The Big Bang Theory - The Separation Triangulation S11E14 [1080p]

[@Robert-ht7om]

I think part of what was driving Leonard crazy was that Sheldon is capable of being a well behaved person but for all those years as a roommate never tried to do that.

[@Atari2301]

And that what we call Stockholm syndrome

[@nishthagupta1357]

Ikr😭

[@valhallamcgaughey3720]

Stockholm for sure, but also given how Leonard was raised, he is highly suspicious of sudden, uncharacteristic kindness. Which proves spot-on, as Sheldon was only being nice to get through the trial period then implement a new agreement in which Leonard is back to being his lackey. Leonard is much more comfortable with that, hence the Stockholm.

[@thatleftyjames2893]

Probably because Sheldon was only working. He wasn’t a “well behaved roommate” because he imposed all sorts of things

[@yevgeniyaleshchenko849]

You think? Leonard literally said so later in the episode.

[@Elaini.Young24]

I think Leonard is just one of those people who can not live without some form of disruption or annoyance in his life. Probably comes from his childhood

Nah Sheldon is Leonard's mom but he can pacifier/ he gets satisfaction form being able to accomplishing Sheldon's small attainable task.... Because he can never satisfy his mom....

She's screwed him up because in her mine he's too average & emotional like average kids cause he trusted her as a child & I think maybe her other children didn't fall for her test studies or rather figured them out sooner than Leonard & just didn't play into her games... But he was too trusting so gullible.... Perfect ginepig....

[@stutikhanna987]

I think Leonard like tantrum Sheldon more because then he was needed all the time. Even if Leonard keep saying it's annoying he gets the satisfaction that he was needed by Sheldon he never felt in his childhood. He wasn't needed as a child at all by his mother and father was totally drown in his own sour so he was helpless and need a attention but he got this weird attention from Sheldon actually.

Sheldon is doing his best to be more considerate and Mr. Leonard still ain’t happy because he misses crazy Shelly.

[@rocketmom60]

But he isn't being considerate when he once again implements all sort of gotcha clauses in the agreement that basically anchors him in their life for the rest of their lives. Leonard needs to refuse to do all the things required and tell Sheldon to get a lawyer. Or, Leonard and Penny could just move out and not tell Sheldon where they went.

Sheldon and Amy should have moved into another two bedroom apartment in the building. Though, that brings up two problems. The prop department wants things to stay where they are so they couldn't use the same set, and the expense of building a new set would probably cost more money than the production company was willing to spend.

[@satwiksortur7814]

you realise they made so much money as 1 million dollars per episode to the main cast, even stuart(comic store guy) got 550,000 dollars just for the episodes he was in they can build a new set, but it wont go along with the storyline

I'm 27 and I didn't really realize empathy meant "imagining being in someone else's position"

[@Rushinator1]

It’s the ability to understand someone else’s feelings. Imagining yourself in that persons place is just a helpful trick as how you would feel in that position is likely how that person is feeling. It has its flaws since people are different and they might very well be feeling someone completely different to what you would feel. For example an LGBT supporter would have much different feelings regarding their child “coming out” vs a religious fundamentalist.

[@spongebobswindow7472]

better late than never

[@anjelica948]

I know I’m in the minority, but I understand where Leonard is coming from. Sheldon was an extremely difficult roommate, and this behavior demonstrates he absolutely did not need to be. Not only is that extremely frustrating, its hurtful as a friend. I had a similar situation with my best friend. I HATE talking on the phone, especially if its only for 5-10 minutes, bc the conversation is shallow and pointless and breaks my concentration. She LOVES talking on the phone, and I swear to god, she cannot be in a car without calling someone, which means the conversations never last long. I asked her to PLEASE not call me constantly, to no avail, and I promised I would text her more frequently so we could still talk, and I would let her know if/when I wasn’t up for a phone call. But she would still call- and eventually it got to the point I would just let it ring without answering, and then text her, because I was trying to compromise. She repeatedly used this as a technique to ‘prove’ I had my phone with me, and would immediately call me again. It would make me so angry I wanted to throw my phone out the window, because she would literally cackle that she “got me to answer” and make a joke out of my boundaries- not unlike how Sheldon often belittled Leonard’s basic requests of being a more balanced roommate. Well I eventually became friends with my best friend’s sister in law, who is a lot like me when it comes to the phone, and I told her my problem and she was surprised and said “Yeah, she doesn’t do that with me. I told her I didn’t like talking on the phone and now she only calls when its really important. Other than that she just texts.” I was so hurt and angry about that. We have been friends for nearly 20 years and she refused to respect my boundaries over something very simple but very important to me. And it wasn’t that she Couldn’t, as proven with her SIL. She chose not to. That kind of behavior is really frustrating, so yeah, I feel for Leonard here. He’s not crazy.

[@AMY1213141]

I think in Sheldon’s case when he was living with Leonard, he hadn’t yet made his ‘empathy’ discovery, plus was a lot less developed emotionally in general back then. And I don’t doubt his active consideration of those around him takes up a lot of his energy and I don’t think he would be able to keep it up 24/7. I don’t think it’s as simple as ‘he could’ve been like this back then’, I don’t think he actually could. And tbh I think he was just making the immense effort of being ‘good’ for the trial period imo, then he would go back to his usual self after Leonard couldn’t go back on the agreement

[@mmm-fe1zy]

Why did he smile at the end? It feels he is up to something

[@mdaamirsohail1492]

[@veerr_175]

@@farranasution4068 Hey i agree it's kinda stupid. But using the word stupid is not it(?) I don't know how to describe it. Leonard had been with sheldon for so many years. Therefore he grew accustomed to sheldon's overall good and bad behaviors. And based on Leonard's childhood he was shown no affection and was treated just like an experiment. However with sheldon, thed had a bond with their interests like the comics and movies and everything. So we still kinda call it a relationship somehow and is better compared to leonards mother relationship. And before anyone else, sheldon was the only person he had. And so when this happened, with sheldon's change, that change was kinda hard for leonard. So for him to accept the new change he need time, and eventually accept it as he can totally do it. Just like everybody else, his behavior is what I can call a closure for him. So his behavior is normal and valid and calling it stupid is kinda not it😔 And of course, sheldon is still very insensitive towards other people. And that have no excuse.

Is it legal in the US to enforce new clauses on a contract after a trial period without both parties being aware and acknowledge said new clauses?

[@rocketmom60]

No. Sheldon is not a lawyer even though he thinks he is. Priya decimated his roommate agreement and any other lawyer would tell him that no rental agreement in valid without the landlord signing it. The tenant (i.e. Sheldon) doesn't create the rental agreement so it is entirely in his favor. That was the problem with the roommate agreement. That and a tiny flaw which was that Leonard didn't even get a copy of the agreement so Sheldon could routinely alter it to his advantage without Leonard knowing it.

[@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 mostly from Penny's POV, and it also gives her more depth by exploring her background and her life in Nebraska. 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 and 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. 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.
