Contractual Obligations
Hitchcoc11 November 2021
When Howard comes up with a critical thought to enhance a project Sheldon and Leonard have been working on, this leads to an effort to get it patented. When the university demands 75 percent of all moneys earned, the must make a decision. Also, Wolowitz, being associated with NASA gets nothing. Ultimately, Sheldon is asked to draw up a contract. Meanwhile, Raj plays pinball on the phone, bouncing back and forth between two women.

PC Alert

Another just-above average episode with some tired Raj-related script writing. Howard and Bernadette's hallway conversation seems forced, wanting to ensure all the PC boxes are checked. A little overt as the writers/creators' political leanings rarely seep into this very solid "something for everyone" sitcom. The episode-closing contract clause scene is warm-fuzzy, so there's that.

I am happy.

I think this episode was very nice. One of the more important episodes of this drowning show. This season, we've seen two of those - (S09E11) and this. An overall development of characters takes place and it's shelled in an interesting plot of Howard, Sheldon and Leonard signing a contract.

I don't want to say a lot about this... just watch it. Even Raj's sub- plot was interesting.

All-in-all, Bernadette seems less annoying, Amy seems to be growing up, Penny was hot as always, and boy, Sheldon is surely surprising. This episode marks a perfect example of the dilemma - who is Sheldon, really, and what is he becoming?
