Twice in the episode,“Through Imperial Eyes” from Star Wars Rebels, Thrawn has to battle assassin droids and stop them with an override code. Lucasfilm confirmed that the word is “Rukh,” as in the character from the EU (Star Wars Expanded Universe and not considered as canon) who ended up assassinating Thrawn. Executive producer Dave Filoni put it in as a wink to EU fans because, well, it was the assassin droid.
Plus, Thrawn’s ship in this episode, the Chimaera, is the same name of his ship in the EU.0 -

In the TV Show Big Bang Theory two scientists have to share an apartment to be able to afford it while a waiter can live next door alone.
the waitress across the street accumulates credit card debt, has a car that is one pot hole from being completely broken, and iirc is constantly on the verge of having power and tv shut off.
while the two scientist waste, i assume hundreds to thousands a week on nerd/geek merchandise. that stuff isnt cheap and still have enough money to feed the waitress every day.
