The cinematography shines in this episode—wide shots of the Coopers squished into a single motel room, or tight close-ups of Mary’s eye-twitching rage. Even at 720p, the acting nuances (especially from Zoe Perry and Lance Barber) cut through. 1. The Germanic Meat Diet Sheldon, forced to eat at a German deli because the retreat’s food is “too emotionally seasoned,” spends the entire meal debating a waitress about the thermodynamics of bratwurst.
