Granted, wellplayedpenny, but I was thinking this is when both characters really came to life. People meander along, it's only when someone (or something) challenges them, that they have to focus all their mental power, and really feel it. It actually started as Penny taking power in their apartment, Leonard rolls instantly, and as TP says, only Sheldon is immune to her sexuality(paraphrase). He starts imposing strikes against her. I don't think they always have to resolve everything in 20 mins(where's the fun in that). I think Sheldon is as Human as anyone, certainly flawed. From what I've read, humans develop neural networks which mirror their external environments. It can't have helped Sheldon to have everyone trying to judge and label him, from an early age. People fear the unique, and different.
