While not The Big Bang Theory spoilers we were hoping for, Simon Helberg (Wolowitz) discusses the upcoming third season in Ausiello's latest column on EW.

According to the star, "We are still on summer vacation -- we go back August 5 -- and I have not seen the first script.  I just saw Jim ["Sheldon" Parsons], and he certainly did let on that he knew something. I just assume they will pick up right where we left off in terms of the North Pole… Maybe we needed to eat Sheldon to survive."

All joking aside, what would the lanky star like to see this season?  "It'd be interesting to see [Wolowitz] try to move out [of his mother's basement]. I would also like him to meet his father, and I would like his father to be Ringo Starr.  How cool would it be if Wolowitz is the son of a Beatle?"

In much more demanding requests, Helberg wishes, "I would actually like pants I can breathe in and an operational fly so I don't have to pull down my pants to my ankles every time I need to pee."
