Also did anyone else see the episode of the Big Bang theory relating to Howard's letter from his father? It was so umineko themed. To summarise:

- Howard's father abandoned his family when Howard was a child
- He sent a letter to Howard on his 18th birthday, Howard decided not to read it as his father didn't deserve understanding
- YEARS later, one of his friend's accidentally finds and reads it
- Howard, still sure he doesn't want to know what is in it, burns the letter
- All of his friends soon learn what was in the letter by asking the one who read it
- Howard is torn between wanting to know what it could have said, and sticking to his resolution that he never needed to know. Especially since his friends all know. He also worries about what it might actually have said.
- His friends decide they can't tell him outright as he doesn't want to know, but can't keep him in the dark because it is weighing so heavily on him. So all six offer him a possible account of what had been in the letter, but do not let him know which is true.
