LOL. Well, they changed her mind into not wanting kids in a 'snap your fingers' kind of way... 1 minute ago, Sah said: Then why give us a convincing I don't want kids story arch. Seems like time wasted if they suddenly want her to happily have kids. If that is what they wanted in the end they should have used some time to show changing of mind. I still hope they stick to the no kids arch, but who knows. This will be as unrealistic to me as some people feel about Shamy and the Nobel if she suddenly expresses a strong desire to have kids. There was nothing convincing about that in my eyes. It was a sudden flip out of thin air. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see Sheldon and Amy not winning the Nobel this time. The people at the Nobel Prize may decide they don't trust any of them after the whole thing with Pemberton even though it wasn't Sheldon and Amy fault. It may be that the season finale of Young Sheldon (airing af after the Series Finale) will give us a hint as to when (or if ever) Sheldon and Amy do eventually win a Nobel if they don't get one in the series finale.

SRAM Posted May 10, 2019 Posted May 10, 2019 It seems ridiculous to me that the one woman on the show that has shown repeatedly to have the best instincts to be a mother is the one who doesn’t want kids. Bernadette never wanted kids and it almost submarined her marriage but she now has two. Amy at first wanted kids to experiment on with Sheldon, but now because the purposeful overlap of TBBT and YS we know Shamy will have kids too. However, Penny who as mothered the guys throughout the series, heck the first three seasons could just as well been called “Penny and her Nerds” instead of TBBT, suddenly does not want anything to do with kids. I’m really hoping that in the final we find that she is just scared, scared because life is moving on and she again feels unready, that would fit her character and it would allow Leonard to help her get over her fear. So, in the end, their secret is that Penny is pregnant and they are both happy about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KripkeRules Posted May 10, 2019 Posted May 10, 2019 I think it's really ironic that they could write decent storylines for Stuart and Denise: we saw their development, their fight, their make-up, and their ILUs. Yet, at the same time, they couldn't put the same effort into writing Raj and Anu... Actually how hard was that? Let me see: Anu could be a huge fan of Sandra Bullock, she could dance like Beyonce in "single ladies", she could quote any romantic movies, and she could cook better than Raj...And, when the time comes, she could propose to Raj like Sandra Bullock did in the movie "The Proposal"....... Just like Denise, being a weirdo herself, was a huge fan of comic books, knew every reference that Stuart said, loved him for he was, and was willing to have a future with Stuart. Sigh, once again, this differential treatment told me that when TPTB WANT to do something, they really CAN do it right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is sort of more painful are to see all the ads and stories about it coming to an end, treating it like a celebration when some of us feel like it is a funeral of an old friend.

I agree with your frustation. They went through this no kids storyline and it just faded out. I felt the whole Zac surrogacy thing was pointless. However, a possible relevation could be she unintentionally gets pregnant. Penny freaks out and Leonard tries to stay calm and keep the secret. I could imagine some funny comedy with the plot line. Something happens in the final episode then ultimately she decides to have the baby after all cue the final tag scene perhaps. I know not everyone agrees, but at least it is a happy ending for the couple. Also, think it harps back to Leonards famous saying in the pilot 'our children will be smart and beautiful'.

As for them keeping someone else's secret that is done ALL THE TIME on this show, usually unsuccessfully, as in the recent secret of Leonard trying to report the plagiarism and Penny finally spilling to Amy. 4 hours ago, MTBigBangTheoryFan said: I could see Sheldon and Amy not winning the Nobel this time.

People do change their minds and accidents do happen. There are many people who don't want children that end up pregnant and are often times end up love being a parent The First Child is often not planned.

If they do that they've been screwing with the fans all season and it's not a nice thing to do, plus, I don't think they have time in the finale to handle that correctly and explain why things have changed for her. I could be wrong, it happens all the time, but I will be super pissed if the whole thing is resolved in a couple of minutes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
