TBBT at 8 pm - most watched scripted show of the night (4.12 million viewers)

TBBT at 9 om - 2nd most watched scripted show of the night (3.56 million viewers)

YS at 8:30 pm - 3rd most watched scripted show of the night (3.41 million viewers)

YS at 9:30 om - 4th most watched scripted show of the night (3.03 million viewers)

Additionally to this Variety has reported that the Feb. 7 episode "Donation Oscillation" had a Live + 7 rating of 18.853. This plus the Live+7 rating of 18.010 for the "Propagation Proposition" episode would make the Lenny featured episodes the highest rated for the season thus far. This certainly shows the viewers choice

Looks like the nomination is official tonight.

What's the betting Sheldon will be having a dream with all those Nobel-winning scientists in it ? For what other reason do they gather in one place ?

A Dream would make sense

Finally, Shamy will get their much deserved nomination.

Guess we know what the main plot of the finale (or pre-finale) episode will be about.
My guess is that the other two scientist (played by Kal and Sean) screw up somewhere, and will be kicked off the nomination.

I am excited to see what happens, I am betting that they do get a nomination this episode. I also enjoy watching  Joshua Molina so this will be another reason to look forward to this episode. I wonder if this will be the last time he makes an appearance for the show.

Much deserved?  The for a show that has spent it's entire run being proud of accurate science, the so-called super-asymmetry is not science.

The only screw up that could affect their eligibility for the Nobel, would be if  their results are invalid (something like the Chinese team that verified his previous super heavy isotope idea, by faking results).  The down side for that, would be it would leave super-asymmetry without any experimental proof, and thus not eligible for a Nobel.

Dumb luck =well deserved. Do you think the audience is smart enough to know if science is science?

No, can't blame Shamy for this, claiming science that is incorrect  isn't the character's fault.

To be honest, I wouldn't put a weary Penny on this inanity.

IIRC they asked Dr. Saltzberg (spelling?) to come up with something do you gotta blame him.

Oh, I do.  The entire raison d'être for having super-asymmetry is that there were no papers against it.  Of course there were none for it either, and there is a very good reason for that, having to do with conservation laws.    Kaons may be the way forward (as there may, note I said may), be a reason for their decay rates to be different, and their decay paths to be different.  Although according to the CKM Matrix, those asymmetries are predicted so no asymmetry is needed.   It's also worth noting that asymmetry in Kaon decay  has already been awarded Nobel prizes in 1964 and 1980.  If you wish to know more, check out the following links for  eigenstates, eigenvalues, or eigenvectors or linear algebra and tensors.

I haven't even finished my morning coffee so no, I'm not interested.

I was just pointing out where the idea came from in the first place cause ever since this plot came up I've seen people accuse the writers to make it all up without their physics consultant even though he's the one who came up with that in the first place. So there.

Funny episode tonight.  A-plot was the Shamy Nobel laureate situation. No resolution tonight on that front. They're still competing with Dr. Pemberton (Sean Astin) and Dr. Campbell (Kal Penn) for the nomination. They (Pemberton & Campbell) have been doing a publicity tour for support. They even went on Ellen to sing a viral song about physics that they'd posted on YouTube lol. Siebert planned a reception for Sheldon & Amy to drum up some support from other Nobel laureates, but none of them wanted to come because Sheldon has insulted all of them at one point or another. Leonard and Penny eventually convinced them all to come to the reception. 

B-plot was Howard and Bernie. Basically she wanted to make a nighttime story book for the kids about how Howard overcame his fears in space, called The Frightened Little Astronaut. And she wanted Stuart to illustrate it. Howard wasn't feeling it, but eventually he agreed to it, though he kept trying to change details to make himself look better.

Lots of VIPs there tonight. Mayim's Mom as well as Jim's Mom were in the front row. The hype guy jokingly teased Jim's Mom about something (he didn't recognize her at first), then spent the rest of the night apologizing to her lol. Iain Armitage (Young Sheldon) was there too. He was hanging with Jim in Sheldon's spot after the show. You can tell the cast is savoring these last few eps. Lots of joking around and laughing, lots of hugs after the curtain call. When they came to speak to the audience, it seemed like Kaley was on the verge of tears.

I'll do a more detailed taping report tomorrow.

@Trinabeana78  Thank you! I really appreciate it.

Oh, I agree with you. I lump him with the writers as he writes the scientific stuff.  So there.😜

hows the little one doing?
