“The Middle Earth Paradigm” from Season 1 of The Big Bang Theory airs Monday 9/26.
In the episode, the gang attends a costume party in Penny’s apartment. Penny dresses as a cat, Sheldon dresses as the doppler effect, Leonard is Frodo from Lord of the Rings, Howard is Robin Hood but gets mistaken for Peter Pan and Raj is Thor, the Norse god of thunder. Each costume is interesting for each character (Raj, the quietest of the group, is the god of thunder). What do the costumes say about each character to you? In your opinion who wins the costume contest?
Sheldon’s costume is kinda far out there. I mean, who knows what a doppler effect is really? Do we get him? Sort of par for the course.
Penny’s costume was flirty and risque, but those both fit in really well with her character–always pushing the envelope and not sticking with standard norm. And of course Howard would wear something that no one gets.
Leonard looks like a hobbit, so, ya, Frodo is about right, don’t you think?? As for Raj, the guy is scared to speak to girls, so, if you’re gonna wear a costume, why not go for the exact opposite of yourself, hence the mighty THOR?! So, he wins my vote for best costume!
