I'm a college librarian and I have always been baffled by this episode. When you write an academic paper, you cite the materials you used--journal articles, books, etc. Citations show where you got the information you refer to. You note these sources and then create your works-cited page. You don't write the whole thing and then run around looking for citations. If Sheldon and Amy were citing that Russian book, it means they had seen it and referred to it in their paper. It should not have been a surprise to them. From an academic research standpoint, the whole premise of this episode makes no sense.
I haven't laughed even once. They should really cancel this show after they cancelled the joy of watching it. Its been a great journey throughout all the seasons but the longer Big Gang Theory is produced the more mediocre it becomes. It no longer has its special vibe and brilliance of dialogues. Its all gone, like 2 or 3 seasons ago.
Just another average, or sub average episode of season 12 - and average is relative to season 12, not complete serial. After 3 weeks I actually don't remember almost nothing. There was same lame twist about possible super great discovery.
Well, I think that I invented basic idea for 1 episode. That includes singularity, inventing, discovering something, big bang - yes, ideal for final ep. of serial :-) No, I don't want this to be finished, and ep. 10 of season 12 was really good. I want more, that's why I offer my idea, which is actually online, in 1 forum signature. Surely, this serial is far less popular than in beginning and some 3 years ago, but could last for another 5 seasons with some fresh blood. Surely actors are important factor too, but I would watch it even if Jim Parson will leave and something really fresh and good comes instead. Yeah, I may be biggest fan of this serial, and I'm a nerd. Look all those my reviews here ... All this was in my head 3 weeks ago, but after this ep. somehow was not motivated to put on paper, pardon IMDB. Ep. 10 made me to do it .

All the work done by Amy and Sheldon goes for naught. A Russian physicist had already tested the theories and realized it wouldn't work. This leads to deep depression and a lust for Thai food. Meanwhile Bernadette goes manic over a video game.
I used to be a viewer at the beginning, the show was really good, but it then it became stale, I honestly haven't seen the show in years, yet because it's the last season, I watched on 11-15-18.
What husband wants to hear a wife saying that she makes more than him? It's not funny!
What if during an argument a husband tells the same to his wife? Do you think it's funny?

- GoofsMost scientists would study a paper with a conflicting theory to either disprove or use its research in their own work before just giving up like Sheldon did.

Sheldon Cooper: You're probably wondering why I put you through this.
