How did Leonard become Sheldon's roommate and why are they still roommates? Those are probably questions viewers ask whenever there is the ubiquitous episode of Sheldon being ticked off at something. Well, "The Staircase Implementation" answered those questions and more.
Most of the episode was plotless, recapping Leonard first meeting Sheldon are learning about every quirk and requirement Sheldon has. After passing a series of tests, Leonard signs an agreement to live with Sheldon and Leonard, Raj, and Howard go, for the first time ever, through Sheldon's gauntlet of irrational rationalities and realize Sheldon is insane.
However, the positives did come out in the end. For one, Sheldon did save Leonard from sleeping with a North Korean spy, and in the looong story about how the elevator became broken, Sheldon saves Leonard's life after Leonard puts rocket fuel in Howard's model rocket.
And Sheldon hating Babylon 5? All I can say is screw you. I'll agree that the dialogue and acting sucked, but the storytelling was better than that of TOS, TNG, DS9, Voyager, and Enterprise. Also, what network airs Babylon 5 these days?
On a programming note, it looks like everything from the past year was deleted, so I can't find any of my old recaps. If anyone copied my old recaps (I don't know why you would) or find archived recaps for Burn Notice, Royal Pain, Dark Blue, and The Big Bang Theory, please send me an email or contact me on Twitter.
