The Dead Hooker Juxtaposition

This is another strong episode of the show, which really seems to be hitting its stride here.

From Sheldon's impression to Penny trying to reassert herself as Queen Bee, this was good fun.

Trivia
Valerie Azlynn (Alicia) has, in fact, been in a CSI: NY (2004) episode, but not as a dead hooker.

Goofs
When Alicia and Penny talk in the laundry room, Penny folds a hoodie decorated with clouds then places it to the side. It then flashes to Alicia, and when it went back to Penny, she folds the same hoodie again and places it to the side once again.

Quotes
Penny: Leonard and Howard and Raj... they aren't like other guys. They're special.
Alicia: Okay, they're special. And?
Penny: Let's see... how can I explain this? They don't know how to use their shields.
Alicia: Shields?
Penny: Yeah... you know like in Star Trek when you are in battle and you raise the shields?
[pause]
Penny: Where the hell'd that come from? Anyways, um... you know how guys like this are, so... please don't take advantage of them.
Alicia: Who says I'm taking advantage of them?

Crazy credits
CHUCK LORRE PRODUCTIONS, #247 The quantum physics joke Penny tells the guys in tonight's episode was told to us by Nobel award-winning physicist, Dr. George Smoot. Penny tells it in about twenty seconds. Dr. Smoot's version probably took about three minutes, although it felt a lot longer. No one had the heart to tell him to get to the punch line, proving my hypothesis that in addition to time slowing down as you accelerate, it also grinds to a halt when you're being courteous to a genius. Thanks for the joke, Doc!
