There seem to be STANDBY tickets available for 3/19/19 right at this very moment that I’m typing this!!!

Is it my imagination or did the other cast members fail to acknowledge Mayim's birthday this year (except for Kevin)? Seems odd, but may explain her Instagram Pic on her birthday (coupled with her Thanksgiving). Is there cast drama I don't know about. Wait! Maybe I don't want to know.

Some of you asked about Shamy in this episode. Not much to report there. They didn't even have a scene together. All the other characters just provided comic relief to both of the serious plotlines -- Howard and Bernadette for Raj, Sheldon for Leonard, and Amy and Bernadette for Penny.

No. They just left it at Penny telling him he can do whatever he wants. The episode ends before he gives Zach and Marissa an answer. Come to think of it, I’m not sure that WE even get a definitive answer as to whether or not he’ll actually do it.

The writers have been known to leave story lines unaddressed for an episode or two, so who knows what will be next. But I don’t think that plotline is necessarily finished.

Spoiler alert: Don't read on if you don't want to know what episode 12 is all about. What a fun night! (Even though the episode wasn't necessarily one of the funniest.) Leonard and Penny’s storyline was a little more on the serious side. Zach and his new wife Marissa (Zach, by the way, is apparently super rich now after selling off his company), ask Leonard to be their sperm donor to help them have a baby. Penny gets upset that Leonard is considering it but in the end decides that since he had no say in her not wanting to have kids, she gets no say in him doing this. Anu is still upset with Raj for what he did in episode 11 (if that hasn’t been spoiled already, I’m happy to do so). The wedding’s off, but Raj, in true Raj style, tries to win her back in “Love, Actually” style. By the end of the episode, in a sweet moment, they decide that they’re going to start dating - start their relationship from the beginning instead of the middle. This show will air on January 10 in the US I was hoping the cast and crew would acknowledge Mayim’s birthday, but no such luck tonight. I still had a blast and am still very sad that this is their last season. And likely the last time I’ll get to see one of their tapings. I’ll always cherish this memory!

I'll put it in the Season 12 discussion thread.

Spoilers are OK? It was such a fun experience. All 7 of them were in the episode. A handful of pretaped scenes. The episode had two story lines - Raj and Anu and Leonard and Penny. If you give me the OK to spoil away, I'll spill the beans. Got to see the episode that will air on January 6 too.

So what do people actually say in this thread, cuz I was there tonight. 🙂 And yes, it was about Raj and also about Lenny.

It’s been a few years since I attended a taping of TBBT and when I heard that this was their last season, I was bound and determined to attend one more time. I kept trying every possible Monday like clockwork, and today I finally got a General Admission ticket! WooHoo! A note to those of you who are trying.... don’t give up! And here’s the weird thing that happened to me. I had several browsers open — Internet Explorer on a PC, Google Chrome on a PC, Safari on my iPad, and Safari on my iPhone. Refreshing 4 browsers at a time is a little challenging. A few times, I got timeout errors. Internet Explorer seemed to refresh the fastest, but at one point, it showed TBBT in the drop down list and when I went to get a ticket, it told me it was sold out. Google Chrome did the same thing. Safari on my iPad never seemed to show me TBBT. Neither did my iPhone. I had pretty much given up. But then at 9:20 AM Pacific Time, I felt compelled to look one more time using Safari on my iPad. And lo and behold... a ticket was available!! I couldn’t believe it, especially since Internet Explorer and Google Chrome both told me that tickets were already sold out! I looked over the final ticket with a fine-toothed comb and don’t see the word Standby on it anywhere, so I’m just as shocked as you probably are right now. So don’t give up! 🙂

Jim had his arm around Mayim's waist the whole time Johnny was giving the acceptance speech. Love it! I'm sad Jim didn't win, but he looked happy in the end anyway. Love that smile!

Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed that video. And then found myself chuckling a little bit in the end as I realized he was narrating a video for a college that Sheldon Cooper makes fun of Howard for going to. Ironic.

Looks like privacy is turned off now. He's quickly gaining followers. Up to 2061 as I type this.

Yes!!

I did everything I could to avoid spoiling tonight's episode for myself because the minute I first heard the ILY was said, I stopped reading all the spoiler threads. And now.... I'm so happy and excited, I'm crying. It was so beautiful! I'm gonna have to buy that episode so I can watch it over and over again because I can't wait for the season to come out on Blu-ray. I can't stop smiling!
