Let's not forget the Physics Bowl, where Sheldon completely rejected any contribution his friends could have to the team, then when they justifiably kick him off because of it, he formed his own team for the specific purpose of defeating them, only to end up forfeiting rather than accept an answer from one of his teammates that would have scored him the win.

[@fulsgarden6915]

Sheldon forcing Leonard and Prya to sign up a new agreement or tell her parents about them. Blackmail a friend to get what you want, is one of the worst Sheldon ever had done. I know Leonard and Prya never had a chance, because they were too different, but it was never Shellys intend to free his buddy from a bad relationship. Leonard should have end the friendship once Prya broke up or sign the damn thing and move to another appartement. It can't be they don't have enough money for their own appartement at that point in their careers. With Leonard gone Sheldon would have realised, how dependend he is on Leonard. No driving, his other friends would hardly see him anymore because the favor Leonard by far.

[@robertpolanco1973]

Actually, he got his revenge because it turned out that Priya didn't really want to be with Leonard since she gave him the ultimatum of "sign this otherwise I'm never going to be your boyfriend", on top of that, Sheldon played 3D chess with Priya because it turned out later on in a few seasons past that episode, Priya had essentially gotten married to someone else who was much better than Leonard.

Howard actually did it, so I don't think he has the right to blame Sheldon for seeing his career back. Leonard flirting was all on Leonard, and if that cost Howard then he can blame Leonard, but Howard deserves the blame for the Rover. He asked Sheldon for help fixing that issue...a Sheldon he knew struggles greatly keeping secrets....a Sheldon whose career (and more) HOWARD put in jeopardy by involving Sheldon in trying to revive the Rover in the first place.

Admittedly Lenoard could have told Raj first because he values their friendship, but whether he said yes or no it shouldn't make a difference. Priya is a grown woman she can date anyone she wants. If Raj saw women as equal he wouldn't have a problem with it.

My thoughts on all these: 10) Eh, it’s not Sheldon’s fault that the keychain was lost, and he didn’t steal the bitcoin for himself 9) It was excessive, but I also see where Howard’s coming from, he wasn’t obligated to give Sheldon any favors 8) I mean… why besides Leonard would Howard trust any of them to talk to a random stranger about something that important, were there literally no other people he could recommend? He knew Raj had severe social anxiety and he knew Sheldon wasn’t gonna butter him up, and technically what Sheldon said was true and important for the government to know, to be honest don’t think it was that wrong. 7) BY FAR, THE WORST THING SHELDON EVER DID! Could’ve actually been in the top 3. I’d understand it if he ran away, but why couldn’t he just scream “RAJ, RAT!” and WHY DID HE CLOSE THE DOOR!? the rats weren’t gonna chase him, and why did Amy also not open it immediately!? Then lastly, Sheldon’s reaction to Raj’s yelling at him, after that I would never ever talk to or see that person AGAIN 6) it’s kinda part of their job and their research? It didn’t degrade Leonard or Penny at all, nor did it really take up much of their time either. Telling them the intention behind what they were doing might also tamper with their results, again not that bad. 5) Yes, it was cruel, no, Leonard did not deserve it but I get the lesson Sheldon was trying to teach and on some level it worked. 4) Yeah, also should be top 3 because of how ongoing it was, Raj was a great person and great friend who never did anything wrong to Howard and already struggled so much with his own issues, Howard was a horrible person for the way he treated him. Kinda wish they never reconciled until Howard really changed, and low-key hate Leonard for pushing them back together because he was too much of a coward to do the same with Sheldon. 3) It was certainly unfair but didn’t really put others down, just benefited one’s self instead in a rather selfish move, could’ve been lower 2) It wasn’t bad that they did it in the first place. It was bad that they let him keep believing it and that they let him report the experiment as a success, knowing that he was doing such and knowing that it wasn’t true. Why could they have not told him the second the experiment ended? No clue. 1) Yeah, wasn’t just Penny too, all women, another reason why I absolutely don’t like Howard. Even with Bernadette, he was a terrible husband aside from random gestures he’d do just so she’d have a reason to keep him around. Ended up turning her into an absolute monster for having to deal with him all the time. Fair #1. Also, would’ve put when Penny didn’t allow Raj to report the comet as his own finding. Why did it benefit her at all to have her name on the paper, let Raj at least put his name for his career but that doesn’t take at all away from the fact that she was the one who saw it in the first place. Yes, I know that this very long and yes, I know that someone is gonna say “it’s just a show, it’s not that deep” but I had some free time so I wanted to think about what I was watching, instead of just mindlessly scroll for once.

If the writers had made Bernadette more sympathetic to how Penny was feeling about not wanting kids, because at one point Bernadette herself didn’t want kids, I wouldn’t have minded. But the fact that writers just jump onto the shame wagon is just disrespectful to women who don’t want kids (because you don’t need to pop a human being out to have a fulfilling life), but it’s also disrespectful to Bernadette’s character.

@@robertpolanco1973 Ok. I'm all for friends mocking each other in a jovial and joking manner. I do it to my friends, and they do it to me. It's all in good fun. The thing is that we know where to draw the line. The gang in this show didn't and it would've earned them a knuckle sandwich in real life. Here's a few examples. Mocking Raj for being who he was. So what if he likes feminine things? It's his life and he's not hurting anybody. Mocking Leonard for... practically everything about him. Is there anything they didn't mock him about? Sheldon mocking everyone for not being like him. If I had a dollar for every time Sheldon would've been punched in the face in this show, I wouldn't need to work another day in my life. Here's some other examples. Bernadette being a tyrant. Who is she to boss others around? So what if she makes a lot of money. That doesn't give her the right to order others around. If Penny didn't want kids, that's her choice, not Bernadette's. If I recall correctly, Bernadette felt the same way about having kids. Talk about hypocrisy. The diner worker in the episode where the guys were heading to Comic-Con and their car got stolen. A group of guys walk in and are visibly exhausted, one of them informs you that their car was stolen, and your first choice is to mock them? That one guy with the lisp that Sheldon always feuded with. That guy was insufferably annoying. I know that was the point of his character, but still. He needed to learn to mind his own business. I could go on all day, but I think you get the point. I know that the gang was likely aware that the others were just joking, but there were times they would cross the line, as evidenced by when the one being mocked would look at the one making the joke with an angry or hurt expression.

[@No_Conference]

I don’t mind that they’re starting a family. I’m just pissed at how BAD the writers and Chuck Lorre are at writing marriage storylines. Penny doesn’t love Leonard, and if she does, they did a TERRIBLE job of showing it. Penny becoming a Pharmaceutical rep was a bad story decision; it only made her act like Bernadette and treat her spouse even WORSE. Penny is slowly becoming a combination of Bernadette and Beverly. Also, Kaley is a terrible actress and gave up in her character after season eight. Seriously, I hate her for not objecting to the line that proves Penny is stupid and doesn’t care about her husband’s career: “Yes, physics is hard, but isn’t that what makes it boring?“ 🤦‍♂️.

The acting was bad and the actors were trying to hard to make their deliveries SEEM humorous, and the truth is that both Kaley and Melissa ended up playing terrible women who treat their spouses like shit, and don’t really love them. In Kaley’s case, the downfall of her character reflects A LOT on her personal life, and how terrible she is with relationships. I feel bad for baby Matilda; I give Pelphrey fourteen months before he breaks up with her. Kaley is a diva and is DESPERATE for attention.

[@rachelmartin5187]

Honestly, this show ran its course after like 6 seasons. At one point, the show stopped being about science and turned into the new version of Friends. Also, Penny and Bernadette started off as decent characters, but the writers RUINED them. The only woman that had any kind of development was Amy. Did they treat their spouses like trash? Yes, but that's just poor writing. Sidenote: I think Kaley just has a habit of falling in love too fast. She and Tom have a child, but they haven't walked down the aisle just yet. For all we know, she could be trying not to repeat past mistakes.

[@No_Conference]

For those of you who were disappointed by this series’s last four seasons, 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.
