I have to admit, when I found out Thursday's episode (http://forums.previously.tv/topic/50597-s10e09-the-geology-elevation/?do=getLastComment) of The Big Bang Theory would include a remote-controlled toy car version of astrophysicist Stephen Hawking, I was a little leery. "That's in very poor taste," I thought. "I hope The Big Bang Theory realizes how offensive that is." After all, it's not like Stephen Hawking can control the fact that he's in a wheelchair. He has ALS, an extremely unfunny degenerative neurological disease that has left him paralyzed and unable to speak -- that's why he communicates through a speech-generating computer. Making light of his illness by turning him into a literal plaything would be disrespectful to anyone with ALS, let alone someone who has given so
