Can somebody please help out a Big Bang Theory fan?
I know that Raj can't talk to women without being drunk......but ever since that episode where Penny had to pratice mixing drinks and he started talking to her, I got all excited, but then after that episode, Raj just started not talking to women again, and it really bugs me that in one episode, he talks to women, and the next he doesn't. Should the writers just have stuck to Raj talking to women after that episode?
In sitcom writing character development tends to be limited, usually by the end of an episode everything is returned to how it was in the beginning.
In particular with Raj, his inability to chat up girls is his essential idiosyncrasy, without it he wouldn't be half as nerdy as the other guys, all of whom have issues with the opposite gender (or in Sheldon's case, other people in general.)
That isn't to say that he couldn't ever overcome his debilitating shyness, I just couldn't foresee such a thing happening without it being a majorly Raj-focused storyline or arc.
In any event, IMO to alleviate such a defining characteristic so early in the series seems inadvisable as it is a source of quite a bit of the Raj-oriented humor.

Raj's job needs to be more explored. A dedicated female scientist who believes in his work could be hilrarious. Especially is she is a for playboy playmate
