I figured with Sheldon becoming the clear breakout character and Jim Parsons having been a shoo in for an Emmy, even more episodes were going to revolve around the character. This is not necessarily a bad thing as long as he remains an caricature of a real person rather than be more humanized, but The Big Bang Theory has always been a ensemble series. Two Sheldon episodes in a row hints at Jumping the Shark. Just how long can the same shtick be repeated done?The answer, at least or now, is…well, okay for now. Sheldon still comes up with unique and amusing weirdness Tonight, he has become obsessed with extending his own lifespan beyond the, if Sheldon and parsons are the same age, 94 years genetics estimates he will last. That is 24 years above the Biblically allotted three score and ten,. Not bad, but not good enough for Sheldon, who believes will just miss the window for technology allowing him to transfer his consciousness into a robot body.
So he begins a health nut regimen of rabbit food and exercise. The plan leads to two unfortunate fart jokes an penny in a tight outfit stretching provocatively before jogging with him. I guess the former is to be expected in a Chuck Lorre produced sitcom. As for the latter, at least Lorre understands Kaley Cuoco is a big reason guys tune in to the show.
Failing all else, Sheldon goes into full Howard Hughes mode by locking himself in his room while employing a mobile monitor of himself to go about his daily life. It does not seem any more antagonistic to his friends than normal until he injures himself scurrying out to meet Steve Wozniak, one of the founders of Apple, and sprains his ankle. The accident leads to Sheldon accepting he cannot make allowances for every possibility. The episode ends with another chorus of “Soft Kitty” did not see that coming, huh?
There we a few laugh out loud moments. Mobile Sheldon was also inspired. Stooping to not just one, but two fart jokes was something I hope we do not see more of. Wozniak, appearing as himself, was stiff even for a non-actor guest star. He only had three lines, but could not even play himself well. How did that happen?

"The Cruciferous Vegetable Amplification" was entertaining, but i hope the writers remember there are more characters besides Sheldon for future episodes.
