I remember in an interview where Bill Prady said that the 100th episode would bring back things that were in the Pilot…
Yes, Leonard and Penny were wearing the same clothing in last night’s episode that they wore when they first met in the Pilot.
Don’t ask me why I notice these things.And don’t ask me why these are the things that keep me up at 5 in the morning.
