Happy Canada Day! 🍁

Love the Beatles, definitely want to check it out. Happy Canada Day to my fellow Canuckistanians.

79% for me...

@joyceraye extra points for " flibbertigibbet" 🙃

I think they could have used that story line as the catalyst for Penny changing her mind about having kids and be the real motive behind her attempted seduction of Leonard.

Haven't said much yet, just enjoying all the reactions and spreading likes. Just want to say that I thought the finale was great, which was a little surprising considering the less than perfect season. I was especially happy with the Lenny pregnancy. When this forum finally winds down, I will very much miss interacting with my fellow TBBT fans as much as I will miss tuning in to the show week after week. It's been a fun and at times frustrating ride and I wouldn't change it for the world. I found support here through both the Lenny breakup, and my own battle with cancer (closing in on two years cancer free for those who were aware 🙂) and for that last, I am most thankful. That was pretty wordy for me, lol, but this is not good-bye. I plan on sojourning here for at least a little while longer.

Very happy with this

The description of the last episode that Tripper posted contains an interesting tidbit; Leonard and Penny trying to keep a secrect...let the speculation commence lol!

Hmmm, that's interesting...

Yes, RIP Peter Mayhew 😞

I would have to re-watch, but I don't think Penny didn't read the book because she couldn't understand it, but because she found it boring. Not the same thing.

I don't know...haven't been in a writing (or reading) mood for quite some time. More to do with life in general, not for any disappointment with Lenny. Not even sure if I would remember my login details at the website...

I'm blushing over here! 😊

Excellent!

Ah. I'll have to look into that. I like Melissa, too.

Not to be pedantic, but isn't it Kaley doing Harley Quinn?

Hmm...all this talk about how shows ended, no mention of Newhart. Bob waking up beside Suzanne Pleshette (who played his wife in the original Bob Newhart Show) and telling her about the wacky dream he had about running an inn in Vermont, certainly ranks as one of the best endings ever.

Darwin is arguably more important than Lincoln...yeah I said it, come at me!

Does it come in a man's tee? I so need this!

But I'm not talking about other shows, just this one. And, except for a couple bits of OOC writing like the glue gun, I've never felt that Penny was an airhead. Zack, for example, is a real airhead.

And others do not. Leonard and Penny ending up together was telegraphed from early on in the series.

I found the episode to be very funny, particularly the Lenny interplay. As well, I think Shamy were very good in the supporting role, instead of being front and centre for a change. The other plot was pretty much a throw-away to give the other characters screen time, but it wasn't without its charms. Focusing on one major and one minor plot I felt was a refreshing change from trying to cram too much into the usual run time.

In total agreement with you. You can really feel the Lenny love for each other.

Ditto! And I, for one, am glad to see your positive posts here, and in the Lenny thread, daily.

The fact remains, Mandy and the boat kiss didn't even exist until the writers retconned it to add unnecessary drama to the season finally, so yeah, it is on them.
