In standalone episodes, this becomes a problem because it takes a toll on the screenplay.

As a subplot, Sheldon is mad at Amy for making him go to Bernadettes for Thanksgiving.

For fans, they were also excited to see where this major expedition would take him.

The episode brought in elements of slapstick humor that are inconsistent with Sheldons personal brand which confused fans.

The ending is also really well-designed since it’s punchy and syncs up with the paintball storyline.

Though the comedy was well-paced and creative in this one, its premise was quite shaky.

Although the humor is a little too flighty and over-the-top it gets the job done.

Their bickering makes Sheldon uncomfortable as it takes him back to his childhood where his parents would frequently fight.

However, for some fans, they didn’t the way it was handled.

Sheldon helps him out and is actually keen to see him through this crisis.

The situation became even more interesting when the writers hinted that Raj and Penny may have had a one-night-stand.

Especially since his Paintball subplot wasnt a good enough secondary plot.
