hamerman55 Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Considering how Sheldon has been in the last couple of episodes, it is time for something to happen. With both of Howard/Bernie and Sheldon/Amy plots, they've been a bit hot and cold. One episode they are having a hard time, then they have a good one. At least Howard gets that he messes up, Sheldon not only doesn't make mistakes, but any problem is solely Amy's fault. With Penny and Leonard, it is high time to meet some family. A Thanksgiving trip to Nebraska or New Jersey is due. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BangerMain Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 (edited) On Leonard's side, i would prefer the trip to Nebraska :D Amen. In Nebraska, Leonard is a minor god to Penny's folks, while in New Jersey he is "The Disappointing Child" or "Needy Baby, Greedy Baby" and Penny is his "Good Natured Simpleton" sex partner.

BangerMain Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 As I don't see where we have any spoilers past the next episode, it will be interesting to see the big plot twists to hook us over the holiday break. The ground is pretty fertile, but likely Penny and Leonard will be spectators this time around. It looks very likely that the Shamy are going to be the one's in the relationship drama spotlight. TPTB have been setting this up all this season with Amy's dissatifaction with Sheldon lack of progress and how in Ep1 and EP3 she has fun with other type of men (oddly enongh, Howard-like).

You nailed it. I still don't know why Leonard always tried to be nice to his mother. If i would have a mother like this, i would just ignore and leave her alone. For example the drive to the airport. He takes her to the airport and gets not even a little credit. I hope for some kind of "revenge-episode" later this season... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terriblewaitress Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Leonard just wants his mom to see something good in him I don't think that's going to change. I think how they're doing the relationship this season is working, with small things like cuddling and then bigger things like Penny and her Leonard box thrown in - it's not too much but it's not too little, and keeps us hoping for more Thanksgiving will be interesting! Burnt & frozen turkey anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burnt & frozen turkey anyone? Agreed. I'm wondering what Penny is planning on Valentine's Day this year, after she screwed up the last one. Really looking forward to that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3ku11 Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 I think people give Beverley a hard time based on how she raised him, I dont think she is a bad person kinda like Sheldon is has always been very emotionally stunted. Not that this is an excuse for the way she treats Leonard, because its not but at the very at least, it can give you an insight into the reasons why Beverley has always been so emotionally distant, just ask Leonards father. Imagine Sheldon as Leonards father, thats what it is like Beverley being his mother. Although she has shown so sign of any physical proof that she cares and loves Leonard, I just think its hard for her maybe it was the way her Mother raised her. intelligence and education was the biggest aspect of human nature to her, and well always come first before human emotion and relationships, its just the way she is built. Shes not stupid shes aware of Leonards issues with the way she raised him, she even acknowledged it in S3, "Leonard I am not in the mood right now for your need for approval". Being a psychologist she approaches everything in life from a clinical perspective, so I think sub-conciousley she feels everyone has a story, so her approach to her relationship with Leonard has always been so clinical opposed to emotional, I just dont think she has ever considered the idea that all Leonard wanted was affection, in her eyes Leonard is the dissapointing child compared to his other successfull brothers, so maybe clinically deep down Beverley doesent give Leonard affection, because from her vantage she feels he doesent deserve it. But obviousley Leonard has turned out amazingly well, and is very succesfull in his field, the last time we saw Beverley though their was no mention of his expedition, I am not even sure she knew. But if she did it may impress her, and it may reinforce the idea that approval and love is not something you need to work for, or an obligation it is something that should come from genuine emotion. Its kinda the same way why Penny dated guys who were a particular type, sub-conciousley either trying to create an alternate reality, or trying to please her father who always refered to her as his little "slugger". Beverly has her advantages though has horrible as she can be at times, I feel advice like "Buckle up", was good advice actually and went a long way it bringing out Leonards assertive side, he grew up thinking love and approval had to be earnt, but meeting Penny who is basically the complete opposite of his mother, warm and affectionate slowly deconstucted his entire philosphy on human construct. Its one of the reasons why Leonard and Penny are perfect for each other, I am not excusing Beverley's actions, but shes wasent a horrible mother for no reason at all.

Nighthawks Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 With kaleys current situation with Ryan on getting married and wanting to have babies. And from going that we are too busy right now to plan the wedding to now planning it seems for ASAP (tomorrow). I would think that the L/P relationship may be taking a back seat for awhile. It has to have some effect on the other cast members as we'll and not just Leonard (johnny) Kaley being in the news so much lately has got to have the writers going a little crazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean Kaley and Johnny have dated other people for like 2 years now, in S3 they were dating other people and had no effect on their relationship on the show, so I dont see how Kaleys personal life has anything to do with the her character or the writing in the show.

He has also pointed out that the writers are prohibited from reading it. For Legal reasons, I would suspect. The above was in reply to a tweet asking him why certain fan fiction things happened on the show. He pointed out that some ideas are quite obvious and can be thought of by different authors. I can see that as I've read stories that have ideas that are very similar to ideas I've had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be interesting for you to see,Tensor, how close a certain story you write will find that it share points with future events in the series.

Nogravitasatall Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 She isn't going to change too. Why does he not see that? it doesnt matter how screwed up one's parent is, they are still your parent and you hope for the best. Even if it never comes good, one would always hope. If you watch Justified its a good fictional depiction of not the happy ending, that is probably closer to reality. But still one hopes .Until they die, unchanged and unapologetic. Poor Leonard.

terriblewaitress Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Also notice that her Cheesecake Factory uniform is different. I believe that's the bartenders uniform personal life has anything to do with the her character or the writing in the show. True dat. It's only with something physically unignorable that a writing team would have to take these sorts of things into consideration whilst writing i.e. when she broke her leg. You always work around it rather than directly letting it affect the character. I think they're been giving Leonard & Penny some awesome stuff so far.

I'm not sure about the uniform and maybe someone else has pointed this out but another picture has Amy and Bernadette at the bar. Amy met Lucy so that's how Penny would know Lucy. She could be pretending to be working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terriblewaitress Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 We see her wear that shirt when she's serving the bar, my guess is they see Lucy and Penny leaves the bar to chat to Lucy (so Amy helps herself to the tap) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
