I think that is supposed to be LA train station...I wonder where they are going.....or perhaps an Indian Casino as I see no luggage.

I just want to slap that whiny bitch expression off Leonard's face. With a brick.

That is not "whiny bitch face" that is "compassion and concern". It's difficult to tell, because they look similar. AND IT'S A LOVELY SCENE YOU SCOUNDREL.

Gripe shall weep. Or at least make dignified snuffling noises.

I could make a Leonard-Centric Facial Recognition chart, but it'd probably end up just as inappropriately labelled and confusing as my own. And have the same limited collection of expressions.

I see LewStonewar (the Jibbering Gibbon!) does not read Taping Reports. This is interesting. Should we be shutting up about Spoilers then? I always presumed no-one around here cared about having an episode "spoiled" in advance, as it is invariably spoiled when it airs, by one thing or another.

Ha ha ha! A "joke". I have to explain that, because it looks similar to "not a joke"...

On a completely unrelated matter, is it NORMAL then, to have a fridge covered in cutesy-wutesy photos of yourself and your designated husband, yourself and your self-proclaimed bestie (who isn't) and yourself and the butcher, the baker, the candlestick maker...etc?
The fridges I have encountered in my time generally have a panoply of awful stickers and rude poems spelled out in magnetic fridge letters.
The current one has a bull magnet from Spain with all its legs and horns snapped off (which you can imagine rather divests it of any bull-resemblance), supporting a shopping list which generally gets ignored, and now has a drawing of a knight riding a horse with pointy teeth on it.
Do other people here have photos of themselves on their fridge, mantelpiece, wall, or credenza? Is this in fact an established custom, or does Penny merely need to remind herself on a daily basis of the life she's living, lest she forget and accidentally think she had some nobler purpose?

Since I consider myself more of a Penny intellectually, maybe one of you can help clear up this episode title. Status quo means to keep the things the way they presently are, no change, nothing happens, right? So why would I waste my time on an episode (the season ending episode no less) where nothing happens and things remain the same? I'm confused. Is it me, or were the writers smoking something when coming up with a title.


On a separate note. What hell is Amy wearing in the first picture! It looks like some sort of homage to Penny's farm roots, and oh God! Is that Penny's skirt she's wearing from the CCF?

Because of the COMBUSTION bit my dear Nutz. It is the obliteration, the nullification, the conflagration, indeed the COMBUSTION of the Status Quo. Things do not remain the same. The Status Quo COMBUSTS.

Tom Hanks has made a combustion here;

Here, alternately, is a picture of the band Status Quo, apparently on fire.

Thank for that. I Must really need sleep I read it as the Status Quo Combination. My bad.

Now can you clear up WTF Amy is wearing in the first picture for me?

The Status Quo Combination sounds so unbearably dull that I feel my brain shutting down its outlying turrets and going into core fortress defense mode. I don't blame you for feeling disinclined to watch. Heaven help us!

A jerkin made from the skins of her foes? I don't know...

But on a related matter...

(please someone find the actual bloody video for me...I want to see Burns DANCING dammit!)
