They could replace Jim and Kaley with anyone and get the same results, but NO, they insist on squandering two actors which have proved they really should be doing better things. That finale was depressing and faintly optimistic at the same time... At least Stuart's got someone to keep him busy and keep him company, but watch the writers drop THAT vaguely promising arc by season 8. As for Sheldon running away, did anyone find it completely out of character for Sheldon to "live off the land"? I know it's normal for post s5 Sheldon to be a shambling, ditzy mess, but there is NO WAY he'd just take off like that without at least classifying his SUITCASE full of clothes.
Ughhh... Why do I bother?
I know what you mean. The inconsistencies in character are far too frequent now. It's a sign of sloppy writing. They no longer think they have to try to maintain a consistent whole. Sheldon used to have a set of principles and idiosyncrasies, they have deviated from this so far that I find it impossible to judge what he would do next.
Does anyone remember the scene where he was labelling and applying bar codes to his socks before they go away for the weekend? I don't recognise the Sheldon they had sitting at the train station in 7.24 with no case, not even wearing his messenger bag and even the way he was sitting. It wasn't Sheldon.
