    he Sheldon Meets the Flash

    The boys are facing an unreasonable deadline and Sheldon is contributing nothing. The spar over and over. Meanwhile, Penny and Amy end up at a geology tea where no one else shows up. Raj is helping Bernadette face her lack of excitement about her baby.

    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      For the first time in the series, Sheldon admits he can't solve a math problem.
    • Goofs
      One of the storylines is that Sheldon had his first energy drink (in order to stay awake to work longer), but in The Anxiety Optimization (2015), Leonard reports that Sheldon had his first Red Bull then, as part of his efforts to keep his anxiety levels raised. Specifically, Leonard says "You know, at work today he tried his first Red Bull? He chased a squirrel around the quad for a while, and then threw up in my car."
    • Quotes

      Raj Koothrappali: I'm calling my dad, OK?. He's got experience dealing with pregnant ladies because he's an OB/GYN. And experience with crazy ladies because of my mom.

    • Crazy credits
      CHUCK LORRE PRODUCTIONS, #537

      Every now and then I feel the need to remind viewers that this show is filmed in front of a live studio audience. It is their laughter you hear on your TV. There is no "laugh track." We do not add artificial or "canned" laughs. If something isn't funny our job is to make it funny, not pretend it is. If anything, on occasion we will actually tone down studio audience laughter because it drowns out the dialogue. We have also been deleting their "oohs," "ahhhs," and "ohhhs" because it triggers Nickelodeon flashbacks in Steve Molaro.
