(The guys are playing Dungeons & Dragons, with Sheldon as GM.)
Sheldon: The entrance to the dungeon is a moss covered door. You manage to open it only to find yourself face-to-face with a hideous, foul-smelling, moss-covered ogre. What do you do?
Howard: I say, "Hey Ma, what's for dinner?"
Raj: I was so smooth on that date.
Howard: Dude, I made you smooth, you were an idiot.

, 20:57 Mar 1 2012.Oddly enough the first thing I thought of when this episode started was.. "What version of D&D were they playing?"

, 10:26 Nov 10 2011.I like seeing the show evolve. It is the real test of a good writer. The original premise of the show was so simple it had to move on. I've like all the seasons so far, this one is no different (so far!)

, 18:24 Nov 3 2011.Too many characters are and too many storylines have saturated the show. Too much is going on in each episode, and Amy and Bernadette are poor additions to the cast.

, 02:00 Oct 25 2011.Rolling RPG Dice ? Really? .. Even Sheldon would see how idiotic that is. Highly implausible plot line. I sure wish Leonard would stop whining. Stop writing him as a nebish! .. Geek/Nerd/Socially inept is one thing, but he's becoming pathetic.

, 07:46 Oct 13 2011.I think that this season is funny, Amy has become importent to the story. But i think Penny and Lennerd shuld get back together. the only one i find annoying is Raj's Sister.

, 14:05 Oct 12 2011.Sadly, it seems to me that the rising number of full-time cast members has had an inverse effect on the humor quotient of the show! I regret that our 4 science nerds are outgrowing the innocence/naivete apparent 3-4 years ago. Maybe the boys need to experience breakups with their girlfriends and look back to the sanctity/wisdom of the original group of guys for their support and ongoing social education!
