Penny Blossom

Re: her new job.

yes she is grossly under-qualified for it. and we all know the writers to absolutely no research.
I think that particular profession was chosen was for dramatic tension without being obvious about at first.

Pharma Reps are the new Stewardess in the sexual stereotypes.

She will be on the road a fair bit, her wardrobe will go up a couple notches, she will be socializing with Doctors and Hospital admins. tons of things for Leonard to get jealous over.

Because Leonard being jealous = good television in their tiny little heads

Couldn't agree more. I don't understand how jealousy is supposed to be a positive thing. Especially when it is repetitive beyond repair. I think it shows a lack of trust that Leonard has over Penny when she interacts with other people outside their group. Perhaps that's why Penny's other circle of friends diminished over time, due to Leonard's insecurities. I was just reading a blog about jealousy and here's a quote from it that I found interesting:

"Jealousy’s force does not derive from the sharing of something special to you; rather, it comes from the feeling that you are about to lose that special thing that is being shared – that, by sharing it, you are in danger of losing it."

It's like Leonard is scared of losing her because she's hot rather than because she is someone very important to him. Yikes.
