The Big Bang Theory Forums

Ya know, I have been thinking about a couple of things I just don't understand....If Leonard and Sheldon are physics scientists, out of uni, with advanced degrees working at Cal-Tech why are they not making more money than a waitress??? It seems as though Penny, who works originally at the Cheesecake Factory, can afford her own apartment, but Leonard and Sheldon apparently can't???
How come everyone in the show "Got Busy" at one time or another, but Sheldon, who is the cutest/best looking gets left out? ( Well, okay, he IS a complete geek and hard to get along with but why leave him out? Doesn't seem fair.

another one is at the end of episode 7 is when raj talks in the prezent of 4 hot girls but the other epsisode he cant talk in pennys apartment he has to wisper this is not clever

In The Fuzzy Boots Corollary, when the guys are discussing if Sheldon is a robot, Sheldon says that he has never "harmed a human being or, through inaction, caused a human being to come to harm." However, in the pilot, as Sheldon and Leonard are walking up the stairs, Sheldon says that he once did a series of experiments that resulted in his father breaking his clavicle. Seems like that would count as "harm."

Whatever increase in pay the writers may have negotiated with the strike, it is not enough. New media, DVD, etc. has made the writers' job that much more difficult. Now that we fans can pick through episodes and find the smallest inconsistency, we seem to demand a much higher level of continuity than viewers did in the past, when minute detail would be forgotten week to week and season to season. Now, if Leonard ever eats a dairy product, after mention was made in the pilot if him being lactose intolerant, someone is going to notice, care, and probably post it to a fan site.

pengyfelix lol good call

Yes but Sheldon only slept with his head towards the door because he inadvertently fell asleep. If he had been making a temporary bed like Penny he would have had his head away from the door.

ah but subconsciously no one falls asleep in away there brain says is unsafe if he was falling asleep he would of fell alseep the correct way and if he just fell asleep why was the tv off why was there a pillow under his head and why did he have a blanket on? papsmear081 ur theory is floored

When you're falling asleep you can't dictate what happens to you, you just doze off regardless of where you are or what you are doing. Why would he make a temporary bed on the sofa? If he was tired he would have just gone to his bedroom.

Maybe he hadn't been watching the TV.

It wasn't a pillow, it was just a cushion on the sofa. His head was also partially resting on Leslie Winkle's violin case which further reinforces the fact that he accidentally fell asleep. You wouldn't purposefully go to sleep on a violin case - it would be extremely uncomfortable.

He probably just got cold while he was sat on the couch wondering what to do.

Surely you mean my theory is flawed? Which it isn't.

Hmm i think papsmear081 right,

Sheldon slept "incorrectly" in the episode to indicate that he had fallen asleep accidentally, rather than having deliberately chosen to sleep on the couch.

We'll miss some from time to time, but we didn't miss this one.
