Sheldon Ruins Leslie and Leonard's Relationship | The Big Bang Theory

[@BillyWillyButcherBollocks]

[@bensonabernathy4664]

I think Sheldon ultimately (although unintentionally) did Leonard a favor. She has no right to force her view/perspective of what the truth is onto other people. Then just because Leonard doesn't believe in the same theory as her she breaks up with him. That is ridiculous. She clearly demonstrates the lack of behavior necessary to maintain a relationship, which is accepting the perspectives and beliefs of others as long as they don't cause harm to anyone.

[@chadgiga4213]

Your argument is solid however Lenard is WILLINGLY in a relationship with Sheldon who pretty much does the exact same thing. I would have tried to talk it out with her.

Sheldon can be blamed for many things but not this break up. It was all Lesely, because she can't accept the fact that Leonard believes something she thinks doesn't exist. It's her narrow minded mentality that broke them

Sheldon didn't ruin anything. Leslie did by being stubborn, and refusing to concede that she MIGHT be wrong; Leonard wasn't even saying she was, he was stating a FACT that NEITHER of them know the answer.

[@patrickdornoff2735]

Even Sheldon has a confused WTF look on his face when she mention the children

[@kate2create738]

This clip demonstrates why I never was a Leslie fan, the two polar opposite approach both Leonard and Leslie have proves it. Leonard respects other people to come to their own conclusions, he believes people have their own intelligence and he respects that they will have their own opinions. Leslie couldn’t fathom raising children to not agree with her, to them she’ll never see their own intelligence and their minds are to be altered to strictly her views. There’s little respect in the prospect your child could be a totally different person than she probably wanted, and by the time they do become adults, will she always slight their opinions cause they’re just children to her? Sheldon brilliantly proved his point without doing to much, just the right nudge to get Leslie irked at one topic she couldn’t let go. I’ll never understand how people liked Leslie. Sorry Leslie fans.

[@thiagodeandrade7081]

I admit I like the character as a character. She is at least as entertaining as anyone else, her jousting with Sheldon is funnier than Penny or Howard's sarcasm and she is more sympathetic than most characters - I would take her as a friend over Penny and Howard. She is less complicated than Raj and Sheldon. Yes, she could have been more tolerant, but... The hypotheses thing is an obvious analogous to religious/ideological differences, and truth is, many people deal badly with those in long term relationships. Actually, a good reason for people getting to know each relatively well before making a commitment like marriage and raising children together is to know what to expect and identify possible dealbreakers. Also, it is besides the point, but she is the only one who actually provides a shadow of an argument about the validity of one of the hypotheses.

Sheldon was arrogant but insightful. This scene shows how he can accurately observe relationship dynamics. Later on he is just constantly disruptive and unaware of how rude he is being.

[@KeeperCharlie]

I missed this vibe from the show and this video shows why early seasons were so well received. Biggest difference is that it was actually about scientists and their quirky habits and interests and way of life, not some useless and obnoxious waitress hogging everything and somehow landing a ridiculous job without any experience or education, and then complain about their marriage for "settling" and we just have to accept that all the hobbies and collections are useless and for the "losers" and should be thrown away like garbage. The show turned way too toxic towards the end. For a show that used that gimmick "it's about nerds" and gained popularity thanks to it, it certainly gave a middle finger at the end because they ran out of ideas. Chuck Lorre is an awful writer.

[@Aemilius46]

You aren't even a writer, and Chuck Lorre actually makes a living! So stfu!

[@hectora.3220]

Yeah, the show became all about how women are always right and men are idiots for liking things that aren't alcohol and partying.

[@ottokarl5427]

I really feel basically everything you said except the last line - he did a good job in the early seasons and then suffered some runtime-fatigue, happens to most shows that "have" to run much longer than they are supposed to. But yes, besides that: At the start, it was about nerdy scientists that geeked about "weird" stuff. In the end, they weren't allowed to do that because it would "bore the girls", but also the nerdy topics became extremly basic. It was honestly just dumbed down to StarWars/Star Trek and Comic Books, because most people watched/consumed these three big ones. My mother watched all Star Wars/Trek movies and some of the MCU, wouldn't exactly call her a nerd... But that's what the audience craved, they wanted to feel "nerdy" too I guess. So things like playing Halo or watching an anime in japanese couldn't fly anymore

[@AborHills]

Sheldon saved leonard.

[@ottokarl5427]

Funny how Leslie and Amy at her introduction are basically the same character, just on the complete opposite spectrum of their character (if that makes sense)

[@redacted2275]

No, it doesn't: Amy was a woman deprived of human interaction all of her life... as soon as she meets Penny's lifestyle, she starts to love living life, not only work. Leslie was just a typical bitter human being.

[@richardcarlin1332]

Kripke is the male version of Leslie. Leonard's mom is a version of Sheldon, so in a sense, Leonard is rooming with his mom. 😀

[@UncleForHire]

I kind of see it, they were both lonely losers that only had their work and treated an orgasmic release as necessary, except Amy never had social skills to build the meaningful relationships she yearned for, while Leslie used her social skills to build superficial self serving fwb ones with no substance. Hence why Amy later attained happiness as she grew while I'm assuming someone stubborn like Leslie remains just as bitter and lonely as when we met her.

[@Blueian742]

I’d rather have a relationship with someone who believes differently than me because I can learn from them and they can do the same with me.

To me Leslie is the best comedic woman in this show . She creates the most fun tension with the other characters. Would have preferred her staying on the show much more than Bernadette...etc.

Leslie: Are you gonna let him talk to me like that? Me: Am I going to acknowledge the reality that, just because he disagrees with you, that does not signify that either of you are necessarily wrong nor does it mean that you are being disrespected as a human? Yes. edit; Sheldon was acting in a manner that was bordering on, if not full blown disrespectful. However, you know that Leslie feels that having her sanctimonious worldview challenged is the ultimate form of oppression.

[@thiagodeandrade7081]

Sheldon was clearly being disrespectful, but she didn't have to make a major issue of it or pursuing the issue of what Sheldon thinks of her work/ideas.
