Flying Monkey said it best in the grumblebox. To paraphrase, it's like being told the last chapter half-way through the story. We knew the end of this fucker years ago. Season 5 and 6 made it obnoxiously obvious that the endgame of this show was going to be marriage and babies for the couples that existed then. No surprises, no happy single characters, not even an asexual relationship for the posterboy for romantic disinterest. They had to throw his character and sense of purpose under the steamrolling, money-caked, white heteronormative, saccharine-coated bus as well.
And there HASN'T been any surprises. It's plodded on exactly as broadcast years ago, to its white-picket-fenced conventional ideal. Perhaps this is comforting to some people, but personally I wanted Sheldon's endgame to be something higher and more unique than marriage to a self-admittedly scheming, self-pitying character, after having been forced/tricked out of his home to live in Penny's old flat.
Gods protect Sheldon from his friends...
