The Big Bang Theory: The Tangerine Factor (2008)
Great end to first season
Asking Sheldon for advice, specifically about relationships - there's only one way it's going to go. Hilariously. Fun way to round off the first season of The Big Bang Theory.
The Big Bang Theory: The Bat Jar Conjecture (2008)
Great script but few plot holes
Everything about the writing of the episode is great. However, there's a few things that have been overlooked and it makes it appear sloppy. Why is Raj able to talk here with Leslie but not elsewhere? Sheldon isn't in his spot and makes no fuss.
The Big Bang Theory: The Grasshopper Experiment (2007)
Necessary episode for Raj but gets abused
Great idea whoever thought of this as it provides endless opportunity but a little inconsistent. For example, rum cake (S3) suffices because alcohol but he gets hopelessly drunk off cake during a few minute interview (FBI security clearance)? Come on. Another example is the zero alcohol beer on the train (S2?) but that episode had enough holes as is.
The Big Bang Theory: Pilot (2007)
Solid, safe start
Manages to walk the tightrope of predictability/stereotyping and setting up the series mostly well. Yes it's cringe, yes it becomes less cringe. A little messy and although some backstory in Season 3 helps it shouldn't have taken that long.
The Big Bang Theory: Unaired Pilot (2006)
Whoever rejected this saved big bang
Look while I'm sure there still would've been some viewers I feel this would be cancelled after 1 or 2 seasons. Only the first episode of what would be and it already sells itself out by relying heavily on objectifying women.
The Big Bang Theory: The Cruciferous Vegetable Amplification (2010)
Sheldon sets a new standard for future episodes
The Shelbot is such a genius plot element because it is so perfectly, hilariously a Sheldon thing. Throw in some cheap toilet humour (which Sheldon pulls off far better than others such as Raj) and you're golden.
The Big Bang Theory: The Hot Troll Deviation (2010)
An episode I can't criticise
Everything about this episode is amazing. Raj bests Sheldon at his own game, Howard provides immeasurable entertainment value and Bernadette sees more screen time.
The Big Bang Theory: The Alien Parasite Hypothesis (2010)
Interesting direction for Amy
New decision allowing Amy (and Sheldon by association) to be the spotlight of the episode largely works in it's favour although Howard and Raj's efforts fall a bit flat.
The Big Bang Theory: The Bus Pants Utilization (2011)
Hard episode to watch
Season 4 started off strong so I had high hopes continuing on. There's a bit of good Sheldon script at the start but it just gets worse as the episode goes on. Nothing super substantial happens in this episode so do yourself a favour and just skip.
