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

Since I’ve only seen ~3 episodes of Two Broke Girls, I didn’t immediately recognize Beth Behrs. Was she the woman in the first planetarium show? (I don’t think so) Brian ---

That was not even a little bit funny. Poor Walton Goggins, he got a dud one. ---

Gotta agree - this was not a good episode. Not even tolerable. ---

The only funny part was when Bernie pointed out that Howard was only mad that Raj took a guy who wasn’t him to House of Pies. ---

More of the same. Yawn. I guess we know why Leonard married Penny…he thrives on being abused by those closest to him. Thanks, Beverly. Am I the only one upset there’s no [House of Pies](http://www.houseofpies.com/)near me? (Near TBBT crew either, come to think of it.) ---

> [@muldoonthief](#): > > Yes, it was her who came up to Raj after the planetarium show in the opening sequence for a selfie. I think that **N9IWP** was asking whether this was the same woman who approached Raj at the end of “The Confidence Erosion,” the episode in which he first got the planetarium job. The answer to that is, no, it wasn’t. That woman was brunette, if I recall correctly, and in any case was not Beth Behrs. ---

I’m probably being wooshed here (hard to tell, I have no hair to feel moving), but the only plural refers to the number of pies, and I would expect a pie shop to have more than one (else J[ohn Cleese is likely to show up and shoot you](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWDdd5KKhts)) ---
