Jonny Posted July 23, 2018 Posted July 23, 2018 (edited) The most egregious thing to come from that panel IMO was that Penny's job again is no closer to a resolution and yet as rightly pointed out to me by a friend that for the past couple of seasons we get a Penny hates her job storyline, scene or piece of dialogue in an episode and I bet we get another in Season 12. It's a plot device for other stories and yet it could actually provide a nice mini storyline arc (mainly for Penny but also could include her partner or friends as well) if done right and given some attention. Oh and the writers have me thinking that Leonard her husband who knows she is stuck in a job she hates absolutely kiboshed that career change with his Gates stunt.

Do you really believe their going to discuss Penny’s job? Shamy is suppose to have a honeymoon and Amy’s parents are suppose to visit the rest of the gang. Sheldon’s childhood friend from YS is suppose to be on this season. What have they mentioned for Lenny? Nothing I’ve heard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was also mention of that being continued at the end of Season 11.....And nothing for Leonard and Penny.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What have they mentioned for Lenny? Nothing I’ve heard I think the original point was that Penny's career is just a plot device. Gates Excitation was a terrible episode for Penny IMO. Leonard knew full well she hates her job and wanted the PR job, yet he went behind her back and his behavior could have potentially ruin her chances. He might not have done that intentionally but it didn't do her any favors either. It was for comedy and the writers don't take her career as seriously.

While I think he definitely shouldn't have gone behind her back, I think he was under the impression that Gates wouldn't know he was her husband so it wouldn't hurt his chances. He was convinced he would not meet Gates through Penny. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see how what Leonard did would effect her chance at the pr job. As she had already done the work needed. It was at the reception afterwards that Gates recognized Leonard. So unless he complained to Penny's boss about it which i think is unlikely .Then it had no effect on her chances of getting the pr job.All he did was embarrass Penny.

In normal times it would have happened like this, however the writers thought it would be funny with Leonard getting caught and being made out to be an uncaring husband. I'm wondering what anti Lenny crap will come out of that writers room this season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
