cute

[@reginafowler3517]

There is something so awfully cute that she used the words 'snoodled up' instead of 'snuggled up' or 'bundled up'. I also love the hug and Leonard's reaction to it when she didn't let go when he thought she would.

[@jamesgarner2103]

you never leave when someone hugs you for that long. and you never let go.

[@unclej7842]

I'm thinking it has something to do with copyright law and the item she gave him, which is not a Snuggly.

[@prasadshastri554]

It’s so touching. Real affection between the two was evident.

[@jonathonclary1681]

The thing I loved about this moment was her knowing that if she said anything he would stay. She loved him enough not to force him to choose between her and a once in a lifetime opportunity. That's something you don't often see in a show like this.

[@enlightendbel]

That's something you see in literally every show, ever, when there's a long term love interest. It always gets dragged on because one or both parties don't make their feelings clear.

[@6LVRDRGN]

I’d have picked Penny - being cold can be done, as an example, in a large walk-in freezer

[@viral_suppressor4154]

BS! Disregarded of whatever she felt, her inability to communicate it healthy or admit to it when she had the chance disqualifies her. Of course, you can believe anything that makes you happy, doesnt need be true...

[@CeltycSparrow]

I also love that not only did he bring her back a preserved snowflake from the North Pole (proof that he was thinking of her and missing her too, while he was there, so he did something incredibly sweet and romantic) HE DID "snoodle up" in the blanket she got him, to keep warm, while he was freezing in the North Pole. He took her gift with him and he used it. Very romantic.

[@WilliamRubin-ds2uc]

Career is always more important.. u can always find another girl

[@whiplashfatigue1430]

I just realized how selfless Penny’s actions were. If she had given any indication that she would miss Leonard terribly, she knew that Leonard would have bailed on the trip immediately. But the minute she saw Leonard’s enthusiasm, she knew it was something he wanted to do and a great opportunity, so she held it all in … for him. Like my mom used to say “if you love someone, you want what’s best for him … even if it’s not being with you. “

[@vijayiyer8518]

Yes, that was a lovely thing she did

[@joshuasteward6097]

​@@vijayiyer8518Couldn't she have also said, "I'll be waiting for you"?

Dude, it was just three months. It's not like he was moving away permanently.

[@avashock]

I agree with your mom in this situation but there is also a point you have to fight. See Instant Family movie about needing to fight for the kids in that situation to show them you do love them.

[@ckelcro]

​@@joshuasteward6097He would have still bailed. Remember he gets pretty caught up by the gift and the long hug so her telling him that?! Yeah he would have still bailed

"Just a warning, Sheldon : the freezer locks from the outside!!" Beautiful line!!! 😂😂😂😂😂

[@KarlenkoFisher]

Okay the knocking part was PURE GOLD, 🥇

[@cardsfanboy]

When people bag on Penny for not being as committed as Leonard, this is one of those scenes that shows she was already on the path of falling for him, she just had to get out of her own way and expectations of a relationship.

[@cellpat2686]

I had expected to see a door knock - off between Sheldon and Penny someday. I just saw it. 😄😄😄😄

[@BrandonNewby-es5it]

Penny not actually dropping that bomb right when he was about to leave for 3 months was so impressive And when he came back... 😁😁

Penny catching Sheldon with the 3 knocks was fantastic 🤣🤣

[@MrPerfecttommy]

"Wine, credit card and late night television are a bad combination?" LMAO

[@Pepsolman]

Penny loved Leonard so much that she was unwilling to tell him the truth or share her feelings because she knew it would keep him away from something he really wanted to do. Wholesome.

[@andreinastase1604]

[@claytonbrannon3060]

[@Alcagaur1]

In numerous viewings, it never struck me before that Sheldon's faith in Leonard's emotional reading being correct is on a par with any of his scientific certainties - these are simply the things Leonard knows.

4:30 is extremely dangerous. The woman tells the man "no" and he thinks, "secretly, she means yes." I know this was just done for the sake of the cliffhanger, but it is dangerous nonetheless.

[@nicholasemiranda3057]

4:39 this must have been the ending because Leonard is useing the gift he got since it said in the title not the spot joke 0:47 Should not of said that Oh and everything is about you Penny I get missing Leonard but be mad about it and staying mad after saying he was going to tell you like he said it happened so fast

[@somedudeontwitterstalkedme3829]

It was rather presumptuous for Sheldon to think a working restaurant would just turn over its' freezer to him. And then he really pressured her to hurry up and find out if he could use it. Ask for a favor and then put pressure on her to fulfill the favor.

That's his character.

I mean I wish you weren’t going

[@lifeisbitvlover171]

I love the fact that even though she likes him and wishes he didn't go, she doesn't tell him, cause she knows how important his job is to him, and we all know he'd think about not going if she told him

3:04 so how many Mississippis is that? It's about ten seconds. 3:14 but if you count them out, depending on how you do a Mississippi, it's more like five to seven. Your Mileage May Vary.

[@jbtechcon7434]

This happens, boys. Sometimes women don't want you until they realize they miss you. I've accidentally escaped the friend zone twice, once when she spotted me on a date, and once when I just said no I can't continue to hang out with you pretending to just be friends. In both cases, I got surprise sex that very evening.

[@WilliamRubin-ds2uc]

Sex is transactional to women

[@mpccengineer]

I am really surprised that the science advisors missed this mistake - the magnetic north pole of Earth is in Antarctica. It is not in the Arctic circle. The magnetic south pole is in the Arctic circle.

[@WcWZzQM]

Petition to change the artic circle to the Antarctic and vice verse like up!

[@Chemical_Recon_M93A1]

WRONG. South is Antarctic. North is Arctic. Do you do you have access to the Internet?

[@michaelhamilton7757]

It’s all just an Ice wall anyway. North and south, psshhaaw…

[@Kllgg]

@@Chemical_Recon_M93A1, he’s technically not wrong. It has to do with how magnets are attracted to their opposite. So a “north” magnet will point to the north because it’s attracted to the “south” magnetic pole. Another way of looking at it would be that all our magnets are labeled backward, but that’s not the scientific consensus on which way to handle the contradiction.

This episode is the only one where I have found factual mistake in what Sheldon says. He says we are going to Mangnetic north pole and then he says Arctic circle. Magnetic north is geographic south and it's in Antarctic, not Arctic

[@chiranjiv1361]

Yess

[@theboyscout0156]

Magnetic pole is north of the equator.

[@YalokIy]

What? It is in the Arctic, just a little bit off of north geographic pole.

[@abehambino]

Magnetic north in this sense is geographically in the northern hemisphere. It used to distinguish it from true north because it is the point in which compasses actually point. They don’t point to true north, which is why when navigating with map and compass, one must account for the declination.

Whoever cut this video out of the original episode, they took out the bit at the end where Howard prepared to murder Sheldon using a crossbow.

[@Ben8484]

For those of you who were disappointed by this series, how Penny was never a well developed character, and how it ended, let me recommend you this: . “What could have been”, by son-goku5. . WAY BETTER than the actual show. It takes place THROUGHOUT the show, but has real and better character development for Penny. It's like 95% from Penny's POV, and it also gives her more depth by showing/including her family from Nebraska as well as her family. It definitely made me feel better about how disappointing the last five seasons were. The show should have just ended with Leonard and Penny getting married. Also this story puts Penny in moments where she wasn't. (Vegas and Camping Trip where the guys were Tripping while Camping; she gets high too). Also, there's a huge twist that makes the show honestly look dumb in romantic story telling. There's also more Penny vs Sheldon in it, to the point that Sheldon messes with her job and she messes with his schedule. Penny also doesn't become unlikable in it, and remains her "before she got married" self to the end. Her fate in this story is also a lot better. And Leonard's proposal is WAY better in it. They also show Leonard interacting with her family more often (they also show him asking for her parents blessing, which is a very well written moment) and he even tells Penny he's jealous of her for having nice parents. Leonard also gets REAL character development in this story too. He grows up and acts less nerdy but still remains a nerd (for example he missed half a day of Comic Con to take care of Penny when she gets a headache. That's what I call maturity. And when Raj uses the whip sound, to make fun of him for taking care of her, Penny gets all mad for them making fun of Leonard and she even mentions his problem with Emily and the Iron Maiden 😂. When all he's doing is something thoughtful). What's best about this story is that while they do act like their sitcom selves, Leonard and Penny develop more realistically like REAL PEOPLE. READ IT! Also the author is German, and I think he's a physicist, because he writes science dialogue that's offscreen. Penny also comes to hate Beverley a lot. She also stands up for him when someone flirts with her and denigrates him at the same time, because she knows he never was able to do it his whole life. It’s really beautiful. At one point she even calls him in her mind, her soulmate. Penny and Leonard plan a REAL wedding, and they exchange actual beautiful vows, and makes it clear she wants to have a genuinely happy life with him because he at one point in the story says that “life will go by and all that a person will have is a regret of not doing something”. Leonard is a little philosopher in this story. He even tells Penny he’s thinking about changing his name to “Leonardo”, cause it get rid of the word “nerd” in his name, but ultimately doesn’t. Penny is actually really smart in season seven and eight; she comes up with a way to trick Sheldon into giving them the apartment. You see the author writes a reason why Penny is uncomfortable with Leonard moving in with her. It is because of her asshole ex who cheated on her before she met Leonard. Penny thinks that her and Leonard also being neighbors is “convenient and practical”. So when Sheldon gets hospitalized in season four for weeks , Leonard in a very “Chandler Bing fashion” asks Penny to move in (in this story they don’t break up like in season three, and their relationship starts off WAY differently) with him as a trial. He’s smart and tells Penny he knows the real reason. When they get engaged she tells Leonard they can’t live in her apartment, so it’s either A trick Sheldon into moving out or B, find a new place, and “make it our own”. Sheldon is more intolerable and unbearable. When Leonard does move out, they basically show no real sympathy. Penny even tells Amy that it’s HER job to prepare Sheldon for when they get married since she’s his girlfriend “by will”. Excerpt: Amy waved it off and looked at her. "Are you determined to live with Leonard after you're married?" "Of course." Penny scrunched her face in confusion. "He'll be my husband, why would I not?" "Well, I heard the secret of a successful relationship is separate apartments." Amy hesitated, clearly uncomfortable." "Amy, did you tell Sheldon yet that he has to get used to the idea that he won't be living with Leonard anymore?" Penny asked her friend. "Well..." "Dammit, Amy!" Penny huffed. "I haven't gotten the chance yet to approach the subject." Amy justified her recalcitrance. "I'm afraid he'll run away again." "Amy, let me be clear." Penny said. "After Leonard and me are back from our honeymoon, we will live together. Whether it'll be here in this building or somewhere else, I don't know yet but Sheldon will not be living in the same apartment." "Fine." Amy huffed. "Go back a minute, clothing has an expiration date?" Bernadette interjected. "Yes, it's called fashion." Penny nodded as Amy picked up the red dress from the top of the keep pile.
