Well that's the thing, there are some ladies who visit this forum who would like to see Leonard in a speedo. As well as some men who'd like to see Penny in a bikini.  And a few people who'd like to see both.

And with a little on-line searching, it's possible to see Mr. Galecki in considerably less than a Speedo.

Well here ladies (and anyone else who wants to look) Here's your chance. goldenorb didn't post a link but it probably isn't that difficult to find.

Apparently its being filmed over two days but not until later in the week

 

 All right. I hope someone who attends the taping will post some interesting information about it...

Did you see "Love and Other Drugs"? Anne Hathaway's character gives a "to camera" list of reasons of why she is making the intimate in-movie video. Those reasons might also work as an explanation as to why Anne Hathaway was making that whole movie. (Which incidentally made my wife and I laugh like drains - the way they (the Hathaway and Gyllenhaal characters) collided at the outset - and I think she didn't even get her boots off). The nude scenes were entirely appropriate for a film about love and drugs, especially as the drug was Viagra. Ms Hathaway's career has not suffered for it.

 

I know it's a little bit off topic, but perhaps not so much. Nudity in film has to be wexamined in  a case per case basis. Specifically in the movie you mention, Anne Hathaway's nudity is completely necessary, and there is a reason for each and every time she appears nude on screen, and it's not even the most important part of the movie, nor is it the only thing to the protrayal of the character. So... needless to say Penny most definitely has the right to appear topless in a movie if she so desires, and it shouldn't be anything to frown about. If the movie is exploitative, however it could considered a bad career choice, but it ultimately it's up to her.

I'd think most of the time they don't want to argue about the rating so they go all gutless. Its ludicous for an actress to en-brassiered in the morning after when context clearly implies they have been having a grown up cuddle. One of the appealing things about TBBT is that they maintain their integrity there. All hail Ms Cuoco and the EPs.

It really pisses me off when that happens as well. Or not in the case of TBBT, but for example a movie, when they are having sex and the woman is wearing a bra. As you say, it completely lacks truthfulness. There are many ways, if ratings don't permit or are a problem or an issue, to film something happening in a truthful way but not really showing anything. Sometimes restrictions can force creativity, give the PTB something to try to work around.

You can have sex wearing a bra on. Especially when it's cold

[rachelshamyfan]

I don't know if Roxanne, from the other forum, is going or if it's just a friend of hers that's going, but whoever it is, that person is going to tomorrow's taping.

I think someone was trying to find someone from tonight's taping to do some kind of report.

 

But I don't think any of our "regulars" are attending this week.

[rachelshamyfan]

Ok cool

We might get to hear little bits I guess

[bigbangsheldon]

roxannes friend is going tomorrow

From TVLine:

 

PREVIOUSLY ON... | Raj experienced a breakthrough with the fairer sex when he managed to hold down a conversation with Penny while sober. Leonard, meanwhile, abandoned Sheldon and Penny for the summer to go work in the North Sea with his idol Stephen Hawking.

COMING UP NEXT | The season picks up near the end of Leonard's Summer at Sea, which means viewers will get a glimpse of the bonding Penny and Sheldon have done in his absence. "There may be a little hugging," teases exec producer Steve Molaro. "They have some really sweet scenes together." Raj, meanwhile, is trying to harness his newfound oratory power. "He can now speak to women without alcohol, but that doesn't mean he's good at it -- he's not," Molaro says with a laugh. "And he's still heartbroken about Lucy and sort of picking up the pieces and trying to move forward." An upcoming episode centered on an MIT-style scavenger hunt gave Molaro and his fellow writers the opportunity to play around with some unique character pairings. "Amy and Howard are one of those," he confirms. "Without telling you exactly what it is, I will tell you they find something very specific that they bond over, and it's quite charming."

TVLINE BONUS SPOILER | A major professional development will have Sheldon reeling, although the nature of said news remains a mystery -- even to Molaro! "We're still arguing about it right now," he laughs.

What in the freak are they talking about?  Leonard abandoned no one let along Penny and his bat crazy roommate.  I get so tired to everyone trying to may Leonard into a bad guy.  A great opportunity can his way and he took advantage of it and there is nothing wrong with that.

 

As for P/S they seem to have gotten along just fine without Leonard. They share secrets with each other something Penny has never seem able to do with Leonard.  So why make it appear Leonard harm these two in some way or other.

The second part about the future episode containing unique character pairings has be wondering what the writers have in their minds there. Since Amy is with Howard, who is Sheldon with, Bernadette would be very unique to be with Sheldon, but somehow I get the feeling he will be paired with Penny again.

See I this point I don't care who P/S are paired with.  I want Leonard to be able to get away from both for a while on screen and have some fun. Let Leonard be with Bernie for once as he rarely gets paired with anyone that isn't Penny or Sheldon.  We know that Howard and Amy will be paired together so that leave Bernie open and I say go for it with L/B working together.

[phantagrae]

That blurb is a lot of half-assed hype of certain aspects of the storylines coming up, played up to get people all a-flutter.

 

We already know what's happening in the first 2 episodes.  The "unique" pairings aren't really all that complicated.  I think they've already been mentioned--Penny and Sheldon doing a little bonding while Leonard's gone, Amy and Bernie on their roadtrip, and then Amy and Howard in an upcoming episode.

 

It's not like we're going to have a "change partners and dance!!" situation.  I think that it's actually very healthy and interesting to see how the friends all interact with others in the group that they don't usually hang out with, or interacting in different circumstances, etc.

 

As for the "abandoned" line, that's partly hype and partly kind of a play on the way Sheldon and Penny kind of feel at one point, when Leonard's not missing them as much as they're missing him.  It's mostly semantics.  I don't think there's anything to get worked up about.

 

I hadn't heard about the "scavenger hunt" idea being behind the A/H pairing, but it could be interesting to see who teams up with whom, or if everyone else participates or not.  Sounds like it could be a lot of fun.

I think it's just more a marketing thing to get people more interested in watching the season premier An A Level in media and that's one of the things I remember. Simply because 'Leonard goes to the North Sea without Penny or Sheldon' just doesn't sound quite as exciting. I got to write a whooole essay about why things are more dramatic in pre-premier reports, yay! *sarcasm sign*

Exactly.

 

That's why you always see previews for upcoming episodes edited in such a way that it sounds like something else is being said, or that some major character is going to die, etc.

 

There was a recent promo for the 2nd half of a 2-part story on Perception where the main female character, an FBI agent, had shot a man under questionable circumstances and was being investigated.

In the promos she states, seemingly very emphatically, that she deliberately killed a man--seeming to imply that she was going to admit that she shot him on purpose, etc.

In the actual episode, when she says that line, she's kind of realizing that she might have made a mistake about the circumstances (she thought she was protecting someone, etc.) and it's a very different context.

 

You really have to read between the lines with such blurbs and promos and not take things too much to heart.

[Martin Pollard]

They always slant promos in such a way as to get you to watch, so I always take them with a grain of salt the size of the Andromeda galaxy. :lol:

I'm very curious about the A/H intercations. Maybe it's for this unusual pairing that they need some outdoor scenes and then 2 taping days. can't wait the report

[eirwinrommel]

I think the bonus spoiler is more interesting. Could it be that Sheldon doesn't get tenure? The description could fit, since He's convinced he's the only worthy choice (actually he thinks he's the only correct choice for anything good that happens).

Well, I think it was Lorre that said that he's going to have some kind of big career breakthrough that will change things for him in a way he's kind of uncomfortable with.  That could indicate that he does indeed get tenure or, what I think is more likely, it could simply be some kind of scientific breakthrough that thrusts him into the spotlight and perhaps puts him in a position where he has to deal with university dignitaries, or maybe he has to do lecture tours or something else he doesn't want to do.

 

I don't know that they're all that interested in really resolving the tenure question at this point.  I'm sure they could still play with it if they want to, and they seem to have Regina King available if they want to revisit it, but I'm not holding my breath for that resolution.  I think that if it was some crucial aspect of where they're going with the characters, they wouldn't have left it so up in the air originally.

It would probably make more sense to just give it to Kripke and keep it out of the mix for the gang, keeping them all on equal footing.

We discussed that a while back and one of the ideas was that Sheldon gets tenure, but hates all the interactions with other people that were required due to getting tenure.

[Occam's Chainsaw]

I don't think they would give Sheldon tenure. No one in any position of authority at Caltech wants to be stuck with him permanently. Also if they don't give tenure to either Leonard or Raj I really doubt they'd give it to Kripke. The interactions with Kripke work because he is on the same level as them, if he had tenure it would lose something. I really think they're either going to give it to Leonard or someone we've never met. After all it wouldn't just be the four of them up for tenure, and Leonard is of more value to the University, he can interact with donors, brings in grant money, and worked with Hawking.

[Oldnavy]

I am not saying that Kripke couldn't get tenure but it seems unlikely.  I agree with OC that this would change the relationship between Kripke and the others.  I think that it will be given to ether Leonard or Sheldon.
