I still really love this show. But last season, more than any before, I felt like they spun their wheels for abit (especially the last third of the season). I don't think I'd be interested in another Penny - Leonard break up.

It definitely was lacking towards the end last year.

Hate to agree, but there were a few really sub par episodes last season. Here's hoping they're able to stick the landing this season.

I don't think we'll see a Leonard/Penny breakup. I'm just praying we don't see a baby - from them or from Howard/Bernadette (although since she hates kids, I think we're safe there). Babies are TV series killers.

I was thinking they're probably considering doing a baby, mostly because it's one of the few ways of shaking up the show this late into its run.

I'd just like them to get back to the roots of the show and show more nerdy/geek stuff. They're basically HIMYM at this point with one extra couple.

I like the idea that someone from this board presented before about incorporating KC's working with Shatner on the Priceline commercials as a storyline. He's one of their heroes and the "outsider" is the one that gets to work with him.

For a shotgun wedding, that dress looks like it costs more than I make in a year.

Haven't watched it, but does that #gamergate shit have to spill over into everything?

I didn't think it was a very good start to the season.

Stuart was a little too creepy and forward in this. And this felt like one of the episodes where Sheldon's antics went a little too far. I liked Leonard/Penny's vows, the Toy Story song was pretty funny. Hopefully the fight doesn't last too long.

No it wasn't funny. Sheldon and Amy are going to get back together, probably sooner rather than later, so I hope it doesn't go on too long. Since the writers can't do the break up/back together thing with Leonard and Penny anyway now that they are married, I hope they don't keep throwing it at Sheldon and Amy.

I know they will likely never go there, but it sure seems that when either character has a problem, they sell hard that Sheldon/Penny and Leonard/Amy would be the better fits for each other.

Didn't stop Ross & Rachel's writers from breaking them up after their Vegas wedding.

That was an entirely different situation. They were drunk and didn't want to be married (at least Rachel didn't).

If they break them up for good, they'll probably burn a lot of fans. If they break them up temporarily (which they've done with Leonard several times now), it gets irritating.

I recall this being mentioned sometime last year too, and not sure if it was from you, but I disagree. I've never gotten the impression that either of those would be a better fit.

Yeah, could have been me. And I still totally disagree. But since the Penny/Sheldon dynamic also works on a platonic friend level it's likely they just keep that going.
