The Sales Call Sublimation - S9-E12

Corrected entry: After the opening credits, Penny walks into the room talking about a doctor she's not been able to see, saying "I've been trying to get him for months". A few seconds later she says the doctor is a woman. (00:02:30)

Alex Seven Adderley

Correction: Penny says "I've been trying to get in for months."

The Solder Excursion Diversion - S9-E19

Corrected entry: It's revealed that Sheldon rents out a storage unit that contains literally everything that he has ever owned in his lifetime. How is it that nobody else has ever known about this? He doesn't drive, nor does he take public transportation, and we can assume that he must make regular trips there to store any item that he no longer needs/uses. So he would surely need to be driven there by someone, most likely by Leonard, and he obviously couldn't keep it a secret as to why he needs to go there.

Correction: While Sheldon does not like public transportation, he does take the bus when needed. There are numerous mentions of "bus pants" and "bungee cording himself to the seat" to prove he will take a bus when he has to.

Mistakes

The Countdown Reflection - S5-E24

Factual error: There is not a snowball's chance of Howard becoming an astronaut. He suffers from cardiac arrhythmia, something about which he is completely open. "Transient" or not this is easily detectable by a simple electrocardiogram, which is a fundamental part of the many medical examinations a potential astronaut will have to pass. He wouldn't even be allowed to start basic training. Note also that during his basic training he shows signs of severe stress and trauma which would inevitably trigger a cardiac episode. Even if it didn't the fact that he was falling apart at the seams would have him removed from the programme for his own good.

Trivia

The Holographic Excitation - S6-E5

Trivia: In this episode, Sheldon and Amy are trying to decide on couples' themed Halloween costumes. Sheldon is standing in front of the dry erase board. There are 2 columns written on the board. One named "Couples I Like" and the other "Couples You Like." Under the "Couples You Like" column, one of the couples is Blossom and Joey. Blossom is the name of the television character played by Mayim Bialik in the 90s and Joey was one of her brothers.

Questions

The Euclid Alternative - S2-E5

Question: Though it comes up in other episodes as well, this one is focused on Sheldon needing a ride everywhere he goes because he can't drive, not to mention his not being welcome on the bus. Of course, this story element would be nonexistent if there was a simple answer, but it does beg the question: Does Pasadena not have taxicabs?

MFWills

Chosen answer: It does. The variable cleanliness of the cab and the habit of taxi drivers to engage customers in small talk would be too much for Sheldon to handle, and not an option for him.

Captain Defenestrator

Answer: Sheldon DID finally use a taxi when going to the airport to see and propose to Amy in New Jersey.
