Well, I wouldn't because I feel that couples should discuss these things together. Not that there would be much humor in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that the case then she should not be leading him on that way and should be upfront with him. The longer it goes on the worst it becomes. I remember the one when they all did karaoke Penny said she wanted kids some day after Leonard had asked her. It was the one Bernadette announced she was pregnant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She kept saying maybe someday, until after the ep where Bernie is on bed rest and Penny helps take care of her and Halley. I often wondered if seeing Bernie in that state ever had anything to do with her changing her mind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario D. Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 3 hours ago, MTBigBangTheoryFan said: I wonder if Penny would go for adopting a Baby? Sure it wouldn’t be biological/blood and not carry a combination of their DNA but that doesn’t mean they couldn’t love the child any less if it isn’t their own. I think Leonard would love the child and raise it like it his own and not treat it any differently. They also may be helping someone Nonetheless, I still think Penny will end up Pregnant on the series finale. And possibly Amy too. I think this depends on what she tells Leonard about not wanting children Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't really know Penny's reasons. If they said they wanted to save an older child from misery, perhaps a gifted one whose education the care system couldn't afford to support, and whose foster parents didn't understand,they might get away with that, provided they had somewhere more appropriate to live. Imagine the court social worker interviewing their friends for the home study. (Shades of the time the secret service took up Howard's references.) They could get all that into an episode in 18 minutes 22 seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are, sometime, life consuming projects. Sheldon got two because he had plenty of time for himself. That’s kind of an indicator of his ability to focus on task and not see the rest of the world. I think it’d be like Howard secretly nurturing a third child. So, unlikely I want him to be head-hunted by Bezos or Musk and get aerospace stock in the next tech wave. Take that Big Pharma Bernadette! Further, I agree with you on this. Being head hunted by Musk or Bezos would be extremely cool for Howard. I hope we meet his father even more though.

I not sure that was really ever a priority for The Producers and Writers. I would have like ot have seen Howard father. I think Howard Half Brother is the closest we are gonna get. Personally I think it would have been more interesting if Howard Father had showed up while His Mom was still living. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I think it would have been more interesting if Howard Father had showed up while His Mom was still living. Quite possible for Howards Father to show up in the series Final. Which would make sense to wrap things up for that character, bit of drama too. Seeing they can easily wrap this show up in one episode since Season 7. They could easily wrap up long term storylines in the finalie. I think Penny well give birth, I am not sure about Shamy but who knows. I Think Penny well get a job offer, I Think the Elevator well get fixed. I always suggested be funny. IF when they are leaving. Lenny find an house, and get ready to leave Pasadena. And they all go in the fixed Elevator. And it breaks down LOL. Then you would have some flash forwards. I would also love a tag at the end. Kinda like when the credits roll after a movie. They cut to a reimaginaing of the first scene between Shelnard and Penny. This time you've got a Hot Guy, and Two geeky girls come across and say Hello. Camera Fades black....

bfm Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 (edited) 8 hours ago, Jonny said: No, I think they need to have this discussion and resolve it once and for all, instead of pussyfooting around for fear of hurting the other. Not talking about it results in ideas like agreeing to be a donor for your wife's ex-husband and a counter move in trying to sabotage that donation. I think both stances are perfectly reasonable and I don't think that either of them should budge on the issue purely to please the other. If Penny doesn't ever want kids that's fine, if Leonard has to have kids then that's also fine and so we know where they both stand and what their options are going forward. I do think there should be a discussion, what I was saying is that I could see Leonard being made the bad guy if he starts it.

I don't think its superficial her reasons. I Think she is very insecure. And is still really effected by her own childhood and upbringing. She also see's how Beverly raised Leonard. And of course she is a free spirited independent. So that probably has alot to do with her decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides that she always maintained she had a wonderful childhood. You would think with Leonard’s childhood she would want to give him a chance to right a wrong.

But these characters have been in my life since I Was 19. I remember coming home after a tough year in 2008, studying away. And being in my room, and this show The Big Bang Theory came on for the very first time in NZ. I Was like Bridgett! LOL. I fell in love with the shows refreshing breakdown of sitcom tropes. So be bittersweet when the show ends. Its funny I grew up with Friends in the 90s, when I was still in Primary School lol. Never thought another Generational Sitcom would come along like TBBT did.
