Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis is the first time Sheldon is seen driving with an actual driver's license. He obtained a learner's permit in The Euclid Alternative (2008) and drove Penny to the hospital for an emergency in The Adhesive Duck Deficiency (2009), but always claimed that he never got a real driver's license. That is, until The Space Probe Disintegration (2015) where he admitted to Leonard that he had obtained a permit after Amy gave him lessons, but kept this quiet (even from Amy) since he prefers to be driven around. In The Allowance Evaporation (2017), he also had to confess it to Amy. That makes Howard the third person to know about Sheldon's license.
- GoofsThe way Raj is sewing the clothing on the machine, he would be sewing the shirt all the way through from front to back, making it impossible to wear. In addition, he continues to use white thread to embroider after he switches to a white onesie.
- Quotes
Howard Wolowitz: You really want to drive?
Sheldon Cooper: It seems like the perfect time. The roads are straight, there's no one around, and you don't seem to care if you live or die.
Howard Wolowitz: Live, Sheldon. I want to live.
Sheldon Cooper: That makes things a little trickier, but I'll do my best.

I was listening to the Beatles channel on satellite radio when World War III started. Knowing the end was near, I sat in my car, fully expecting to hear The End, or All Things Must Pass. I got Octopus's Garden instead. As the roiling nuclear inferno swept across the Los Angeles basin, my last thought was of my father and his stubborn unwillingness to appreciate the crucial role Ringo played in the Fab Four.
"I'd like to be under the sea, In an octopus's garden in the shade."

I know I should not expect too much from this series full of clichés, but the reaction of Howard disappointed about having a boy because he doesn't know which "male activites" to teach him is really a stupid scenario. I can't believe this episode was produced in 2017.
