Not only are they not using the S/P kiss in the promos (except in Canada - well done), they're actively promoting this episode as MORE RELATIONSHIP ANGST. THRILL at the antics of the world's most wearying couple! "Can Penny & Leonard get their unhappily married life back on track?" Can you muster the strength to care?
Anyroad, this once again strikes me as a dreadful decision by the marketing department.
When everyone seems cranky over the doom and gloom of the previous episode, perhaps don't advertise the next week as MORE doom and gloom?
Suffice to say, the ratings be on their heads. We're absolved of any influence. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe people love all this shouty business. FB comments would seem to argue against it, but...
The folk who arrange the photoshoots invariably use Sheldon and Penny to sell the show. I'm generally used to the promo department following suit. Do they want to keep it a surprise? Has it been cut? Or does Prady (quite rightly) simply not want a handful of hysterical shippers attacking him on twitter again? Or at least until it actually airs...
The tiny and banal mysteries of fandom...
Personally I'd be happy if we had one Sheldon/Penny scene an episode. Too much to ask in these later seasons I know. But then I'd at least watch. If Vintage Sheldon is gone, my reason for watching the show also vanishes. New!Sheldon will have to interact with someone I care about in order to stir interest. And that person is obviously Penny.
That tea party scene was charming.
It might not be OUR Sheldon, Vintage Sheldon, but at least the actors still have a lovely rhythm to their scenes.
Oh, and here's another Promo where they DO show the kiss...See how it's done O marketing chaps?

God help us when the Australians get hold of it.
