Closure on several items. Most notability Tenure. Maybe Penny pregnant. She doesn't have to have the baby, just an announcement. That announcement can come in any episode 2 thru 24. It really doesn't matter when.

Thanks for sharing your ideas. Regards Penny having a baby, I would like to see at least one scene where we saw her and Leonard interacting with a child, he could be a todler. It would be a nice closure about the lenny babies line. Actually I think we will only see children in final episode.

Anyway, we have more 23 tapings to go and we have already known from S12 Ep1 taping. So:

What do you expect to see from characters lives told in the show before last episode?

A pregnant Penny is high up on my wishlist and a trip to Nebraska for Lenny would also be so nice. Lenny could travel to Nebraska and in front of her parents does Penny reveal that she is indeed pregnant.

It sounds very sweet. I would like to see it :)

I would like to see the gang projected towards a new phase in their lives, for example the main couples living in their own house and Raj, Sheldon, Amy and Leonard getting tenure in some institution (maybe not in the same area). My ideal end of the series would be Lenny and Shamy leaving their apartment and then, maybe with a flash forward, we see how they live in a few years and, of course, the smart and beautiful babies. Also, I would like for Raj to finally accomplish something good.

I know you're referring to Leonard and Penny (I'm all for those "smart and beautiful" babies), but it has me wondering if we'll see a glimpse of Halley and Michael in the final episode(s). I'm also curious to see what they do with Raj. I'm not really sure that he has to end up with someone. Personally, I'd like to see Lucy or Emily back, although others would probably like to see Yvette the vet return. If they develop a new love interest for him, I hope that it doesn't feel rushed. I would love some new developments for Penny, i.e., a return to acting, a PR position, further backstory, the return/introduction of family members, etc. I'm hoping for episodes featuring our favorite recurring cast members, perhaps another dinner scene or two at the Cheesecake Factory, and the elevator fixed by the series' end.

Basically my thoughts for the end of the series. I also would like for Raj a more mature behavior from him in his life choices. And it would not mean imo he needed to find a woman.

I second that! Regards the elevator I can see it fixed like a way to really "close" the show forever. After all, our boys now know how to fix many stuff they didn't in beginning of the show ;)

Also, what about the screenplay Penny mentioned in the pilot episode? It could be interesting for her to rediscover that, dust it off, and find some success with it. Could Penny serve as a mentor for a young actress just starting out? Perhaps she has to take a colleague under her wing, the girl is offered a bit in a commercial for Zangen, and Penny tries to show her the ropes, only for Penny to come out on top, thus making her reevaluate her career choices.

He has accomplished something in work. He was in People Magazine in the 30 under 30 story line, as well as stealing the comet discovery from Penny. It's his love life that continues to plummet!

That idea has some merit!

I would like to see Lenny with a child (I prefer a girl but it's not important) but I won't put my money on it happening. 

My number one proprity is a Lenny pregnancy or seeing them having a child/children in the future. I would be VERY upset if that didn't happen.

My second priority (although far less important to me) is show some potential for Raj, he doesn't have to end up married or engaged but maybe someone that gives us hope he will not blow it off with her. 

The elevator fixed would be nice, I think many expect it.

One thing that isn't important to me at all to know is Penny's maiden surname.

Yep, gone 11 years without knowing, don't need to know now! Besides her name now is Penelope (Penny) Hofstadter! Or more importantly Mrs. Dr. Leonard Hofstadter. What's funny her name is the only married name not hyphenated?

The real reason is they didn't want to give her a maiden name. The in-story excuse they could make is that she either didn't like her maiden name, it was too long hyphenated and she wanted to have the same name as Leonard and/or her future child/ren, or that she is more traditional in that aspect.

For every character to be in happy places  😊 

Do you mean the spin off? Well, it doesnt  make me happier as I am not much into spin offs. I started to watch "Young Sheldon " but I am not sure I will keep watching... 

So I will be a happy tbbt fan as each of these characters may have a nice and interisting ending. They deserve it and so do we, fans and viewers :)

Removed earlier post because it was too much confuse. My apologies for that

Here is what I would like to see happen in the final season:

1. Penny gets a sales award and is offered the PR position she covets

2. Leonard is offered either the Physics Chairmanship or a Professorship. Maybe after winning the Nobel prize sharing it with Sheldon   (This should really rankle Sheldon)

3. Penny getting pregnant  Not too early in the season, possibly mid-way to the end and then giving birth

4. Seeing Penny's parents again. Either when P&L visit them in Nebraska or they come to Calif. to help Penny upon giving birth.

5. Priya returns bringing along a friend with her who falls for Raj and he just might get a permanent girlfriend

6. Have the elevator fixed so Penny does not have to climb the stairs while pregnant.

7. Reveal Penny's maiden name (optional)

May I just say that I'm slightly worried about what could come out after the show is over.For example,I don't want to read that Galecki and Parsons can't stand each other or something like that . I'm not saying they should all be best friends but it just ruins it for me.This has happened with before.

I am not worried at all. If it comes out later that Galecki and Parsons couldn't stand each other it would not ruin the show for me: the writers already took care of that and have been doing so for the past few seasons. I am old enough not to believe everything I hear, specially from actors whose job is to lie for a living. If you hear them talk in the special features on a movie disc (DVD or Blu-ray) whichever movie it is they always say that it is the best movie they've ever done with the best co-workers, and the best director. No matter how much you want to believe them you know it can't be always true. I limit myself to what I see on the screen, and derive my enjoyment or lack thereof from the material.

In regards to the elevator I would love to see it getting fixed as they are leaving for their respective new residences, and look at each other and say: " Really!?!?!?!?!?!?! "

I was today years old when I found out Penny’s name is actually Penelope. Literally just found out and it sounds so odd? It’s like Kaley said at comic con in 2017, her character is just like a one word name, Penelope sounds so weird😂

Her name Penelope was mentioned in season 2 episode the Barbarian episode. It was her on line gaming name.

Isn't Penny always short for Penelope ? I have never known anybody just given the name Penny.

In the last season I want to see Raj finally find someone and not screw it up by being a total ass. Double points if she's from India and they go back to India. I want to see Stuart finally succeed at something. If not his art, then he should find a million dollar comic book or some amazing fandom souvenir. I want the elevator fixed. I want to know what happens with everyone's careers.

I DO NOT CARE about Penny's last name, I don't want to see any more babies from anyone, and I don't care if we see Howardette's kids at all
