Yep. Image can make or break a career. But cookies heal wounds as long as they are chocolate chip.

Good one. Amy at the end.

SargeantFuzzyBoots

Cracking me up based on how the cookie situation turned out. Not oatmeal raisin!

Great episode - I love how each Nobel winner got a moment to shine and were really funny. And maaaaaaaaan, I can't stand those poser physicists. I mean, I wanted Sheldon and Amy to win the Nobel, but these two make me want that even more.

I really liked this episode. The Nobel prize winners were great while I thought that Kal Penn and Sean Astin's characters were super unlikable (as they should be). I did slightly prefer Howard's story for Halley better. I thought it was a real cute how he told her the story and I really liked the book Stuart made.

Also, chocolate chip over oatmeal raising any day.

I was kind of disappointed by this episode... Like, it's cool they got actual Nobel winning scientists (and apparently this is the first time they've had a woman scientist play herself?), but the plot felt kind of pointless. We already knew that the two dudes were going around trying to get attention, so this was basically more of the same.

I DID really like The Frightened Little Astronaut though! I would totally buy that book.

I finally watched this episode 10 minutes before Roxanne and I recorded for it. I actually liked it, though I agree with Roxanne that it didn't feel like anything was really accomplished Nobel wise.

And STUART'S ART.

I might see the endgame for Stuart in this. Recognition for his art. Success on the book level for Bernadette, and maybe a series of Astronaut stories based on Howard, but geared towards kids.

You can tell Sheldon has really grown up. He now sees how everyone saw him when he went on a hissy fit. And this was one was of epic proportions for Amy. But it was deserved. Of course Amy should have just let it slip to the media that there was a effort to deny her of any glory for her scientific breakthrough while men were trying to get the glory when they didn't really deserve it.

But the meltdown was so epic.

Loved Penny's reaction to it!

Nice episode. I may be the only one but I like Pemberton and Campbell. The best part in this story line was the support of Leonard and Penny. Amy's meltdown didn't work for me, it was okay but not funny.

Sweet storyline for Howard and Bernadette. I'm glad that Stuart gets some recognition for his art.

No, you're not the only one.

Absolutely! They are a great friends.

This episode was fun.

The children's book storyline was surprising but very sweet, and I like how they're bringing back Stuart's art.

That childrens books was really cute.
