The Countdown Reflection - S5-E24

Other mistake: Raj doesn't get over his selective mutism until the end of season 6. However, he very prominently speaks during Howard and Bernadette's wedding without alcohol or meds. In the season 6 episode where he finally does speak without any assistance, Penny makes a big deal about it so it's shocking when he does it here with no big shocks.

The Friendship Contraction - S5-E15

Character mistake: Sheldon told Leonard at lunch that they were no longer friends, only roommates but later that day, he told start moved up to ninth place on his friends list because he dropped someone (can't remember who) off his friends list). In actuality, it would've bumped him up to eighth place because he kicked Leonard off the list.

Suggested correction: He's awoken by a door closing, not necessarily the front door. He could have heard Sheldon closing his door.

While that is possible, it is unlikely as it's clear Sheldon has already made a dent in the cleaning of Penny's apartment. Plus Sheldon would have simply replied to Leonard when he called out.

The Extract Obliteration - S6-E6

Stephen Hawking: Do you like brain teasers?
Sheldon Cooper: Oh, I love brain teasers.
Stephen Hawking: What do Sheldon Cooper and a black hole have in common? They both suck. Neener, neener.

The Holographic Excitation - S6-E5

Trivia: In this episode, Sheldon and Amy are trying to decide on couples' themed Halloween costumes. Sheldon is standing in front of the dry erase board. There are 2 columns written on the board. One named "Couples I Like" and the other "Couples You Like." Under the "Couples You Like" column, one of the couples is Blossom and Joey. Blossom is the name of the television character played by Mayim Bialik in the 90s and Joey was one of her brothers.

Show generally

Question: How come Raj has no problem speaking to his mother, but, when around other women, such as Penny, he immediately stops talking? Also, why does he have to whisper in someone's ear if he wants to ask Penny something?

Answer: Because Raj's selective mutism seems to be caused by women that Raj sees (on some sort of conscious or subconscious level) as a potential sexual partner. An attribute that wouldn't apply to either his sister or mother.
