Dushku perfect straight gal on 'Big Bang Theory'“Big Bang Theory” is officially destination desirable for geek hotties. On Thursday night’s episode, Eliza Dushku flowed through as an FBI agent investigating Howard for security clearance. Dushku – who has earned major geek cred thanks to roles on “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and “Dollhouse” – was less comedic than she was the set-up for our guys to be hilarious.

When it comes to Leonard and the ladies, hope springs eternal. |
