You know, I don't remember reading in the TR if Leonard and/or Penny ever SIGNED the RA that was drafted. Maybe they read it and said we don't need this.

It is not that detailed but actually what they say is....

Quote

Lenny agree that the contract sounds great and Amy says it reminds her of her first relationship agreement. Sheldon says, "And you're obviously forgetting the no sentimentality clause." 

And that was it.

....and all I can think is what strange alternate universe is this? Who is smoking what? Is Penny going to look into the camera and say "what the hell just happened?"

Okay happy thoughts....

Pennys immaturity is the main issue in Lennys marrage. That girl needs to grow up. But yeah this episode seems bizarro world.

She has shown a lot of maturity this season when dealing with some issues outside of her relationship IMO, in some episodes for example when giving advice she has come across as way more mature than Leonard (especially thinking the whole living arrangement changes here).

I think you may have a point in terms of her marriage but then I would say the same for Leonard as well.

Fair enough. But then I think instances. Like agreeing to stay with Sheldon. Then complaining about him. Yeah he's a pain in the butt. But it's not his fault. Your so backwards lol. I thought that was immature. Last season siding with Sheldon. To get her own way in the Roommate Agreement. This season, moving Leonard's stuff knowing he would be upset. And recently going behind Leonard's back with her brother Randall. Opposed to the mature thing would be direct. So stuff like that. Latter half I would like the writers to make Penny realise marrage is a two way street. It's not what you can get out of it.

It says Shamy leave the room so Lenny can talk it out. Are you seriously questioning the meaning of these words? Because, unless the person who wrote the report made a mistake, and I doubt that, this line is quite transparent.

Really? OK then. What did they say? You don't really know, do you?

Except for an item or two here and there, nope they don't really dive into the content.  They list off a couple of items in there to give you an idea and those items are very much Lenny centric (example one of them is that Leonard will restrict his video gaming time to times when Penny is not home, then they also listed one for Penny but I can't remember what it was).  There's no weird Shamy-esque stuff if that's what anyone is worried about.  And zero mention of the agreement in the following episode.

Whatever else is in there, Sheldon asks them to read it all over and make sure its what they both want in there, and both of them sign quite happily.

Thank you very much for the clarification. I nevertheless think that any kind of RA, even the one you're describing, is beyond stupid, ridiculous and pathetic for Lenny. Please don't misunderstand me. I'm not saying any of that about anything you wrote but merely about what the show writers have decided to give us. I'm not even blaming Sheldon for anything in light of this new info. All of this is, IMO, and to paraphrase Raj : "pure kaa-kaa".

Since the writers apparently didn't think they had stooped to deep enough depths, they followed this episode by a completely egregious disregard of one partner by the other in the case of Penny's brother. Shouldn't they had put something like that in this moronic Lenny's RA? I am stunned, honestly stunned.

They should of but that RA IMO will never be heard of again. The episode regarding Penny's brother wouldn't of been so bad if it was for the episode before. To me Shamy got inserted into a story which they had no business in. Where the Lenny storyline goes astray is when Penny invites Amy to the spa. As you know it's Leonard who is the romantic one but it seems in this episode they could have done something different and made Penny the romantic. They could have had Lenny at the spa and made it funny and worked out their differences by the end. The problem is, and I can't remember the last time this happened, they had no storyline for Shamy or more specifically Sheldon. I'm sure they could of somehow thrown them into the Raj/Howard storyline. That would been better than the predictable Lenny/Shamy and Howdette/Raj pairings.

Since last taping will air during February sweep, I'm guessing that the fighting Lenny has been having in the previous episodes will continue right through sweeps. 

Fighting couples are so fun.... NOT. 

They haven't taped any Valentine's Day themed episode yet. Maybe based on Mary's comments that she thought he'd be alone for the rest of his life, he'll take the initiative and proposed to Amy. Story wise an engagement can be drawn out a long time, but I don't think they have years left in the show to do that.

Seems to me there is a long history of fighting couples in sitcoms from the honeymooners to Everyone Loves Raymond. One way to escape that is to have fighting kids (which TBBT does not have).

I was just talking about the Lenny plot but I don't think you are wrong about Shamy.

I think a proposal should come up because Sheldon would be ready for that and not for his mother's comments about what she would expect from his life. However you made a point about the time of the show for dragging out some events for long time if this season is the last. A proposal in Valentine's  also would be nice but imo a bit obvious for it could work as catch the viewer off guard episode. But I guess meanwhile we would know if the show is renewed or ended for that postoned event to happen soon or not.

To be honest I don't find Lenny fighting one bit funny. 

A sit-com to me should not be about marriage issues and fighting,but I guessing I'm watching the show wrong.

The Honeymooners had Ralph wrong in every episode and everything was resolved by the end of the episode. Raymond rarely had serious battles and Ray and Debra fought and so did the parents. It seems to me Lenny battles are much more harsher and happen more often. It would be nice in February if there was a couple fighting it wasn't Lenny.

The problem with Lenny fighting, is I well state I have no problem with Lenny arguing. It woulden't be realistic, if things were great all the time. But its the consistency of it. Theirs no balance. Were not seeing them settle into married life. Because well they diddn't let them. They impulsively got married on a whim. The Reveal from Leonard. They rebounded and got married anyway. Things seemed initially rockey. Then the reveal of Penny drowning in debt. The suggestion of something big coming, then nothing. Then they renewed their vows. And things seemed fine, then bang Leonard is not romantic enough. Just seems that is what 7 episodes of fine, then we have had 3 episodes in a row now. Of tiresome drama. They are not balancing it out with some fun plots. Problem with comparing Lenny to other sitcom couples like Everybody loves Raymond e.t.c. Is most of them have been married for years, when show started. And have kids. Difference with Lenny is not anywhere near that point. Show started with them, Penny in her 20's. Leonard late 20's, early-mid 30's. So it seems to me they have bypassed all the initial fun married settling in plots. To dealing with Sheldon, then suddenly he is gone. So no excuse to avoid their issues anymore. The wife feels underappreciate trope. So we never got to see them settle into married life properly. As it is, I Feel were going in circles here. Lenny well be fine, as well I've seen the end of this movie before. I do wonder seeing sweeps well be the 5th year anniversary since Lenny reconciled. Well see something i don't know.

Yes. Lenny fighting often lacks the humor of other sitcoms...
