| Shell Game |
| Summary: Sheldon, as usual, is beginning to be Jenny's date. Jenny isn't much interested in him, though. She'd rather have a robot like herself, but robot boys aren't exactly easy to come across, until she meets the robot of her dreams: The Silver Shell. But does he even know she exists? Storyboard: John Fountain Directed: John Fountain, Rob Renzetti Villian: There was, literally, a mechanical bull, and then the giant snake. Moral: Uhhhhh...no, there isn't one. |
| Stuff I Noticed: *In the immediate beginning, Jenny walks past a house that says Doughnuts. *I'm pretty sure the first class that Jenny goes to is Universe 101. *Jenny has oil and batteries for lunch, Sheldon has a sandwich, milk and some orange blobby thing. I don't wanna know what it is. The cafeteria says Food on the wall again. *The shelves of the library are A A-3 and A B-4 *They spell it Reptile Haus in this episode, Haus, I believe, is German for house. *The Silver Shell might have a name connection with Sheldon. 'Shel'don. Silver 'Shell'. Get it? *Sheldon says 'Give me lizardy or give me death' a cheap take off of 'Give me liberty or give me death'. *The Silver Shell crashes into Coffee by Alex. *Pre-snake fight, there are signs at the Reptile Haus that say Lizards, Wow, Snake, Big Snake, Salamander and Giant. Once the snake fight starts the signs say Yikes, Ahhh!, Help!, Aaaah!, Yips! and Oh no! *The really old turtle's name is Tippy. Why was he in the episode? The giant snake is Julian, the World's Largest Boa Constrictur. Don't tease! That's what the sign says. *There are so many generic names in this episode. The soda bottle that says Pop, the school says High School, the librarian's desk says Librarian and the china shop buildin's sign says ... um, China Shop. |
| My Rating and Review: Aw, poor Sheldon. This episode almost (notice I say almost) makes me want to convert to Jenny/Sheldon. But I will not! Jenny/Tuck lives! Ahem, all right. Now Sheldon was so crazily in love, it seems less like love in this episode and more like an infatuation, an obsession. But let's focus on the episode itself. Now this one of the more creative ideas on the show, Sheldon creating a robot, it's genius! I mean, he's smart enough and he's got the motivation, but I never thought it would be so ironic. The Silver Shell treats Jenny the same way she treated Sheldon. How much more irony can you put into an episode? I think it's because of this awesome little irony that I want to grade this episode highly. I give it an A+, or at least I would, if I was Jenny/Sheldon. |
