Was Jessie L. Martin injured before the season started shooting? Did he break his leg? I only ask, because in every scene he is seated. When he does "walk" upstairs, there is a quick cutaway from him, then what looks like a body-double walking up the stairs far in the background.
This is a common trick to deal with actors that have sustained injuries off-set. The Big Bang's Kaley Cuoco did this when she broke her leg horse riding. The producers had her seated (usually with her legs under a blanket) or propped up behind the bar at the restaurant.
