I wouldn't be surprised if they're just done with that now. Time to move on to the next foundation of jokes, whatever that might be.

About the only way I see it coming back again, in any form, is if Col. Williamses other MIT friends etc, find that they can't work it out and they need at least Sheldon if not the others too.

Did Bernie unleash one of her raccoon viruses? Was Col. Williams another North Korean spy? I need to know. What do you think is in store for this storyline ?

I suspect the correct answer is one of these two things:

1.The writers realized the story was going nowhere and cut it off, and we'll never hear about the gyroscope again.

2.The writers realized the story was not extremely interesting and cut it off, but in a year or so the guys will learn about the gyroscope being used for some great purpose and all 3 fellas will win their Nobel. And Sheldon will have a conniption that Howard won a Nobel without a doctorate.

However, had we not been shown the scene where Col. Williams explained that he took the gyroscope, that would have expanded the possibilities to such things as:

1.The missing gyroscope portion of the show was all a dream and Sheldon woke up the next morning to find Bobby Ewing in the shower, and the gyroscope safely in the lab.

2.Penny cleaned it out in her next sweep of Leonard's things.

3.The Russian janitor stole it, took it back to Russia, tested and finished it, and received fame and fortune. GO POLAR BEARS!!!

I'm liking these two.

But we both know how Sheldon is about this lack of closure. Just like the show Alphas he will call Chuck Lorre and say

“Your show ended on a cliffhanger. Could you please tell me how you planned to resolve it?” After listening intently, Sheldon says, “Well, that all stinks, no wonder you got cancelled.”

But Znex, for that scenario to be possible Sheldon would have to be aware that he is on a TV show. That makes about as much sense as wearing Wednesday's underwear on Friday.

Do you really expect me to think this all the way through ? Ok lets just say that it is "Anything can happen Thursday". Is that better then?

It is as long as you're wearing Thursday's underwear.

Who is Thursday? And why is he wearing her underwear?

Or is Thursday another guy, like Friday?

What if he's wearing YOUR Thursday underwear? (If YOUR name isn't Thursday?! Or maybe he's wearing Robinson Crusoe's underwear! My head hurts...)

Is this some new-fangled way of exploding someone's brain without putting your fingers to your temples?

I don't know about anyone else, but it might make MY brain explode.

And don't assume you know where my fingers are!

Uh.... never mind.

I never liked this military angle in the show and I was glad that the writers got rid of it.

I’m not asking for a reason.

It is simply that when someone say they dislike (or like) something… for me, "why" is a question that begs to be answered. I see 'naked' dislike/like declarations all over the place, and it drives me bonkers.

Guess Amy would say that I have a compulsive need for closure.

I did not like this storyline either W2W, for many reasons including that it just did not interest me much. But also they brought Hank from Breaking Bad in as that military guy and broke my "the people Lemons likes should only be on one show forever" rule.

I wasn't crazy about the story then it was just dropped which made it worse

Maybe, instead of the tired trope of giving one of the characters amnesia, they worked some sort of black magic on the audience and gave us amnesia so we just all forgot that storyline.
