Kind of Like it. This version of the pilot I mean.

I don't really think the Katie Character was "too mean" so she he had to be cut from the show. I believe it would have also worked had they decided to keep her instead of replacing her with the Penny character. I do think that making Sheldon, way more asexual in the current version of the show was a brilliant idea. This has made possible a great deal of excellent comedy. Making the original character more interested in woman and even with a sexual fetish would have rendered him less interesting (in my opinion). The Gilda Character doesn't really speaks to me in this episode but maybe she would have had space for improvement if given the chance. Regarding Leonard, I don't think there's any difference between both versions.

Another difference I noticed that I also think makes a great difference between this and the current version is that Sheldon is portrayed as equal to Leonard and Gilda from the point of view of intelligence. I think letting Sheldon have the greatest mental abilities among all the characters gave the series a much better set up. This has made possible his constant (if always unaware) bullying of everyone else.

On the whole, I cosidered this version of the pilot good. Nevertheless I admit that the current versión has a greater potential for comedy and it was a good call reformatting the series to its current way.
