Sooo....

Howard slept with his cousin, and the cousin is now dating Stuart, but Stuart is Howard's father because he lives with Howard's mother, but he's also Howard's mother's son, because he's Howard's replacement, so that makes him Howard's brother, so Howard and his brother both screwed Howard's cousin, and Stuart is Howard's cousin-in-law. Bernadette is Howard's mother, which makes him a motherf*cker, and Leonard & Penny are Sheldon's parents, except Leonard's mother kissed Sheldon, and Amy has replaced Sheldon's mother and grandmother....

Oh, but Shenny can't happen because Penny is Sheldon's sister AND his mother...

• actual plots
  
• interaction amongst the main 5
  
• Howard/Raj friendship
  
• Sheldon/Penny friendship
  
• Good *minor* characters like Leslie, Kripke, Missy, Ramona, other people from Cal-Tech, Mary Cooper, Raj's parents, etc. And I prefer Stuart as a minor character, the sweet guy who asked out Penny, not whatever the hell he is now.
  
• Science
  
• A clue

Are we intending to repopulate the planet after the flood waters die down?

5 motherfucking (apt curse word there) couples!

This show struggles (all shows struggle, except MASH possibly) with more than five regular characters, now they've got TEN?

Even in the golden age of Season 1-3, the best episodes were the ones with a single central plot involving all of them - Penny gets involved in online gaming, Sheldon learns to drive, Sheldon gives a speech, the guys build a robot, Penny and Sheldon fight - OR - Plot A) Sheldon/Penny, Plot B) Leonard/Raj/Howard (Adhesive Duck, Work Song, Vegas, Pancake Batter etc)

The problems that have been caused by adding more characters cannot be fixed by adding even more! Why not just throw a bucket of water on a drowning man whilst you're at it!

*exit spluttering in disbelief*

I'll take boring over actively awful, though. I just know they'll do a poor job of dealing with Carol Ann Susi's death, if they decide to write that into the show.

We all know babies and weddings are coming, but what I, personally, dread, are more messages about how the guys are better-off now and they'd be miserable without their wives/girlfriends. You know it's coming.

I'm sure TPTB have many more ways of breaking my heart, up their sleeve, but I don't intend to hear about it...

Still thinking something happens with Penny's job and she gets close to a guy at work. Would really be something if Sheldon gets close to another woman he meets at Caltech, but I doubt TPTB will go there.
