Episode: 1
Title: The Matrimonial Momentum
The Gist: Season 9 starts a few hours later than when season 8 ended. All the trailers and promos showed Leonard and Penny getting married, so no spoilers there. Parallely, Sheldon and Amy are broken up and 'coping' with it.
-ve points: After raising the bar with season 8 finale, the ninth season's beginning seems lacklustre. It feels like you are watching all the trailers put together, with nothing extra.
+ve points: The Shamy track is fun. Add to it, Stuart's creepy attempts of consoling a sad Amy (and potentially Penny)
My Say: Maybe it is smart on TBBT's part to not match the expectations of the previous season. This episode leaves you wanting more, as clearly Leonard's past and Sheldon's present need to be explored.

Episode: 2
Title: The Separation Oscillation
The Gist: Episode 2 does the trick. It starts with a Sheldon-lip-lock-shock. It ends with Sheldon's goofy self confidence that he's "gonna get this girl (Amy) back".
+ve points:
My Say: A typical TBBT episode that tickles your ribs.

+ve points:
- The start of this episode more than compensates for the previous episode.
- The TBBT usuals: "Howard-Raj relationship" and "Fun with Flags" add to laugh
- A glimpse from Leonard's past
My Say: A typical TBBT episode that tickles your ribs.
