Cool picture.

Tonight's should be interesting. Given the plot, I'm surprised it's not the finale.

Looking around for time-travelers.

I think the white screen "Censored!" must of crashed chucklorre.com, the page won't load. Can anyone get it to come up and give the details of what CBS cut?

I think it's fairly easy to write "prognostication" jokes in a flashback episode, but the Firefly and iPod comments made me laugh.

Damn DirecTV DVR missed the last section. Anything big happen in the last little bit before the card?

I loved the time travel bit as they both looked around for their future selves.

BBT had 1.5m more viewers than 2.5 Men last night.

Spoiler:

Leonard and Sheldon had another argument about watching Babylon 5. Penny justs tries to ignore it.


Oddly, when Bones did their flashback episode, they fudged with the continuity. I didn't notice any continuity errors here and the evolution of the apartment was pretty well done with just a few tweaks to how it looks now.

I also loved how Sheldon was a Microsoft fanboy yet he owned a Gamecube.

Since they currently have both a Wii and 360, I'm sure he had an (unseen) original Xbox too.

Liked seeing how the elevator got broken. Other than that, meh.

Nice plug for Ubuntu on the show. Always good to see the little guys get a push.

It's up now, and it was well worth it if you ask me.

Re: The Big Bang Theory -- "The Staircase Implementation" -- 05/17/10

Loved this episode. And yeah, flash back episodes like this are pretty typical, but they did a fantastic job. Big Bang Theory has done a pretty great job in 3 seasons relating back to past events for small jokes without relying too much on them.

Seeing the roomate agreement, the elevator, and even who lived across the hall before Penny was pretty awesome.

I still don't see anything on ChuckLorre.com. What was censored?

The card they have up now (#287) is what was censored, not anything related to BBT.

We finally know what happened to the elevator! I think the Lost writers can learn a thing or two from the BBT writers about how to reveal the answers to a mystery.

Great episode. I wonder how this show is popular seeing sometime the obscure jokes like about Ubuntu/Firefly.
