I’m starting this thread in anticipation of tonight’s episode. ---

It’s nice to see that they are picking up directly from last week’s episode. ---

Sheldon has “the talk” with his mother. Priceless! ---

I thought the best part of the episode was the button. FF 20 yrs from and Stuart still pathetic and all alone. ---

Kinda surprised they went there, but found the show funnier than it’s been in several episodes now. They should have revealed Penny’s motive even after she ruined the game. ---

The wife is positive that Bernadette has gone down a cup size. Anybody else think so? ---

> [@johnpost](#): > > best line. > > maybe we should sit at the table. > [@Digital\_is\_the\_new\_Analog](#): > > I’m going to need another clue! Roughly by my recall. Sheldon wanted to sit and talk with his mom. She said , “let’s sit on the couch”. Sheldon said he wanted to sit on a piece of furniture they hadn’t fornicated on. Mom hesitates and says. ---

> [@silenus](#): > > The wife is positive that Bernadette has gone down a cup size. Anybody else think so? I’ll have to rewatch it. It strikes me the possibilities are: 1. She went down a cup size. B. She isn’t wearing the cardigan. III. She’s wearing a different style dress 4th. She’s wearing a different style bra. In the interest of complete disclosure, I should admit I am not the owner/operator of breasts, although I’ve been an admirer of them for longer than I care to admit. And I submit that there’s more (or less, for that matter) to them than meets the eye. 🆒 No matter how hard I look. :o ---

Terrible episode. Unfortunately, I’m just watching out of inertia. BTW people were total jerks towards Raj ---

Ooh, a _Demon with a Glass Hand_ reference, impressive. If Sheldon had been there, he’d have surely pointed out that it was filmed at the Bradbury Building in Los Angeles, which, although not named for noted science fiction author Ray Bradbury, is nonetheless significant because it was also later used in the filming of _Blade Runner_. But he wasn’t. And I totally [called it](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=661142) on Amy Farrah Fowler winning a Nobel Prize _and_ Penny becoming a famous actress. ---

> [@Polerius](#): > > BTW people were total jerks towards Raj No they weren’t. If any of my friends pulled a stunt like that with no warning I’d be peeved too. Raj needs to get hit by a bus so they can replace him with Stuart, who is less pathetic. ---

> [@Polerius](#): > > Terrible episode. Unfortunately, I’m just watching out of inertia. > > BTW people were total jerks towards Raj I disagree on both. Best episode this season. I was laughing through much of it. On the Raj thing, no, just no. Don’t force your friends into a stupid game they don’t want to play. They were actually very nice to him all things considered especially after his goofy lie for sympathy about being a lonely fat kid. ---
