ORIGINAL EPISODES, MONDAYS @ 8:30PM ON CBSOkay, so although I was exaggerating a bit last week it seems that "The Big Bang Theory" really is turning into a "Roseanne" reunion. In consecutive episodes we saw Sarah Gilbert (formerly Darlene), Laurie Metcalf (formerly Jackie), and Sarah Gilbert again last night. Not that I'm complaining or anything. Both of them have been incredible and really brought a lot to the show. 
The one thing I like is that "The Big Bang Theory" hasn't fallen into the "Will & Grace" trap where they get so caught up in just having guest stars that they forget to back the appearances quality. Sarah and Laurie's characters have been both funny and deep which is a formula for success on any comedy and even more so when you're trying to establish your show in its first season.

If you remember, she's Leonard's co-worker at the lab and two episodes ago they kissed in order to determine if they should even bother going on a date; for if there are no sparks in the kiss which is the ultimate determinative of the success of the date then there's no need for the date to begin with. Tonight though she wanted to practice playing orchestra pieces with Leonard and was turned on by his skill. This excitement ended up in the two of them sleeping together while Sheldon nervously enlisted Penny's help to figure out what he should do while they were locked in Leonard's room listening to Bryan Adams. This was absolutely hilarious and really shows just how immature and sheltered Sheldon is and has been his whole life. His sarcasm his too funny but I find his naive attitudes towards relationships with women that much funnier.
So, Leonard hooked up with Leslie but the big story of the night was Penny's reaction. She 
played it all cool with Sheldon when he dragged her over to the apartment but you could tell that she was definitely jealous. She might be pretty and popular but she seems to think Leonard may be too good for her. She's appears to be just as scared and insecure about her feelings as if the tables were reversed (she were the nerd and he was the hot one). I think it's a nice twist to see her being the one whose insecure rather than Leonard who we would expect to the be the only one feeling that way.

Sheldon's hamburger decision at the restaurant was great! - who wouldn't want a Big Boy Burger if they could get one? Hopefully we'll see more of Leslie here and there even if she's "good until at least New Year's."
