Darn! I was hoping that Penny's brother would be showing up. I got a kick out of him when Penny's family came for the wedding recreation. The show revolves around a machine that can detect emotions and it's in Sheldon's hands. The other plot line has Raj inviting his former girlfriends over to tell why they broke up with him. The possibilities are endless and the writers do nothing with it.

Raj is Officially Boring!
Robinson25114 February 2017
If you're a big Raj fan, then you may be annoyed by that title, but although I hate to say, Raj might just be the most boring sit-com character ever! EVER!
These writers have no idea what to do with him. What, another girl dumped him, who saw that coming? I know, bloody everyone! That's who!
Why do they insist on dragging this arc on? Probably because they don't want to face the truth, this character can go nowhere else! Either they continue this trend of girls dumping him making the show repetitive and dull, or the give him a girl and make his role in the show redundant. After all, Raj is the only character in this show that doesn't tell the same story of relationship drama and awkward romance.
I've complained before about Raj's role in this series. The fact that he has no real story to keep him in the series, and so that pin him to Howard and Bernardette's stories makes him irrelevant to the point of annoying!
I think some reduced screen time for the whole cast could help the rut that this show is in. Not just Raj but all of these characters are tedious to the point of irrelevant, and it's not enough to make them get angry at each other all the time! There's no substance, which means there's no reason for the audience to care, and I don't anymore!
As for the rest of the episode, Sheldon's "Emotion Detector" I think is pushing it even for this show, but it's a comedy so I'll buy it. It presents some funny moments and Sheldon has some good lines, but far from the show's best!
The return of Raj's girlfriends was a nice return for some great characters, especially Emily who I think should have become a main, but I feel like there's something wrong with their accounts of their relationship, and what I remember from the show. Not sure but, something feels wrong!
Howard and Bernadette get little to do here, which is good because it gives the writers more time to find things to do with Raj... oh no wait!
There still feels like a lack of humour, which is a shame considering this show showed what it could do with The Brain Bowl Incubation early on this series, honestly the best episode in about 4 years, but it soon reverted to this horrible incarnation of what was once a brilliant series. Darn it!

Rehash of other sitcoms plots

The act of getting exes back together to discuss what's wrong with Raj was copied straight from Everybody loves Raymond in which Marie got Robert's exes to discuss him. Although the latter was funny, Raj's track didn't even induce a giggle.
As far as Sheldon's track goes, it's got irritating to see Leonard having just one expression of tiredness across all scenes. He is just carrying that brooding forlorn look for like 6 seasons now and it's not even funny.
Must miss
