- TriviaFor some reason, Kaley Cuoco is omitted from the credits - despite appearing in the episode. In the beginning of the episode while Leonard, Howard and Raj are walking up the stairs the credits start with "Starring Johnny Galecki, Jim Parsons, Simon Helberg, Kunal Nayyar. ..." instead of "Starring Johnny Galecki, Jim Parsons, KALEY CUOCO, Simon Helberg, Kunal Nayyar. ..."
- GoofsWhile playing SWTOR Leonard tells Raj the Empire is on his tail, indicating they are playing Republic characters, which is further supported by the view of Raj's laptop. However, the screen shot of Bernadette's character clearly shows she is playing a Sith Inquisitor (armor in SWTOR is specific to both class and faction).

The Weekend Vortex
How Amy puts up with Sheldon I'll never know. I think it's a testament to the performance Jim Parsons puts in weekly that makes you still tolerate and like him, because in the wrong hands he'd be unbearable as a character.
I liked this episode, I thought it had some nice moments, and you can't deny that the interplay between the cast and their chemistry is great.
I wish they'd spend more time on Raj though. His loneliness has been present in lots of episodes lately, and they sort of gloss over it or not develop it much further.
It would be quite ground-breaking for the show to actually tackle this in more depth.
