This episode was actually quite good. I am up to date with the latest episodes and I can rather confidentaly say this marked the begining of the end. The standard and humour isn't there like it was, and I think the show is on the downhill slope.

The current show is extremely different from what it was in the first three seasons. I understand character growth needs to be done to keep an audience, but moving too fast can loose the audience also. Howard's dady issues and Sheldon and Amy's relationship don't work for me. It makes this show rather repulsive from my point of view. Watch Season Eight, then a Season 1-3 episode, and it is very different. I do notice the feeble attempts to go back to the orginial construction, but the female character subplot; something about it doesn't work. Realistically, a woman like Penny wouldn't interact with two female scientists as often as she does.

I think the problem mainly is the additional characters like Amy and Bernadette have changed Howard and Sheldon in such a way it mutes the chemisty of the original three seasons.
