Cuoco points to an episode in which the women argue about comic books as an example
During "Unraveling the Mystery: A Big Bang Farewell," Kaley Cuoco reminisces about scenes her character Penny has with Bernadette (Melissa Rauch) and Amy (Mayim Bialik) have together. She recalls one in particular, which she and the other women are reading comic books. Apparently, co-star Johnny Galecki doesn't remember the episode very well — which makes sense, since the main characters' groups were split by gender in season 6's "The Bakersfield Expedition." Galecki asks, "Why was that?" And Cuoco replies, "We were trying to understand you guys, which is the theme of the whole show."
In the episode, "the guys" go off to the Bakersfield Comic-Con dressed as characters from "Star Trek: The Next Generation." Their girlfriends stay behind and get the brilliant idea to read comic books in an attempt to understand why the guys like them so much. After hitting the comic book shop, Penny picks up one featuring Thor because he's hot. Back at Penny's place, they finally finish reading and decide that the comics are stupid. Bernadette says, "It's crazy, they spend hours arguing over things that don't even exist."
That doesn't stop them from getting into a heated (and hilarious) debate over the nature of Thor's hammer, though. It leads the women to reread the comic and then into Leonard (Galecki) and Sheldon's (Jim Parsons) apartment for more comics so they can settle the debate. By the time the men return, they're wondering if they've gone into an alternate universe.
