The Habitation Configuration

When Sheldon goes to Wil Wheaton's home, his house number (1701) is visible. 1701 is the number in the registry for the U.S.S. Enterprise-D (NCC-1701-D) in Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987) in which Wheaton appeared.

During "Fun With Flags" scenes, filter effects are applied to simulate viewing the action through the lens of Sheldon's digital video camera. This makes the image appear desaturated and slightly pixelated. That pixelated filter has been left on by mistake later in this episode in some shots as Leonard and Sheldon call up Amy. Specifically, the shots filmed through the rightmost camera of the stage.

I need to apologize. In an earlier vanity card I made a derisive comment about a popular reality show because I thought its premise - a group of single women compete with one another to win the affections of, and ultimately marry, an eligible man - was more threatening to the sanctity of marriage than gay people tying the knot. After careful consideration, I now realize that I couldn't have been more wrong. My mistake was that I was looking at the show through the tired old eyes of 60's feminism. But we are clearly in a post-feminist era. The patriarchal sexism that treated women as chattel and dictated how much they could earn or how much control they could have over their own bodies is a thing of the past, a curious relic of a dark, unenlightened time. Likewise, the idea that a woman without a man was somehow incomplete has long ago been consigned to the overflowing dustbin of humankind's misbegotten thinking. Women are now free to do anything they want, and that includes going on a reality show and using all their female wiles to snag Mr. Right.

I really don't know what else to say except, "I'm sorry and, um... you go, girl!"
