There could have been a possibility of MB playing herself in the same sense that Wil Wheaton does; maybe she (and/or Amy) wouldn't have turned into such a sad joke. She could have been the best of both worlds, so to speak. MB's acting history would probably appeal to Penny and the academic stuff would help her keep up with the rest of the supposedly nerdy aspect of the show. Plus, didn't MB talk about being into comic books and all the jazz?... Just a thought.
Great point queen. This is where TPTB could have used MB as a guest character like Wil instead of full time cast. The idea of BBT adding full time cast without losing any cast members was just crazy to me. This is not like Friends were you have popular and good looking people where you expect lots of friends. BBT needed to be small and focus on the original cast with guest characters as needed.
