This was a weak episode.
Having the characters be drunk and say inappropriate things is a sitcom staple plot, but you'd think a show of this level of intelligence would be able to put something (anything! New on top of it to make it uniquely 'Big Bang Theory' worthy.
They don't though. It's not a good episode.
I'm not even sure the nice speech by Howard at the end that shows some actual growth in him as a character since the first ever episode is enough to carry this over the line. It's a wonderful moment, don't get me wrong - but it's in such a dud episode that it feels like a bit of a waste.
A real shame.
