Correction: When bringing her to lunch with the other guys, Sheldon specifically says "You may remember Dr. Nowitski" and they reply. They obviously do remember meeting her.

LorgSkyegon

Correction: As the other correction states he introduces her by saying you may remember. Sheldon is also very literal and skeptical of Penny's memory, having had to explain most things for a decade.

Ssiscool ★

Correction: That's Raj wearing a blue jacket getting condiments.

The Holiday Summation - S10-E12

Corrected entry: Penny finds a place where they can cut a tree themselves. She states that Leonard let the axe slip from his hands but when the tree slips in the roof, we can see that the tree was cut with a chainsaw by the linear cut on the wood.

Correction: It was a farm that lets people cut down their own tree with an axe, but after you cut it down, there is normally a place at the front where you pay that will give a clean cut with a chainsaw so that the tree goes cleanly into a stand. They also will typically clean up the lower branches for the same reason.

Correction: He never specified his level of proficiency. By saying he never learned it, he may simply be saying he's not fluent in it. He knows some basic words/phrases and that's it and saying he "never learned it" is simply that he never completed education in the language beyond the basic level.

Correction: Given how things ended with Priya and Leonard, it probably would have been very awkward for both of them. In addition, she knows far more about Indian law than American law.

Greg Dwyer

It is noted (by Leonard) in a previous episode that Priya is qualified to practice law "in three countries, and your face!" Presumably, as she is there for some time, works for a law firm, etc, one of those three countries is the US.

Mistakes

The Excelsior Acquisition - S3-E16

Plot hole: In Series 1, Episode 7, "The Dumpling Paradox, " Sheldon makes an oblique reference to his financial status: "Frankly, if I could afford the rent, I'd ask you [Leonard] to leave, " meaning he cannot pay the rent on his two bedroom apartment by himself - not that he doesn't want to, he can't. However, in "The Execlsior Acquisition, " we find that he does not even cash his pay cheques. He doesn't even deposit them into a bank account - he leaves them in a drawer in his desk. In Series 2 Episode 14 "The Financial Permeability", he lends Penny a large amount of money from a huge bankroll he just happens to have lying about - again, without cashing his pay cheques! He is obviously independently wealthy. Either he doesn't have enough money to afford the rent or he has enough to work without being paid while practically giving large amounts of cash away. Can't be both.

Suggested correction: He doesn't say he can't financially afford the rent; he may have meant emotionally or functionally. He may feel that he needs the social support from living with other people. He couldn't afford not to have them with him.

What nonsense. He says, "Frankly, if I could afford the rent, I'd ask you to leave." If I could afford the rent – he is talking about money, not some vague, waffly jibber-jabber about emotional support.

He definitely meant emotionally. I just watched a random clip on YouTube from when Penny and Leonard were wanting to move in together and Sheldon lost it (and they mention it's not the first time). Saying he couldn't afford it is his excuse because he wouldn't admit (at that time) that he would be devastated.

"IF I COULD AFFORD THE RENT" - nothing in that statement implies Sheldon relies on Leonard (or anyone else) for emotional support, whatever that means. He is referring to his financial situation and nothing else. The posting is absolutely correct.

It's quite possible he was lying, though, to hide the emotional reason behind not wanting Leonard to leave. Later on in the show, it is made quite clear how reliant Sheldon is on Leonard to drive him and solve his problems (like when he is sick). He knows that but would never admit it.

Questions

Chosen answer: The song is called "Dark as a Dungeon" and was written and first performed by singer-songwriter Merle Travis in 1946. It has been performed by a wide array of artists, including Tennessee Ernie Ford, Harry Belafonte, Dolly Parton, Queens of the Stone Age, Kathy Mattea and Amy Grant. But it was made most famous when it was performed and recorded by Johnny Cash during his concert at Folsom Prison in 1968. According to Wikipedia: "It is a lament about the danger and drudgery of being a coal miner in an Appalachian shaft mine. It has become a rallying song among miners seeking improved working conditions."
