Ep 17. The Comic-Con Conundrum

In The Big Bang Theory season 10 episode 17, titled "The Comic-Con Conundrum", the gang heads to San Diego Comic-Con, the holy grail of all things geeky. The episode opens with the guys discussing the highlights of their past Comic-Con experiences and their plans for this year's event. Sheldon, of course, has an elaborate itinerary (complete with an Excel spreadsheet) that he expects everyone to follow to the letter.

Upon arriving at the convention center, the group splits up to pursue their different interests. Howard, Raj, and Stuart head to the vendor booths to search for rare comic books, while Sheldon and Amy attend a panel on the physics of superheroes. Meanwhile, Bernadette wanders around the convention floor in her cosplay costume, much to the delight of fellow convention-goers.

As the day progresses, the gang faces various challenges and unexpected surprises. Howard and Raj get into a bidding war over a coveted comic book, while Stuart struggles to sell anything at his booth. Sheldon and Amy attend a disappointing panel where a scientist attempts to debunk the science behind superhero movies. Bernadette gets lost in the massive crowd and has to rely on her general contractor skills to navigate her way back to the group.

The highlight of the episode, however, is when the gang attends a private party held by a famous comic book artist. While mingling with other industry insiders, the group discovers a scandalous secret about the artist that threatens to ruin his reputation. The gang is forced to decide whether to expose the truth and risk ruining the artist's career or to keep their mouths shut and enjoy the party.

As the episode comes to a close, the gang reunites to reflect on their experiences at Comic-Con. Despite the challenges they faced, they all agree that it was an amazing experience and can't wait to do it all again next year.

Overall, "The Comic-Con Conundrum" is a fun and entertaining episode that perfectly captures the spirit of the Big Bang Theory. It's a must-watch for anyone who's ever attended a comic book convention or has an appreciation for all things geeky.
