Okay, so the Johnny Galecki and Sara Gilbert reunion on Big Bang Theory happened this week. So what happened? Well, my prediction that this was originally devised as stunt casting appears to have been right on the money.

The scene was an extremely minor part of the show, but also ended up being probably the best scene from the entire series yet. Galecki and Gilbert played two socially inept professors attempting a controlled experiment in impromptu attraction by eliminating the drawn out courting rituals and going right for the most clinical kiss ever staged for TV. The scene was so good, we were backing up our DVRs to catch it all again! My worries about the two coming off as their Roseanne characters was unfounded and I can see why the show’s producers are keeping Gilbert around for more episodes. Galecki and Gilbert have shown that they are indeed better than their previous work and they do have a certain awkward chemistry together that is perfectly suited for this show.

I’m looking forward to more!
