Leonard's concept of love is pretty twisted. He's used it to tear her down to nothing. Now he's going to rebuild her into a better more Leonard-friendly Penny, with nobody competing with him for her attention. If when we meet up with them again in September they are happily planning their future, then we'll know that we are dealing with a very different Penny than the one we fell in love with. And it's a Penny we aren't going to even like.
Agreed. Penny is becoming more and more of a pushover with every episode. This may sound biased, but the only time I've notice a bit of her "take no crap" attitude is when she is teamed up with Sheldon. The other girls seem to be singling her out and Raj, Howard and Sheldon are busy doing whatever, which just leaves Leonard. The Lenny scenes aren't even funny. Leonard gets away with murder in terms of being a crappy, unsupportive boyfriend. And from past episodes this season, any type of positive support he shows her will be seen as bullshit to me.
It's obvious that she needs to be around people outside of this group.
