We're shooting the episode of the #BigBangTheory that airs Thursday 10/30 right now!

thanks for the pic!

ah, having read the TR for the Prom ep. I feel very intrigued on what's going to happen in this one!  

 

 

...and giving my two cents on what happened here between Mon and today, i'm sorry some of you were truly upset for the promoted-however-cut hug scene, you all have a valid point and is that the so called 'hug' was promoted in the promo pics; the only reason i can think of is that the hug didn't fit in the scene, and when it comes to shorten the ep, the hug was a reasonable option. and with this in mind i'm glad they cut it off, because quite frankly, for what we can see of the promo pics (and the TR) that action can't even qualify as a hug, IMO. I had this bittersweet feeling when i saw the 'boa constrictor' hug in season 6, i was happy there was a form of physical contact between S and A, but it saddened me a little to see S wasn't yet so comfortable as to let himself hug Amy back, but i accepted it and took it anyway because it was overall a nice intimate shamy moment. however, in this case, if the cuasi-hug had aired, i'd have given it a massive eyeroll, it would have been able to be seen from the Moon, seriously, to see that type of reaction from S at this point of their relationship, would have been extremely dissapointing, so there is that.

 
another thing i wanted to say is that, concerning what happened with the 'report-leaks' (lol), i'm not a fan of letting know freely, without 'spoiler alert', what happens on a oncoming episode, outside of this spoiler threads. and if everything comes down to restrict in some way the access to TR (in case we have them, because we shouldn't take them for granted!), you have my vote.

Well Im annoyed they cut the hug. But apparently Im not allowed to express that.. In the context of things.. They filmed something, I was excited.  We had a promo photo of it, I was more excited. It was cut, I was upset about it.

Kazzie, you're certainly allowed to feel what you feel when and how you feel it, but I think what's been going on here is putting it perspective.

In the grand scheme of the Shamy relationship, and certainly in the context of the episode, this particular hug wasn't any kind of real turning point. While it may have been very cute to see it, I don't think it was crucial to the scene.

Whether or not they should have out it in the promos isn't a matter of bait-and-switch, IMO, but probably more a matter of the stills being released before the episode was completely edited. If the promos pics are taken during taping, then anything can happen between that Tuesday night and the time it airs.

We've had all kinds of changes before, between taping and airing--different takes being used, new tag scenes shot after taping night (the Streetcar scene, the end of the first Professor Proton episode, etc.)

When one has more invested, it's harder to take, but in this case, again, it wasn't really a game-changer.

As for the ILY, that's not going to change. Tats a completely different situation as the whole scene is built around it and it is the whole purpose of the scene. That's not something they're going to change.

Billy Bob Thorton guest stars, it actually was a big secret. Even on our programs it said "special guest" where the actors name usually is...sadly i read a sheet with his name on it before I saw that, awkward.... LOL!!!!!!!! He doesn't play himself, but a creepy character named Oliver who is a celebrity urinary doctor or something? He has James Camerons kidney stones.  LOL, he falls in love with every girl nice to him and counts Mississippi's when girls touch his arm.. 

 

Kind of a second plot with Amy and Bernadette having an argument but it was dropped that it doesn't really count... 

Showed us the Prom episode, was AMAZING 

 

Writing up my report now..

BBT on BBT... How meta. I told the hubby as I was reading the taping report (no subterfuge this morning, my "Whaaaat?" was audible.) His question was "Sling blade or School for scoundels?"

"Stalker urologist who owns kick ass sci-memorable dungeon to trap the boys so he can awkwardly romance the ladies thru... misunderstanding social interaction... It sounds like BBT needs to take an a few school for scoundrels night courses."

"But when's prom, damn it?" Asks the hubby, "isn't there a Shamy "I love you" next episode? We gotta wait." OMG.... He remembered! Seriously, his memory is for shit. I can believe would remember it was coming, not when. Also, bless his Shamy heart. "Still Billy Bob's creepy as hell, the props sound cool (I'd been sharing the Instagram photos all week.) It's 3am! Jesus! Why are you up?"

Thiat last part of the exchange is normally why the "whaaaat?" isn't said out loud.

Pisq, it is a guest star episode.... Shrugs. This one has a little more plot in that we get an answer to the "how much flirting is involved in pharma sales?"

Ring on right hand, hand to arm contact=2 Mississippi. So in other words... From what we've discovered... Nothing crazy is going on sales calls! That's more plot then we got from Sheldon's dream date with James Earl Jones.

This episode sounds a little bit funny but it goes like way off the latest episodes, with character development and relationship development. Is this...dare I say it...a filler?

Sounds like it to me plus they probably want to hype on the BillyB element which to some novice viewers may be a big deal, and it's the first episode back on Thurs and sweeps.

They already have us but if a name like Billy Bob gets the novice or new viewers to move nights and watch, can't say I blame them.

I am more happy BillyB was on because he is a fan himself, not because of who he is as an actor

I think it's a filler episode if you are not a Lenny fan. It does answer for Leonard what type of clients Penny may be dealing with and if he should be worried. In this case it's some doctor who is twice as old as Penny. I don't think Leonard is worried now.

Some cute parts like the guys playing the games.

Always putting down Amy's looks is getting old.

To me 8:08 ep is a filler ep. eh its ok . I will still watch it but not like a million times like prom ep.

:icon_question::icon_arrowu:  What a generalization.

As a sitcom one could say all episodes are filler. :icon_rolleyes:

It exists to be funny and entertaining. I enjoy the science sprinkles. In this case I liked the Voyager reference. It is not all romantic relationship stuff.

I shouldn't of made that generalization. My comment was aimed at the poster who thought it was "filler" because it didn't relate to their favorite relationship canon.
