Okay, then, here it goes. Sorry If I don't remember everything exactly. I am going to go storywise rather than scene wise. Starts with everyone and Lenny's apartment and Howard is shoveling food down his mouth. Bernie asks him to slow down but he says that he can't have food 12 hours before his vasectomy procedure and is making the most of it. Raj is also doing the same and says he is stress eating. Sheldon then sees on his phone that they are reviving Professor Proton and are recasting the role since Arthur died. Sheldon says that the show is very important to to him and he would like th

LEONARD AND WOLOWITZ GO TO BARRY KRIPKE FOR HELP AFTER SHELDON BETRAYS THEM, ON “THE BIG BANG THEORY,” THURSDAY, NOV. 16 Dean Norris Returns as Colonel Williams “The Tesla Recoil” – Leonard and Wolowitz are furious after they learn Sheldon went to work with the military behind their backs. Also, while Bernadette is on bed rest, she asks Raj to do some digging when she suspects Ruchi is trying to steal her job, on THE BIG BANG THEORY, Thursday, Nov. 16 (8:00-8:31 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.

Does anyone else think the Penny part of the episode is another glaringly obvious hint as to what's coming for Lenny?

I came home from work one day to find my wife in the floor with our first child going "say dada, come on sweetie say dada" i was touched i thought it was so sweet of her. A few nights later when our daughter woke up at at 3am and started yelling dada,dada, dada my wife rolled over and said "she's not calling me" and then went back to sleep

Something like that happened to my mum, too. She tried to teach me to say "mummy" for a lot of time, but nothing. Then she left me alone one afternoon with my dad and, as a result, when she returned home, I had learnt perfectly to say "daddy"! She felt so betrayed, she has hold that against me and my dad for years, LOL! BTW, I said "mummy" many months after that...Oedipus complex does exist, I guess, LOL!

Thank you so much @Babar! I read the Lenny parts and skimmed over the Sheldon plot. Sounds really good! And I'm happy about Penny's plot, not only because it could be another one leading to Lenny having a baby. I think it is a win for her and that was long overdue. Just like Howardette's and Amy's lines and actions show, in the eyes of her friends and also some of the viewers all she does is drinking and just hanging around... I'm so happy they show she is more than that. Penny is the most maternal character on the show so IMO this shouldn't come as a surprise. So far I'm liking the

I really like the plot, both for the baby prospects and Penny getting a win. Go Penny!

Yeah I am more looking forward to Penny's story, than the PP stuff. No offence, but Arthur died seasons ago, and I'm annoyed they kept focusing on him so much even if Bob is so good. Not even Sheldon's own father has appeared in the show yet, and I would love if the actor on Young Sheldon appeared to him in a dream for a change. I would rather see more of Sheldon's family than visits from dead Arthur any day. So glad Penny was great. She is such a nurturing person, I'm not surprised.

From The Bat Jar Conjecture, S. 1 Episode 13 Leslie: Wait, you’re going up against Sheldon Cooper? Howard: Yes. Leslie: That arrogant, misogynistic East-Texas doorknob that told me I should abandon my work with high energy particles for laundry and child bearing? That, not mentioning all the things he has always said about Penny and her love life, since S. 1, but probably that was just him being jealous...

Thanks Babar. Nice to hear that they didn't make Penny bad at looking after the baby.

From a sneak peek for episode 11.06. The gang talking about Professor Proton. I can't help it. I like Leonard and Penny's banter this season.

Not sure what is so surprising about these awful jokes. They didn’t suddenly appear after a long hiatus from the early seasons due to new showrunners. Just last season Howard and Raj mentioned Penny’s past number of partners when discussing her job with Zack. Sheldon slut shamed her in 10.04 before moving to 4B. In Prom Equivalency Amy and Bernadette slut shamed her and called her easy and slutty. Same with Penny’s drinking jokes and Sheldon’s inappropriate kids jokes. Its lazy writing when the writers don’t want to think of something more original. The episode that started it all- Creep

Yes! That was hilarious! (I would also like to point out that Professor Proton meant as much to Leonard as he did to Sheldon.)

Totally agree that is a funny and nice exchange! That's my Lenny!

That's the next stage I know it won't happen because it would be too sweet for this show but how cute would it be if during the conversation about starting to try Penny confesses to Leonard, embarrased that the day she met him she had a fleeting thought about what it would be like to have his genius children?

Like waiting for Leonard when he comes home only wearing a nightie.

BTW, maybe Penny would be the one to intiate taking the next step. IMO, that would be a nice change.

Thank you so much for this @Babar - as always I very much appreciate the time & effort taken to type all this out and share the info with us ! It was extremely kind of - you're a star ! The episode sounds great !

Just fixed a few mistakes I made like typing Leonard instead of Sheldon twice. Sorry about that.

Here's an excerpt from the report @Babar wrote after seeing episode 10.06 in advance: @Tensor wrote in the discussion thread, "the Penny part of the episode is another glaringly obvious hint as to what's coming for Lenny." And I think the same. Since the beginning of season 11 we had quite a few of these hints. And now, with episode 10.06 it is also shown that Penny is good at taking care of a baby. I'm really curious where this leads to.

She has been baby sitting 4 kids for the last 10+ years.

Indeed! I have missed our couple more in this kind of interaction. Hopefully it would be funny and cute Shamy goodness a board in this one!

Interesting that Hailey calls Penny Mama before Bernie lol.

as a rule, fanboys have to instantly hate any remake that comes out, before it comes out. It's stupid, but them's the rules of fanatics.

What I like this season except for the "you know I married you to hurt her, right?" is that the banter between Leonard and Penny seems mostly mischievous and not mean spirited, which is such a welcome changed from the meanness of S9. Molaro's exit has been most welcome , I have to say.

Yeah add me to the club looking forward to talking about something that meets the criteria of this thread or its very purpose next week. I've really missed it

It's easier for kids to say dada, than mama. Saying dada only required the tongue be flat against the roof of the mouth, which can be done accidentally (try it, put your tongue against the roof of your mouth, then exhale as you open your mouth). Mama requires the fine motor control of the small muscles of the lips, which generally occurs latter.

So very true!

We might end up with 4 consecutive seasons involving baby/prospective parents stuff, Season 9-10-11 Howardette and 11-12 maybe Leonard and Penny. On the one hand it makes sense considering the end of the show isn't far away and the age of the characters, but they need to be careful of viewer fatigue with these type of storylines and themes. I personally could have done with a season break from it to give it some time to become fresh again, obviously circumstances and writing decisions changed that (I am so happy for Melissa though).

Yeah, it's weird how we got the "freshest" writing team in ages and yet here we are with a ton of jokes that feel like they took them straight from the early seasons. Whatever happened to Lorre's advice of "try something new!" when Holland took over? Does he use this as an opportunity to make all the jokes he couldn't do in the past because he wasn't showrunner then? LOL Though just to be clear, I'm happy with some of the story lines as well - especially since Lenny and Raj seem to be getting some love now/soon respectively. So it's not about that.

There is new blood in the writing room, Jim Reynolds is developing his own show for CBS, so I guess it's no longer that active for TBBT, and at least two new writers were hired this season, Andy Gordon and Alex Yonks.

Thanks for spoilers @Babar as always greatly appreciated!

First thing I've thought when I read the "mama" scene...

Thanks @Babar, it sounds a very fun episode!

Well he already tried this:

Dr who is special changing Drs is built into the format. But go to any trek site and click a discovery thread. Just put on a flak jacket first

Thanks for stating that, I was about to and than saw your posts This is a bit off topic but as a young woman I feel it should be noted that women don't generally dress in shorter clothes to flaunt for men. Some sometimes maybe but not always, not most of the time. I actually didn't notice the price thing, maybe the difference is smaller here. There are reasons for this wear other than price - social images/stereotypes/conventions. It is kind of common for young women to wear shorter clothes so to a certain extent it represents youth, like a buttoned shirt may represent seriousness/profess

I know! I know! The answer is ... Sheldon!

Checking my maths. I think this could work, assuming Bernie used a pregnancy test that gives a result in the first 24 hours of the conception process, but if she used a conventional one perhaps it won't. Remember last year she must have used a test that showed up positive a good month before even fertilisation happened during one of Sheldon's lectures. <-sarcasm-> Who knows what they make at her pharmaceutical firm. In Sneak Peek 2 for episode 11.06, Bernie's going for her 16-week check-up. In episode 11.02 she said she was 12 or 13 weeks ( actual quote 'about three months' ).

My thoughts exactly. It still pissed me off!

Agree guys this one sounds team Shamy ! I'm delighted !

Yeah true. I hope Penny being pregnant is reserved for the final episode. I just don't want so many seasons in a row with a pregnancy story. If S12 is the final season, I don't want a pregnant Penny taking up the entire final season's story. Best to save one last story progression with Penny's pregnancy for the final episode. But if S12 isn't the end, then I guess we are stuck with it happening before the final episode. But I really don't want the series to have gone through three births, and two couples having children already.

Yep, the moment Penny said she can take care of Halley, I knew it was coming.

11.6 seems very interesting for Shamy. I like that Amy is helping Sheldon with his audition tape for the PP's show and that she likes what he has prepared, even if obviously it is completely inappropriate for the audience of that show. Those two think so alike, LOL! Also in the sneak peek that was shown, she is supportive towards him and his feelings for Arthur. Overall the episode seems fun, can't wait for it!

I'm not completely convinced yet, but it looks more promising all the time.

How’s he managing with Dr Who then. ? .

just a guess...

Sorry it came off as attacking, not my intention. IMO Penny wasn't into flaunting for the men. She never had to anyway. Her fashion choices have evolved, but I'll offer another reason for that. I used to wear a lot of tank tops in my early twenties/college years because they tended to be the cheapest things to buy. I can afford nicer clothes now so that's what I prefer to wear. The same would go for Penny. She makes more money now and her clothes reflect that. She used to wear cheaper clothes (and yes, you can tell by looking lol) and now she wears more expensive clothes. Again, sor

Just finished watching 11.06. Bob Newhart was hilarious as always. Any one wants any spoilers? I see we didn't get a taping report for this one.
