The highlights:
"...season nine has been very Sheldon-heavy, not just with the humour but also a lot of the more dramatic storylines.
There's literally a sequence in which all the characters – including people like Leslie Winkle or Wil Wheaton – make speeches about how much they love him. Half of the people in the room objectively hate him, as we're constantly reminded, yet they're forced to recite dialogue few people would say about their best friend.
But then, as a kind of microcosm of The Big Bang Theory's highs and lows, we have the scene between Sheldon and Penny. It's spelled out to us, but it really is the case that those two characters sum up the entire point of the show. When it's not being mean-spirited or lazy, this is a series about different people coming together and learning from each other. Penny came into the guys' lives like a tornado of 'normalcy' and emotional intelligence, while they in turn taught her to expect more from her life than douchey guys and dead-end jobs.
So it was nice to be reminded of that, however briefly. Yes, Leonard has known him the longest and Amy has seen him without pants, but Penny understands him in a way they can't."
