Sorta like how they tossed an unrealistic bone to the fan base that was waiting for a Nobel?

It's been a while not entering the forum! Seeing this super late but I wanted to say thanks ♥️

Just pointing out, by their interviews, the writers actually planned for Penny to be pregnant at the finale all along, it wasn't just a bone thrown to fans. In fact, according to Holland, it was this tat made them decide to "write against it", i.e. 12X03. I won't go into my opinion about that strategy, but I wanted to point out the facts as revealed by TPTB.

YES! Exactly! Although I was not waiting for a Nobel personally. I really thought they were going to get nominated but not win, and that was what was going to make Sheldon appreciate his friends finally. (Because they would still support him even if he didn't have a Nobel.) I'm glad he finally appreciated his friends, but I still would have liked my way better. It would have made more sense to me. And that is okay. Sometimes we have agreed, and sometimes we have not, but I've always enjoyed your posts. THAT is what really matters. No one here ever said anyone had to like every single thing about the show to be a fan. That's what irritated me on a few other boards. If you were at all critical of anything they did, anything at all, some of the people on there were always like, "Well, why do you watch the show then? Why don't you go away?" I didn't stop watching because there was always more to like than I disliked and I still wanted to see what happened next.

Happy Father‘s Day to all my dear Lenny friends. ❤️

I like The ending in that life just went on for the group. The pregnancy was great and necessary albeit kind of thrown in as a bone to fans. I liked seeing the Wolowitz kids. I was never a fan of the Nobel storyline or its domination of the final season, given that, they handled the finale well enough. Less Sheldon was never going to happen so all in all the finale was pretty good.

Just a shout out to see how you all are! I hope all is going well. I miss not hearing from you and our interactions! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

For me the ending was fine. It's the season leading up to it that left something to be desired. I never cared if there was Lenny pregnant story line or of it was just a reveal in finale or even a flash forward. It just makes so much of the actual Lenny story for s12 a complete an utter waste. Whatever the motivation, it just rang false and just reinforced my belief that to some extent that s12 was being phoned in by TPTB. That's my problem with it all....

Love this moment so much.❤️ Love their conversation. ❤️ "Do you wanna?"

Happy 64th Birthday to Laurie Metcalf

An interview Johnny did when he was in France

Absolutely! Johnny truly delivered an Emmy-worthy performance in episode 12x22.

Yeah, instead of 1203 showing Penny didn’t want kid, they had her tell Leonard she was pregnant. She would have been due in May, and they could have spent the season with a story here and there about her pregnancy. The caveat, to that would be that Leonard and Penny wouldn’t have been able to make the trip to Sweden.

From variety.com Jim Parsons on Coming Out and Life After ‘The Big Bang Theory’

True If they knew season 12 was to be the last they should have come up with more compelling and deeper storylines. Not just for Lenny but all the characters. Even Raj who was more a fill-in character than an actual primary one. To end his story without any real conclusion was just tragic. And yes, there was way too much of the Shamy/Nobel storyline.

If you remember correctly, it was me all along who had expected just that...well, because I think I'm smart and ...maybe. 🙂 Hey…! 😁

I'm checking in every day! Hope all you guys have a Happy Father's Day!❤️❤️

From Gold Derby's You Tube Channel... 'The Big Bang Theory' director Mark Cendrowski, writer Steve Holland chat with Gold Derby's Zach Laws about delivering an 'emotional' series finale.

From TV Line Emmys 2019: Lead Actor in a Comedy Series — Our 6 Dream Nominees! JIM PARSONS, THE BIG BANG THEORY WHY HE DESERVES A NOD: He stuck the landing, that’s why. In the CBS sitcom’s 12th and final season, Parsons not only made Sheldon Cooper the insufferable, infuriating, idiosyncratic brainiac that we’d long known and loved, he opened the heart of his emotionally obtuse alter ego wider than ever before. And, as the Nobel Prize winner expressed his affection for his friends with a genuineness that felt at once unprecedented and entirely in character, another victory for his portrayer seemed ever more assured. <slideshow in the link>

The full series is listed at $200, for Blue Ray, but you can get the first 11 seasons for $69 and the final for $37. So, unless they have quite a few extras, that haven't been released before, I'm not sure the full boxed set would be worth it.

I don't think the idea or concept from the writers behalf was bad. Just their overall execution was really off. Pennys pregnancy despite being planned, was really fan service. But hey I prefer that ending, then say Leonard Dream Sequence ending.

The article can be found here.

Don't know if anyone else has seen the brief video of Johnny and Kaley hugging each other after their last scene together for the finale. They were both teary-eyed after the embrace and I can imagine what was said between them. Something like "will miss you and keep in touch" And I am sure they will. Also, there is a fine article dated May 15, 2019 called "Friendship Goals" about how they bonded after their break-up and how their friendship became stronger proving true friendship can overcome even the worst heartbreak.

Really nice photo.

Yes miss you all Hope all is well with everyone Keep the faith

We can only hope.

Yes, penny giving birth followed by her and Leonard watching the Nobel prize ceremony on the internet and Skyping with everyone would have made a lovely finale storyline. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
