Ask Ausiello: Spoilers on Big Bang, Homeland, The Flash, Supernatural, Gilmore Girls, The 100 and More

Question: Any scoop on The Big Bang Theory would be fantastic! —Mer
Ausiello: Sheldon and Amy are sloooooowly making Penny’s apartment their own. “If you look carefully, some of Sheldon’s things are quietly migrating from [his and Leonard’s old apartment] into what was Penny’s apartment,” reveals showrunner Steve Molaro, adding that he’s loathe to conduct a wholesale revamp of what is essentially one of the show’s three iconic sets (the other two being Sheldon’s old apartment with Leonard and the heavily trafficked staircase). “Those three sets are baked into the DNA of the show, so I’d like to not make drastic changes there.”

Question: Are we ever going to see Emily (Laura Spencer) again on The Big Bang Theory? —Andrew
Ausiello: Sounds like both Emily and Claire will be popping back into Raj’s life in Season 10. “They are temporarily done,” teases showrunner Steve Molaro, “but we are talking about an idea that would involve both of them.”

Question: Who will voice Halley’s cry on The Big Bang Theory? —Ellen
Ausiello: That was Better Things‘ Pamela Adlon supplying the demon spawn’s screeching audio track in the fall finale. And she will continue to do so “for the long haul,” Molaro told THR.com.

Kind of like throwing water into a grease fire for Lenny fans.

I don't think that they can make it more obvious what tptb think of the importance of lenny

No words on how Leonard and Penny are slooooowly making 4A their own? It's kind of sad how everyone else but Shamy is being ignored in interviews, press releases, pictures and what not.

Could be flashback scenes maybe? Get to see what happened and why they dumped him?

If they are being brought back to be a part of 'Raj's Harem' again then I would rather not see them back...

You mean because they are not mentioned again?

Indeed! And if it was with a sense of closure, it would be better. Imo this plotline has no way of going back to any of them.

[Tonstar17]

Of course they wouldn't ask about lenny. They havent had a decent story in years. If the writers have forgotten about Lenny or don't give a shit. Why should the media or the viewers. The way lenny have been written the past seasons it's no wonder they don't give a shit too. Sheldon and Shamy have been forcefully shoved into the viewers faces, they probably think it's the Sheldon and Shamy show now, not an esembled show. They only asked about Raj because that story is still open to interpretation, so is Howardette. Lenny is a closed book. I guess they could have asked when is the next time we see them them at the kitchen island. Oh wait they are always there.

Got to question either Emily's or Claire's judgement if they are willing to get back with him.

Flashback scene that explains what happened and what was 'the straw that broke the camel's back' seems the obvious way to go here.

Although it was not a plot I really enjoyed much, Isabella could be a way for Raj begin to going  to somewhere. However or it was a failed test in pov of writers or she might suddenly appear in Raj's life in second part of the season. Whatever that make the boy growing up. He said too much non sense  in last episodes, ugh!

This is probably farther From the truth. But is their any truth to the reports Jim well be leaving this season? Just read a silly article lol. I doubt it. But who knows. I guess theirs more of a chance of Johnny and Kaley leaving. I'm not sure what role Jim we'll play in the susposed Prequel. At any rate.

[rachelshamyfan]

Tptb are keeping Lenny in the main apartment, isn't that a good thing for Lenny fans? 

[JE7]

I realized today that we owe Kaley a debt of gratitude for her short hair.

It is the TBBT equivalent of Rikers beard, if your flipping thru channels and hit TBBT and penny has short hair keep going and save yourself the pain.

Thank you Ms. Cuoco you have my thanks

For now, you have to wonder when TBTB continue to refer to it as "Sheldon's old apartment"

Moloro on occasion still refers to it as Sheldon and Leonard's apt on occasion. I don't know after years. Of any movement in this show going at glacier pace. Suddenly Sheldon agreeing to moving out. And getting settled in an Apt he once deemed unsanitary and Messy. Transitioning from this insufferable man who could not relate to any Human on any lvl.

To well a grown man who puts trains in his mouth. Mr a Phobia huh. Cooking dinner. Being domesticated. Getting his Joey Tribiani on. Attempting to seduce Amy. Ugh how cringy was that? This is the man when Lenny decleared they were moving out. He attempted to go back 13 years ago to 2003. Suddenly in 5 episodes or less he has made more changes to his life. Then he ever did ten years preceding it. And don't get me wrong that's great. But the rational side of me is like. Yeah TbbT where's the catch, I'm waiting for the punchline..

I guess it's possible they perhaps didn't hit it off that well on screen? I know some on the forum at the time when the episode aired thought there was a bit of awkwardness or a lack of chemistry between the two of them which may have been a fair point but I hadn't seen enough yet to make that judgement.

I think the storyline and especially how Raj is as a character it deliberately felt a bit that way especially on their first meeting. Maybe those posters were right and the writers picked up on it? It's also perfectly plausible that the actress may have had other work on and they couldn't follow up on it. So many variables really to consider and by the looks of it we will never know.

But as it stands I can't help but feel that storyline was a complete waste of time.

You mean " you got the big apartment, now be quiet and let us watch 19  minutes of the Sheldon (and Amy) saga"?  I know that's probably not what you meant, but that is what your post says to this Leonard/Penny fan......(call me sensitive, or thin skinned, but...)

So you would be okay with Shamy in 4a and 19 minutes of Lenny? You think the forum is a bitch fest now could you imagine it on here with my scenerio.

Me too. Maybe next time the things went well romanticly for Raj. Although if he doesn't change his behavior about some things, it hardly happens. But writers have last word about that, let see what they might do about this character.

Oh what a coincidence.

[BigBang15]

Can't wait for Lorre and Company to screw with everyone in the last episode.

Sheldon will be finishing to tell his court appointed psychiatrist about the last 10 (or so) years and how he then killed all his friends.

But one surviving one (maybe Stuart or better still, Wil Wheaton) will contradict it and "straighten out" all the errors, like Sheldon's wife was Penny (who he caught cheating with Stuart), Amy was a figment of his imagination, Raj and Howard were the gay couple, Bernadette was Howard's mother and Leonard was really married to Leslie Winkle.

I loved the story of Raj with the cleaning lady. I'm calling her that only because I don't remember her name (was it Isabel?). What I liked about the story was that she was not going to put up with Raj's crap, and seemed like she was going to make him mature. At this stage, IMO, he's pretty much hopeless as a character, not to mention that he has been written very inconsistently. First he has no one, then he has a girlfriend, then he breaks up with said girlfriend, then he two times her and then, with no explanation whatsoever he's back to being alone again, all the while having his ex creepy ex-girlfriend being alternatively portrayed as a strong woman, or a whiny shadow of her former self.

In Claire's case she seemed to have more chemistry with Zack rather than with Raj as shown in the wine tasting episode, but apparently that's just a minor detail. Oh well, the only characteristic that seems to have accompanied him since the show started is him being a douche.

Yeah I liked the storyline at the time because I thought it was going to go somewhere. An older woman who comes from a much different background than the women he has been with before so I thought there might be something more behind it. I guess I got sucked into a storyline thinking we might finally see an opportunity for some character growth for Raj.

With the benefit of hindsight the whole storyline was pointless and I find that extremely disappointing. Every time I will watch that episode again I will remember that.

Someone needs to bring up Raj's character in an interview with Molaro to see what the fuck they actually think about his character and what their plans are for him. As I see it there are none.

Beginning to believe myself now that there is no hope for him. I find that both sad and extremely frustrating.
