Hate Lenny?
#3
Although I repeat myself here, I must use the opportunity to explain why I detest this "Lenny"-relationship. Puke


As mentioned, Penny shares Sheldon's fate regarding the long-term disassembly of her character. At the beginning she appeared as an independent and cheerful girl with goals and dreams for her life,was  just nice and cute, and above all, as a one. with honor and morality.
The facts that she threw the i-phone of her lover, because he had published intimate things, out the window and that she gave Underhill a kick , because he made her an advances, even though he was married, showed her as a girl who valued honesty and loyalty in a potential partnership.

Because of this simple things the coming-together with Leonard was already a problem at the root. Leonard was/is a liar, cheater and saboteur. So it was from the beginning an illogical, unralistic affair that she chose for him, because it completely contradicted their originally introduced character. Okay, the writers would probably bring the message "where love falls down", but there must be certain prerequisites for that, which was simply not the case with Leonard.

(In addition, Leonard - at least for me - appeared from the beginning as unsympathetic. At the pilot his reaction in the background when Sheldon Penny explaned his place showed that he thought Sheldon was embarrassing,....although Sheldon owned Penny's full attention.)

The writers realized this and tried to correct this with rewrite-maneuvers, which only did more damage. Some of the members mentioned it, that they wrote, (since season four, I believe) this lines which implied that Penny had already "laid out" the boy-friends of other girls. That should only have one sense: To let Leonard's mistakes apearred as not serious/heavier anymore.

According to the motto "they fit together becaus she isn't so clean either."

But they destroyed with it Penny's character, made it implausible-as to her first appearance- and as if that had not been bad enough, they let Penny mutaten in Leonard's presence, into a mindless toad.

There were this scenes (shame on my head, I didn't remember the titles): The one where they had a dispute and Leonard was, in front of her door, on his knees with a guitar, sang an idiotic line, and she went weak. The second where they were at a restaurant, where also one of Pennys ex-boyfriends was present, they became a dispute again, which continuied at Pennys apartment, Leonard  pretended to leave, turned around again, gave a narcissistic quote and Penny went with fateful face with him into the bedroom. Really, I hate this scenes, because they showed her as a brainless doll with only serfdom and no mind.

At the end she became Leonards wify with no own goals for her life.

The "Lenny" is a patchwork, an unrealistic, stubborn and forced thing, with no respect, tension  and attraction that only exists because the authors did not recognize the potential of  the"Shenny", or were just too lazy to put it dramaturgically into action.

Point.
