The premiere also had almost a minute of "previously on TBBT", so it's kinda the same length.

Good point.
Just checked some S8 eps, seems lots of episodes were under 20 minutes, and 8.21 was under 19! We're being short-changed.

Very funny episode. Laughed a lot more than I did with the previous two.

That is so unfair!

Can't for the life of me see how to use the IG tags anymore. Think they've changed it.

Random question: When would Sheldon have gone to Epcot last year? On his train trip you think?

I thought this episode was funny. I liked that penny packed for Leonard and Sheldon was good in this episode.

Oh, I forgot all about that tweet! Thanks for the reminder!

I enjoyed it. Looking forward to next weeks.

What a great episode! The part of the boys was really fun, especially all the scientific principles and the part where Sheldon sang sometimes eidetic memory is a curse
I loved the "tip" of the mustard, it's something I'm going to learn sometime in my career and it also reminds me that in season 1 or 2 I used to pay attention to these "tips" and it was something good for the show because one was not only having fun but also was learning about science . For sure there are more "tips" from other seasons but I don't think there are many of them.
The status of Facebook is something that nobody thinks of changing at first, so it's understandable why they didn't do that.

I'm a bit intrigued about something, weren't they using a jack (device used to lift heavy objects, especially vehicles)? Many people have it in the boot of their car for these kind of inconvenients. It'd be hilarious if they had it and didn't use it I watched many times the scenes and I can't see it!

They've mentioned Facebook a couple of other times, so I think it's almost like a running joke - they throw it in whenever they can.

I didn't notice a jack either. But the problem they were dealing with wasn't getting the van off the ground - it was getting the tire off the van. They had the lug nut wrench, which is what you usually use for that, but apparently they didn't have enough arm strength, even with the wrench, which provides a good bit of torque, to remove the nuts. So that's when they resorted to other means.

One of the promo pictures showed Sheldon standing on the wrench, so I kept waiting for that to happen, and then by the time the van caught on fire I finally figured it had been cut, haha.

Too bad, cause I remember that being one of my favorite pictures from the episode.

Love, love, loved this episode! Non stop laughing!

Best line: Penny's run-on AmyBrokeUpWithSheldonShePiercedHerEarsAndSheMadeUsEatPenisCookies! Then very sweet "She wants to talk to you."

Bernadette's "this party's weird"

Poor Amy. It seems her first and worst bully was her own mom. It was funny, but sad too.

Leonard's adorable face when he answered Raj's question with "India?" And "If there was a hidden compartment, don't you think you'd be stuffed in it by now?"

Um, Sheldon....I'm curious why your first thought about that van was as a mobile sex dungeon?? And "Leonard, don't be fooled! Meh-hee-co is Spanish for Mexico!"

Howard hanging from the stop sign! "Six foot weiner in a Flash T-shirt"


One sad note: I noticed in the opening credits, Kaley has already dropped her married name.

Whimsical Elf

Was that the one where Sheldon was hanging onto the top of the van? I didn't notice what was going on in that pic, or that it was missing from the episode. Ah, well.

I didn't notice Kaley's name. I thought I looked but that must have been the last episode. Sad.
And I hadn't looked at it that way, but you're right, Amy's mom was bullying her. Something for her and Leonard to talk over some time in a mutual therapy session, maybe.
