They should have Penny become pregnant as a result of her trying to,sabotage Leonard’s donating to Zack and Mrs. Johnson (yikes! I can’t even remember her name!). That way they could of had Penny’s water break during Sheldon’s Nobel speech! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I have always thought the”lessening” of Lenny was due in a large part to Bill Prady’s stepping back. He stepped down as show runner in favor of Molaro in season 5 (?) just as Lenny was due to re-unite. I know that season 6 was fantastic for them, but how much of that was “mopping up”?To me, Prady saw a lot of himself in the Leonard character...Would love to hear other thoughts!

That is fine and is perfectly acceptable, as is any preference or opinion. I just don’t like the connotations that certain labels attach. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The terms ho, whore and slut really, really bother me. The term rake when I’ve heard it does not contain as rash a connotation as these terms used for women. Why is it that a woman who enjoys physical relations gets tagged with these very ugly names? We are well into the 21st century, however enlightenment is lagging in many areas....

It is a bit ridiculous. I know I’m a participant, but I’m of the mind that they ALL are living happily ever after! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

No one sees the “interior” of the Penny/Leonard relationship often enough. Certainly not their friends. What we see when they are alone is mutual adoration and love. When they were apart in seasons 3 & 4 and partly 5 there was a yearning on each part.Leonard’s was stifled by the Priya relationship; Penny’s by her inability to share her innermost heart with anyone, except for perhaps Leonard and well, him being the subject of her heavy heart, that wasn’t an option.

But an autistic person would do that and not even realize it was a turn off to others. They would be just be blurting what they thought or whatever came into their head without thinking of how it might come across to others. They don't understand friendship as other people do. Perhaps, but since there were denials that Sheldon was on the spectrum I have to take their word for it. I understand that a character such as Sheldon can be an inspiration for many people, but for me, because of these statements , he is still a bully. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

For me, Sheldon is/was a bully. Sure he got treated unfairly often, but the “attacks” on him were fir me never quite as venomous as what he rushed out. Demeaning other’s accomplishments and intelligence (even his future wife’s). “Slut-shaming” his best friends love and later wife (and supposedly also his good friend) and at points nearly rooting for the failure of their relationship was and remains an extreme turn-off for me.

Gorgeous! Thank you for sharing these@luminous ! (Don’t say “thank you” enough!) Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

The more time passes, the more I think they put themselves in an unworkable place with the sort of sudden announcement that 12 would be the end. They had three episodes written and there was no way they were going to trash this scripts, even though they were not all taped. A bad choice that had a major impact on the Leonard/Penny storyline. If there was going to be a 13th and maybe even a 14th season, they could have tap danced a bit until having Penny experience an epiphany and discover organically that yes, she does want to create life with her husband. With a scant 21 episodes until “fade to black”, they end up pulling the Zack nonsense out of thin air. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

A little sad over here. Things are slowing down to a drip, drip, drip of posts. On top of that, at the beginning of May I stopped receiving email notices of most posts on the Forum, leading me to visit once or twice a day instead of the "oh yay! a post by @bfm" or "maybe its a gif from @veejay". "Ahhh! @luminous is giving us something from Instagram!" when the notifications hit my inbox with extreme regularity. I miss you all. I hope I find things are well with you. I still see an episode of TBBT most days. They and you are always on my mind!

I was hoping that Johnny would get a nomination. His performances in episode 12.21 and especially 12.22 were really highlights of the season. At long last Leonard drawing a line in the sand at work, maybe not getting what he wanted, but did gain respect and a sense of his worth to CalTech with the counter-offer. Also the truce with his mom. Again Leonard standing his ground. Both of these instances with support from his wife. Again, high points of the season. Even the last several seasons.
