Leonard has bid $800 on a "minature" time machine prop from the actual movie The Time Machine from 1960. With Sheldon, Howard, and Raj watching along, they all expect someone to bid higher from there. But with only 15 seconds left on the computer, no one has making Leonard the only bidder and winner of the item. Sheldon wonders out loud why no one bid more. When the giant prop appears in the lobby, he understands. As they struggle to move it downstairs, Penny walks by and is upset because she's late for work. Sheldon suggests jumping roof to roof which Penny takes seriously though she has her doubts. Leonard sits down in his machine and pretends to go to a "Star Trek" star date to get a cloaking device to visit Alexander Graham Bell's date of inventing the telephone inconspicuously. As he's doing this, the others dance around like they're in speeded-film mode! Penny then arrives-looking messed up-and complains about being stuck with a family who tries to pass their son as a potential husband. She then looks at the time machine and tells them to grow up. Only Leonard, who's long had a crush on Penny, considers just that as he offers to sell many of his collectibles to the comic book shop to the consternation of his three friends who all bid on his items especially the recent time machine. When he next encounters her, Penny actually thinks Leonard is pretty charming with his items though she's glad he's attempting to be more "normal" too. As she plants a small kiss on him, Leonard seems to think he has a chance with her before a muscled man arrives to pick Penny for a date. As she accepts, the others go back to playing with the time machine...Not as funny as previous ones but there are some highlights that still make "The Big Bang Theory" one of the more unusual sitcoms on television today. I loved the dream sequences like Leonard's taking Penny to work by opening the broken elevator and going down the pulley carrying her or Sheldon's nightmare of encountering Moorlocks while taking his turn on the time machine. Twice! Howard and Raj provide their own moments and, yes, that dance they did with Sheldon was deliriously funny! Once again, you rock, Chuck Lorre!
