- Quotes
Howard Wolowitz: It's not like Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, right? Some bald guy with horns isn't gonna rip out my heart?
Raj Koothrappali: Dude, that movie is an imperialist fantasy that makes the followers of a beautiful and peaceful religion look like a bunch of bloodthirsty barbarians.
Howard Wolowitz: You love that movie.
Raj Koothrappali: Yeah, it's pretty great!

The things I have spent my life depending on are undependable. Because they are things. And things are, by their very nature, subject to change. This applies to people as well. People change. People leave. Inevitably we all leave. The world, therefore, is essentially an unstable, uncertain environment. That's why I choose to believe in, and depend on, an unchanging, eternal, omnipresent non-thing. I prefer not to call it God, because the very word tends to thing things up. So I try not to call it. I try to experience it. Easy to do looking out at the ocean. Hard to do looking up at the ocean. Easy to do when you look at a baby. Hard to do if the baby is next to you on a long plane flight. Easy to do when you look at a pretty girl. Hard to do if you were once married to her. Clearly what blocks me from transcendence is judgment. If I were able to suspend having an opinion on drowning, other peoples' baby's vomit, and alimony, if I could simply see these things as they are - actions devoid of meaning until I give them meaning - I could experience some semblance of union with the infinite sublime. I'd instantaneously transition from neurotic sitcom writer to one seriously badass guru dude. People would travel great distances to ask me for guidance with their personal problems. I'd wisely tell them "It is what it is." They'd judge this as being ridiculously inadequate advice and punch me. But I'd be okay with it because I'm, you know, exalted.

Featured review
The Compromise Cocmpromise
The girls get their way and drag Sheldon and Leonard to the Mall to hold their purses while they shop. What happens is an outrageous discussion about how Sheldon is forced to compromise over and over. If you want to hear convoluted, this is the poster child for it. Raj and Leonard end up at a Hindu temple while Raj awaits new from a space probe that is approaching Pluto.
