They had the right idea straight from the gate, with The Nerdvana Annihilation, for example. The variations in the reactions to a potential Time Machine were splendid, and the Morlock dream-within-dream is unparalleled in the show thus far. In my opinion…
Yes. If Sheldon had actually ripped a hole into another dimension in the basement... Or they used a laser from space to fill someone's house with popcorn, a la 'Real Genius'.
Actually, the sheer number of shout-outs that have been missed in paintball scenarios alone boggles me. Maybe I watch too many films, but I'd have chucked in 'Rambo', 'Predator' and 'Apocalypse Now' for a start. 'Community' managed the pop culture nods much better. Heck, 'The Guild' did, too, and that was a five minute webcast.
