Lately I feel like the show has crossed some sort of boundary, where things have gone beyond "these characters have changed a lot" and into things being utterly topsy-turvy. It's like this stuff can't be taken seriously on any level or analyzed/parsed in any rational way.
It's like this might as well be a sketch-comedy show with no attempt at continuity from one scene to the next. I feel like it's no longer just "I disagree with these decisions", it's "these decisions don't make sense from any angle, even if you're on board with the canon."
For them to f*ck around with H and R's friendship is the last straw in my large bundle of last straws. You'd tie yourself up in knots, trying to come up with a plausible in-universe explanation for why the characters behave the way they do.
I dunno, I feel like it's gone beyond "I don't like this particular storyline" or "I don't like this particular pairing." It's like all bets are off and they've just thrown everything into the wind.
Also, as I mentioned in the chat box, TPTB seem to love "going there" with the icky Oedipal themes and the "creepy dysfunctional families" stuff. One could honestly say that various types of emotional incest are this show's main theme, now. I find that to be very dark and off-putting territory for a mainstream sitcom that is presumably aiming to please the masses. Lorre or someone needs a counselor, not a TV show.
I dunno, it's like there's just zero attempt at internal logic or realistic human behavior.
I wish they would just give these characters different names.
