I keep forgetting to mention, but I just wanted to say that I love how the elevator in their building is always out of order, but nobody ever says anything about it. Well, once there was a passing comment, but on the whole it's just a sort of matter of a fact thing.

". . . not that we don't all enjoy a good lion-semen story, but what's your point?" "You wanna breed a new friend?" "That's one option, but who has the time?" "For the record, it could kill us to meet new people." "I'm not insane; my mother had me tested." I am so sad for all the people who don't watch this show. ;D OMG, the "my mother had me tested thing"? I thought I was gonna die from laughing! And his smile just kept changing to new and equally creepy versions. ;D I can't believe I didn't watch this from the very beginning. I mean, I'm all caught up now, but dude! I do feel sorry for all the others who have not yet see the Big Bang light.

Well, once there was a passing comment, but on the whole it's just a sort of matter of a fact thing. Oh, yes, I like this too! And everyone just keeps tromping up and down the stairs so habitually. I wonder if they'll ever fix it. Will they even notice right away? Will it freak them out? ;D

Heh! I love Raj all abandoned in the living room, not knowing what to do. ;D I have some sympathy for Sheldon and his not driving, being a non-driver myself. On the other hand, I haven't been banned from the bus and my feet and biking skillz are just fine. ;D It's all about self-sufficiency, dude! "I never wanted to kick Albert Einstein in the nuts."

"Take a look at that sign. Does it say I give a damn? Because I don't!" "You don't need airbags!" "What if a simulated van hits me?" "I'll hit you in the face with a pillow." [later? whap] Hee! And then when he's driving on the second floor?! Heeeeee! And I love the look on his face when Leonard suggests he evolve wings. You can tell he's thinking seriously about doing it. Oh, excellent final moment!! The organ music? The hood and cape-like swoop?! "You saw nothing!"

I sympathize with the non-drivingness too, but Sheldon owes all his friends huge favors after annoying them so much. Acting like that is an open invitation for your friends to kick your ass.

"Application? I'm a theorist!" LOL!! And Sheldon arguing with the DMV! Who hasn't wanted to do that? My parents got me a driving simulator too. But they only let me use it for all of 3 seconds before they decided that it wasn't helping. Which kind of sucked because it really was helping.

True, he's a physicist, not a biologist, but he has a wealth of understanding about various fields outside his specialty, and evolution is a basic, well understood concept. And this is a show that actually gets the science right. That didn't ring true to me at all.

I fanwanked it by imagining that he is one of those physicist types who just dismiss/hand-wave/are dismissive of any science not directly math-adjacent. The ones who'd snark that biology was a "soft" science. And therefore, because he doesn't think much of it, he'd be more likely to either not care enough to be strictly accurate or he'd say innacuracies as a snarky comment on the science. Over think it much? Me? Noooooo!

Over think it much? Me? Noooooo! Yeah, the guys do seem pretty dismissive of biology as a "soft science," but Sheldon's referenced bio research several times, so he's definitely studied up on it. If there's anything that some one with a passing interest in biology should know, it's the concept of evolution. And he's such a know it all, he should be ashamed of getting such a basic concept wrong. It gets to me probably more than it should because these guys are me (me not being a physicist aside) and the show really cares about portraying science and scientists realistically. Grumble grumble.

Heh! I'm enjoying the running joke about Labradoodles. Also I am intrigued by the idea of a woman truly interested in Sheldon and his brain.

"Looks sort of like a preying mantis?" "He is cute, isn't he?" ;D And actually, he is very cute. I mean he'd make you absolutely insane, but he's cute. Them all wanting to watch was hysterical. Sockpuppets. Heh!!! Split into two Sheldons. Larval stage. Emerge from his cocoon with moth wings and an exoskeleton. "OK, thanks for the nightmares."

"The only way I could explain it would be in a therapist's office with dolls." I want that embroidered on a pillow!!!! (Actually, of course, they aren't doing anything really all that creepy. Except for how it's Sheldon. And she's a stalker. But still! Absolutely hysterical line!) "I seem to be in some kind of relationship. And you seem to be an expert in ending them." Oh, snap! Sheldon can just push Penny's buttons without even knowing he's doing it. The look on Penny's face when she said "sisters" and held up her little pinky? O.M.G., perfect WTF face!! And "holy crap on a cracker" seems to be a running joke too.

Invoking the SkyNet clause? "Come on! Don't nit pick!" "Oh? You want me to share credit?! Get out!" Reached his snapping point, right there.

I KNEW she looked familiar! Ramona was the bulimic dandelion on Pushing Daisies.
And yes, Wolowitz should have said "fission" as "mitosis" is a cell-level process. They do need a biologist science advisor on the show, too.
