SPOILERS!
The second episode of the eighth season did not impress me as much as the first episode did; and despite some funny scenes, the episode to me was just not that funny. To be fair, if I had to place this episode on the 'All Time Big Bang Theory episodes list; it would be at the bottom half of the rankings. I think the writers are over- using Sheldon's character a bit which we unfortunately began to see towards the end of the seventh season; the guy is just starting become a parody of himself! Also, the lack of some characters in the first two episodes is pretty disturbing as well. I mean; if I actually think about it, Leonard and Raj for example did not have a single line that actually made me laugh. Hopefully this serious character development issue will be resolved during the season. My rating is:
7.5
