Excellent episode. But I fully expected the girls to have laid an ambush for Priya in the tag. Penny keyed something into her phone as she and Priya were walking up the stairs. But yeah, Priya has to go. Penny needs to stand up for her right of first dibs on Leonard, even if she rejected him before. ---

(I am quite certain we had seen Amy Farrah Fowler drinking prior to this, specifically in the episode where that guy caused her to say “Hoo.”) ---

What Exit - The writers let Leonard ignore Priya so easily because she’s not truly the girl for him. ---

> [@Nom\_de\_Plume](#): > > So, increasingly, I feel that Penny is probably the hottest woman on TV. But I mean Penny, not the woman who plays her. I’ve seen Ms Cuoco on talk shows and in magazines and thought…meh. Is it the hair and make-up staff, or is it because we see Penny through the eyes of Leonard and the gang? Or maybe I’m alone in this feeling. What do you say, BBT Fans? I’d go with Penny, but I’d be thinking of Bernadette. ---

Great episode! Once again, my DVR didn’t catch the very end of the credits. Was there a punch line after Penny and Priya were walking up the stairs? ---

Penny was entering her apartment and said to herself, “Amy was right; I do want to fling my poo at her!” ---

It was an OK episode. I didn’t like the ending because I thought of that and I said, “No that’s too easy.” The writers should’ve been able to come up with something more original than that. Another thing is if Sheldon can hack into the US government, didn’t he hack into some atomic facility, he should simply be able to hack in and get his stuff back or at least Howard should’ve been able to. ---

> [@Half\_Man\_Half\_Wit](#): > > When Penny said she could name all the Kardashians, at first I thought she’d just mispronounced Cardassians, and went: “Hmm, Gul Dukat, Garak,…”, shortly before realising that I’d just out-geeked BBT. :dubious: I know, I thought the same thing. ---

Over familiarity with World of Warcraft kind of ruined the overall arc as stealing stuff in the game doesn’t really work that way. There wouldn’t be anything to give back. But I didn’t let it get to me and liked the episode. ---
