"If you had control over the writing/plot of TBBT, what direction would you have gone in as oppose to the farcical disappointment we have now?"
1. Absolutely no Melissa Rauch.
2. Amy can be a minor character on the level of Leslie and Kripke, or she can just not exist.
3. No weddings, babies, or deaths.
4. None of the "Howard in space" or "Howard's long-lost father" storylines.
5. Minor characters used sparingly, but used well: more of Leslie, Kripke, Ramona, more from Raj's parents, Sheldon's relatives, etc.
6. All characters can have other friends outside of "the group", and other adventures/experiences which don't involve "the group."
7. Character development is very subtle and occurs via friendship and other experiences, not via marriage/romance/dating.
8. Science, math, technology, sci-fi, and nerd stuff.
9. No weddings, babies, or deaths.
10. Storylines are low-key and organic, not big, melodramatic ratings-whore stuff.
11. This show is about friendship and nerdy hijinks, not romance and LTRs.
10. Show ends after a grand total of four seasons, with NO major changes in cast, format, or premise.
11. I would be totally okay if this show ended with all characters single and no major changes in their lives. I know it's an unpopular opinion, but I don't need big "story-arcs."
12. No weddings, babies, or deaths.
13. The Howard-Raj duo is a core component of this show and is not to be broken-up or interfered-with.
14. I am not cool with the violent humor and people getting kicked/punched.
15. I am not cool with verbal cruelty and people humiliating each other. Teasing and sarcasm is one thing, but that line is easily crossed.
16. I totally agree that it would be fun to have more fantasy/AU/surreal types of episodes. These characters like sci-fi and fantasy, so let's see some sci-fi and fantasy.
