What is this sudden need to blot out the only male/female friendship on this show?
Is the S/A relationship that flimsy that everything else, including Sheldon's character, had to flattened and blasted in order for it to exist?
Can't the Sheldon/Penny scenes (that are arguably the most popular comedic pairing, judging by every damn episode poll) continue AS WELL? Is this not feasible? Raj and his miniscule tit of a dog have had more scenes together...
It seems to me that a lot of the new fans don't know the early seasons that well. They came in late and skimmed the past. Of course there are some hardcore canons who have been around a long time but most regular viewers couldn't care less if Penny and Leonard wound up together, they just want the show to be fun.
I think the writers only had a few ideas and they are spent. Now they are coasting on the public's affection for the characters build up over the years and the ratings and popularity is about to hit a wall. By the end of this season, and by next premier, I predict we will see a noticeable change in the fortune of this show. It's just awful now and it's a habit for a lot of viewers who will move on once they realise there's no jokes left in it. The did their best work in the Sheldon and Penny era and it will be these episodes that BB will be remembered for.
