Penny and Wil drink Sierra Nevada. Neat. Leonard drinks Bohemia. Also neat. ---

kaley Cuoco to me looked about as pretty as she’s ever looked in this episode. I think it was the makeup and the hair. ---

Besides Penny (and Wil) getting fired from the movie, I thought the “gorilla” might have been a reference to Howard’s mom. The word is, she’s not a small woman. When my mother was recovering from her surgeries (1 total hip, 1 total knee, 2 ankle fusions, 2 shoulder replacements) and I was her wetnurse, I explained to her in the hospital that as far as me bathing her was concerned, if she got herself into the bath tub, I’d be happy to hose her down with a firehose from outside the bathroom door. If she wanted any better service than that, she’d have to hire someone. Her doctor signed off on it, so her insurance would pay, and twice a week a LPN would come by for a couple of hours to bathe her. ---

It was either the last episode or the one before. It was the one where it was revealed that Wil Wheaton was also cast in the movie. ---

My thought is that Sheldon moves out in a fit of pique (we saw in the preview for next week that he doesn’t take Leonard and Penny’s news well), setting up a cliffhanger-of-sorts for the start of next season.
