can say ‘how about the bed.’” – Amy
