Mario D. Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 1 hour ago, Jonny said: Actually I don't think Penny not knowing what she wants is at all out of character for her, she has always been like that especially before she was married. For example I remember vaguely that conversation a few seasons back when she said to Leonard she imagines a lot of things like getting married or breaking up (can't remember the exact episode or quote but at the time it was quite striking she would have said that as they seemed happy, iirc they were walking up or down the stairs). But to come out with stuff like that now? I guess I just need to know what has triggered this, what is the root cause? If Penny is having a crisis then fine, but the writers need to show us why! The last time I was this confused about her character was in 9.12 when she was talking to Dr Gallo and she was intimating that she missed when life was so much simpler. Penny character is ever evolving. She always has had committment issues and felt her marriage to Leonard might be a disaster since they do not have much in common. But they worked through all that stuff and now she is probably looking for something more out of life, I think a good way for her to feel that she has accomplished something would be for her to win a sales award and give an acceptance speech at a dinner and possibly get a promotion. Believe Leonard would be very proud of her for this. Do agree that the Dr. Gallo scenario was glossed over and it could have been beneficial for both of them to see her together. She might have told them that starting a family would be a good way to bring them closer and overcome some of their issues as Howard and Bernadette seem to have done.

3ku11 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I wonder if they would do a Pregnancy scare in the season finalie? Seeing it is likely their well be a Season 11. And the cliffhanger is, is Penny pregnant? That would be some discussion over the break haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A two bedroom is closer to $3000 per month. To buy a dumpy little house in a bad area would be around $700,000 and up. Lucky for Howard that he inherited his mom's house. Penny and Leonard probably can't really afford to buy a house IRL They should have no problem buying a $1m house and getting a mortgage. Leonard must be pulling in at least $100k and Penny being one of the top sellers at her job must clock in at $150k or more. That stupid thing over a little money Leonard has saved separately was just for that episode Edited January 18, 2017 by BigBang15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starting a family is one of the things that breaks couples up. It's a strain which can add to the happiness of a very close and stable couple but can be too much for a couple already under stress. It's not the answer to a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3ku11 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I think Penny well give Birth in the Series Final. So maybe episode before revealed she is pregnant. I know in Friends they had Rachel Pregnant. But she was single then. But in this case Lenny are under semi stress as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some lame ass proposal from a guy who acts like a tweeny 98% of the time? If I were an Amy fan I wouldn't give a monkeys if Sheldon proposed or not. Weddings, proposals, events? What matters is the connection, the journey, the fun. The writers know this. At least I think they did once. I'm sorry I'm not having a go at what you want to see... i'm just saying that I really don't understand why that type of character would be so invested in that level of conformity. In fact, I don't see why Amy, a person who has been shunned all her life, wouldn't be more enlightened. More pragmatic. I've never known a woman in Amy's position who wasn't wise and grounded. The whole experience of being left out does this. The Amy they created seems stuck in high school. This is why I never got behind Amy because they never really got the formula right for me. Yes, Amy's stuck in high school. She only started moving out of The Infants six years ago. With Penny's help she left there and made it through The Juniors into Secondary. Her emotional immaturity was no doubt one of the reasons she was left out and rejected so much in her youth. Give her time. Last year when she was thirteen or so she discovered she had options in her social life. There were men who fancied her and in practice she perhaps could have done better than Sheldon but 'better' for a person who loves games and likes an intellectual challenge for its own sake is 'boring'. She went back to Sheldon because he was the one with whom she could have fun on her own level. When Penny offered her Leonard's room for a place to crash she was like a girl half her age ' I'd be moving in with my boyfriend' - the bad girl role she'd always found titillating. The wise and grounded side of Amy is a bit patchy,certainly, but she can use it to control Sheldon. She's respected in her work field and this gives her claims to confidence all round, merited or not. I've never personally known anyone to be wise and grounded who's been shunned. Quite the reverse. We must have encountered different types of people. I have known some of the wisest and grounded women, mostly very elderly now, to be those in positions of authority who've never married or who were widowed young, thanks to wars or demands of careers or sick parents. What shocked me on embarking on a career was the number of women in it who after struggling to get in and on, were focussed on their courtships and marriages, many even willing to drop the whole thing to become housewives and raise families with their 'Semi-detached suburban Mr James' es. So, that part of Amy doesn't surprise me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a lot of people, women and men, that have fulfilling careers and wonderful relationships which they want to advance, up to marriage, and everything works out pretty fine, with all the difficulties that everyday life might create, of course. I don't see why scientists shouldn't want to get married, if they find the right person, who happens to have a ring somewhere, ready to be used.

sarah7 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 (edited) So, another sexy Sheldon fantasy from Amy? Well, for all those who will enjoy the sight of a shirtless Jim, congrats, I'm happy for you, now, apart from the fanservice, I'm not sure if that was necessary at all or if I like that a bit. Because while a I agree it's perfectly normal an healthy to fantasize about your significant other, I don't think that showing Amy's apparently secret fantasies bodes well with the infamous "once-a-year" deal, because it makes her look sexually frustrated again, I mean, it's the Amy-is-horny-and-will-sneakily-take-any-chance-to-put-her-eyes-or-hands-over-that-sexy-bod-of-her-boyfriend-since-she-can't-get-it-otherwise dynamic all over again, reinforcing the notion that she is restraining herself for some unknown reason, I mean, they live together now, they share a bed and a whole apt, last time they had sex he seemed to be very okay with the idea and didn't try to dodge that bullet, they apparently make out a lot and get carried on with physical affection quite easily, still, it's yet unclear in what moment they pull the breaks to that unleashed passion or if they don't, because it's still unclear if they are having actual coitus more frecuently now, they keep silent about that and then they go and insert those little "jokes", I'm quite confused now! Besides, I'm also tired of Sheldon being always the one that is lusted after, I mean, he has been called a jiraffe, a praying mantis, C-3PO and so on, he's not supposed to be a hunk, yet, he's allowed to appear as a sexy poster boy to the eyes of his girlfriend, then, why is it that Amy is not allowed to be seen as a sexy woman for her man? I'm not talking about a regular "sexy gal" portrayal, it could be as quirky, ridiculous and not revealing as you want, I just would like to see Sheldon unequivocally showing that he finds her attractive. I know some would say the Harry Potter roleplay would count, but I still don't think that was enough, even when he insisted in having sex in that same episode, they still had to make him say that stuff related to trains and the amusement park was what sorta turned him on, like it's still forbidden for him to give a clear and unequivocal indication that he is physically attracted to her. I mean, why? do they really think that after all that had happened between them it would destroy their cherised and precious Sheldon character to show him turned on by her and only by her?

Amy over the years has mentioned she wants to get married to Sheldon so it shouldn't surprise anyone that she wants it more than ever. I agree I don't think marriage would change her much at all, it's not like she is going to become a stereotypical old fashioned housewife after marriage, she will still pursue her career.

I think this show does a great job with the female characters, you have three really strong willed, largely independent women with careers. Penny did. Look I agree with you. But look at Lenny once they got married. Writing changed. So I wouldent guarantee anything. Just saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not doubting any info provided in taping reports or Mayims tweet but individual scene tapings are different to edited actual episodes. Bits could be edited or cut altogether - it's happened before. I'm not making up alternative story lines to soften the blow but until the show airs tomorrow, FileXxX has as much right to wishful thinking as everyone else has to their "evidence/fact" based opinions of doom, despair and disgust.

Making an argument "play better" dosent make it not be an argument for example and it isn't the particular lines in most cases people are unhappy with as much as it is the story they have chosen to tell.
