SPOILERS: What fresh hell is this? - S10

[Idle Miscreant]

It's precisely because they robbed the characters of their individuality that things like "write the couple out" can even be said. Penny used to be her own character, with a personal life, and the majority of her scenes equally split between Sheldon and Leonard (far more Sheldon in the first 4 years), allowing her to demonstrate a variety of emotions and comedic styles. Sheldon's character always allowed for the widest range in Penny's mood repertoire...But she has no scenes with him anymore, and has been demoted to Hausfrau Hofstadter.
So indeed, it does seem as though she is now disposable. Well done Warner Brothers. Another notch on your gun-belt.

A reminder of the origins of this show.



Given that Sheldon is no longer "smart", and once they remove Penny the show will no longer be "sexy", they may have to alter that tagline.
In fact, as Sheldon is essentially unrecognisable now, and if Penny and Leonard scarper, I cannot fathom in what universe this is still "The Big Bang Theory"...

Just call it "Blossom: The Marriage Years" and be done with it.
