There's another serious 'tell, not show' with Penny's dating life. To begin with, she was just a pretty, bubbly girl who had just left a rather thuggish looking ex for cheating on her - and given her age, if she'd been with Kurt for four years, half the later 'wild teens' doesn't make sense. Sheldon might go on about 'man after man' passing through her apartment, but we've seen maybe three, not counting Leonard. (Guy she was dating when Missy visited, cheating asshat professor, Zach) Add in six months relationship-free leading up to gaming addiction - continuity is not the show's strong point, but the actual timelines squirrel about worse than Doctor Who. Or JKR's grasp of maths.
(Similarly, how the hell does Sheldon's father die when he's fourteen, when we've already heard that he was alive when Sheldon went to Germany at fifteen plus? Or Bob become Wyatt? Does Pasadena freeze at midnight and everybody's brain reset?)
