People can have opinions about whoever they want, there isn't a rule that says one ship can't like the other as well you know I given my opinions in the past (mostly last season) on the Shamy thread and it was suggested by someone on there I should be banned.

garnetngold Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 The first thing that attracted me to this show was the science, but then I fell in love with the Lenny relationship. To me, it is extremely real. Whereas, I love Shamy because of its innocence and just the fact that it is different from anything I have ever seen, Lenny is a relationship in a form that so many of us are in, or have been in. Basing it off of real life, to me, it seems like Penny's committment issues are less to do with her feelings towards Leonard, and more to do with her own self-doubt. She is in such a raw, vulnerable state right now, where she sees herself as a failure, and that sort of mindset makes it impossible to give yourself 100% to someone else. The old saying is that you should love yourself first. The way I see it, she completely loves Leonard, but because she is questioning herself at the moment, she has a hard time believing that Leonard truly thinks she can make it in acting (even though he does). Which is pretty painful for her to hear right after she quit waitressing. On the other hand, I think that Leonard truly believes in Penny's acting abilities, and wants to see her succeed. But, he loves her so much that he does not want to see her get hurt. He knows how sensitive she is, and knows how difficult it is (and how long it may take) to make it big in acting. It is almost like he knows she is good enough, but because of how the industry works, he is scared that she will be turned down one too many times and it will burn her out, before she ever makes it big (even though he believes that, given patience, she will succeed one day). We see in the spoilers for next week that Leonard is not accustomed to taking risks, so he may be projecting his own insecurities on her. He wants to spare her feelings, but needs to articulate this to Penny better. Penny may or may not see this, but I hope TPTB give them some good episodes to address their miscommunications. Lenny is such a sweet couple and I think they are going through the inevitable, albeit difficult times that every relationship passes through, and I just hope that love wins out!

phantagrae Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 (edited) I don't think that Leonard and Penny have to move in together this season--and I don't think that postponing their moving in together constitutes their relationship moving at a snail's pace. Because the show doesn't want to get to anyone's finish line too soon (and they each have their own finish lines), they're going to put off any big, show-altering changes as long as they can. That's why Leonard and Penny aren't living together or married. Frankly, I see them getting engaged before they get around to moving in together simply because of the show logistics. Penny could easily go ahead and propose to Leonard, but say that she doesn't want to set a date until her career is on track or something like that. That way, they get one relationship hurdle out of the way, without having to make any major changes to the show. I think that Sheldon asking those questions about where they're all going to live is the show's way of answering the fans, just like Spoiler Alert kind of answered the question about L/P and S/A living together--the writers came out and told the audience that Penny wasn't ready for Leonard to move in--not because she didn't love him, but just that it was too much--and Sheldon wasn't ready to live with Amy--again, too much too soon. And now it seems that they're answering the question again--if L/P were to get married, what would the living arrangement be and how would that affect Sheldon? It's not that Sheldon's life is tied up in their relationship (though it is) as much as it's about the show's set-up. At any rate, none of this changes the fact that Leonard and Penny are together. Just because they don't live together yet doesn't mean there's anything wrong with their relationship. I think that having Penny quit her CCF job is going to be about her career and what she does to get by more than it's going to be about whether or not they're ready to move in together. So, in that regard, I think that the idea of them living together will be put on the back burner in favor of the travails of her career aspirations. And, also, it probably isn't going to be on the front burner of every episode--as we have already seen in the two latest taping reports. They don't have to talk about it in every episode in order for it to be ongoing in the background, just like we don't need to have relationship episodes every week. This next episode is a great example--life goes on and nobody's relationship is really being "worked on". The focus is on the guys trying to get to Comic Con, etc., and the girls' little subplot, and Penny's career issues are not discussed at this point. Like I said, I'm sure they'll hit on it in upcoming episodes, but I don't think it's going to be dealt with and over with in just a few weeks. Since we presumably have 3 more seasons to go and this one is only half over, they may take their time moving anyone in together or Penny's acting job issues. While the Lenny doesn't move at the same slow pace as the Shamy does, I don't think that the writers are in any hurry to reach any major goal posts, either.

Tensor Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 And if my post was deleted for calling someone an idiot...the same should go for the others for calling others selfish and pathetic for wanting something out of fictional characters...If it was deleted, it was probably reported to and deleted by Tripper, because he didn't like the idea of someone calling someone else names. If he did delete it, then this one probably will also be deleted, for the same reason. If you don't like a post, report it, don't turn around and do the same thing.

Disagreeing with someone's posts or point of view or whatever is very different from calling someone an idiot. You can say someone's point is idiotic without calling that person an idiot. I daresay you wouldn't want to be called an idiot--that's called bashing. And how is it selfish to want Penny to be a success? I think the point being made about some people seeming to want Penny to be a failure is that they want it for reasons beyond the story being told on the show. They seem to want it because they dislike Penny and therefore want her to fail for their own personal reasons, not because of how the characters relate to each other on the show.

I.H.S.F.C. Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I'm suddenly a Shenny shipper because I'm actually sticking up for Penny and treating her as a human being? That just says it all, doesn't it? Yeah, your reading comprehension skills need serious work (along with DaisyJane's). Claiming people only care about Leonard and just see Penny as an object to make him happy is one of the mottoes of the Shenny crowd. I never said it made you a Shenny. If you don't like being lumped in with them, maybe you shouldn't sound like them. Particularly when virtually no one is doing what you claimed in this thread. Maybe vasu did in some posts that were deleted. But trying to crucify everyone in this thread for what he posted, particularly when most everyone here disagrees with him on a daily basis, shows how ridiculous your post was.

I think in the future people should refrain from Generalizing ships, but as for your comment that Shennies claiming Penny is just an object to make Leonard happy, well arent you doing the same thing your accusing a few people of? Of course Penny is the object of Leonard's happiness, that is not a bad thing and it is definately not a reason to undermine someones points in their post, not that I am saying your doing any of this, but just sharing my opinion. And I dont think BigBang was crucifying that person for what that person posted, or telling someone what they can and what they can not post in reply or in the OP, is no worser then the points your trying to make. The point being made here I think is, that Penny is not soley relient on Leonard for financial support, she has always in some ways falled back on the guys for wifi and food e.t.c. But I think theirs a reason why the writers made her quit her job, they maybe trying to give her some acting gigs, that way it well give her validation, and she needs it to have some self worth that she can bring to her relationship with Leonard. Complaining that they are not married yet, or not living together yet is pointless at this stage, people keep going on about lack of story ideas for Lenny, and everything for Shamy yet if they rolled out everything, it would get boring pretty quick just saying.

Tensor Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 (edited) Conjunction is used in grammar meaning a word linking two clauses( examples in English are but, and, because, however. It's used in astronomy as meaning two objects that appear close together in the sky. But, the third meaning is interesting. It can mean the act of, or the state of being conjoined( joined together).Junction means1) a place or point where two things are joined.2) the act of joining two things together:Combining3) The state of being joined:UnionBoth words can mean the act or state of being joined. Geeeee, I can't think of anything that would fit in the show at this point in time, can anyone else? Edited January 23, 2014 by Tensor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eirwinrommel Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I think that the reason they had Penny quit TCCF was to give a reason for her and Leonard to move in together. The writers made it clear (through Leonard) just how long the odds of success are for someone trying to be an actor. Given the odds, it would be no surprise if L/P move in together. That's not to say anything about Penny's acting skills. There so many intangibles involved that it's not just a cliche to say the best actor in the world probably can't get hired. As for Penny's career, It would be nice to see her getting a few acting jobs, but more likely she'll end up going to school for something. In any case Leonard would be glad to help Penny out, no matter what the results. Though they do need to find a way to cut Sheldon loose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
