Thanks for this thread!

Just a little over an hour to go!

FoxPhile

Thanks for the thread! I was getting worried.

Charlone

Thanks for opening this thread!

Thanks for the thread, Susanne! Thank goodness FF is back up and running.

That may be the most perfect cold open ever.
Oh Sheldon and his googling.

Whimsical Elf

Leonard and Penny are very cute in this episode.

Loved Sheldon and Raj in the mine, and Sheldon's singing with the Texan accent.
My live stream has given out for the first time this season (can't get lucky all the time, I guess) and in the middle of a Shamy conversation! How dare they?!

Captain Riterra Smith

Funyuns and Ranch Doritos! So much love!
I question if the income issue will ever be laid to rest completely.
Am I the only one who finds rats sort of cute? You know besides being filthy.

Loved the L/P plot Although the picture was a very lazy move... A 5 years old promotional picture? Really? They get millions of dollars for one episode and there's no time for a new picture? I'm disappointed!

FoxPhile

As long as they're really, really far away, or you know, in a cage, they're adorable.

Sheldon googling just never gets old. And the song was a riot. A very grim, depressing riot - but funny nonetheless.

The Leonard/Penny bit was cute, but something tells me we haven't heard the last of the money issues with them.

SargeantFuzzyBoots

Great episode! So many feels from Leonard and Penny. While it would have been nice to have a new pic of them, I'm moreso just excited over Penny actually going out an getting a Best Fiance Ever frame for it. I really hope we see it on display in the apartment soon.

Sheldon and Raj's heartfelt conversation was just perfect; really great insights into Sheldon's emotions about his career, and Raj's move to California - the Voyager bit was perfect.

And, ah, the continued somewhat creepy mother/son dynamic Howard and Bernadette sometimes have.

Captain Riterra Smith

I think they missed a golden opportunity for Bernie to use Debbie's voice during the off screen tiff.
Oh Amy. A more perfect girlfriend she could not be. Waiting at the top of the tunnel. (for 11 minutes but she would have stayed for hours.) Transcribing pointless audio notes, bringing her guy snacks and not even judging him for wanting to watch Hannah Montana.

SargeantFuzzyBoots

Seasons one and two weren't bad.

But, yeah, Amy was great, as always. I've always figured she found that transcribing and stuff for Sheldon rather sexy.

I liked this one a lot compared to the previous episode. The chat between Raj and Sheldon was nice because I always enjoy those deep conversations on this show. And me like the LP scenes as well. At first, I didn't expected it to lead into some more conflict but I'm glad it was good for them. I mean, everyone 'cept Sheldon and Raj had a nice ending.

Really enjoyed the episode! I'm too tired to make long comments tonight though. Wait for my livetweets on the rewatch or listen to the podcast Thursday morning.

I was re-reading and re-reading her post to see where she said seasons one and two were bad, then I realized you meant Hannah Montana and not TBBT.
