Our Longclaw Sword on The Big Bang Theory CBS Oct 13th

by

This is pretty sweet. The Big Bang Theory is a very popular comedy on CBS, millions and millions of viewers, one of the top shows on TV. Also critically acclaimed, if you watched Peter Dinklage win his Game of Thrones Emmy for Best Supporting Actor you saw the actor who plays Sheldon in this show win Best Actor (in a Comedy) as well.

Anyways… so we find out today that they’re using Longclaw as a prop in this week’s episode. We didn’t send this sword to them (knowingly) so we just found out today through a fan’s tip. I have no idea if they will mention the sword’s name, or where it is from, or where to buy it, but the exposure alone is amazing. Can you imagine what product placement would typically cost in a show like that? And it looks like they’re going to be spending time on this sword, it isn’t merely a cereal box sitting on the counter. So we’re really excited.

Also, this hasn’t been covered anywhere so I’d mention it here. On last weeks Grey’s Anatomy on ABC they mentioned A Song of Ice and Fire. Specifically one of the doctors was compared to a certain Dothraki princess. This was a bit of a pop culture episode, there was a stampede at a comic convention, so they had other references, such as Lord of the Rings, and Star Wars. That was pretty much it. A Song of Ice and Fire (not, Game of Thrones, they used the book series title). Star Wars, and LOTR. Pretty good company to keep. Westeros is everywhere. Now I’m waiting for Community on NBC to do a themed episode.

Anyways, here are the pictures from the Big Bang Theory:

    Cool news! I hope one day VS decides to produce an Oathkeeper sword, too! I would totally shell out the money for that.

  10. MikeyB on October 10, 2011 at 1:56 pm said:

    Incredible! I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw the pics… Big Bang is one of my favorite shows and the fact that Longclaw is going to be in an episode is so exciting! I’m pumped!!! Which version is Sheldon holding, stainless or damascus version?

    I love The Big Bang Theory and ASOIAF, so this is awesome!!! Can’t wait for the show this Thursday!!! More GoT exposure is always better!

  15. La Rochelle on October 13, 2011 at 3:56 am said:

    ahaha!!! OMG! Ser Sheldon of House Cooper .. sweet!:D

  16. Joe on October 14, 2011 at 8:24 am said:

    Hi must have missed the contact info bit so i’ll just comment here… I’ve noticed that on my Longclaw certficate that there is a possible grammar mistake the extract reads “Passed from father to son, the the hand and a half sword” Is there meant to be two the words? If not can i get another certificate?

  17. valyrian on October 14, 2011 at 8:59 am said:

    All the certs have the same typo. Its funny, we read it, the artist read it, GRRM read it, and no one noticed. Things happen.

  18. MikeyB on October 14, 2011 at 10:01 am said:

    Great episode last night! Longclaw was visible during the entire opening sequence. Even though they didn’t mention the name of the sword they did mention where the sword was from which was pretty cool. Awesome that they chose it as the first sword to start their collection! Haha! I was kind of hoping Sheldon would recite the vows of the Nights Watch!!! “Night gathers, and now my watch begins….

  19. John on October 14, 2011 at 6:05 pm said:

    Its says 8000 copies of the sword on BBT when there is really 2500…it would have made more sense to get their facts right! better for the sword to.

  20. valyrian on October 14, 2011 at 6:21 pm said:

    The writers probably thought 8000 would be funnier.

  21. JPL on October 15, 2011 at 5:34 pm said:

    You should know that the producer @Billprady of the show just tweeted:
    #gameofthrones sword bought in last #bigbangtheory episode will become permanent set dressing.

  23. Jeff on October 17, 2011 at 1:21 pm said:

    I wish I could get the sword for $200 like they did, that is a definite steal! I also thought it odd they said it was a replica of a sword on the show…

  24. Pablo on October 19, 2011 at 6:19 am said:

    They really did get a friends and family discount :P

  25. Joe kresnyak on October 19, 2011 at 7:51 am said:

    I received ice this summer and I love it! The only issue I have guys is that it did not come with any certificates of authenticity. Can you look into this? Can it be re issued? I just ordered the rest of the pieces you have in production and I am hoping this issue doesnt occur again. Thank you.

  26. MikeyB on October 19, 2011 at 12:39 pm said:

    you’re right though, it’s not a replica of Longclaw from the show. I actually prefer Valyrian Steel’s Longclaw over the one used on A Game of Thrones… Sadly, I cannot say I feel the same way about Valyrian’s Ice or Needle :( Sorry guys, no disrespect intended… Just personal taste. On the other hand, Robert’s warhammer looks killer!!!

  27. Michael on October 20, 2011 at 9:44 pm said:

    I saw tonights epidsode of Big Bang, they had Longclaw hanging on the wall near the front door. So it looks like it will be a regular prop

  28. MikeyB on October 21, 2011 at 8:09 am said:

    What great placement too! Seeing as the cast is always either going or coming from that general direction of the apartment. I think I saw it 3 or 4 times in last nights episode. One shot was a close up of Sheldon and the details of Longclaw were highly visible… enough so that you could read “Winter is Coming” on the plaque! Very cool!

  29. Lisa R on October 23, 2011 at 10:35 pm said:

    Funny, I was just clicking my remote, I happened to stop on BBT I saw the Sword on the wall, then i saw “Winter is Coming” above it… My jaw dropped! I guess I will have to watch that episode from the beginning!

  30. Peter Regan on October 24, 2011 at 2:03 pm said:

    What is the Greys Anatomy reference. FRINGE beat out Greys when the time slots clashed so m’lady and I haven’t seen it. What is the ASOIAF reference???

  31. Kaupo Toom on October 29, 2011 at 12:28 am said:

    LongClaw is a permanent prop. Very cool. It gets pretty good screen time since it is situated to the right of BBT guys apartment front door and there are lots of scenes with people coming/going through that door.

  32. Will on October 31, 2011 at 6:38 pm said:

    too bad that longclaw on big bang and for sale doesnt look like the one in the show game of thrones, compare and you’ll see, that’s the only reason why i havent placed an order

  33. mimir on November 9, 2011 at 12:24 am said:

    Because Longclaw in the HBO show is based on nothing and this one is based on GRRM’s description.

  34. anjelica on October 17, 2012 at 9:34 am said:

    Hey! I just want to update this that in last week’s episode, I noticed that the sword is still hanging on the guys’ apartment wall. You can see it here: http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mc1miyM5xK1qarbljo1_1280.png

  35. Missy Elley on February 7, 2013 at 8:31 pm said:

    Feb. 7th. Still on the wall! Lol.

  36. Sharia G. on August 21, 2013 at 6:58 pm said:

    The also have a “Winter is Coming” Sword hanging in Leonard and Sheldon’s apartment

  37. Caitlin on March 20, 2014 at 1:19 pm said:

    Did anyone else find it annoying that in the greys reference, the man dressed as an elf compared April Kepnar to “a dothraki princess” and that seeing as she has long RED hair, according the TSOIAF and the tv version Game of Thrones’ portrayal of the Dothraki, the dothraki people are dark skinned with long dark hair, and even if he is referring to deanerys as the dothraki I princess, she has milk skin and silver white hair. So how is April anything like a dothraki princess?!
