*** That might work if Penny independantly set up a way for her to "see it first". But she didnt, she looked through the telescope, set up by Raj, at Raj's invitation, didnt change anything, and only took the photo on Raj's instruction, she didnt even take the photo on her own initiative. She didnt do anything. Your examples dont work because a) someone else independantly set up the machines that someone else built and used them under their own power to find something and b) Penny's entire contribution to "seeing it" was to be told "look through this aperature" and then "take the picture". She had no independant contribution to it. If someone had dropped a sandwich on to the take photo button they would have got the same outcome, as Raj had already set it all up to do that.

[[/folder: Georgie initial refusal to come to Sheldon's wedding]]
Certainly the fact that Sheldon and Georgie made up was heartwarming. However, I do have one minor question. Why didn't Mary contact MeeMaw to settle the dispute? As seen, MeeMaw is still a formidable women even in her nineties. Presumably she still has persuasive powers over Georgie.

** And don't forgrt "Publish or Perish"!

** Sheldon has no room in his apartment for any kind of serious layout with O guage he insists on. Later he discvers that smaller gauges are even more fun an sets up an HO layout in his room. He invites his former mortal enemy Wil Wheaton in to watch him play and even lets him blow the gtrsain whistle

*** It should be noted that nothing was "ruined". A line from Leonard early in the episode says they kept all the original, accurate data and Sheldon could publish that.

** because a table would also let everyone put their food down and eat while also coming with extra chairs for everyone to sit on.

*** Penny was really forced to jump over the roof or anything though. When she came up to them in the stairs they weee already near the top of that set of stairs, so if she waits another minute or two then they'll be on that landing and she can slip by and not be appreciably any later than she already was. Futher it's very unfair of her to yell at them for blocking the stairs. The lift doesnt work and they have just as much right to take something up the stairs to their appartment as any other tenant does. Would Penny have been happy with someone yelling at her for causing the stairs to be blocked when her tv cabinet thing early in season one is being taken up the stairs? Of course not.

** It tanked because, while she is very sexy, she's a terrible actress and the one field that might have not been a hinderenabce too (porn), she turned down the audition for.

** [[TheSimpsons Thaht is da johke.]] Sheldon would rather get the question wrong than admit that anyone, especially a janitor, knew something he didn't. The only reason he teamed up with the janitor at all is that he wanted to answer all the questions himself... it was basically the whole point of the episode.

** [[TheSimpsons Thaht is da johke.]] Howard thinks he's a fashion plate and is wrong because he looks ridiculous. There's also probably something to the first reply since other people have pointed out that a lot of Howard's behaviors are out of lame "how to get girls" technique books (negging, faking subculture, magic tricks, etc.).

In the Comet Polarization, why should we agree with Penny that she discovered the comet? Raj setup the telescope, invited Penny to look and told her how and when to take a picture. She looked through it, said she saw something, he said take a picture and she did.

She didnt move or refocus the telescope, she didnt even look through it or take the photo off her own initiative. She just pressed a button based on Raj's instructions with how Raj had set it up. Nothing about that is Penny discovering anything.

[[folder: Amy's behaviour towards Sheldon]]
* If there was one thing that bugged me about the show, it's the fact that Amy kept trying to get more intimate with Sheldon and he wasn't interested - and we were supposed to laugh at it or sympathize with her. At one point, she even ''stores nightclothes IN HIS APARTMENT'' just in case Sheldon invited her to spend the night. How did this ''not'' raise any red flags that Amy is a ''stalker''?! Imagine if it were the other way around or Amy wasn't played by Mayim Bialik.
