Trivia
Movie memorabilia Items found in Dr. Lorvis' collection include Magneto's helmet from the X-men movies, Hellboy's gun, Indiana Jones' hat and whip, the robots from both Forbidden Planet (1956) and The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951), the Borg Queen's headpiece, Mr. Freeze and Batman suits from Batman & Robin (1997), Maria, the female robot from Metropolis (1927), RoboCop, Terminator, Superman costume, and a Martian from Mars Attacks! (1996).

Goofs
Dr. Lorvis commits numerous HIPAA violations talking about his celebrity patients' medical issues, which is highly unethical.

Actually, not really a goof. This is to show that he has no boundaries and is unaware of a lot of social, moral and ethical conventions.

Quotes
Amy Farrah Fowler: Bernadette is a successful microbiologist. She should be celebrated for her achievements, not her looks. I mean, what kind of message does that send?
Penny: I think the message is, "Check out the rack on that scientist!"

The Genius of Chuck Lorre

If anyone doubted the premise of this review's header, the evidence is certainly sufficient by now. After getting James Earl Jones to portray a buffoonish version of himself (Season 7; Episode 14), he's persuaded Billy Bob Thornton to play the lamest, most socially clueless character of his career. Karl Childers in Slingbade was a mix of James Bond and Oscar Wilde compared this episode's Dr. Lorvis. I'm a latecomer to the series, finding the binge somewhere between irresistible and addictive. The writing is consistently outstanding, and celeb appearances like this are sensational.
