Eh, Sheldon didn't bother me nearly as much as he bothered many of you. Yes he was wrong and he realized it, tried to make it right and felt terrible about it. He loves Amy and in his own clueless way he thought he was doing his wife a favor and she would be happy to have the time to pursue their work together that she said she was excited about but didn't have the time for. Plus in Sheldon's mind, there is nothing better or more important than working to answer the really monumental physics questions that are the focus of their research. I could see how he would assume his wife felt the same way. But yes, he was totally wrong and had no right to go to the university president rather than talking to her and encouraging her to do it if that was what she wanted.
I wasn't pissed off at Sheldon or the episode so I found the irony of Sheldon mansplaining mansplaining hilarious, but irony is one of my favorite types of humor.
I believe Sheldon when he said he didn't do it maliciously and I like that he expressed his sincere gratitude that Amy explained exactly why it was wrong and why it upset her so much. He is very literal and doesn't think the way normal people do and needs those things spelled out for him. But I think it's obvious that he loves Amy more than anything and is willing to do whatever he can to make her happy and make things right when he screws up.
I liked the Leonard and Penny scenes in this episode and recently watched last season's bonus feature in which Chuck Lorre spoke about their relationship and how nice it was that they were so comfortable with each other and could joke around together. (I think it was Lorre who mentioned it, but it could have been another producer.) Anyway, I have been noticing that too for a while and I find it very enjoyable to watch. They are usually very cute together.
I loved Bernadette's cosmonaut role-playing character - Melissa Rauch is so talented with her voice impressions, even just speaking in her Bernadette voice is kind of amazing when you hear her normal voice. I also liked the Raj and Howard scene in the planetarium, along with Bernadette's and Leonard's reactions.
