Perhaps It's Time to Move On

When Wil Wheaton becomes the star of an episode, it's pretty sad. I did enjoy seeing some of the big time SciFi guys playing D&D with him, but otherwise, the plot was dull. Maybe they could add another two minutes of commercials. Eventually, the commercials will be interrupted by the show. Obviously, the characters' priorities in life have stagnated to utter predictability.

Quotes
Wil Wheaton: Hey, Leonard, I have an opening in my D&D game next week, and I was wondering if you were interested in playing.
Leonard Hofstadter: [flattered] Well, yes, thank you.
Wil Wheaton: Okay, great. Now, here's the thing. You can't tell anyone. I'm serious. Not Howard, not Raj, and certainly not Sheldon.
Leonard Hofstadter: Okay.
Wil Wheaton: I'm really sorry to put you in a position where you have to lie to your friends...
Leonard Hofstadter: [hanging up] See you there!
