• Last night's episode introduced the game of Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard, Spock, which is supposed to result in fewer ties because of greater number of combinations, but which ends in a tie every time, because no one ever picks anything but Spock.
• This line from the same episode: "I am not going to watch the Clone Wars TV series until I've seen the Clone Wars movie. I prefer to let George Lucas disappoint me in the order he intended." (For the record, I watched the movie and all the episodes of the show to date last weekend, and I like it. I am however, known to be a George Lucas apologist, so there you go.)
  
• The extended argument over which Star Trek movie is the worst. (For once, I disagree with Sheldon, although I am willing to rewatch Star Trek: the Motion Picture to consider his theory. I will not, however, ever watch Star Trek V again.
  
• The vanity card at the end of the episode which reads:
  Dear George Lucas,
  May I call you Mr. Lucas? On behalf of the writers of The Big Bang Theory, I would like to thank you for your astounding body of work, which has awakened the child within us and unleashed our dreams. That being said, we hope you don't take offense at our good-natured jest regarding your most recent animated efforts. Yes they were cheap shots, but we can't help but hold you to a higher standard -- a standard of your own making. In closing, we are all looking forward to Indiana Jones 5 - The Curse of the Golden Catheter. Oops, sorry again.
  
  Very truly yours,
  
  The Writers
  
  P.S. To William Shatner, director of Star Trek 5. Go ahead, sue us.
