I've watched very little of nine but I'm aware of whats going on. Every so often I dive in and give a new episode a chance but they are so poor in comparison to the old ones. You could really see the effort and love that went into the earlier work, but of course what sells, is what sells. At least we can perserve it here.
One of my big issues with the later seasons is the hamfisted way they force ideas, rather than write a great piece that shows us. For example, Stuart will say that Leonard and Penny have a great relationship in a scene. He's only in the scene to make this statement in defense of Lenny. All the other characters are pawns for the ships. The writers put all their energy into the relationships now and the reason they have too, is both couples are forced and unnatural.
As for Howrdette... they could disappear tomorrow and I don't think anyone would notice. Same with Raj and whomever he's dating. Howard and Raj were a great team but they separated the nerd group into all couples, and the show lost so much in doing that.
