Another good episode!

I burst out laughing when Penny hit Sheldon in the face with a cushion like she said she would. Two birds with one stone - she got to thwack Sheldon, and he got his airbag. For which he thanked her. Priceless.

 

[Roger Wilco]

Excellent episode again - like all that prominently feature Sheldon.

 

[Rowan Sjet]

Man, that ending killed me! Loved the sweeping 'cloak'.

 

[Captain Craig]

EXCELLENT

Loved it all.

"Don't treat me like a child. .... Now hurry up I have to return my Star Wars sheets."

Sheldon: Penny, we're friends right?
Penny: Yes
Sheldon: I'd like to now invoke the right of friendship...The Favor!!

The airbag moment with Penny!!

The ending with the cleaning ladies was so awesome. If they had said something about a chupacabra I might have never recovered.

 

[Kryton]

Rats don't make toast and cut the crust off of it!

Not their best episode this year but a fun one. Need more Sarah Gilbert as Sheldon's foil. Loved Sheldon holding on for dear life going over the speed bump on Howard's scooter, btw.

OT: I had a weird dream last night in which Sheldon accidentally burned down a coffee house and everyone was pissed at him. Which is odd 'cause they don't hang out at one like Friends did or for that matter a diner like Seinfeld had.

 

[Captain Craig]

I think its a toss up on which food-esque hangout will end up dominating.
Either the University Cafeteria or Cheesecake Factory. We've seen them in both a few times equally I'd say.

This may have been the funniest this season.

The driving simulator was fantastic. I loved the bit where they switch it from the APC...

Howard: "Let's see, tank, Batmobile..."
Sheldon: "Oooh--"
Leonard: "NO!"

....

"Well, what color do you want it?"

"Y'know that light-blue that Luke's lightsaber was...before the digital remastering?"

...

"How did you get on the second floor of the Glendale Galleria?"

 

[Finn]

That reminds me. Is it me or does that "The Cheesecake Factory" Penny works at doesn't even look like the real thing- the deco seems to be more sparse and lighter, and somehow it seems small. I know its TV but if they put the effort to do all that physics babble, they could have spruced up the place and made it look like it might be bigger. I dunno.

 

[Captain Craig]

^^
Yeah I have questions regarding their representation of The Cheesecake Factory. Maybe they don't have a hard line standard for each chain(like a Chilis, TGIFridays) cause the outfit Penny wears and the interior of the restraunt are not like the one near me AT ALL.

The servers do not wear those yellow cardigan looking tops. The place is full of brass, hard wood and frosted glass section dividers. The bar and patio both have marble accents. Oh, well just saying is all.

 

[Gary Mitchell]

^ You mean The Cheesecake Factory is a real place? I sadly have never seen one.

 

[Captain Craig]

^^^^
Yep. Its real.

The Cheesecake Factory

Look for a location near you.
