    I absolutely loved this episode of The Big Bang Theory! I missed this episode when it aired live, and my coworker at DISH told me I needed to watch this one, especially with Mr. Spock showing up! I couldn’t watch it live, unfortunately, but thankfully DISH’s Hopper records all four major networks with the PrimeTime Anytime feature so I didn’t have to worry about missing it. I can’t wait for more of an amazing season to return this week, and to see what else can happen!

    Funny about Hopper – we had heard it was very poor and the only way they could get any sales was by getting people to place comments on websites saying how good it was meant to be!
