All the usual things can be said, great series, legendary cast, probably height of franchise etc.... but one thing I've said before, and I'll say it again - It was SkyDome big.<br />

Kind of funny, geek-funny anyways, spoof of famous "It's a Unix System, I know this!" scene from Jurassic Park.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
What's crazier beyond that is there's a whole subreddit I just stumbled upon devoted to the funny, over-the-top misrepresentations of computers and hacking we see all the time in movies & television. Find it on <a href="http://itsaunixsystem.reddit.com/">/r/itsaunixsystem</a> naturally.</div>

Understandably, the younger, more modern and connected generation has more than a few geeks in its ranks and is drawn to the US sitcom. <br />
<br />
More interesting is that Chinese tv producers have taken notice and like all things, have actually built multiple homegrown shows that appear to borrow (steal/plagiarize) plot lines and ideas from BBT. Particularly is one popular show called <i>iPartment</i>. (<span style="background-color: white; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19.200000762939453px;">爱情公寓)</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="border: 0px; clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfeGmFbXi6Hacj55CKspAe2-vrJXjkxU09v6CMPc61jYuP2vi0h-T57LmwSLKoAoEONXpIk6uAlzMGWNT5xJI5qGBV1FG9i7uzd6mXFv0IzND13gtGXAoE7EHteH2sIkYK0W1pD0ATCf6c/s1600/chinese-sitcom-ipartment-poster-bbt-scene-stealing.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="border: 0px; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfeGmFbXi6Hacj55CKspAe2-vrJXjkxU09v6CMPc61jYuP2vi0h-T57LmwSLKoAoEONXpIk6uAlzMGWNT5xJI5qGBV1FG9i7uzd6mXFv0IzND13gtGXAoE7EHteH2sIkYK0W1pD0ATCf6c/s1600/chinese-sitcom-ipartment-poster-bbt-scene-stealing.jpg" height="282" style="border: 0px;" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
While the show is a bit more general about some twenty-somethings living in Shanghai, some very familiar character-types and scenes appear in the show. Sure enough, found this handy comparison video by some Chinese video site user that shows BBT clips and iPartment ones. Wacky as always, see if you can follow along.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/-qyQdIakBx8?rel=0" width="480"></iframe>
</div>
<br />
Of course, Big Bang is no stranger to imitation. There was that other story about the duplicate show out of Belarus, <i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Big_Bang_Theory#The_Theorists_controversy" target="_blank">The Theorists</a></i>, that even Chuck Lorre commented on in one of his regular end of episode vanity cards. Of course, in that case, when the actors found out that they were cast in a rip of BBT, they wanted nothing to do with it. haha<br />

<br />
Sad to see it go, but it had a good run. We had some good laughs about stuff from it and in comparison these days, the geek levels remained high compared to Big Bang Theory which has drifted into mainstream 'relationship drama' territory. Won't make any comment about the final ep other than it's length is a bit unusual for the regularly 22 minute show or whatever... not sure they knew how to expand it into an hour. Enjoy nonetheless!<br />

Actually, a lot of words. Patrick Stewart's girlfriend on the random filming? (vertical mistake too) feet? Stewart gets ladies by teaching 'masterclasses'? He really is at the top of his game/living life these days isn't he?</div>

If that doesn't say Movie Trailer to you...Andrew stumbled upon this trailer for some sort of indie type film about a girl trying to break into the movie trailer voiceover business. Thought the title was pretty good. First thing you think of when you hear 'In A World...' right?<br />

The cast seems to all get along really well, and obviously the demand for such a thing isn't going down anytime soon, so a stopover in Canada's largest city Toronto was bound to happen. It was minus a few crew members of seasons past, @wilw and Tasha Yar. But that's ok, we get enough Wheaaatttonnn on BBT and Tasha Yar was killed off so early by that black tar pool.<br />

I won't get into photo lifting and video posting in this post -- the newer/rogue 'fanexpo'-type event was somewhat under-reported but still some dedicated fans have been posting photos and scouring for great moments after the fact. Two I happened upon stand out and should be all you need.<br />
<br />
One is this German (?) guy who's archived tons of great photos. <a href="http://data2364.wordpress.com/2013/03/11/bilder-und-videos-von-der-toronto-comicon/" target="_blank"><b>Bilder und Videos von der Toronto ComiCon</b></a><br />
