Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaKaley Cuoco appears in two scenes: in one, she is filmed standing behind the bar at the Cheesecake Factory, and in the second, she sits in the gang's living room behind a table. This was to hide her broken leg due to a horseback riding accident.
- GoofsLikely Howard would not have been "set back two years" as he would likely never be given a security clearance. However, as he works for NASA's JPL (Jet Propulsion Lab) he might well have been fired from that job.
- Quotes
Leonard Hofstadter: What are you doing up?
Sheldon Cooper: Sleep eludes me, Leonard.
Leonard Hofstadter: Really? Maybe sleep has met you before.
- Crazy creditsCHUCK LORRE PRODUCTIONS, #309 Following Kaley Cuoco's horseback riding injury, I've instituted new rules governing acceptable leisure activities for the cast of The Big Bang Theory. 1. No friggin' horses. This includes those found on merry-go-rounds and in front of supermarkets. 2. The only motorcycle you can get on is the one you're accidentally crushing in your big-ass, air-bagged SUV. 3. All cast member motor vehicles must adhere to U.S. Army guidelines for attacking Kandahar. (Galecki's Tesla is a terrifically fuel efficient vehicle but is essentially a hundred thousand dollar go-cart. From now on it is only to be used for backing down his driveway and retrieving mail.) 4. The only permissible boating activity at Comic-Con is in your hotel room bathtub. 5. Alcohol should only be ingested at home, and while seated in a big comfy chair. Wild and carefree dancing that celebrates your incredible and well-deserved success is only allowed on New Year's Eve, and only with a sober celebrity parasitic flunky to lean on. 6. And finally, sexual acts must be performed while horizontal. Certain high-risk Kama Sutra positions might be allowed, but only after consultation with Chuck Lorre. Like with dancing, a spotter might be required.

Featured review
This was a really fun and funny episode from the fourth series of 'The Big Bang Theory'.
Every character gets their own little moment to shine, and it was good to see Sheldon actually having some moments of guilt. Of course he adapts to this in his own unique way.
From Raj with the rum cake, to Penny and Sheldon at the bar, this episode moves at pace, and feels quite 'complete', which certain episodes from the fourth series have not. It still does feel like a show that's learning as it goes.
Overall, this was a great deal of fun, and I enjoyed it.
When it's on top form this sitcom is very good indeed.
