Lenny may slip off the tv screen if they get anymore background. But THEY are better THEN last season. I just want to see another paint canvas type plot. Speculation some sorta celebration well be featured in the 200th. So never know. Re Lenny re do. 

Eta: scratch that apparently its Sheldons bday lol.

Anyone else noticing that Penny's right leg is bent rather strangely? ^^ I mean, I know that it's probably because Kaley has ridden horses since she was young but it still looks weird

Reading the other thread...seems like the airing date sort of coincides with you know who's birthday. I now think this will be the focus of 200th. Never really minded him until last season, getting unbearable how he is the main focus of a majority of episodes. Maybe Lenny can find a Tardis or closet to 'hide' in! Ugh!

Hope I'm wrong!

And outward bound leg isn't really flexibility ^^

I wonder if it is the leg that was broken.

The Sheldon Show again with Raj’s sausage dip and Lenny sprinkles. WTF (sorry).

 

*/sarcasm*  

You know what I like about this short clip, I don't see insecure Leonard or  'Hot' Penny, I see Dr Leonard Hofstader, esteemed Physicist from Cal Tech and his equally successful wife Penny Hofstadter.  They have actually come a long way since Leonard saw her unpacking across the hall, they are both now young professionals, a power couple.

Yeah they are equals now. Leonard not to smart for her. And PENNY not to hot.

In the minority here but I find that I cannot subsist on Lenny sprinkles decorating the freaking Sheldon and Shamy cake.

Is this season better than last season for me as a Lenny? Yes. Because Leonard and Penny are representing -- we actually see them standing together behind the kitchen island or like last night in the doorway, chiming in and acting (again) as Sheldon's Greek chorus. I remember last season when they all but disappeared and we were all supporting one another with basically the conventional wisdom that 'every character has their arc and maybe Lenny's will be towards the end of the season'. Except for Graduation and the horrific 8.24, that didn't happen. 

But now this season, our mantra has seemed to have changed. Now it's 'well they're not doing much but at least they're acting like a married couple'. 

Yeah. Fucking great. 

I'm not stupid and an episode entitled The Meemaw Materialization is going to Sheldon and Shamy intensive. I know that. But IMO, Raj's storyline was inane. And again, the creatives couldn't jettison that crappy plot and give that time to Lenny. They couldn't or wouldn't or didn't care to think of one thing for Lenny to do other than to stand in the background and support Sheldon. Again. WTF!

I am still on the edge. I don't know how much more I can take of these TPTB crotch kicks especially when they are wearing pointy shoes. 

Couldn't agree more. All the writers are doing is throwing an occasional  bone to  the Lenny fans and other non-Shamy fans,

So Lenny getting a focus on their relationship in half of the episodes to this point this season (7 out of 14) is a bone? So when they got back together in the beta test episode in season 5, and had only 2 episodes out of the 10 remaining season 5 episodes focus on their relationship.  What was that?  A lick of salt?

They've been background the whole season. Anyone watching can tell.You that. Season 5? Its Season 9. They only got a focus in 9x01. And most agree that was not positive. Since then most of the storylines have Been Shamy focused. Not sure what show YOUR watching. Or your definition of focus. But Lenny have definitely not been a focus. Segmentated their and their. Like the Therapy plot. But beyond that background. If standing in the background as props. Is your idea of being a focus lol. Sorry I disagree.

So why is the separation oscillation not a spotlight on their relationship? Or the bachelor part corrosion?  Or the 2003 approximation?  Or the platonic permutation?  Or the earworm reverberation? Or the sales call sublimation?  Honestly I think you know that deep down they've had more than 1 episode.  But I guess that wouldnt support stretching the truth of Lenny being treated unfairly.

1. But how often have they been the "main storyline"?  Actual time being the main focus. Minutes per episode?

The why is because a large component of those episodes involved Lenny and Sheldon if not directly interacting with him, indirectly discussing him, rather than having a truly unique and Sheldon free plot.  Here is the irony, I like and identify with some aspects of the Sheldon character, but the plot lines for these three are so interdependent lately that I am starting to wonder if they can even function without one another which is a disappointing and stark contrast to earlier seasons.

Your characterizations are wrong.

Again I see that as moving the goal posts.  What difference does it make if he's involved this season compared to the previous ones?  I don't see why Sheldon being involved in a Lenny plot in in some way makes it count any less as Lenny having focus today, than it did back in previous seasons episodes, like The Bad Fish Paradigm, The Guitarist Amplification, The Decoupling Fluctuation, The Spoiler Alert Segmentation, or The Status Quo Combustion.

What you call a focus I call a brief glance.

I could get that for, something like say The Earworm Reverberation, but even the 2003 Approximation, The Thanksgiving episode or the Therapist episode?  Those last three episodes had plots that revolved around them as a couple, and their actions drove the episodes directions in their plots.

[3ku11]

Focus was s1-3. Focus was most of s3. Focus was s6 or even s7. I can even accept saying oh they have Been in this many scenes and featured. Proof they are not background and are a focus. But most of their scenes are extensions of Sheldon.  They just happen to live with Sheldon. Being a Spock on the Sheldon driven storylines, ala focus. Does not mean they have been a focus.  But tptb dont know how to write Lenny. Or any of the characters separately anymore tbh. Even look at Raj with Howardette. Go as far back as s6 finalie. Was Sheldon their necessary? No. But THEY stuck him their. Its almost they cant write Sheldon and Lenny. Without a third party. Good example of being a focus is Maternal Capacitance. They had their stories. But THEY were separate. AND contrasted each other. Not disindependent from each other.
