From @BigBang_CBS:

>> Chuck Lorre: “The show is about extraordinary people, not nerds”
>> Jim Parsons: “I just wanted the chance to play Sheldon in the pilot”
>> Moderator said “Penny digs nerds” & Kaley Cuoco responds: “Kaley digs nerds too! We’re just riding this wave as long as you let us.”

>> Melissa does an impression and says in the show mom voice: “What is this #comiccon you’re at? Is it some kind of sex convention?!”
>> Mayim Bialik: “I fell in love with biology when I was on blossom. I love neuroscience, I love academia.”

>> Bill Prady: “there will be a resolution & we think whichever way you came down on something that’s the way it works out.”
>> Cast fav moments — Kaley: “where a lovely man had to grab my ass when dancing. He was an older man and he was so nervous!”
>> Cast fav moments — Kunal: “when we had to learn the bollywood dance and learn the song. I got yelled at by the teacher.”
>> Fav moments — Simon: “I enjoyed wrestling w/ kunal on & off camera. I like putting the unitard on – very convenient piece of clothing”
>>  Bill Prady: “Sheldon seems singularly devoted to science. It’s biological if he’s actually vulcan”
>> Fan said he was in Iraq and TBBT got him through it. Sheldon: “Thank you for serving our country, Bazinga!”
>> Jim: “We are so lucky on this show. The shows stay interesting. The writers keep giving us things that are so organic and honest.”

>> Fan Q: Was it embarrassing singing Soft Kitty? Kaley: “it was fun!” Jim: “It was awkward for me, I had to bare flesh!”
>> Kunal was asked a question & said he didn’t understand, so Simon repeated the question w/ an indian accent. The fans cracked up!
>> Last fan question: What do u have in common w/ ur characters? Kaley: “I live next door to people.” Melissa: “we’re both really short”
>> What do u have in common w/ ur characters? Simon: “I would say there’s very little. I do have an affinity for clothes.”

From @TVGuide:

>> Mayim Bialik jokes that kissing Kaley Cuoco was her favorite scene, but it was really when Amy got drunk
>> Chuck Lorre: “Mayim is a very sexual actress. She’s a very dirty, dirty girl. Full-frontal nudity this year.” He’s kidding…
>> Bill Prady says Sheldon’s kiss with Wolowitz’s mom doesn’t count. Amy is his real first kiss.
>> “Cheers brought people to alcoholism. TBBT brought people to science,” says Chuck Lorre

From @Jimmy722:

>> Jim Parsons didn’t try to make Sheldon sympathetic, but he’s always felt human and empathetic to him as an actor “he’s a lovely fella”

>> “You’re the only person who can help with dialogue!” Jim says to Mayim, after she says he says she’s the nerdiest person on the cast.

Amtrak’s Pacific Surfliner makes the 128-mile journey from Los Angeles to San Diego in two hours and 45 minutes. Pulled by a mighty Electro-Motive diesel engine, the train heads south on tracks laid in 1888 by the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway. Fifty-one weeks a year, the train takes vacationers south to Sea World or north to Universal Studios. For one weekend in July, though, boarding the Pacific Surfliner is as close as you can come to climbing into the Hogwarts Express at Kings Cross Platform 9¾…

Get ready, “Big Bang Theory” fans — the show you love is at least wrapping up the filming portion of their season. In a new post on Twitter, showrunner Bill Prady confirmed the news by saying that they were in the preliminary stages of getting the finale set to air:

“Finished table draft (the draft the actors will read at the table) of season finale today. Ep will shoot a week from tomorrow and air in May”

Now we may not know what exactly this finale is going to contain, but we have at least heard a few pieces of spoiler dish regarding how some of this season is going to play out. Expect things for Leonard and Priya to eventually turn south, but a good bit of the character development the rest of the way is actually going to revolve around Howard. He is seriously considering popping the question to Bernadette, and he also has an upcoming medical crisis involving his mother that could very well change the way he lives.

The New York Times has a new article about the the reactions of real scientists to The Big Bang Theory.  They also chat with the cast about their opinions.

Three years later some scientists still say that although the series, “The Big Bang Theory” (Monday nights on CBS), is funny and scientifically accurate, they are put off by it. “Makes me cringe,” said Bruce Margon, an astrophysicist at the University of California, Santa Cruz, explaining, “The terrible stereotyping of the nerd plus the dumb blond are steps backwards for science literacy.”

Lisa Randall, a Harvard particle theorist who has visited the show’s set twice and appeared as an uncredited extra in one scene said, “I do think the writers are genuinely clever.” Lawrence Krauss, a cosmologist at Arizona State, and author of “The Physics of Star Trek,” said he had changed his initial dire opinion about the program. “First, because it is funny, and continues to be,” he said. “Second, because the characters have developed softer edges, and one of them has the girl!”

The point of the show, Mr. Prady said, is to tell small stories. “We are not doing ‘Lost,’ we’re not doing a complex novel for TV,” he said. “We follow the characters, and let them tell us what they’re going to do next. We’re telling stories about outsiders. We all feel like outsiders. Can you find love? Penny pulls Leonard to the outside world; Sheldon pulls him back.” Mr. Lorre said that the whole “challenge and joy” of a series like this is character development. “Maybe at the end of the day this will inspire some kids to go into physics,” he added, “just like ‘Cheers’ inspired countless young people to go into bars.”

Thanks very much to Bill Prady’s Twitter account we have a new set photo from The Big Bang Theory!  His tweet says; “Preshooting scenes for the #bigbangtheory season finale. New set: the roof.”
