The episode titles were most often leaked secretly by Moyra, and unfortunately she has passed away. I don't know if we'll get that many episode titles leaked in the future.

 

Oh, then my apologies. I did not know. I will remove my post immediately.

It's okay. Moyra was very much a lurker/secret agent type of TBBT fan. She sent sides, episode titles, etc.....I think she affected and informed the fandom a lot without most people knowing who she was, and she liked it that way. She didn't like the spotlight. I think some things will change now, without her. But I don't expect everyone to know why, if they didn't know her.

The problem with Lucy was not the idea that she had severe social anxiety (which seemed to have lessened somewhat by the time Penny confronted her at the restaurant--by then she was dating someone else, etc.

The problem with Lucy is that the writers made her a one-trick pony. The ONLY thing we really learned about her was her social anxiety and that she apparently had a limited vocabulary because I swear I think she said some variation of that one line in EVERY episode she was in (or most of them): "I'm trying to do things that scare me."

I swear we heard it at least 3 times and I think she was only in a handful of episodes.

I much prefer Emily. I think the writers have already done a great job of fleshing her out. They're relying a bit, still, on her quirky factors, but I think there's much more to her character. What I really like is that they found a way to have her character bring out Raj's honesty--he doesn't rely on braggadocio, but can admit his fears or anxieties and be more himself. She accepts his quirks and his weaknesses and doesn't make fun of him.

And she's no weak link.

She has the intelligence and sass needed to fit in with the group--something they never developed for Lucy. Even Amy had that sort of thing going for her from day one. She had no qualms insulting the guys (unintentionally, perhaps) by being brutally honest. She wasn't afraid of their displeasure.

I think Emily is kind of the same way. She's confident enough that she can carry herself with the gang.

Now, if only Laura Spencer would have more time, I think they could come up with some fun whole gang or girls night kinds of plots involving her.

And I don't think they have to rely on playing any of the characters against each other.

I agree that she was pretty one dimensional, though I don't understand how was that relevant to my post. She had a potential but they probably didn't develop her much because her main purpose was make Raj get over his issues.

R.I.P. Moyra :(

Lucy annoyed me and was not at all right for Raj or his circle of friends. Emily is a much better fit, not only for Raj, but for the rest of the gang. Behind her beauty, there is a mysterious macabre about her that makes her intriguing and balances out Raj's feministic traits. I've liked her from the beginning. I also liked how she and Amy initially connected. I hope Emily becomes absorbed into the group like Bernie and Amy did.

For those of you who are grieving for Moyra, please check the Chit Chat area of the forum. I posted an obit for her there, and it's been lovely to read comments from others. Her sister would like people to write to her, or have more information about Moyra passed along to her, so....if you have anything to write on her thred, please do so. I'm going to write to Moyra's sister and give her a link to it so she can read it.

Who's bedroom has that kind of bedding?  It definitely isn't Amy's or the boys and I thought Penny's had aqua, orange and white theme.   I don't think it looks anything like Bernie and Howard's bedroom or his old bedroom....so Raj maybe?

My guess is we are seeing Emilys for the first time

I'm staying out of chat to avoid adding to the chaos there.  It's taking every ounce of willpower I have, so there's not a drop left to use for resisting that ice cream craving.  Please pass along whatever you hear.

That's good to know.  I can enjoy my ice cream without constantly refreshing for updates!
