Yeah I’m just gonna celebrate and enjoy. I’m gonna avoid overanalysing and nitpicking every mistake the writers made. They gave me great enjoyment over 12 seasons, despite a few howlers. I’m burying the hatchet and remembering all the good things about these characters I’ve grown to love. Nothing’s perfect in life, certainly not the writing of a sitcom. I finished today very content.

I remember a time when you'd write long hateful rants so that's good to see. ;)

But yeah, overall I'm also rather happy. It's more that I'm annoyed with the season itself rather than the finale. For everything else there's always fix-it-fanfic. lol

Hahaha, so I know you will be happy about Shamy's Nobel Prize, my friend, you know,  just because. 

I know I am. LOL.

I'm happy that at least one season-long storyline lead to something. LOL

Wasn’t aimed at you in particular April, just the timing of my post. This year I’ve definitely had a few rants, not sure I’d classify them as hateful, definitely critical of the writers, but I also wrote some long rants about getting over it too. And over a much longer period of the 7 years I’ve been here I’ve been one of the more positive long ranters [emoji12]

But yeah, with the finale, I’m just in the mood to rejoice. I get others aren’t as happy. Alls fair in the world of internet opinion. [emoji1303]

Someone wrote, I don’t remember who, on the forum that they felt that after seeing those episodes Penny’s saying that she didn’t want kids that her conviction did not seem strong enough to mean it was a done deal.  I guess they were right.

The rants I'm thinking about were more last year, I think, when you were in a bad head space and we had a little clash. It's a bit tongue in cheek, nothing negative. I enjoy your positive attitude.

You know what I was thinking, instead of a reboot, a TBBT movie in a year or two would be great.  Since it wouldn’t take a lot of the actors time, not like doing a TV series, they would probably be ALL in for it.

Not everyone watched for Lenny.

I never said everyone watched for Lenny. The Lenny Shippers did. If you check my post, you'll see that I referenced them as being happy with the Penny pregnancy. Have a nice day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah I’m 99% Easy going and 1% pit bull. I think my first post here way back was a short good natured but spirited joust with Lionne that ended fine. Can’t say I recall our clash[emoji16]. I hope it ended well. I generally avoid offending. That’s my Leonard side - but my Sheldon side occasionally breaks through.

Yeah, in the last one with Wyatt, she didn't seem so adamant about no kids!

Haha yeah... I guess now we're just gonna have to live with the mistakes they've made, no matter how annoying they may be. It's just hard to forget about the thing that had made me so upset, it was the major issue that led me to kind of stop watching (or maybe half-watch is a better term, I watched some episodes partly, I think there's only one I didn't watch entirely).

I am glad they did end with warm and happy feelings :) We all know not every show managed to do that haha

Or maybe I'm mixing something up, who knows. haha

Since I don't watch any other shows with the same dedication and patience, and I have rarely been impressed by series in the past, I can't and don't want to make any quality comparisons. So far I can only say, today's ending has moved me very, very much and it actually reconciled me from the bad feeling with the remaining episodes in S12.
It will probably take me a while to make a final judgement. 🙂

Probably my last post here so here we go:

IMO the end was sweet and moving. It was not perfect as there were weird twists to some plotlines if theey were the ideas from writers since the beginning of the season to give closure to what we could see from these characters lives though.

So I laughed, smiled, melted, gasped and even got teary eyed as the episode 24 ended. It was an excellent choice as the end seemed open to more.  After all these characters were portrayed and written  like they were real people from thesedays  and in real life, we cant say certainly how things will be always for us. Life happens :)

Bing bang theory eternal love ❤

I was referring to some well known controversial endings. For example, I know there was controversy over the "Lost" finale, without having watched it. I did watch "How i Met Your Mother", which may had one of the most controversial finales among the sitcoms of the latest decades.

I think drawing any comparisons to other series are pretty far-fetched. TBBT is unique. There is no competition for me. 🙂

‘The Big Bang Theory’ Series Finale Reveals Big News, Ends on Emotional Note From Sheldon Cooper

“It feels not like a finale so much as a transition. Life goes on. We’re leaving them, they’re not leaving us. We’re not blowing the show up at the end. We’re just moving away,” said Lorre.

@spidergirl :  Your post brought yet more tears.  As we have come to "the end" we will begin to fall away from something that for better or worse has sort of become our online home for TBBT content.  We agree; we disagree; we argue; we make-up (and sometimes don't), but we all have something in common:  our love for this (as Mrs. Wolowitz would say) furcocktah television show. 

I just want to say now that I wish every single one of you as we make our exit (whenever we do so) peace, joy, love and happiness!!!

Kinda feels like trying to think of the things that go in the characters "mind" is (sometimes) a waste of time because it can be so arbitrary, with no real reason grounded in the way the character thinks and feels

Of course. It is just light fluff. A series of laughs mostly.
