The Big Bang Theory: The Opening Night Excitation (2015)
I liked it fine, too :-)
A really good episode - I'd say the best of the season so far!
The plot is simple yet great, the incorporation of the SW premiere and the opening text crawl were a really good idea. As was Will's idea on how to upset the movie premiere a little.
And coming to Sheldon's side of the story, although I was a bit surprised about his choice, once he reached his decision he applied his genius to the b-day gift dilemma and came up with a perfect yet logical choice :-)
I was a bit afraid of Arthur's return because I haven't been really excited about "his" previous episodes. But he was really good in this one and his final conversation with Sheldon rocked me off my chair (have to get a new one now).
So...overall 9 out of 10, the only point down being for things in this episode which were a little unrealistic - Sheldon's decision and Amy's "First Time" experience.
Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones (2002)
Thrilling and amazing addition to Star Wars family.
Wow! I didn't really know what should I expect after the childish and boring Episode I. But what I saw amazed me: Beautiful sceneries (Corussant). Unfolding story (Anakin goes dark). Fascinating creatures (Attention Jar-Jar enemies - he's still there! But look for the beautiful four-handed monster meeting Obi-Wan in the bar - I love this one!) And, last but not least, the final battle of the Jedis! Is there a prize for "Best Action Sequence Of The Year"? (rather century:-) This one must get it! If you like action but don't like Star Wars then you've got to see Episode II only because of the Jedi Battle scene! All in all, it's a very sweet reward for 20+ years of waiting for a Star Wars sequel worthy of George Lucas!
