Yesterday, I only watched The Marvels and then hung out with the gang. I didn’t really have the headspace for Halo yet, so I’m considering doing a rewatch of the first season beforehand.
Instead, I think I watched almost an entire season yesterday because today I’m starting at Episode 22 of Season 4. Amy, or Shamy, is now firmly anchored in the gang, and Howard and Bernadette are back together (Bernadette with a revamped character). Even Sheldon occasionally exhibits traits of his newer, less tolerable personality.
Unfortunately, Raj’s tragedy begins as well because the writers absolutely have no idea which direction to take him. We’ll see where it leads, but it’s not going to be great.
The whole setting is slowly changing too; the colors are less saturated, and even the actors look like they’re living in an area without sun instead of Pasadena (I know, they never go out anyway, but still).
With so much negativity, I have to admit that it’s still enjoyable. However, the series is only running in the background for me. If I were actively watching, it would probably be different, and I’d likely have given up by now. What I’ve noticed is that when I do pay attention, I focus a lot on the background and how the actors behave when they’re practically idle.
