I know I haven't been around for a while. I had a meltdown on BBT after watching Gorilla and have spent the last few weeks trying to gather my thoughts on everything I felt that was so creepy wrong and offensive about this episode. However, after the tragedy out here it makes the stuff in the episode take backseat and in it's own way highlights BBT's biggest problem, Entitlement.
I know many of you have been talking about what this tragedy might mean for the show, and I would love to say that Lorre and Company will have a change of heart and actually deal with the asinine premise that anybody DESERVES anything they want, especially a person and all you have to do is stalk, harass, belittle, manipulate, or keep the person drunk you feel like you deserve and they'll eventually change their minds and love you back. Unfortunately, I have a feeling other then some bland twitter statements of sadness I doubt the show will change since they'll fall back on the show is a comedy and not meant to be taken seriously by anyone. So unless the big three (especially Kaley) tell them they won't resign a new contract unless certain things (like Leonard & Amy always being rewarded when doing wrong and creepy things) next season will (to most of us) will be just one long commercial to certain people that if you feel like you deserve someone, go for it, and remember all is fair in love and war, so whatever you have to do will be forgiven once they love you.
