­　　“The Big Bang Theory” is finally introducing Penny’s mom and brother, and they’re already TV icons. “Sons of Anarchy” and “Married with Children” alum Katey Sagal will join the hit CBS comedy as the mother of Kaley Cuoco’s character, and “30 Rock” alum Jack McBrayer will play Penny’s brother in the first episode of Season 10, showrunner Steve Molaro revealed at Comic-Con.

­　　《生活大爆炸》中潘妮的媽媽和哥哥終于要出場了，而且他們早已是電視劇偶像了。美劇《混亂之子》和《奉子成婚》中的凱特蕾·薩加爾將參演哥倫比亞廣播公司熱播情景喜劇，出演卡蕾·措科扮演的潘妮的媽媽一角，而《勁爆三十歲》里的杰克麥克布瑞爾將在第十季中扮演潘妮的哥哥，據動漫大會主持斯蒂夫莫拉羅稱。

­　　Per CBS, Sagal will play Susan, who is described as stressed out and neurotic from a life with her troubled son. McBrayer will play Randall, a cheerful former drug dealer and ex-con. The casting marks a reunion for Cuoco and Sagal, who co-starred together in “8 Simple Rules.”

­　　在劇集中，薩加爾將扮演蘇珊-一位筋疲力盡、神經緊張的母親，與她的問題兒子生活在一起。麥克布瑞爾將扮演蘭德爾-以前是販毒者且有牢獄經歷，后重新振作的兒子。這部劇集標志著庫柯和赫薩加爾的再度合作，他們之前曾在《約會八條規》里共同擔任主演。

­　　Something else to look forward to in Season 10, per Molaro: “Sheldon and Amy go to what we know is a real-life flag convention.”

­　　第十季還有更多期待，據莫拉羅稱：“謝耳朵和艾米將開啟現實版的國旗公約。”

­　　A fan asked what’s coming up for Penny’s career in Season 10, given that she’s currently unhappy but making plenty of money. “We’re still figuring things out; I think she’s in an interesting and relatable place. She’s going to start to weigh her options,” Molaro said. While the writers find it hard to film at real conventions like WonderCon and San Diego Comic-Con, Molaro did tease that the B-movie Penny made with Wil Wheaton “is floating around and has developed a cult following” in the world of the show, so she may be able to make a quick buck “signing autographs at small conventions as the star of ‘Serial Apist’” in Season 10.

­　　一位粉絲問到第十季里潘妮的職業是什么，因為她現在并不開心，但卻掙到很多錢。“我們仍在商榷；潘妮的角色很有意思也容易產生共鳴。她要開始重新作出選擇。”莫拉羅說。作者發現很難拍出真實的展覽會比如奇跡大會、圣地亞哥動漫展會等，莫拉羅卻調侃潘妮和威爾·惠頓拍的爛片在劇集里“廣為流傳甚至有了一批死忠粉”，因此第十季中潘妮可能“作為爛片"Serial Apist"的女主角在小型聚會上靠簽售照片大賺一筆。”

­　　Molaro also revealed what went into writing Sheldon and Amy’s long-awaited “coitus” last season, admitting, “Not since the loss of my own virginity have I stressed out or been so invested in a single physical act. It meant a lot to us, it was a long time in the making.” Molaro said that a couple of aspects of the episode were planned a few years in advance; he knew he wanted to include Bob Newhart as a Force ghost to “give Sheldon some fatherly advice,” and thought that if it happened on Amy’s birthday or another annual date, Sheldon could say that he looked forward to doing it again next year.

­　　莫拉羅說到上一季中觀眾苦苦等來謝耳朵和艾米的“滾床單”，他承認：“自從我失去童真以后，就再也沒有感到緊張或沉迷于擼啊擼中。這對我們來說意義重大，制作這集耗費了很長時間。”莫拉羅說幾年前關于這集就提前計劃了好幾個版本；他清楚他想把鮑伯·紐哈特塑造成原力靈魂以“給謝耳朵父親般慈愛的建議”，而且如果滾床單發生在艾米的生日或其他一年一度的日子里，謝耳朵就可以說他期望明年這個時候再來一次。

­　　A fan asked whether the writers have an endgame in mind for the show, but Molaro admitted it’s too soon to think about it. “I’m not gonna tell you. There’s been a few thoughts that have floated around, but we don’t really know how long the show’s going to go on for, so I think it’s a little early for us to be thinking about an end point.”

­　　一位粉絲問作者是否考慮過聚集的結尾，但莫拉羅說現在考慮這個為時過早。“我不打算告訴你們。 現在坊間流傳的有幾種想法，但我們也不知道這部劇能繼續做多久，因而現在考慮結尾還為時過早。”
