Why is Leonard in this story? A better question why a Halley story?

Because the power not to be can wrap the show up in one episode. Allegedly.The final. [emoji849] Only one story left to drag...... and wrap up. The other main characters are just minors. So desperate times calls for desperate measures. Sad really.

That's two very good questions!

Second that. I lol how Leonard is called wussy and whiny because of his upbringing, but stands tall when it matters, while the biggest whinger of all time. Sheldon is given a pass. Sheldon the wimp who runs away when the going get tough. Still laughing.

I’m surprised Kaley with all her horses doesn’t recognize when the writers are beating a dead horse with the Nobel storyline.I can understand why them not wanting a baby storyline. Is a storyline the last two weeks about imaginary kids any better?

I agree about the imaginary kids, although it looks like it possibly might be an amusing ensemble ep for some of the characters. But I don't think Kaley can do anything about the storylines. She gets paid big bucks to play what they pay her to play. It's just a job after all, even though it's an enjoyable job. She certainly isn't in any position to put her foot down at this point.

By the way, did anyone else find in amusing that Christine in the interview a few pages back took a minute to remember Johnny's character's name?

She must be fine with the story lines because she still really wants to continue this show.

Or maybe just the money

Not true, at least from my point of view! We don't know what she thinks. I believe she enjoys getting paid alot of money for a minute or two of work!

I wasn’t serious about the horse part(Kaley) just the storyline. As for Christine I have nothing against her I just don’t want to see Beverly. Rather see Mary.

I Want to see them both and most likely we will, unless Laurie’s schedule makes that impossible. I hope they are on-stage. The Skype stuff never really interests me much, which is probably why I have no interest in Raj’s parents.Actually I can think of one exception -the Priya breakup - which kind of showed the limitations of Skype.

Unfortunately IMO there presence will be related to the Shamy storyline.

I would be surprised if it isn’t.

Thank you very much, I haven't heard about anything, but I'm going to check this out, I love Melissa's acting very much, and I'm interested in seeing her on other shows.

BTW, LOVE her voice-over of Harley Quinn!!!

I've been saying "happy pi day" all day long.  Mostly getting "huh??" as a response.....

Perhaps you live where the date is 14/03 ? Hint : it's only pi day in countries where they write the date backwards. LOL

I became a big convert to this system, when I was in Europe, it makes so much more sense (as does the metric).  Alas, I came back to the states and I confused everyone.

Yeah your probably right, but it is the series final. May as well bring back all the past characters. It should be a celebration, not a wake hopefully. 

Yeah I Think as far as succesfull relationships goes Lenny is pretty high up their. Kids thing only thing that hamstrings their relationship. They are young, have solid careers, are not restricted by any other variables. Have their indepedence. So all good. 

Don't forget love...they have a sucessful loving relationship. I think they were meant to be together.

I have never understood the Shipping Wars. Shamy and Lenny are both unique and phenominal in their own way.

I have to keep doing double-takes when I read dates for taping and transmission of TBBT and sometimes I still get it muddled.  Why the fifth day of the fourth month has to be written as 04/05 bewilders me.

Because in the US, we say it's April 5th (2019) not 5th of April in general (well we say that but only in certain conversations)

I'm with you on this. However, the development was foreseeable for a long time. The igniting spark, which has marked this series, is unfortunately more and more painfully missed by many of us.

If the two main couples had more of an equal amount of stories there would be much less “shipping wars”. Unfortunately  that hasn’t occurred for 5-6 years.

We say it either way if we're using the name of the month but if we're using numbers we say 'fifth of the fourth'. Also, we use the word 'the' in speech such as 'the fifth of  November' or 'October the thirty first' but we omit the 'the' when writing. On a letter we'd put 'Friday,3rd March, 2009' under the address and phone number of the sender.
