To celebrate this week’s new episode of “The Big Bang Theory,” we thought we’d share with our fellow geeks our top 5 Howard Wolowitz quotes from the first three seasons. Feel free to comment on any quotes you think should have made the list. And you can check out our Top 5 Sheldon quotes as well.

#5. From The Barbarian Sublimation

Raj: What’s with him? (Pointing at Sheldon sleeping)

Leonard: Penny is keeping him up at night.

Wolowitz: Me too! But probably in a different way.

#4. From The Panty Piñata Polarization

Wolowitz: If it’s “creepy” to use the Internet, military satellites and robot aircraft to find a house full of gorgeous young models so I can drop in on them unexpected, then FINE, I’m “creepy.”

#3. From The Gothowitz Deviation

Wolowitz: They’re called tattoo sleeves… Put them on, have freaky sex with some freaky girl with her business pierced, take them off, and I can still be buried in a Jewish cemetery.

#2. From The Psychic Vortex

Wolowitz: I once dated a girl who believed she was abducted by aliens.

Leonard: And that didn’t bother you?

Wolowitz: Au contraire; it meant she was gullible and open to a little probing.

#1. From The Dead Hooker Juxtaposition

Wolowitz: Penny, let me take this opportunity to point out that you are looking particularly ravishing today.

Penny: Not with a thousand condoms, Howard.

Wolowitz: So there IS a number.

To get everyone excited for this week’s new episode of The Big Bang Theory, we wanted to share with everyone our top 5 Sheldon quotes from the first three seasons. Feel free to comment on any quotes you think should have made the list. Stay tuned for more The Big Bang Theory-related top 5 lists in the near future!

#5. From The Spaghetti Catalyst

Sheldon: I didn’t want to upset you. Howard made it very clear that my allegiance should be to male comrades before women who sell their bodies for money.

Leonard: Is it possible he said, “bro’s before ho’s”?

Sheldon: Yes, but I rephrased it to avoid offending the ho’s.

#4. From The Grasshopper Experiment

Sheldon: I’ll have a diet Coke.

Penny: Can you please order a cocktail? I need to practice mixing drinks.

Sheldon: Fine… I’ll have a virgin Cuba Libre.

Penny: That’s… rum and Coke without the rum.

Sheldon: Yes, and would you make it diet?

#3. From The Dumpling Paradox

Leonard: Sheldon, think this through. You’re going to ask Howard to choose between sex and Halo.

Sheldon: No, I’m going to ask him to choose between sex and HALO 3. As far as I know sex has not been upgraded to include high-def graphics and enhanced weapons systems.

Leonard: You’re right, all sex has is nudity, orgasms and human contact.

Sheldon: My point.

#2. From The Big Bran Hypothesis

Sheldon: Oh, gravity… thou art a heartless bitch!

#1. From The Pants Alternative

Penny: So what do you say Sheldon, are we your X-men?

Sheldon: No, the X-men were named for the X in Charles Xavier. Since I am Sheldon Cooper, you will be, my C-men.

#5. Clark rushes into a tornado to save Lana
In Season One finale, “Tempest” a tornado warning is issued throughout Smallville while there is a dance going on that Clark is attending with Chloe. Lana Lang is driving back from dropping off her boyfriend Whitney at the bus depot as he head off to basic training for the Marines. In typical form for any female with the initials L.L. in the Superman world, she pulls over her truck, spots Clark as he rushed to save her and watches the vehicle get pulled into the twister. Knowing what he has to do Clark rushes in after her.

The first season of Smallville was very “freak of the week” where Clark would have to stop a new Kryptonite infected foe who threatened life in Smallville while trying to maintain some normality along with his powers. This moment epitomizes all that Clark had learned in the season, to save the people he loves he is willing to do whatever it takes.

#4. Clark saves his family without powers
In the fifth season episode, “Mortal”, Clark no longer has his abilities, taken away from him by his father Jor-El, who is in the Fortress of Solitude. He took them away as a punishment for not returning in time to complete his training. Looking forward to living a normal life Clark is helping rebuild his house after a meteor shower (more on that later) when his mother, father, and Lana are taken hostage by three men who want Clark to steal a formula that gives them their own powers, believing Clark still has his. The moment comes when Clark cannot get his hands on the serum so instead he places a flash bang in a briefcase that stuns the foe and with some ingenuity, Clark is able to not only cut his source of power, electricity he harnessed, but to knock him unconscious. Even without his abilities Clark was still able to use his head in order to save those he loves, something that he will rely upon in his future whenever his abilities are lost or when the mind is more powerful than might.

#3. Clark leaps, a step toward flight
The episode that came next in season five, “Hidden”, Clark had his powers return. A former high school classmate broke into a hidden ICBM silo and aims it at Smallville with the intention of killing at the “meteor freaks” that live there. Clark and Chloe try to persuade him to call it off but the classmate is so determined he shoots Clark, killing him. At that moment Lionel Luthor, Lex’s father, is awakened from his “possessed” state and takes Clark to the Fortress where Clark is resurrected and given his powers back. Jor-El made Lionel a vessel that he could inhabit whenever Clark truly needed help. With his powers back, Clark rushes towards the silo and leaped in a single bound onto the missile, pulled out the nuclear core and falls back to Earth, returning home in burned clothing but otherwise in good shape. Here Clark did not necessarily want his powers back because there will be a price to pay for it but despite any reservations he knew what he had to do whether he had powers or not, he saw the bigger picture in the end.

#2. Clark saves a boy from a meteor
In Season Four’s “Commencement” there is a massive meteor shower made of Kryptonite headed towards Smallville, this one hiding a ship in it that holds two of Zod’s disciples and Brainiac. The main course of action is Clark must find the Kryptonian crystal that will bring to fruition the Fortress of Solitude. While he does this he comes across a little boy who got separated from his father and is in the path of a meteor, Clark gets him out of the way and protects the boy from the blast with his body. Clark returns him to his father, enough said.

#1. Clark evaporates a river to save 2 lives
In the 7th season premiere “Bizarro” Clark is in the middle of fighting his doppelganger who is made strong by Kryptonite and has a warped sense of what is right and wrong. During their fight the shock waves destroys a dam, unleashing the river behind it, heading towards a father and son fishing. When the father trips and knocks himself out the boy cries out for him to wake up and that’s when Clark arrives to use his heat vision to evaporate the river heading towards them. When it’s gone he looks at the boy, gives him a nod and disappears. This is #1 because in the middle of a fight he doesn’t forget to help those who get caught in the middle and when the boy looks at him he gives him the nod that Christopher Reeves would give in the Superman films.

There you go folks, the top five moments in Smallville that showcase the qualities that will make Clark Superman as he continues his journey and with the 10th season I’m sure there will be more.

Now we see how unrattled Dexter has become, how much harder it is to juggle work, marriage, fatherhood and being a serial killer. How even though Dexter seems almost perfect to us, we see him struggle, how hard it is to battle an experienced serial killer and how he loses it. This episode had me completely gobsmacked at the end, I cried so hard I couldn’t believe it. (I’m a mum, I blame it on that.)

This episode and season in short; Dexter has become obsessed with the Trinity killer, which is also Agent Lundy’s obsession, and after his death becomes Debra’s obsession. Dexter is determined that Trinity must die by his hand and looses control of the rest of his life, even getting thrown in jail briefly for the sake of the cause. He finally gets him, and the Dexter series could easily have ended there.

Dexter comes home to check his messages, and calls Rita back to tell her he’s on his way. Rita’s telephone starts ringing nearby and the baby starts crying. Dexter breathlessly runs to the sound of the baby finding his wife bled out in the bathtub and their son sitting in a pool of blood on the floor. The episode ends with Dexter sitting on the lawn, his son in his arms-muttering to the police “it was me.”

#4. Season 2, Episode 6: Dex, Lies and Videotapes

I have to admit, I think Dexter is brilliant. He is a genius, in his own sick and twisted way. That’s why I love it when he faces a challenge. He’s like the MacGyver of murderers. (No offense, Murdoch..)

Rita invites Lila to dinner after meeting her, being jealous of the other woman and wanting to get a closer look. Later that night she learns that Lila joined Dexter on the road trip and announces she never wants to see him again. He also suddenly gets a copycat, and needs to take care of him. Debra is sour with him in this episode, because Agent Lundy seems to prefer Dexter over her, as their father once did. He also learns that Harry had an affair with his biological mother, and finds he now questions his foster fathers motive for taking him in.

#3. Season 2, Episode 5: The Dark Defender

I love this episode, because Dexter opens up for the first time. Even though I hate Lila, she serves her purpose well. Dexter has a revelation in this episode, he remembers that there were three men who killed his mum – cue revenge. Of course, Dexter in an awesome leather cape is pure win. This episode was great, mostly because I’m a comic geek, and the idea of “The Dark Defender” was awesome.

In this episode, as mentioned, Dexter remembers detail of his mothers murder, and starts investigating the whereabouts of the murderers. Only one is available living under the witness protection program in Naples, running a bar. He drives down to confront him, with his “sponsor” Lila in tow. (For those of you who don’t remember, Dexter lied that he was a substance addict, in Narcotics anonymous, to keep Rita’s suspicions at bay. Dexters marina is now also under surveillance, something Dexter soon will learn.

#2. Season 2, Episode 2: Waiting to Exhale

We all wondered what would happen next. The first episode of Season 2 was more of a gentle push into a “this is what life is like for Dexter now” mindset. Doakes is on his every move after the turmoil of saving his foster sister and killing his true brother. The loss of his brother and his secure line to his foster fathers’ rules is shaky, and he’s not even getting to kill people – and then a complete surprise – his body dumping site is discovered.

In this episode Dexter has lots of things to deal with – The arrival of FBI agent Lundy, a noted serial killer hunter who is on a mission to find the “Bay Harbour Butcher” as the media has dubbed him. The death of Paul (Rita’s ex-husband and father of Astor and Cody) has Rita suspicious of Dexter and he has to make up a story to regain her trust. Doakes stalks him after hours, forcing Dexter to live a normal life. This means no killings and this has him on edge.

#1 Season 1, Episode 1: Dexter

The first is always the best,in my opinion. It has to be, in order to really sell of course. Even before the intro-song is over, I love this show. Dexter – the lovable serial killer. (Based on the books by Jeff Lindsay, starting with Darkly dreaming Dexter)

In this opening episode we get to know Dexter, a blood spatter analycist working for Miami metro P.D. He was raised by a cop, foster father Harry and has a loving sister Debra, who also works with the police. Dexter has a girlfriend, Rita, and at night he hunts criminals, murderers, rapists and he exterminates them. Dexters foster father Harry taught him how not to get caught and how he should act so no one suspects him after learning Dexter he has a compulsion to kill at a young age.

Yes, I know season 3 is left completely out. I just happen to think the other seasons were better. The second season really builds meat on the bones of Dexter the character – and I really love that. For now – let’s all wait for season 5 with this trailer. Enjoy!

If you still feel like the wait is too long; enjoy Showtime’s Dexter web series; “Dexter Early Cuts” or “The Dark Defender” series that recaps Dexter quite nicely.
