Shes always portrayed as the bad wolf. And poor Leonard. But he contributes just as much to their mundane lives. He should get off his backside too and show some interest in his wife's hobbies. They both should. Totally accurate statement. 100% agree! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was in reference to their banter over How many floors their are on the Apt. And Leonard’s like. So three right? And Penny’s like shut up.. It was fun and light hearted. So I think the tone between them is fine. Edited October 21, 2018 by 3ku11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tensor Posted October 21, 2018 Posted October 21, 2018 I didn't like the "shut up". I don't think she should have said it. Leonard politely explained what the situation was, and she blew him off. Not good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardly more profound dialogues. Mostly some supposedly funny punch lines, *haha. Character development on lowest level and almost free for far fetched interpretations. *Hooray!

bfm Posted October 21, 2018 Posted October 21, 2018 (edited) That "shut up" didn't bother me much because I took it as "I'm wrong, don't rub it in" and I think for Leonard it was mostly just amusing. What I didn't like is that before that Penny had an air of being trerribly bored and not wanting anything to do with Leonard and wanting him to not bother her. If the tone of her snarky comment on his joke was somewhat different and her body language as a whole was different I think the "shut up" would've been better recieved as well. The writers keep telling us that they're happy but they don't seem to be. Not that they look miserable, and they do have cute moments, but to me they mostly feel bored, disillusioned, unfulfilled. I'd say that if the writers want to portray a happy childless (by choice) couple they are doing a very lousy job. Childless (by choice) couples should not be happy with this representation, IMO. Then again, I have no idea what these writers are trying to do and I'm so tired of trying to understand it.

Well said, i think the writers seemed to think that the way they write Lenny is entertaining. But it rarely comes off that way most of it comes off being not funny. It doesn't help when what they write and how the audience perceives it doesn't mesh. Look at the second half of season ten for example. Alot of fans and even tv critics thought they where heading for a split. But the showrunners didn't see it that way they just thought is was funny and normal married stuff.

Not for one minute have I ever believed that. And I believe you're wrong. I think in the beginning they were. That being said I wouldn't mind if they're not. I would only hope that they would be written as they were up to S6. That's all. I think that now a days Lenny sucks. No, not because they don't have them do what I want them to, but because they are not written as well as they were written before.

TBF they have at times tried to replicate older episodes in style. But it has just turned out into Repeated Cannon. Alot of the episodes around S9-S11. You could argue you could place in any Season 6 episode. I dont think the problem is that the shows not like it was In S1-6. More lack of originality, or any real creative choices. In regards to Storytelling. The writing Since Season 9 has been very safe and Dull. I hope as it is the final season. The TPTB well take far more risks.
