- TriviaFor some reason, Kaley Cuoco is omitted from the credits - despite appearing in the episode. In the beginning of the episode while Leonard, Howard and Raj are walking up the stairs the credits start with "Starring Johnny Galecki, Jim Parsons, Simon Helberg, Kunal Nayyar. ..." instead of "Starring Johnny Galecki, Jim Parsons, KALEY CUOCO, Simon Helberg, Kunal Nayyar. ..."
- GoofsWhile playing SWTOR Leonard tells Raj the Empire is on his tail, indicating they are playing Republic characters, which is further supported by the view of Raj's laptop. However, the screen shot of Bernadette's character clearly shows she is playing a Sith Inquisitor (armor in SWTOR is specific to both class and faction).

Featured review
They did it again with this-"The Weekend Vortex" ep of "The Big Bang Theory"
Raj suggests to Leonard and Howard a weekend of playing Star Wars online while going to Sheldon's apartment. Sheldon agrees when they tell him of the plans but Amy reminds him of his previous agreement with her to spend that time with her at her aunt's 93rd birthday party. When Leonard tells Penny, she's fine with it which disappoints Leonard a little since he sorta wanted her to put somewhat of a fight. Since she's an actress, she obliges. And then Howard tells Bernadette...This seems to be a battle-of-the-sexes-type story told in "The Big Bang Theory"-style with a telling comment by Raj at the end. In summary, this ep-"The Weekend Vortex" was another funny enough ep of "The Big Bang Theory".
