The Big Bang Theory: The Complete Third Season

  • Title: The Big Bang Theory: The Complete Third Season

This season finally puts Leonard (Johnny Galecki) and Penny (Kaley Cuoco) toghether in a real relationship as well as giving Jim Parsons plenty of fun crazy to play as Doctor Sheldon Cooper. (Sorry, Sheldon’s not crazy. His mother had him tested.) Parsons even took home the Emmy for Best Actor for this season.

Season Three also includes a trip to the emergency room, two appearances by Sheldon’s arch-nemesis Wil Wheaton, Howard (Simon Helberg) gets a girlfriend (Melissa Rauch) and gets a fantasy visit from Katee Sackhoff, Raj (Kunal Nayyar) faces possible deportation, the one ring to rule them all, Sheldon’s short stint working at the Cheesecake Factory, and we finally get the story of how Leonard and Sheldon met.

In terms of extras the three-disc set is a little light but the third disc does include a set tour and a disciussion of the show’s third season by the show’s creators over dinner. The version I picked up also included a “Bazinga t-shirt” for the same price. (I wish other DVD-sets would do this!)

Fans of the show’s nerdy humor should enjoy this season which includes several memorable moments and some fun scenes of my favorite relationship on the show between Sheldon and Penny (such as this one) as well.

Deadpool gets to meet his hero. And, wait, did Steve Rogers just offer to make Deadpool an Avenger? Okay, a Secret Avenger, but still!? Nah, he couldn’t have. But Rogers is known for looking for the best in people and trying to inspire and rehibilitate them. But this is Deadpool we’re talking about! Well… he did let Moon Knight in on the team. Hmm…

What? Oh, yeah. This issues about terrorists under a mini-mart. Or something.

Batman Beyond #4 (of 6)

  • Title: Batman Beyond #4 (of 6)
  • Comic Vine: link

Final panel aside, this one’s a pretty good read. McGuiness learns why Nightwing hung up the tights years ago (and why he hasn’t talked to Bruce since). That said, there are some problems. The Catwoman (or is it Catwomen?) angle seems to be get unnecessarily complicated, and for a comic with Batman in the title there’s very little of Batman in action (unless you count Bruce’s robot) in this issue.

And then there’s the final panel… Yeah. Um, yeah. I won’t ruin for it for in case you plan to pick this one up, but lets just say the final panel flushes the promise of the previous pages right down the toilet. Sigh. I doesn’t work, whether it’s real or simply yet another twist (this comic has more than a Shyamalan marathon). We’ll have to see if the series can rebound, but I have my doubts.
