Big Bang Theory Season 5 Episode 13 The Recombination Hypothesis – Review

“The Recombination Hypothesis” was the 100th episode of The Big Bang Theory, so I was initially surprised that the focus was on Leonard and Penny’s relationship. But, actually it makes a lot of sense. When the show first premiered, it was a comedy about a nerd who had a thing for his hot neighbor. I’m not sure that there was a better way to honor its history than to go back to that relationship.

Where you surprised by the “day dream?” Unfortunately, I saw on twitter that there was a “fantasy” aspect to the episode just as I was starting to watch it. I’ll never know if I would have been fooled or not. But, I think I would have been … even with that long, transitional glance across the hall between Leonard and Penny.

The telling of the story through Leonard’s eyes worked for me. Do Leonard and Penny have a shipper name? I’m not sure, but I’m on that team. I know plenty of you out there hated when they were dating, but I enjoyed it. And, now that Howard and Sheldon have paired up, I want Peonard or Lenny!
