Pedestrian Episode

There's little to recommend this episode. Penny asks Leonard to get an appointment with a psychiatrist so he can get her an interview for a pharmaceutical sales pitch. But when Leonard meets with her, he finds out some significant things about his relationship with his mother. Stuart moves out of the Wolowitz house. They miss him. And Raj and Sheldon find an asteroid and Sheldon bullies Raj. Doesn't this sound lame?

Trivia
Sheldon and Raj name the asteroid they discover after Amy. In real life there's an asteroid named for Sheldon: 246247 Sheldoncooper, discovered on September 20, 2007.

Goofs
Herschel discovered Uranus, but he did not give it that name. He named it Georgium Sidus, after his reigning monarch and patron, King George III. Understandably, that name never caught on outside of Britain. German astronomer Johann Elert Bode proposed the name Uranus after the Greek god of the sky, Ouranos. Mythologically, Uranus was also the father of Saturn, who was the father of Jupiter, which fits, given their respective orbits. Sheldon would have known all of that. So would Raj, as that naming story is well known among astrophysicists.

Quotes
Sheldon Cooper: Good news gentlemen! Amy's at a conference this weekend, which means I'm available to be entertained. As today's youth might put it, who wants to get their Sheld-on?
Howard Wolowitz: Bernie and I are getting the house ready for the remodel. We could always use an extra pair of hands.
Sheldon Cooper: Yeah, that sounds awful. Raj?
Raj Koothrappali: I've got time booked in the telescope room all weekend, scanning for rogue planets. You're more than welcome to join me.
Sheldon Cooper: That's the one to beat! Leonard?
Leonard Hofstadter: Oh, if anything, I'm trying to get my Sheld-off.
Sheldon Cooper: Well then, it looks like we have a winner. Congratulations.
Raj Koothrappali: Well, I should warn you, it's just looking at data for hours and hours on a computer screen.
Sheldon Cooper: Stop selling it kid, you won.
