‘The Big Bang Theory’ season 8, episode 11 video: Leonard and Howard’s clean-room crisis

Thursday night, “The Big Bang Theory” returns after a few weeks off with new episodes, and if there is something we can tell you to expect right now, it is conflict in the Christmas season.

After all, Leonard and Howard have specifically violated one of the biggest workplace rules out there: Making sure you keep the clean room actually clean. This is where serious experiments are done, but one of the stipulations here is ensuring that no dust gets in the way. A pigeon flying in is a complete disaster, and it could end up costing one or both of them their jobs … at least in the real world. Since this is the “Big Bang Theory” world, maybe they are going to be able to weasel their way out of this.

Meanwhile, the other sneak peek that we have for you below focuses more on some trademark Sheldon silliness, this time when it comes to presenting his take on the She-Hulk character. We will at least give the show some credit here for actually discussing a Marvel character for a change; since Warner Bros. TV produces the show, of course DC Comics tend to take center stage. They have mentioned Marvel before, and in our perfect world, we’d like a balance. Actually, we’d like a full story all about which comic brand is better, mostly because that would ignite comment threads all across the country.

Oh, and there is a Christmas component in Thursday’s episode as well. Let’s just say that it revolves around Sheldon and Amy’s Christmas planning.
