The Scavenger Vortex

Rewatching this episode and seeing the cast interact together throughout it reminded me what episodes in later seasons lack. It's a joy to watch and lands most of its jokes.

Since in this episode Stuart didn't have many lines, except for being jealous that he wasn't invited to hang out w/ the group. & it should be obvious to him that the "group" gets annoyed to be around Stuart more so than Sheldon.

The character of Stuart Bloom is a fake & fictional character that TRULY gets under my skin. It's baffling how I can hate some 1 so much that doesn't exist.

I have decided to write a review each episode I just CAN'T STAND bcuz of of Kevin Sussman's character, "Stuart." I really really can't watch how he mooch's off of every single main character, the things he says truly annoys me. Some feel "sorry" for his character, but me no way. I just don't understand why the writers wrote his character this way. Throughout the series he claims to be so broke, but he still can afford to keep the comic book store open, & can afford hospital bills, pills, & therapy... Instead of abusing his customers hospitality, sell the store & get a job.. Stuart's character isn't funny at all. I just really can't stand him so much I fast forward the scenes he's mooching & just plain talking at all...

This episode really focuses on Raj's genius. Being an astrophysicist and a metro-sexual guy he could provide hard brain teaser both to the intellectual Sheldon Cooper and the street smart Penny with a Riddler patented unexpected ending. I dont know if it was intentional or not but just like Riddler's games it revealed a lot of unknown sides of known character. If Raj weren't good hearted Pasadena would be terrorized with the Riddler.

Dont know how many time I have watched this marvelous episode.

Part of the fun of this show isn't the fact that isn't like 'Friends' where there's big emotional storylines or a large on-going thread. You can drop in and out of this sitcom and largely you'll find the characters where you left them.

This episode has a simple premise, but executes it well, in part because the characters are so well defined by this point that we know that any combination of them together will result in good comedic potential.

I thought this episode as a fun one, and it allowed all the characters and indeed the actors playing them, the change to have fun.

Fun is good, this show offers that.
