The Existential Angst of Stuart Bloom

[wellplayedpenny]

Kinda on/off topic but that's why Amy's comment really burned me about Sheldon's comic book hobby being 'lame-o'. Where it really counts she just doesn't 'get' him. Stuart's store was his haven, his and Lonely Larry and all the other souls who showed up on new comic book night. It was a place where they could be themselves, where they could let their imaginations free. Perhaps the destruction of the store and its (seeming) rebuilding is symbolic of the show as what was is being replaced by what is. We don't even get a death and funeral and a chance to mourn and find peace but instead are faced with a zombie rise from the earth that shuffles its way through the episodes.
