I work retail. I've seen things in public restrooms too horrific to describe, and I haven't seen half of what there is to see. Sheldon has a point.

Those pigtails are very Catholic schoolgirl-y. God, I'm going to hell.

This lead up to Episode VII is making my OOT pain almost unbearable.

"That was an exciting 45 seconds."
Surprised they didn't milk that joke. Glad, but surprised.

"Imagine how Sheldon would react if it was at your place."
No one has ever gotten laid because of a TARDIS. I'm not sure of much in life, but I'm fairly certain of that.

I've never watched Doctor Who. I'm a bad nerd. Or GOT.

Amusing episode, but basically filler. The cast is getting so big it's getting hard to find something for everyone to do. I was hoping they'd pay off Sheldon going to Amy's, by now I've made peace with the fact that they're never going to hook them up, but I can hope. The character dynamics were kind of fun this time, it was a perfectly enjoyable episode, it just felt like it was coasting.

I thought the ping pong stuff was good.

Ping pong over the Tardis and scheming for where it should go was great. The Skywalker ranch stuff was pretty weak.

With the exception of Amy's killer ping pong serve, I thought it was a pretty blah episode. Not many laughs at all for me. Bernadette looked pretty darn good in that tight shirt though.

Liked the ping pong stuff too, but yeah the Skywalker Ranch stuff wasn't that great. Although Sheldon at the end commenting about how it was good to see him get tasered was funny.

Did Sheldon (Parsons?) develop a lisp all of a sudden? It was really noticeable on this one, especially during the car ride.

And hell yeah about Bernie in her house pants / shirt

I actually liked the stuff at Skywalker Ranch even though it was predictable and there's no way that security would have just opened the gate because the intercom wasn't working properly. I thought this was one of the more enjoyable episodes of the season though to be honest.

I think he's always had it... I remember he had it in the movie "Garden State" - unless he likes to re-use it for different characters he plays.

Thought it was an ok episode.

I did laugh when Sheldon showed his mirror on a stick so he can "make sure the person in the stall next to him isn't some kind of weirdo".

I thought for sure there'd be a George Lucas cameo.

I was expecting a Lucas cameo as well, since I thought for sure I read he had filmed one a while ago. Guess I was wrong.

So, the other guy at Skywalker Ranch wasn't someone famous? Geek famous?
I was kinda expecting that. And a Lucas cameo of course.

It feels like Lucas is suffering from sour grapes these days since selling his "empire" to Disney. I wasn't expecting to see him.

Sour grapes? What, was he forced to sell Star Wars or something?

Yeah I'm sure with the billions in his bank account he's crying himself to sleep every night.
