So its odd that I felt it not once, but twice during The Confidence Erosion.
Who knew planning a nerd wedding and sudden friction in a lifelong friendship could make me all twisty inside?
I settled in for a few laughs and ended up chewing on an antacid.

The wedding planning starts off great.
Its called decision theory, and each person makes half of the decisions in a back-and-forth fashion.

Thats a much better use for the droid.
Sheldon: I see what youre thinking.
And by pick, he means do away with entirely.
The toasts will be in Latin.
Sheldon counters with Klingon vows.
Amy agrees they should go for it.
Sheldon picks the next day, offering the Beverly Hills City Hall if shed like a destination wedding.
Their relationship has been a slow burn for years.
Dont we deserve a big sci-fi party to commemorate this occasion?
She says no as I yell, YES, at my television.
Once their names are called, Sheldon hesitates.
Thinking he might bug out all together, I pop my first antacid.

Then he spirals down a hilarious bit, comparing Amy to dark matter.
Now go find an R2-D2 so we can get this show on the road.
