When she leans on that looking so sad, that to me was Penny fully exposed. Yes, another great moment. I was really touched, when I saw it the first time. I miss those moments these days.

Itwasdestined Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 And then the setup in Electric Can Opener the following episode of Sheldon beginning his 6 years of interrupting their life and the writers beginning their story of Leonard not quite getting the sex part right the episode after.

hokie3457 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 ^^^^^ Love -- no adore -- that moment! I fell in love with this show because of its unique premise. Not 'nerd falls in love with hot girl next door' because THAT has been done ad nauseum. But the reverse of that 'hot girl falls in love with nerd' is especially sweet and unexpected. And, for me, THAT was the amazing glory of the earlier years of The Sheldon Show! Ah er, I meant TBBT. Sorry. Late to this Rodeo (Tapatalk keeps turning off my notifications! [emoji58]). This 5Miss is what further captured me. This moment when she is all by herself, takes us into her heart of hearts. She unquestionably Loves (capital L) him deeply-probably more than she (even in that moment) realizes. This, to me is what TBBT is all about (sorry to all otherwise focused fans and shippers): the story of a bullied, neglected nerd and a beautiful, somewhat world wise yet similarly damaged girl. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk On an unrelated topic, something is telling me that we Penny & Leonard fans should prepare for a change of focus in the upcoming few tapings. I am betting the results of the visit(s) to Dr Gallo are going to be expanded on. We may be facing some newlywed relationship angst....

Strawberry PopTart Fan Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Sitting in an airport after reading the last 5 posts with tears running down my cheeks knowing that the Leonard and Penny story might be a bit tarnished and tattered, but still very well and truly loved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5Mississippis Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 (edited)  Welcome to Sitting Here Beside Myself – the Karen and 5Mississippis Show! (cheers and mad clapping from audience) Karen: Hello! And welcome to ‘Sitting Here Beside Myself! (Karen turns to 5Mississippis) So of you may have noticed that the prodigal 5Mississippis has returned from her self-imposed exile in Elba 5Mississippis: No! No! Not Elba. Like Napoleon, I was downgraded to Saint Helena. (Audience laughs) Karen: (nods sagely) I see. Even worse. So why the return? 5Mississippis: Well, there’s a taping tonight. And I find myself circling above the field of carnage like a vulture who has caught the scent of carrion. (Audience groans and boos) Karen: (looks shocked) That’s a little strong. 5Mississippis: I know! I know! So like my time on Elba and then Saint Helena, I'm hoping for some island action! Karen: (smiles appreciatively) Oh! Yes! Like the lovely kitchen island antics Leonard and Penny have been relegated to this season! 5Mississippis: Yes! Exactly! Karen: Personally, for me, the real question is: will Leonard’s and Penny’s coffee mugs make a return tonight? When they stand behind the island, boy oh boy, do I sure do love it when they cradle those mugs in their hands. And when they take the tea tag and lift the string, dipping the bag in the hot water, well, let’s just say, I melt! Two words: Karen jello! (Audience claps and cheers) Karen: (smiles at audience) Am I right? Am I right? 5Mississippis: (nods and smiles) But, you what Karen? I’m truly hoping for a little more Leonard and Penny action tonight! (Audience ooohs and aaahhs) Karen: 5Mississippis! (slaps 5Miss on the arm) You’re being very naughty! Tell us, what are you hoping for? 5Mississippis: Well, Karen, get ready to be covered in socks! Because what I’m going to say right now is going to blow the socks off this entire audience! (Karen makes a surprised face, the audience claps and cheers) 5Mississippis: What I’m hoping for is … that we actually see Leonard and Penny … come out from behind the island! (Audience cheers and chants: come out from behind the island! come out from behind the island! come out from behind the island! while Karen and 5Mississippis nod happily) 5Mississippis: And maybe, just maybe (audience goes silent, you can hear a pin drop) we’ll get to see some … Karen: (gasps) No! You mean …  5Mississippis: Vintage Lenny! (Audience cheering) 5Mississippis: I really want to see … Karen: (laughing) Don’t say it! It’s too much! It’s too much! The world will explode! 5Mississippis: I’m gonna say it! I hope we see Leonard get up out of his chair, cross the room to the refrigerator, retrieve a bottle of water, and hand it to Penny! (Audience goes mad with screams and cheers) Karen: You are a wild woman! You are a wild woman! (looks at audience) Is this a wild woman or what?!  5Mississippis: And I’m talking just a few seconds here. So no way all this vintage Lenny will distract from Sheldon or Shamy. Karen: (nods head in agreement) That’s good. That’s good. (wags finger at audience) It’s very important that we do that, you know. We can’t take any time away Sheldon or Shamy. 5Mississippis: (nods solemnly) Agreed. Agreed. Karen: And there you have it! Our wishes for tonight’s taping! I’m hoping that Leonard and Penny are holding their coffee mugs on the kitchen island while 5Miss hopes that Leonard hands Penny a bottle of water! Well that’s all we have for this week! And thank you for joining us, me and 5Mississippis, in Sitting Here Beside Myself! Edited February 2, 2016 by 5Mississippis Removed spaces Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hokie3457 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 OMG!! Best post of the year!!! So hilarious! "come out from behind the island; come out from behind the island!". This really made my day. And I am right there with you! Glad to see you back in the fold. I really hope we get something tonight that can keep us all together! Thanks again, and "able was I ere I saw Elba!".

My girlfriend (a Lenny shipper too, but long before I became one) had tears in her eyes, the first time she saw this scene. You know what was also great about those words, Kaley too couldn't keep from crying when she said them and barely kept it together when they taped it.

That's why I'm always confused when people say that Lenny's love story is cliché. It really isn't. She fell for him almost as quickly as he fell for her. When the guys all met Penny for the first time, Leonard was the only one who treated her completely normal. Yes, he was clearly attracted to her, but he didn't hit on her like a creep the way Howard did, didn't give her the silent treatment like Raj, or acted like Sheldon. He just tried to engage in normal conversation in order to make her feel welcome. He was just being a genuinely decent guy to her. Man I wanna re-watch S1 now. Vintage Lenny are always great to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itwasdestined Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Of all the seasons, I actually like the Lenny of Season 1-2 the most. It actually had some of the sweetest, most genuine and honest moments of their relationships in the show. Think about it, we got - -Hi! hi!hi! hi! -Penny's appreciation of his attempt at helping a virtual stranger to confront that giant bully Kurt -That awkward first "not a date" -Her defending of Leonard and first kiss in the Halloween party -His willingness to dump nerdvana to change and her insistence that he didn't because that was part of him being a great guy -His constant entering of her room to console her when she was upset -The awkward response to Mary Coopers "are you two a couple" observation -Her attempt to throw him a birthday party -Her good natured advice and maybe or maybe not innocent appearance in her underwear during the Stephanie relationship -Her happiness for him when a girl did like him - her constant "where's Leonard" entrances -Her attempts to be there for Leonard in his big moments-the presentations, the physics bowl -His support for her despite being hurt by her other male interests -Her defense of him despite his new infatuation with whatshername the model upstairs -The Lime Kiss -The Cats Alive Kiss The 5 Mississippi hug -The blanket with sleeves -The I wish you weren't going I've probably missed a few more but I'm trying to wear myself and get back to sleep. And by the way, the last couple of pages - this is what I enjoyed about this thread before it all went battleground. So much more fun thinking of good times even if it has to be a history lesson and welcome back funny Karen ( come on Tonstar, give it s go ). This instead of Law and Order - The Meka division and Carlos,Tensor and JE7 banging their heads up against a brick wall fighting the unwinnable court case. I miss this.

And the doubt lingers today! sigh! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Im a big Leonard fan. But didn't like how they wrote him then. First two was a guy who put friendship above all. I get waiting for this girl for years. He was horny lol. But he came across as just another guy wanting to get into Pennys pants. Not a guy who actually Cares about Penny. He came across as a jock, almost like he was Kurt lol. While I diddnt feel sorry for Sheldon, when they destroyed his evidence. I can understand why they did it. I still think it was a low blow. I guess ppl always say they cheapened their relationship by jumping into bed too quick. Do ppl forget they wrre friends for two Years before they got it on. Also Penny's a big ol 5. But she showed restraint well up and till the episode later. Kinda random. Lets be friend's. Lets have sex now lol. But guess they already been intimate in the past. So its not like they just met. I guess it was the start of 6 years of Lenny dealing WITH Sheldon. Â Eta: in other news this thread just clocked over 200 k views haha.

son-goku5 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 There is one specific episode that I viscerally hated and that was The Bath Item Gift Hypothesis (where me met Dave Underhill). That episode showed how much of a promiscuous slut Penny used to be, she just met the guy and immediately started a sexual relationship with him, proving that it wasn't Leonard's intelligence that was stopping her from starting something with him, since Dave was as smart as Leoanrd. And Leonard, who was pretty mad for the right reasons immediately caved in just because she started crying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Leonard was honest about his feelings. Maybe Penny wouldn't of dated David. As it is Penny realized Leonard aint too smart for him. Penny was single, and your right was promiscuous back then. But she wss young and having fun lol. Penny made up.for it sort of anyway. Its funny though CHarlie in Taahm was way more sexually active then Penny. And was seen as cool. Penny sleeps with a few guys, seeing she was technically single then. And shes a slut. I was more bothered by her dating Stuart. On their first date she asked him In. Thank god for Sheldon lol. Yet wanted to slow things down with Leonard. That made no sense at all. Edited February 2, 2016 by 3ku11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
