Sah Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 (edited) Why would Leonard continue living next to Sheldon as he has complained about him for years has a negative connotation in my mind. That he is that bad that Leonard would move away. If you are talking about about moving away for other reasons and having a nice talk about about being neighbors and friends for so long and they will miss each other I am ok with. But just to get away from him is mean. In no way would I be ok with Sheldon being seen as being annoying or not worthy of these friendships and especially Leonard's. If there is a move all should be at peace with it. Edited March 21, 2019 by Sah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it would go that way if they were to move away, which again they're probably not. Sheldon, like everyone, has qualities that others enjoy and some that are harder to deal with. He can be demanding and had established a relationship with Leonard where he has certain requirements that can be hard to deal with. That doesn't mean he's unworthy of the friendship, but a change of dynamics could be beneficial for both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he’s also a handful, so it would be nice for Lenny to have a little break from him after all those years. Nothing negative, just change of pace, and that, as @bfm stated, could really help their friendship. Perhaps Shamy move away to raise their kids which would be a natural/neutral parting of the ways. No ends up the laughing stock leaving people saying thank God he ditched him! Leaving a negative view on him for the final episode. Heartwarming finale. Not a glad to be rid of him finale.

It's a convenient time for Shamy to start trying so they're likely to be moving. Stuart looks as though he soon might be able to afford to leave Howardette's place if the book does well. Lenny are perhaps going to be the one couple in five who don't have children, although Penny could change her mind. There's a month yet for it all to be settled.

insomniak Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Ok so everyone seems to be interested in the leonard story, here's the 30,000 foot view. I wont give a play by play spoiler but it should be enough So, episode opens with The gang on the couch, similar to "olden times" :). They were discussing what movie to go to and where/when to eat dinner. Everyone had an opinion and Leonard did not want to eat late at night. Sheldon argued with him, Leo caved and the entire group told him he as "satisifier", as somone who does whatever anyone else wants to take the least path of resistance. Afterwards, Penny continued to push Leo to see that the group is correct and to start doing what makes him happy, and to not take penny's feelings into account for things he wants to do. So, Penny tells Leo to pick an activitiy, and he struggles with that. He also shows Sheldon the "new strong" Leo and takes a new way to work (or home, or somewhere, I don't remember) which frightens Sheldon. What the real Pivot point of the episode in my opinion was that Leonard feels his job is inadequate, and he is unhappy. He writes a proposal to President Sibert (spelling) about leading up a plasma physics team, and he was not willing to take no for answer even if that meant leaving the university. Penny found out and was rather upset, as any wife would when her husbands job might be in jeopardy and he argues with her about it. In the end, President siebert said no and Leonard walked out. The show ended with Penny discussing what happened with Leonard and it was revealed that after Leonard walked out, Siebert said they didn't want to loose him so gave him a Co-lead position on a different "study" (don't remember what is was about). Leonard was happy with that and that he stood up for himself. My take on this: I feel they could have filmed an alternate ending, where Leonard was NOT offered a different position and come to find out that Leonard is going to leave to go to a different university. IT would be a befitting ending to the show's dynamic, as he would be the first of the 4 to leave the university which could the the "end event". Let me know if what I posted does not make sense.

bfm Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 (edited) Thank you so much @insomniak!!! That was very generous of you. They have touched on Leonard being a "satisfier" before, and we have seen him do things he wants with Penny so that sounds like a bit of a step back, but the job thing is new and good for him for finally getting something. 8 minutes ago, luminous said: This is what Kaley said about the finale: "We were told that we're actually going to pre-shoot the whole thing.

I don't think a smart and beautiful Lenny baby it endgame. I don't think the writers even remember that line or ever took it seriously, at least not since they did the two kids for Howardette.

TPTBs, I'm pretty sure, will have heard it very well. The bubble, they are supposed to live and work in, has turned out to be absurd since the strange development of Sheldon and Amy, that was a direct reaction to the fan base.

When people have kids they will usually go from a place apartment to house. That is all. If Lenny does get to move, I would want it to be because of a fantastic job opportunity or even a surprise baby. I was not trying to take a dig. I am sorry if you took it that way... I highly doubt Lenny will move, they are glued firmly or perhaps even welded to the holy kitchen island in 4A by the TPTB.
