Ooh, a friend of mine wrote to me the other day, telling me about a dream he had that was set in the Big Bang universe. Right up my alley!
Anyhoo..I thought it was awesome, so asked him if I could repost it here. I'm not aware that he's a big fan of the show, as it never comes up between us in conversation. But according to this dream, it seems he's familiar with it.
Last night's dream was weird, to say the least. Funny thing is it kind of had to
do with Big Bang Theory, more or less, but in typical dream fashion it was also
kind of messed up, and not right.
In the dream it was like part of the time I was Leonard, and part of the time I was
myself, me. I think the dream is taking place somewhere like a bus station or something,
NOT anything along the lines of the set of the show. Just some weird place, maybe
an airport.
Anyway, in the dream I guess me/Leonard is anxious to see Penny, as she's been
away, and is due to return home. I guess we're there to meet her, or pick her up
or something like that.
In the dream Leonard and Penny are engaged, I guess, but not married yet.
Well, Penny comes in, off a bus/plane, whatever, and she breaks up with Leonard!
The thing is, wherever she was and whatever she was doing she met this guy.
In the dream Leonard/me is all worked up. Cold, stunned, just dealt this huge
emotional blow, and not sure what to make of it. Like life was just falling apart.
Penny, I guess, had been away, working at some place, who knows what or where,
and this guy I think worked under her, or she was his boss or something. And they
hit it off, and she came home with him.
So Leonard/me is waiting for Penny, and she shows up with this GUY, and that
was that.
Sheldon was saying something or other, this is part that I don't really remember.
It was something like how Charles is in charge, and he never went around hooking
up with people he worked with. I guess the girls in the house?
I guess Sheldon's rant had something to do with Penny being in charge. Of the guy?
At whatever job? I don't remember. Sheldon was trying to make Leonard feel better,
so was trying to make some kind of points about the situation.
Well, although Leonard is all kinds of sad and messed up he meets the guy, and the
guy is good looking, for one, and he's not a bad guy, he's actually a really great person.
Leonard I think, was hoping the guy would be some jerk, so at least he could hate him,
but in a way Leonard sort of accepts what's going on, even though the guy makes him
feel worse about himself, Leonard can't be upset at the guy.
He doesn't really LIKE the guy, but he thinks he's a good guy, and Leonard feels
sort of worse, like he can't fault Penny, because the guy is pretty great, though it
makes Leonard feel kind of worse about himself. Does that make sense?
Sheldon and Raj are trying to "defend" Leonard, and more or less bad-mouth the
new guy, and Leonard can't. He can't really find fault with the guy, he just feels
a lack with himself. He thinks Penny was right to dump him for this other guy.
At this point in the dream I'm just sort of watching, but it's like I know what's going
on in Leonard's head.
So then Penny springs it on everyone that she and this guy are engaged, and
it seems like a really good thing. The guy is a lot better for Penny than Leonard is,
and even Leonard realizes that, so he's hurt, but admits it's for the best, well, HER
best, anyway.
I don't remember the guy's name in the dream. It was just some common name, not
something really cool, or suave. I think it was Michael. Not even Mike, for short.
Michael. And I think Penny was working with criminals, or like a half-way house, or
something, and the guys think this Michael is some loser criminal, or whatever, but
he's not, he was working there, too, and maybe Penny was his supervisor, or she
was the lead-person In Charge, or something, hence Sheldon's rant about Charles
being in charge, and etc.
The guy had the looks. He was sort of like Eddie, from Eddie & The Cruisers. Not a
thug, sort of like James Dean, like a cool guy.
So, as the dream is going on it's like Leonard is trying to tell himself all the reasons
why this guy is better for Penny than he is. Better looking, taller, more muscular, cooler,
etc. etc. and the way he and Penny seemed to get along was not like how Leonard and
Penny were together at all. A much better couple, even Leonard had to admit.
At about that point I woke up. And I'm thinking, well, what happens NOW? It's
like that was last week's episode, and I don't know what the next one will be about.
Is Michael going to be part of the show? Is the show going to change and write Penny
off? How is Leonard going to deal with being across the hall from Penny and this
GUY, as I got the impression he came "home" with her from wherever they'd been.
I laid in bed, awake for a while thinking on all that. I think Penny was better off.
In reality I don't think Leonard and Penny are a good match, and that they aren't
right for eachother.
I get that at the start of the show the basic concept was geek guy lusting after
Hot New Chick and he doesn't really stand a chance, but somehow ends up with
her. The thing is I think they shouldn't have gotten married at all. I think it was
a mistake. I think each would be better off with someone else. Leonard maybe
someone more like...what's her name? Leslie Winkle? Or even that really pretty
girl that liked him that was working for Sheldon. Alex?
And Penny. Ok, so she kind of stopped dating stupid losers with good looks. I
get that, but I think she should've ended up with someone else, too. Maybe she
was "maturing" or growing, or whatever, but dang to go from Hot Dumb Guys
to Leonard has always been kind of a long stretch for me. Maybe someone
like that married physicist that was working with Leonard in that one episode,
only not married. He was good looking, and smart, but acted like a regular Joe.
He wasn't awkward and socially inept like Leonard. A good happy medium,
except that he was married, and was cheating on his wife with Penny. But still,
maybe someone more like that. Only single. Better match.
