They went to an Indian casino.
It’s been established that Leonard’s only interested in the left ones.
I don’t remember, but the furniture and lamp shades should have been covered with plastic.
And let’s not forget the bathroom clowns.
Is there no way for costume and makeup to fatten up Carol Ann Sisi’s appearance enough to let her appear in person?
If Mrs. Wolowitz were basically a fat suit it would ruin the whole thing. Let her remain a Carlton/Vera/Maris unseen character.
except one time.
I did notice that was the ONLY time they’ve done that. I’m guessing that fan reaction was so bad to actually showing her at all (even in glimpses or random bodyparts) that they decided not to do it again.
The impressive Casey Sander. He plays rather older than his real age, 57. Was in NewsRadio and Abby’s midwestern dad in Dharma and Greg.
Zack is Brian Thomas Smith. And maybe, albeit conscious of his lesser IQ, is just taking the piss with the geniuses…
Also played the next-door neighbor on Grace Under Fire.
THAT’S where I knew him from! The glimpses of Howard’s Mom were funny in The Spoiler Alert Segmentation but that struck me as a one time gag.
Everyone who watched Season 3’s “The Cornhusker Vortex.”
This was without question the worst main plot premise of the entire series.
I was dreading watching this one, after seeing the trailer at the end of the previous episode. I was hoping that they would throw in a twist or something to make it not completely trite. They didn’t.
Completely ruined the rest of the episode.
(I mentioned in the previous episode’s thread that maybe they would use this to give Penny’s last name without giving her last name. I.e., her last name would be Zack’s, temporarily. Not even that little crumb of humor.)
It’s like they have forgotten that these are STEM nerds. It’s now a relationship show. It’s Friends 2.0. (Which also did the Las Vegas wedding bit.)
Note that Leonard was going to wait until Monday to do the paperwork. It was Penny’s idea to get Zack over to sign them ASAP. Leonard wasn’t even going to print the forms then.
So Zack comes over, has some usual Zack lines. And then is a background character for the rest of the episode. If he’s going to be there at the table, give him more than one line. Otherwise, send him home.
The interior of Casa Wolowitz is completely different from when it was shown before. I hate it when shows can’t keep their set geography fixed.
The real odd thing: Mrs. FtG is displaying more and more interest in the show. She “doesn’t mind” if I watch it while she’s still up. And then she actually watches the show. (She still has to ask "Which one is Amy?) Too bad the show is so bad now.

He drank during Howard’s bachelor party in order to follow the social custom, but I don’t remember what he was drinking.

I think in that episode Leonard also expressed surprise that Sheldon was going to be drinking, and Sheldon’s response was along the lines of “we’re at a bachelor party, and the social norm is to drink. Therefore, I will drink.” So there’s some continuity there. In this episode, Sheldon seemed to make that connection that Bernie’s dad was standing in for his own WRT the tradition of having a beer with your dad.
“Do you mind? We’re having a moment.”
Some subtle character growth on his part, which is nice to notice.
Wolowitz’s character drives nuts. The guy can’t sit still. He’s always tweaking like he’s hopped up on caffeine or something. Watch him next time - he constantly moves and twitches.
Amy’s strange little smile after Sheldon smacked her ass - I agree with Dewey Finn:
Looking forward to seeing how THAT story will play out.
Also, she has a little bit of a spanking fetish. Remember the episode where she faked being sick after she had gotten better and had way more of a reaction to Sheldon punishing her by spanking than she really should have?
I think it’s just a desire to get physical with him. She had a virtual orgasm when Sheldon rubbed Vaseline on her chest.
Amy is a pressure cooker filled with repressed sexuality. She started venting once she began spending time with Penny, but I’m still waiting for her to explode. I wouldn’t be surprised if she finally lost control and raped Sheldon one day soon.
it was vicks vap-ro-rub.
i’m thinking that amy decides to go with zach and listen to npr.
Don’t forget about the bath.
That’s not the first urban legend/myth they’ve presented on the show. Two that I recall:
1)Drivers of red cars are ticketed more by police than other colors.
2)Catherine the Great having sex with a horse.
