Warning: full episode spoilers follow.
The Big Bang Theory's 8th season had an uneven first week, with a lackluster premiere episode and a much stronger follow-up. This week's installment fell somewhere in the middle. It was entertaining, but not especially amusing. It gave the full group something to do, but didn't wrap up in an entirely satisfactory fashion. Good, but not great, in other words.
Wolowitz took center stage this week as he found himself tasked by NASA to throw the first pitch at a Los Angeles Angels game. Given that he's not exactly the most physically robust specimen in the greater LA area, Wolowitz naturally showed some concern about embarrassing himself in front of thousands of baseball fanatics. The show wandered into iffy territory with this premise. The Big Bang Theory is so often criticized for making fun of nerd culture rather than celebrating it. And even though I haven't really fond that to be an issue in recent years, there's always the odd episode like "The Bakersfield Expedition" that bears out that criticism.
