That's because @luminous is going chronologically. And the Catalina idea was brought up in season 11.

Awesome moment and awesome episode!

They look so happy ❤️

I think it's more about what's not being done than what's being done. At least it is this way for me. In the second half of season 10 it was also about what was being done. It's not for naught that that was the time the Dark Lenny thread was started.

They throw in like two toys and a packet of fresh ones and think it looks like kids live there LOL The laziness...

I would like to see Leonard with a beard but I prefer Johnny with a shorter full beard. It was part of Leonard's daydream.

That was a fanfic I guess because it wasn't on the show but nice idea. I don't know if she dated somebody other than Zack when she wasn't with Leonard. We didn't see anyone and didn't hear Sheldon bitching about anyone. I wish there was a scene that showed that Penny did keep his inhaler, not just in Leonard's dream.

I'm watching the episode right now. When Penny talks to that guy Leonard says she's going out of her way to talk to the guy because he (Leonard) said it wasn't a date. She denies it, but I think that's the writers' explanation. As I said:

With the exception of season 3 She missed him too much, apparently.

1) News flash: couples fight. Friends, work, family, sex...These are the things that make up their lives, so yes they fight about them. 2) A sitcom character does that. But why would this mean their "broken" or "strained"? 3) While definitely not a great move, that has nothing to do with Leonard. She does that to flirt with doctors in order to make sales, she would have done this no matter the state of her marriage. 4) There were fights in previous seasons but most of them weren't as stupid as the (second half of) season 10 fights, these were thankfully dropped in season 11. Again , couples fight, and in a sitcom fights may be overemphasized and exaggerated, this is not a documentary. 5) See above. By the way, Howard and Bernadette fight too, does this mean they're also "strained" and "broken"? Shamy may fight less but with Sheldon being part of that relationship they had to go through a long journey until their relationship became more mutual and affectionate.

AND Leonard was flirting with another woman! I don't think she expected that. I think this could be the reason she didn't get back together with him that day, she could have "testing the waters" but didn't get too much of what she's been looking for, maybe him treating it as a date and expressing strong desire to get back with her, and she even saw he was able to flirt with a woman at the bar (ETA: and he also hurt her when things escalated and they started bashing each other, so it wasn't the right mood for getting back together). So she remained hesitant and didn't take a further step. Penny may seem all confident and say she's a "big ol' five" but there have been many times where she watched her steps and way subtle and hesitant with Leonard. In the first season it was clear she's attracted to him, and she used his birthday as an excuse to kiss him, but she didn't intiate anything, nothing happened until he explicitly asked her out, and then she considered it thoroughly. In the second season when she asked why her dating Dave Underhil bothered him it seemed like she wanted him to say he wants to try again. Then in the finale she's having a hard time with him ging away but doesn't say it, instead she does these subtle gestures. Only in season 3 does she initiate. Later when they're broken up she wants him back but keeps it to herself, thinking he had found a better partner in Priya. Then she asks him on this "not a date" some time after he's broken up with Priya, and as I said this could be her "testing the waters". Again it is when he explicitly asks her on a date that they get back together.

Maybe when he behaved the way he did, trying to make it clear it wasn't a date and he wasn't expecing it to be a date, she decided she would show him she also doesn't consider it a date, kind of an "If that's how you want it...".

I think Sue is supposed to be this intense. I heard a rumor they were thinking of making a Sue spin-off.

I can't see her stories, what was the context?

Yes! Great moment!
