The Big Bang Theory - 6x06 - The Extract Obliteration

    Penny is taking a history class, and Leonard is excited about this, and wants to help her.  Sheldon is playing a game of Words With Friends with Stephen Hawking.
    This was a very unfocused episode, but it remained more pleasantly playful than most of the episodes are.  The one thing that really bothered me was when Penny returned to rub her B- in Leonard's face.  Her impersonation of him was absurdly childish, and just reinforced that Leonard deserves someone better.
    But the point at which the plots collide was a very good scene.  It's gimmicky, but it plays out in perfect rhythm.  Leonard and Sheldon both want to talk about their problems, but neither of them care about the other.  So Leonard pulls a chess timer for each of them to talk, and get advice from the other.  Of course, Sheldon is a jerk about this as well.
