What the hell Neil! You trying to say my avatar isn't good enough! Not cool dude, not cool.

Oh, no! I wasn't implying that you have to change it, keep it, it doesnt bother me! I was just pointing out its the same!

Hmm... Kasey, we have the same avatar. Ay papi.

You done great with the report! Especially for the first time and I'm sure you know we all really appreciate it. Sometimes people just home in on one point and take it to extremes. I really believe this episode will be good. If you found it funny and didnt see anything offensive by it, then I'm confident most of the rest of us will too Thank you again.

I have a real feeling that this isnt what the writers were trying to tell us. The writers are writing a comedy and were trying to be funny. They set up the topless movie thing, for the tag ending and the laughs. If you want to look at it deeper, she was sharing something with Sheldon... Bonding with him while she dealt with the absence of Leonard and not having him around to talk to. I dont recall a scene where Wyatt sat down and poured out all of this stuff that Leonard didn't know. I remember one where he shouted all of this stuff at Penny, with no reaction from Leonard. Nothing in that episode said he didn't already know. You are just assuming that he didn't. As for the loser boyfriends. He met Kurt and Mike. He knew about that. This is a comedy. We arent going to see even the half of the things that Leonard knows about Penny and vice versa. And i wouldn't want to watch the show if it was like that. Yes, every now and again she shares something with Sheldon, that doesnt mean she values him more than Leonard. Its more than likely just easier to ask or tell him this stuff, because its Sheldon. He couldn't really care less about whatever she had to say anyway.

No, some of you are overreacting. Overreacting and passion are two different things. I'm not overreacting about a scene i havent even seen aired yet, so does that mean im not as passionate about this show as you are? And this, i was going to come on here and say something like this. You beat me to it. So, ill just say yes to this! And add maybe that this movie that she was topless in, wasnt a sleazy movie. She was in the shower, apparently for some slasher type film that just didn't make it to air. It's not like she done some porno, Leonard found it and decided to show it to everyone. He's showing off his hot girlfriend with a scene from the only movie Penny ever did and she just happens to be in the shower. I have faith in the writers that in the scene he is showing there is nothing explicit. That would be wrong, otherwise, i dont see the big problem.

Well thats good, considering it WAS for YOU!

Eeekkk! Words cant describe how happy i was when i saw this up here! Anyone who does decide to read this, and i recommend that you DO! Be prepared for some sausage, hot dog, salty-but-sexy fun times.

Oh come on! Penny's topless thing is hardly sleazy! It has been said that it's a shower scene and part of some slasher movie. Just cos she's topless in it, doesnt mean she's going full frontal! I will admit the whole topless thing did kinda bother me at first, not so much Penny doing it, but Leonard showing it off. But when you think of it as just a scene in a movie where shes showering and probably not showing anything explicitly, i don't see the problem with Leonard showing it. It's just Leonard's way. He's always bragged about Penny being his girlfriend and i sort of expected that sort of thing to be shown. I didn't expect it as a topless movie scene, but still. How do you know that's not what happened? They could have simply googled her and came across the movie. I dont recall anywhere saying how it was found. I'm glad they didn't go with the sad lonely Leonard. I like seeing Leonard happy and enjoying himself, he deserves it. Keep all that deep emotional stuff for fanfiction! haha.

Welcome to the board my lovely Waitress! Woo!

Chapter two guys! http://www.fanfiction.net/s/9610933/2/

Okay can I just point out the biggest travesty of the day! You spelled my name wrong when it is written in my username! What the heck dude! I think you should go sit in the corner and hide! Smh. I am glad some of you agree though. This whole thing probably won't turn out even half as bad as you are all imagining so lets take a moment and just... Chill.

Um, okay. I wasn't going to do this but im just gonna throw it out real quick before i go off to bed. I dont think this is all that bad. PLEASE DONT SHOOT ME! The only thing in it that maybe bothers me a little is the whole topless Penny thing. im not totally surprised Leonard found it and to be honest i can imagine it was probably Howard that helped him find it. ha! Also its not totally OOC for Leonard to show it. Remember he took that picture for comic con? an extreme version of the same thing. Plus we dont know what he actually showed them. It could just have been the part right before she was topless or right after! i doubt he would go about showing his girlfriends boobs off to everyone! And i can only hope he actually didn't. We will only really know when it airs. Okay and the Shenny stuff doesnt bother me either. Let them have their hug, they miss their friend/ boyfriend. I get that maybe its a little annoying since he wont willingly hug Amy but whos to say he was happy with hugging Penny? She could have and probably did pull him in for it and he stood still hating it like he does with Amy. I cant see him all of a sudden pulling her in for a massive cuddle with a huge smile on his face thinking it was great. and i really dont think anything is going to come of it. Except maybe in some fanfiction. That shit is going to go crazy with this, but in the actual show nothing will happen. They are showing Penny missing Leonard, thats a good thing! and the sides for the next episode say Penny is back spending time with Leonard and forgetting about Sheldon so all that hugging and bonding probably wont come about again. *hides in corner while everyone tears up my positive post*

Thats exactly what it was. It was so sad. buts its okay, its all over and if tptb are as clever as i think they are they wont do that to us again! haha

Yes! This! This is what i was trying to say, but you have just said it so much better! Thank you!

But isnt that basically what happened in season 6? The whole season it was about Penny realizing how to act in a real relationship. She admitted in the beginning that she expected Leonard to do all of this stuff for her and when she realized that wasn't the way it worked she changed it. She went to his work and took more of an interest in him, what he does and what he loves. She even let him move in, because she was scared to say no and risk him getting upset and leaving her, even when she wasnt ready for it. In season 6, Penny put a lot more into the relationship than Leonard did, because she was the one that had to. Thats been done. i dont see why it always has to be Pennys fighting for Leonard's affections. In my opinion they are now on equal ground and id like to see more of that in season 7. They both know they are in it for the long haul and they are taking their time before they look to moving in and getting married. Leonard is letting Penny find her way through her commitment fears but apart from that they are both at the same place. Like i said, i dont see why she has to continue to prove herself.

The thing is she never actually said she was leaving him. She never announced to the bowling alley that she was leaving him, all she said was that it wasn't fair to him and she was sorry. Leonard was the one that said, 'i'm pretty sure it's already over'. All Penny was doig was freaking out after being put, as she saw it, on the spot. We all know Penny doesnt exactly think things through so when she felt like Leonard was pressuring her in the bowling alley after them agreeing to move on past it, she freaked. She didn't intend on breaking up with him, none of it was planned it just happened. Yes, Penny does have control of the pace of the relationship, because she is the one that needs it. Leonard has told her he is ready and waiting, its her that has to get past her issues before she takes the next step in their relationship, not him, so shes the one that has to be in control of it right now. She thought of breaking up with him and then decided to sleep with him instead, because she knew deep down she didn't want to leave him. I'm pretty sure i went into more detail at some point about her whole issue with the relationship being boring as her reason for wanting to break up with him so im not going into it again. And she didn't sleep with him after he proposed probably because she was unsure of the relationship and yes maybe it was a little selfish of her, but once again, its her who has these major issues and its her that had to get over them, and she did. Because Leonard let her have that time that he didn't back when they first went out and caused her to break up with him.

I dont think Sheldon has ever taken any of Leonard's dignity away. Leonard has stayed with Sheldon for a reason, he doesn't stay because Sheldon bullies him or forces him in any way to stick around. He stays because he WANTS to. Nothing, even the roommate agreement, keeps him there. I believe the only reason he stays is because he actually cares about Sheldon, and likes him. Sure he gets pissed off with him sometimes and all the little quirks he has but there has been plenty of scenes where they get along together and enjoy one anothers company. Like when they play three way chess or 3d chess and discuss each other 'old ladies', there have been scenes that show the two of them just being friendly with each other. I'm not trying to say Leonard doesnt put up with alot, all im saying is he does it of his own accord, he isnt bullied into it. Leonard is a lot more headstrong than i think, at times, you give him credit for. He cares about Sheldon and he knows there probably arent that many people in this world, besides Amy now, that would actually put up with him. So yeah, thats my two cents on that.

I think you've just summed up how we are all feeling! I dont think anyone has heard anything. We may have to wait until next week when one of the regulars is attending... Sucks, but, we have waited this long, im sure we can hold off for another week! haha

He has been quieter when they kiss and she went to college so that they have more fun things to talk about. She didn't stop wearing her heels though (BAD PENNY!) and he hasn't fixed his eyebrows. I watched The Wheaton Recurrance last night for the first time in a long time and OMG it was so sad. I know a few of you seem to think Penny was way out of line during that episode but i really felt for her. The part where Leonard says 'fine i'll shut up' and she turns to him with tears in her eyes because thats not what she meant, she just wants him to back off her a little, was sooo sad. That was one of Leonards main problems in Leonard and Penny 1.0, he would push her about things when he should have lay off and let her breathe. We seen that when she finally told him she loved him, he knew her well enough not to chase her down and make her explain how she felt or get her to say it again. There was also the part in the laundry room, where Penny comes to see him to make sure everything is okay and he sort of sweeps it under the rug because you can just tell he knew it was going to end badly for the two of them when they talked about it. I really felt for him in that part, so true to Leonard to just pretend everything is okay when its not. That has also been fixed. He's not so worried about her breaking up with him and would rather talk through things to make it better than just leave it. The Valentines Day ep is a perfect example of that and so is Egg Salad to a certain point. He went to talk to her about their problems, she never came to him. I think the whole commitment thing might be looked at a little this season, and i hope it is. Look to Tensors fanfiction and you will see there what i would love to happen! (Hello Kitty promise ring band aids EEK!)
