Didn't Kaz make a point of there being no tag scene in the first ep? She said that it was referred to as the "final piece." Also it was mentioned by someone that the episode didn't feel quite finished. There could possibly be a tag scene with Sheldon speaking with his mom via chat. Maybe she asks how the proposal went since it might be a family ring. Who knows! This is exciting though. I agree with Chloe I don't think it's a secret scene so much as they need to wait to film it when Laurie is free. 

No I doubt she takes the ring back, Mary probably tells him to fight for her hence his behavior in episode 2.

From Entertainment Weekly: http://www.ew.com/article/2015/08/21/spoiler-room-big-bang-theory-supernatural-spoilers?hootPostID=957d28f1cae1627e2b99f9f6ecc9db54

Spoiler Room: Scoop on Big Bang, Murder, Supernaturaland more

 

I need some hope for Shamy before The Big Bang Theory returns. — Kara


Does this help? “The fate of the ring Sheldon held at the end of the episode — and the fate of other rings — will be revealed,” the BBT producers tell me. In possibly related news, I can exclusively reveal that Laurie Metcalf will reprise her role as Sheldon’s mother in the premiere, while Keith Carradine returns as Penny’s father in the third episode.

 

excuse me........

I just think the Shenny make out scene is just bad writing.  Why?  The purpose of a writer is convey a story in a media his intended audience will understand.  I agree with most of the opinions on this forum, that scene was made to show Leonard's insecurities and guilt.  So the writers job is to produce a scene that does that,

What part of it being a dream is beyond the audience's understanding?

No, adding Sheldon was only for the shock value, it was an immature stunt by the writers.

Making Sheldon the guy Penny is kissing in Leonard's dream is not a "bad writing problem", it's more of a "I don't like it being Sheldon because I hate that ship problem".

think about the average fan when they see 9.02 cold, they watched 9.01 and are probably wondering if Shamy is going to stay broken up and if Lenny will stay married.  But what they get, as the episode opens, is a makeout session with Shenny,  talk about a WTF moment.   Do you really think they are going to say 'Oh that is just a dream by Leonard about his insecurities and guilt'?

If they have the patience to WAIT a few seconds to have it confirmed that it was Leonard having a dream, then YES.  This idea that the average viewer is incapable of having patience and WAITING A FEW SECONDS to see how a scene plays out is extremely pretentious.

I think probably the average viewer will laugh at Leonard's dream. *shrug* I expect there to be some "boo hiss"-ing on the net after the ep airs, but that's still a relatively small portion of total viewership.

I certainly won't be laughing at Leonard's dream, but I've developed a morbid curiosity over the whole thing, especially the more we talk about it. I can't picture it (not that I'm trying all that hard).

The mother tidbit is so interesting.  I wonder what words of wisdom Mary Cooper will add to the premiere episode.  Very excited for Penny's father for next week's taping.  Too bad we get a father, but no mother.

Penny's father returning wonder if he will know that L/P got married or is it just a visit I think he will be glad they are married but unhappy he wasn't there to see it

alteast penny did it when she was in high school...

So that absolves Penny of her sins, when she knew better? Just because IT WAS HIGH SCHOOL!? :icon_rolleyes:

Your words, "Once a cheater, always a cheater."  Anytime you feel the need to remind us of Leonard doing this every five seconds, penny doing that usually goes un-noted by you.

leonard does it after penny says she loves him ....... and knowing how penny has been cheated on before...and how she feels about....

How do you know one of the brothers didn't say I love you to Penny?

 

but I still feel with the way leonard has acted over the past few seasons......penny can do a lot lot better.......

Yeah like that time when Leonard bought her a car, so she wouldn't have to go back to being a waitress.  Or when Leonard told her taking the love test doesn't matter.  Or how he ultimately was able to get past her unintentional marriage, or him standing up for her in front of the jerk director.

Seems like you never take any of Leonards positive qualities or what he's done for Penny in the recent past into consideration.  Seemingly because it doesn't fit your claim.

 

and from penny's side , I rarely see her *love* for leonard.....

Why? Because they're not beating you over the head that Penny loves him every 5 minutes?

Again you ignore things like her wanting to dance with Leonard without music, her standing up for him in front of the jerk director DESPITE her being on thin ice with him, AND she didn't cast blame on him when she was fired, or when she made Leonard's graduation speech possible, her trying to cheer up Leonard by buying him something, or when DESPITE Leonard dropping the kiss bombshell on her SHE STILL wanted to keep going and get married.

Again I think you rarely take things like that into consideration when you make these interpretations, seemingly because they contradict your claims.

I think the average non shipping viewer will laugh as well. TBBT's shipping faction seems pretty small after all. Im curious to see how critics will react.

I don't think a big deal will be made over it by the media since its just a nightmare sequence. Those aren't exactly uncommon.

Wait a minute they broadcast the ceremony online so that the gang could watch it in Pasadena maybe her parents watch it online too

I'm curious about how the critics will react as well. Sometimes it's nice to be reminded what the average viewer is thinking. Haha!

Yeah it is LOL. But I think the near-universal reaction will be shock at first. When they see it's just a nightmare, I think a lot of people will laugh. I'd like to laugh about it as well :icon_razz:

Yeah, it'd be nice to laugh the whole thing off. At best I'll laugh at the ridiculousness...but more than likely my face will be frozen in horror...or I'll be watching my (unspoiled) roommate's reaction. LOL

That ought to be interesting :icon_biggrin: I take it that your roommate is an average, non-shipping viewer?

Yep! She is giving me flack for spoiling myself. Although, I've been good. I didn't even say whether the spoilers made me happy or sad. I was just taunting her. LOL "So I know what's going to happen on Big Bang"

The problem when doing this, is that they really don't care to even know.  It's like they are not fans of the show.  My smile is 10 miles wide and I'm jumping to tell them the juicy gossip and they just look at me like Hurry up get over with it.  It's sad.  AND  then will ask "Which one's Sheldon?"

I usually get people telling me the show is rubbish and that's based on 10 mins viewing time

Yeah it's dumb how some people can be so judgemental. I think the fact that TBBT is an old-fashioned sitcom contributes to the flak it gets.
