Continuity mistake: When Sheldon and Penny are talking at the end on the stairs, Penny's hands keep changing from clenched to hanging down.
Continuity mistake: When Leslie and Leonard are talking about starting a relationship again, the can of Diet Cola keeps rotating. In some shots from Leslie's point of view you can't see the logo and in others you can. (00:06:30)
Continuity mistake: When Leonard says he is happy Penny is moving on he has nothing in his hand. Camera cuts and now he is holding a bit of bread. (00:03:00)
Suggested correction: Not being able to afford doesn't necessarily mean he doesn't have the money, especially a man like Sheldon. He works with a budget and he sticks to it. In his budget he has a certain amount set aside for rent, anything more than that and he can't afford it alone.
Nonsense. If he was sticking to a "rigid budget" he wouldn't have even thought of lending a hopeless credit risk like Penny a single cent. Instead he throws a huge bankroll at her without even discussing a repayment plan.
Rubbish, I stick to a strict budget but still have the money to lend to close friends. Like Penny is to him.
He might have different budgets for different things. People could get a higher margin because they could be of more use to the scientific mind of Sheldon.
