Poor Raj!

[hamedazad · 6/10 · 11 March 2017]

Sometimes I really feel sympathy for Raj. He is the only undeveloped character in the gang. He's got no future, no partner, and even no money, while everyone else has been on their stable state for some time now. It's been long since Penny and Leonard got married, Amy and Sheldon are one step away from getting married, even Stuart has found his place in the show. The only one who is utterly over-looked is poor Raj. Now they decided to make him homeless too. I know they realized that Raj requires a change of plan for the better, but it's already too late for this. The writers should have started redemption long ago. Now it just feels like they made this effort to keep the show going for another season, which I think it actually is. The show has long lost it's initial touch for me. It's not really funny anymore, just the familiarity with the parts keeps me watching. Plus, not all characters need to be fully developed when the show is wrapped up. We have Joey on friends that did not get a good ending, not in friends, and not in the proceeding sitcom "Joey". Sam Malone did not get any in "Cheers" either, and he was the main part. So why should Raj get one? It's not that I don't like the show and don't want Raj to be independent and successful, but for Christ sake, he works in Cal- tech, and he can't even afford a small apartment?

More Angst

Raj needs a place to live. He yo-yos back and forth between two homes. He is a sad case to be sure, but he does nothing productive. He has this view of being an American based on television. The guy is probably a genius but shows no signs of it.

Defining episode.

[wkozak221 · 10/10 · 13 December 2021]

This is my opinion. This episode defines why I don't like Raj. He had his dad pay for everything. Since he told his dad not to give him anymore money everything went up in the air. Now he has to pay for everything. Why can't he pay for his apartment? Amazes me. Then he searches for a cheaper place. He asks his friends. Then when he is at Howard's house he rags on Stuart for supposedly mooching off of Howard. Really? He needs to grow up quickly.

This sitcom used to be a story of funny conversations between friends/people. The story-line seems lost. Everybody has become mean like Sheldon & it's not funny. Raj is supposed to be a scientist in Caltech, not a hobo. he might be in a financial mess but how can he be homeless? Doesn't make sense. Sheldon was supposed to be Raj's finance Manager, seems like Sheldon is doing a really bad job ! Next, why is Leonard suddenly so rude to Sheldon all the time? It's not that Leonard isn't used to Sheldon's behavior. There doesn't seem to be any logic behind whats happening.

Hope to see some direction in the story in the coming episodes.
