The Veracity Elasticity

A nice episode of the show, focusing on the Amy/Sheldon and Leonard/Penny relationships.

The character of Sheldon, even in S10 continues to develop and grow, and that's great to see. The scenes between Jim Parsons and Mayim Bialik are wonderfully played.

There's not much for Howard or Raj to do, but I'm not that fussed.

Could Be Any Sitcom

I really get bored with shows where the wife wants to decorate the bedroom and the guy feels emasculated. The episode is based on simple dishonesty, not huge lies, but those that can hurt. Still, it's rather tiresome. The byplay between Sheldon and Amy is pretty funny and that salvages things.

Trivia
Ubbi Dubbi, spoken by Penny and Amy in this episode, was popularized by the 1970's children's show Zoom (1972). In this secret language, the letters "ub" are added in front of each vowel sound in every syllable of an existing word, e.g. "hello" becomes "huballubo". It may also have been the inspiration for Amy's invented language 'Op' from The Skank Reflex Analysis (2011), where the letters "op" are added to each consonant in a word (so "hallo" would become "hop-a-lop-lop-o").

Goofs
At the brunch in the previous episode, Sheldon and Stuart discuss the fact that Sheldon doesn't swear. However, in this episode, Sheldon not only tells Leonard the Klingon word for dammit, he also uses it himself later.

Quotes
Leonard Hofstadter: You're awful quiet. Everything OK?
Sheldon Cooper: I'm concerned about Amy. She's acting a bit odd lately.
Howard Wolowitz: Just out of curiosity, what registers as odd to you?

Don't be fooled. Big Daddy can't save us. Our salvation lies within ourselves. Within our own ingenuity and determined effort. "Make America great again" is a bumper sticker for victimhood. But we are not victims. We are the creators of opportunity. Sure the system's rigged. It always has been. So what?! We are a nation of immigrants who have consistently ignored the rigging. You won't let us join your club? %#&@ you, we'll start our own club. You won't let us go to your school? %#&@ you, we'll start our own school. You won't let us earn money your way? %#&@ you, we'll earn it our way. You won't give us a chance here? %#&@ you, we will go elsewhere. You want to know what makes America great? I got two words for you.
