Cheekydevil Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 I was watching season one laast night and made an interesting discovery. In episode 7, Raj speaks in front of Penny without having had an alcoholic drink!!!! They are discussing how they are going to play their games and Lenoard says they would have to cut Raj in half. Raj replies "That's right, cut the foreigner in half." Penny is in the room and Raj and has had no alcohol. I nearly died when I worked this out!!!! Has anyone else discovered this before????????

Alien94 Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 Yay! I checked it out now! It's just after the intro song ''Yeah cut the foreigner in half,there's million more where he came from!'' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
4ofN Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 I think they are relying on the stage assumption that someone out of frame on the other side of the room can't hear you. They often have people talk "in the kitchen" without being overheard which would make no sense in the real world since the kitchen and living room are basically one room and not really all that far apart. Of course, it could also have just been a screw up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
netmouse Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 It was raised in the original episode discussion thread and two conclusions were found... The first was similar to 4ofNs comment about being out of frame. The second was that the writers hadn't fully realised the idea of Rajs mutism in the early stages of the series. Very similar to the fact that, in the early episodes, Sheldon does not do the "three times" knocking thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonsayz Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 well here is my take on this Raj probably didn't realize Penny came back to the room so quickly (and she was far enough) remember in the penny blossoms he was in the kitchen talking...far away from her and facing away from her Sheldon didn't knock 3 times in the beginning is probably because he didn't feel so close to her yet remember it took a lot of effort to make her his friend, otherwise it would've gone to waste lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very similar to the fact that, in the early episodes, Sheldon does not do the "three times" knocking thing. Yeah I noticed the whole thing with Sheldon'd knocking too. Even if it was purely because they were still trying to establish the mutism extent, it was still an interesting discovery. :D well here is my take on this Raj probably didn't realize Penny came back to the room so quickly (and she was far enough) remember in the penny blossoms he was in the kitchen talking...far away from her and facing away from her Sheldon didn't knock 3 times in the beginning is probably because he didn't feel so close to her yet remember it took a lot of effort to make her his friend, otherwise it would've gone to waste lol That's very true. There is also an episode where he speaks in front of her but is quick to put his hand over his mouth. And in the episode where they are versing Sheldon in the quiz there is a room fully of girls (inlcuding Penny) that he answers questions in front of. I take it his mutism is supposed to be a one on one type of thing.I just found it funny when I realised he had sopken in front of her. I'm just turning into a major GEEK!!!! LOL Damn proud of it too!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
netmouse Posted September 2, 2011 Posted September 2, 2011 @Cheeky: I was just about to mention your second point about Raj speaking during the physics quiz, but you've beat me to it. Some members find it annoying that Raj's mutism is not only selective, but inconsistent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

4ofN Posted September 2, 2011 Posted September 2, 2011 Hey, maybe thats why he can talk to women when he's drunk - he sees double so he thinks its a crowd. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluememaw Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 Yep. Just included that in a post I made in the dumpling paradox thread. I was watching season one laast night and made an interesting discovery. In episode 7, Raj speaks in front of Penny without having had an alcoholic drink!!!! They are discussing how they are going to play their games and Lenoard says they would have to cut Raj in half. Raj replies "That's right, cut the foreigner in half." Penny is in the room and Raj and has had no alcohol. I nearly died when I worked this out!!!! Has anyone else discovered this before????????

worldtraveler05 Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 I have watched this show (every episode) more than once and I just realized this as well and wanted to see what other people had to say about it. I honestly think it was a mistake that they didn't realize until other people pointed it out. It was pretty funny though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abigail Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 Yeah, I've noticed that before. Guess they didn't do the editing or shooting right. Haha. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

netmouse Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 @ekap2: when the whole group sings "Someone's in the kitchen"? If it's that scene, Raj whispers his lines into Howard's ear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissNobodyx Posted June 1, 2012 Posted June 1, 2012 I only just noticed this ! Woop I agree with the above im guessing they hadn't really decided at that point where rajs mutisum was going. I notice alot of things changed after season one for example in the pilot episode sheldon and lenoard went to a clinic to give donate so obviously sheldon had done this before, but now touching himself down there is smething he obviously does not do. Theres loads of examples;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hocus_Pocus_Pocahontas Posted September 26, 2012 Posted September 26, 2012 As the years go by, Raj is relying on more alcohol to talk, I don't like that. It was hilarious when Raj made a noise whiich caught Penny's attention and said "what's the matter girl? Timmy fall down the well?" LOL!!! AND when Raj and Penny are in bed and Penny in anger says "You STILL can't talk to me??". HA HA HA HA! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drarkan Posted October 15, 2017 Posted October 15, 2017 (edited) Not sure if anyone noticed but in episode 13 season 1 Raj also says "Good Story" right beside penny. He then covers his mouth with both hands as in OOPS! So I think this was a huge mistake that they choose to leave in the show. Or forgot to cut out lol. The scene proceeds as if it never happened lol Check it out at time stamp 1:32, right in the prologue Edited October 15, 2017 by Drarkan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
