This episode really started off well. It was definitely heading into the “best episode in a long time” territory. Then it … fizzled. The storylines just went nowhere. E.g., the way the dispute with Leonard and Penny over their first kiss was “resolved” in a really dumb way.

Oh, well.

Loved Stuart’s observations at the party.

(The way Stuart and Bert are being used now could be leveraged into a spinoff. I could even see Raj and Anu as the “stars”, though that would be bad.)

Let’s play Counterfactuals:  
In a world where Sheldon knows that Danishes weren’t invented by the Danes, how did one previously believe that Cheese Danishes were?
