    Kripke's in a hospital, it seems. And for photo #7, the question is not "why does Amy look distraught?" The REAL question is, why are she and Raj in a restroom??

    I hope Shamy does not get a Nobel. I'm sure they will, to end the series on a high note, but I don't think they should. And as for Penny & Leonard trying to keep a secret... could it be that Leonard's sperm is being used for Zack's baby? For other shows, I would think it was that L & P are expecting a baby themselves, but Penny has been clear that she doesn't want kids, so I doubt she'd be thrilled at finding out she's pregnant.

    Oh well, guess I'll have to hear about this finale for the next few weeks.
