We would like to talk briefly about the dark cloud. As it is, though, it is still entertaining and includes a few laugh-out-scene, like Sheldon hate-watching Wil Wheaton’s show, that ought to put a smile on your face.Comedian George Carlin used to point out that behind every silver lining, there is a dark cloud. With more scenes focused on Amy and Sheldon and fewer scenes focused on Leonard’s garbage novel, “The Novelization Correlation” could potentially have been an even stronger episode. While the scene with Amy could have been a bit longer, just bringing up this issue on the episode feels like a partial win.

Though it is likely that Sheldon will slide back to his old ways in the future, just seeing him making this realization feels monumental. He does not want anyone, especially Amy, to bend over backward just to please him. As he learns that both Amy and his friends have been stopping themselves from doing or saying certain things just to make sure that he doesn’t get upset he realizes that something has to change. I love the nerd culture references and find the relationships interesting, but at the end of the day, it is really Sheldon who keeps me hooked on this show.Īs The Big Bang Theory prepares for the likely wedding episode, a lot of screentime has been spent on focusing on the ways in which Sheldon is growing and changing as a person. I kind of chuckled at the pie chart back then and continued with my scrolling, but as I was watching “The Novelization Correlation” it instantly popped into my mind because in many ways that pie chart tells the truth for me as a viewer. Things like the nerd culture or relationships got small slices while Sheldon got the biggest slice. Just a few days ago while browsing Pinterest I came across this pie chart which listed reasons for why people love The Big Bang Theory.

I doubt these questions will be further discussed in the upcoming episodes, but perhaps they give avid viewers like myself something to think about. And while it is revealed by the end of the episode that Leonard might have been writing about his mother, after all, the scenes before that bring up interesting questions about the ways in which Leonard sees Penny. I would imagine seeing someone you love writing about you that way would not be very flattering. “The Novelization Correlation” - Pictured: Penny (Kaley Cuoco). Yes, Penny can be kind of snarky, but she also has a good sense of humor, a patient way to deal with Sheldon, and so on. The way Leonard has written about Ilsa, a blond eye-rolling and mean character with a striking resemblance to Penny does not really show her in a positive light. Though it could be flattering to have someone base a character on you, in that situation you would likely want that person to cast you in a positive light. It is kind of sweet, in some sense, how he for a while seems to think that he has come up with something good. They are super dramatic, over-the-top, and extremely ridiculous, but for some reason, it is not difficult for me to imagine Leonard coming up with such scenes in his mind while he writes. The dramatizations featuring a key scene from Leonard’s book, a mysterious murder, are actually kind of fun to watch if you think of them as a result of Leonard’s imagination while he writes. “The Novelization Correlation” - Pictured: Leonard Hofstadter (Johnny Galecki), Sheldon Cooper (Jim Parsons) and Howard Wolowitz (Simon Helberg). It is so cliché and so tropey that it could almost work in that “it is so bad that it is good” way, but it doesn’t. He, naturally, has based the main character of his novel on himself and paired him up with a cold, eye-rolling blond female character he can’t get enough of. That is probably the point because I can’t really imagine this storyline featuring Leonard as an author dragging out for too long. To be completely honest, Leonard’s book sounds like garbage. Let’s get the less interesting stuff out of the way first after which I can focus on the good things about “The Novelization Correlation.” “The Novelization Correlation” - Pictured: Penny (Kaley Cuoco) and Leonard Hofstadter (Johnny Galecki). On The Big Bang Theory Season 11 Episode 15, “The Novelization Correlation,” Sheldon learns something new about the way in which Amy and his friends act around him while Penny suspects that the cold, mean female character of Leonard’s novel is based on her.
