What is strange about Stuart is that he starts off as a talented artist who perfectly draws Penny and he is quite confident and actually gets a date with Penny. But then he becomes a self-deprecating guy who ends up practically homeless

[MTTT]

I like to think that Stuart created a comic book that became a big hit and was eventually adapted into a TV series. It later turns out that it’s an over exaggerated adaptation of his friends.

In season 2 episode 18, Penny receives a shipment when she orders the flowers for her hair clips (Penny Blossoms). On the box you see her last name: Teller. Apparently it was said that the writers are big fans of Penn & Teller & as an ode to the comedic magician duo, since her first name already has "Penn" in it, her last name naturally would be Teller. Later on Teller ends up playing Amy's dad who seldom speaks! 😂

I always hated how Stephanie just disappeared in the show. Of course I wanted Leonard to end up with Penny, but she was my favorite of his exes

[thembelihlememela]

That slap was definitely more for Leonard than it was to bring back Sheldon from the disbelief spiral 🤣🤣

[abigailjess]

I will never forgive the show for not giving raj the romantic comedy romance he's been wanting. Even stuart who isn't even apart of the original gang ended up with someone, but not raj. I hope they do a 10 episode special (cough HBO cough paramount plus cough) showing raj having his dream meet cute and wedding

To the question of the kind of dad Sheldon will make, I just want to say that one of the stand-out highlights of Young Sheldon for me has been watching just how deeply George Sr. really cares for each child, including Sheldon. I think Sheldon actually has a great role model in his dad.

[thesourpatchkidd]

I actually never realized he and Stephanie never had an on screen breakup until you guys pointed it out lol the last thing we heard was he was going to sleep with her again

[thesourpatchkidd]

If there were two things that disappointed me about the show it's that Penny got pregnant in the final episode after being very clear that she didn't want kids, which was clearly a fan service thing (not sure if fans were actually happy with that, because I wasn't) and that Raj never got the happy ending he always wanted.

[JohanneJA]

I wish they had mixed Amy's, Penny's and the guys furniture, after they had moved around.
It would have been so cool to see new apartment designs

[tbecker]

Penny has a way of *grounding the guys. Keeping things real and down-to-earth.*

[ArtemisArrow]

9:18 I think we can all agree Leonard had been holding that slap for Sheldon in for 12 seasons😂😂😂

[Nebraska]

I really wish they had Leonard's experiment prove Sheldon's and Amy's theory. It would have have been a good balance to Leonard disproving an early theory by Sheldon. They could have shared the Nobel Prize and Sheldon could have finally showed appreciation for Leonard as a scientist.

[leogrrrl]

The alien pin on Howard's turtle neck is probably a reference to Star Trek. The characters from that show have little studs on their collar that probably indicate rank.

& one thing that usually doesn’t get pointed out is that Bernadette's character changes early on. She's suddenly more confident & brash than first depicted.

[vidyakunnath]

Penny might be Penelope. That was what she named her video game character. Also I was curious to know what happened between Dr Gablehauser and Sheldon's mum!!

[sonicguyver]

I thought it was sweet finding out how well loved Carol Ann Susi was on the Big Bang set. They talked about how after she died it took them time to process it and how to explain it in the show. I personally thought it was very touching how they worked it in. By having her pass peacefully while away avoided a lot of potentially uncomfortable story ideas. Instead the phone call let us feel the effect without dealing with her personally. Howard's own reaction was gut wrenching for how real it felt. When he says he's never going to be able to talk to her again or how upset he was at himself for not driving her to the airport, the last time he would have seen her. Even Sheldon got some wonderful moments, like saying how when his own father died he didn't have any friends to support him but Howard does. Or that clip where he says her yelling was annoying but he's going to miss it. I'm tearing up a little just thinking about it.

[carolmk]

Raj not having a partner and a daughter he can spoil. He was so excited when Halle came along.

[annasparrow]

I like the whole Penny not being sure about kids, going back and forth with the decision and being happy in the end when it happened (it's kinda obvious it wasn't planned, like how many references to her checking pregnancy test in panic were there lol). She was young, focused on her looks, scared of commitment, let alone being a parent. She matured over those 12 years, started feeling better about herself, more secure in the relationship, more confident in her job.

She only said that maybe she didn't want to have kids at all when someone pushed her - first Bernadette and Amy, then Leonard, show me something that screams defense more than that.

[marielaausher]

Never understood why they chose to get Penny pregnant in those last episodes. She made it clear many times that she didn't want to have kids. She was okay with caring and loving her friends' kids, but she didn't want any of her own.
It didn't even feel like she wanted to be a mother in those last episodes because she was so doubtful and scared about it. It felt more like she just accepted her fate rather than wanting to be a mother.
I always felt like Penny getting pregnant was more to get Leonard a happy ending than for her.

I love this show but it also frustrates me to no end. Here are some of the reasons why:
1)Why did they regress Howard and Sheldon's relationship in the later seasons. After semi-making up, yhey had a fun dynamic and also quite a bit in common: fathers left/died when they were young, single mama and the troubles that has(seeing them move on with other ppl), both consider themselves the alphas of their duos, etc
2) Why did it feel, in general, that they regressed the gang's friendship in the later seasons. To me, towards the end they barely felt like friends, like they cared for each other. They were hostile to each other in not a very funny way.
3) Sheldon should've cared more when he found out Penny was pregnant, regardless of what was going on in his life. They had a sibling like relationship, closer than his actual siblings, so he really should've cared more. Jokes could even have been made about how elated he was and how absurd that was for him.
4) Raj was done dirty. Left in limbo. Everyone developed, he didn't. He definitely deserved more, especially in the relationship sector, seeing as how much he'd always wanted to find true love.
5) Leonard and his mom's relationship always returned to square one each time she visited, no matter how much she'd change during each visit.
6) Pennh and Leonard seemed to be quite a missmatched couple by the end of the show. I feel a better direction to have taken them in was each discovering that they liked the idea of being together but it just wouldn't work out for them. Leonard realises he's chased Penny for years but being together isn't really working. Penny discovers she's with Leonard out of some feeling of pity or sth. They each then find a different better love interest and learn to be OK with it.


Just a few thoughts 😅
