Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaSheldon is frustrated with writer George R.R. Martin because Martin couldn't keep up his writing with the pace of Game of Thrones (2011), so Sheldon is no longer able to spoil the show for Leonard with his knowledge from the books. At the time of the episode, the TV series had indeed caught up with 'A Dance with Dragons', which was then the most recently released book in Martin's 'A Song of Ice and Fire' book series. Sheldon actually voices the frustration of many fans of the books who had already been waiting five years for the release of the next book, 'The Winds of Winter', as Martin kept missing his deadlines. By the time that The Big Bang Theory and Game of Thrones ended (both in 2019), the book was still not released.
- GoofsRaj, Sheldon and Leonard heckle Stuart from Sheldon and Leonard's apartment window, yet Stuart is shown near the front doors of the apartment building, which is on the opposite side of the building from Sheldon and Leonard's apartment. This scene would only make sense spatially if the three hecklers were in Penny's apartment, which is on the same side of the building as the front doors, yet even her apartment likely doesn't have a window on that side (one is never pictured).
- Quotes
[first lines]
Sheldon Cooper: I have a question about Batman. Batman is a man who dresses up like a bat. Manbat is a part man part bat hybrid. Now, if Manbat dressed up as a man to fight crime, would he be Manbatman;?
Leonard Hofstadter: No, he'd be Batmanbat.
Howard Wolowitz: But wouldn't Manbatman just be a batman that was bitten by a radioactive man?
Howard Wolowitz: But Batman is a man. You're talking about a man who would have the powers of a man. That's just Manman.
Sheldon Cooper: Well, isn't Manman just Man?
Leonard Hofstadter: Well, what if Manman dressed as a bat?
Raj Koothrappali: Well, that's just Batman.
Leonard Hofstadter: No, if a man dresses as a bat, that's Batman, but if Manman dresses as a bat that's Batmanman.
Howard Wolowitz: So, does that answer your question?
Sheldon Cooper: Oh, I haven't asked it yet.

My World of Wonder Part one
Sometimes I wonder why the editorial staff at Vanity Fair thinks I care about the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
Sometimes I wonder why scissors only work in my right hand.
Sometimes I wonder why Elton John thought "Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting" when he probably was gonna get his ass kicked.
Sometimes I wonder why I'm always putting my t-shirt on backwards when there's a fifty-fifty chance I'll get it right.
Sometimes I wonder why people vote against their self-interest.
Sometimes I wonder why I vote against my self-interest.
Sometimes I wonder why people who believe in an omnipotent, allknowing, eternal and infinite God of love can be angry.
Sometimes I wonder if my dog is purposely messing with me.
Sometimes I wonder if my mind hates me.
Sometimes I wonder if fast-forwarding through commercials makes me a traitor to my cause.
Sometimes I wonder who - who wrote the book of love.
