Mayim Bialik in car crash, might lose finger

doubleohfive

Fleet Admiral
The 36-year-old actress was reportedly driving through the intersection in a white Volvo at about noon when she was hit by a car full of tourists from Chile. According to TMZ, her entire hand was severely damaged, and the finger was almost completely severed.

I'd love to say that tourists on Hollywood Blvd weren't such a nuisance but then things like this go and happen.

Poor girl. I hope they can re-attach the finger.
 
So, I had three thoughts simultaneously while reading this.

1. This is why we need self driving cars sooner than later.
2. I hope they can repair her hand and she doesn't lose her finger.
3. How are they going to explain this on BBT.

And while typing that I had a fourth thought,

4. Was the finger in question the middle finger?

They handled Kaley Cuoco's foot so they'll probably manage.


I imagine there's a better chance her finger will be less than 100% functional than she will lose it outright. Hopefully she will recover completely. Looking at the crash photo it's hard to understand how her hand would've got in such a state.
 
That's terrible, hope she recovers well.
Agreed. Couldn't have happened to a better person: kind, beautiful, funny, and stupid smart. (AFF has nothing on her brains.)

I wish her the best.

She seems like the kind of person who'd actually have fun with it.

I can see LL&P salute jokes galore in her future.
 
Glad to hear she's keeping all parts and pieces. Wish her a speedy recovery. What a horrible thing to have happen.
 
UPDATE 4:15 PM: We've learned that Bialik is going to remain an eight-fingered, two-thumbed gal, thanks to this Twitter post:

Mayim Bialik
@missmayim
(husband typing) In pain but will keep all my fingers. If u wanna See pre accident me watch The Soup tonight lol #joelmchale @TheSoup
 
I've no idea who she is, but glad to hear she'll be okay.

I suspect she'll lose good mobility in that finger but if it's a pinky even on her dominant hand? Meh.
 
I'm glad to hear she won't lose any fingers. I hope she retains full mobility in that hand.
 
And don't watch (and somehow avoided commercials for) the Big Bang Theory?

Don't watch The Big Bang Theory, rarely watch CBS shows even more rarely watch commercials.

From the above YT clip, looks like I've made the right call to not watch TBBT.

For the purposes of presenting the virtues of the show, it's a poorly selected clip. But a fan favorite.

The show was at it's peak in the early seasons when it was 4 geeks and one cute girl. Recently the estrogen oversaturation and dumbing down of the once-great-Sheldon has diminished the final product. Seasons 1-3 were golden.
 
It has always seemed to me to be a show to reinforce geek stereotypes and make them even more of something to laugh at and portray as people clueless around "normal" people, especially girls and women.

While I wouldn't argue that is/was the perceived hook by intention or happenstance that's not what it's evolved into.

There still will be a trace of that but there is also at times a demonstration, more via Penny than any character, that non-genre people have perhaps been overly fixated on that stereotype and these "geeks", "nerds", "gamers" and cosplayers at their core are just having fun, their fun just isn't tailgating tossing corn-hole and drinking beer while quoting stats from the '85 championship (insert) team.

They quote Firefly or stats from Superman issue #268 for fun.
