1st, I think it is CRAP that they had Leonard cheat on Penny. I don't believe he would do that after doing it to Pria. Or did I miss the episode that shows him kissing some girl?
2nd, poor Sheldon and really poor Amy. I can't believe Sheldon got her a ring and she paused their relationship before he could give it to her. All he has to do is go over there with the ring and she would be in heaven.
I know happy couples don't make great television in the writing and producing worlds, but I still don't like this turn. It will all work itself out as the series is set to go through 2017. I figure the first half of next season will be working these relationships out which I don't think will be fun.

I "think" we saw Leonard kiss a girl and quickly pull away while on the Hawking expedition. My memory may be off, but when he brought it up tonight I wasn't surprised (like I already knew this).
I was thinking "Shut up! Don't make yourself feel better at her expense."
Unfortunately, he didn't listen to me. :0

I am not sure how I feel about the way the season ended. DH is not happy with the relationship crap. He wants it to get back on track.
I don't buy the idea that Sheldon bought a ring. Wish they had handled that differently. It would have been nice to see Sheldon work through buying the ring. Kind of like when he bought Amy the tiara.
I wish they would just let Penny and Leonard get married and be happy. There could be a lot of situations with Sheldon adjusting to living with a female.

Yea not sure how I feel about this Dh and I don't agree on this one. I'm gonna be really mad if Penny and Leonard elope in Vegas. I don't think that's fair to their friends. I don't see Sheldon buying the ring either or thinking of proposing either. I'm really irritated with this sesonal finale like the last one

I loved that Sheldon bought a ring. That is just so totally Sheldon to decide to marry someone he hasn't slept with.
Not happy with the Penny/Leonard situation. I don't care that he kissed a girl (and I wouldn't call it cheating, either) but he should have kept it to himself. Penny doesn't look like someone about to get married, mood wise. No high hopes here.
I'd like to just see them married, too, and work that into the storyline.
Loved the Howard/Bernadette/Stuart subplot. Freaked by the Raj/Emily one ... that girl is WEIRD. I'm a little afraid she might murder him if he dumps her. Okay, not really.

I, too, didn't buy the Sheldon ring thing. He would've way over analyzed this and worked up a fiancé agreement, etc.
I feel sorry for Stewart but enough already. I'm over his Character being a third wheel.
And Penny and Leonard..can't they just be happy? They've been through way too many relationship hurdles.
So no, I wasn't happy with the finale.

I agree with Lucy. Sheldon is trying so hard to be normal and now that he admitted he loves her... I can see him doing this as something that may not make sense to him but that he'll try because it's what she might want, from what he sees in the world. At the beginning,when they were on the couch, he kind of lunged at her again and wanted to kiss her, so maybe it's him being more comfortable. That doesn't mean he won't draw up an an agreement AFTER they're engaged.
I have a son with autism and sometimes I think I know him and then he surprises me. Just yesterday we had a conversation that struck me.. he still doesn't connect all the time with human emotion. He just sees the world in a different way and tries to make sense of it as best he can. So maybe I see Sheldon through the eyes of my son.
Wow, way too much analysis for a sitcom! I loved it though, and that he had the ring on Gollum? Perfect.

Was this on last night? Our station showed a rerun- the one where Billy Bob Thornton is a stalker doctor hitting on Penny. Aggh. Can't believe we / the DVR missed it.

Well, I don't think Penny and Leonard will get married in vegas. I think the kissing situation was thrown in there to throw off a wedding. I think they'll come home, work through it, make up and plan a wedding with their friends.
I think actually, that Sheldon and Amy will get married next. I love that they are letting Sheldon grow as a person. He seems to be less of an a-hole anymore... nice touch for him.

It was on at the regular time (I think) last night and then the Billy Bob Thornton episode was on an hour later for some reason. My DVR picked up both. I'm sure it'll be On Demand today and also available on the CBS web site.

yes, the ring thing was strange. Sheldon overanalyzes everything and getting him to the next level of anything is a drawn out process. to just whip out a ring is weird. the next logical step for Sheldon would be to have more sleepovers, not just leap frog to a ring. ring shopping seemed like another adventure he would have with penny. I can see milking the ring buying into several episodes too. that part of the finale was just lame.
Raj should have broken up with Emily. why can't they bring back OCD girl (even though she's on a cable show already)?
I like stewart. they need to find him a girlfriend next season.

I hope that Sheldon will call Penny and Leonard telling them Amy broke up him and that will stop them from eloping as well. I can see that happening cause if they do that would stop me from watching the show.I want them to be married I just don't want it to be like Friends Rachel Ross thing. I would be really mad. I hope that doesn't happen that way. I agree about Raj. and it would be nice too a good girlfriend for Stewart. It would also be fun for them to remold Howards house in the season just a little bit with some of the changes he's going through.

Since Leonard already "cheated" on Priya, it seems unlikely he would do the same, especially to Penny, who he has wanted to be with all this time. Hated that story line. The Raj story line was predictably Raj - there was no way he was going to dump her. I don't remember Emily being so weird when they first started dating. I didn't like the Lucy character, and with Raj's selective mutism being "cured", she would not fit with him the way she did when they were dating before. The Howard/Bernadette/Stuart story line was ok. I like Stuart on the show, now that he is much less pathetic than he used to be. Sheldon/Amy - I knew this would be the breakup couple, I did not see the ring coming. It seems weird that he would jump to marriage, but Sheldon isn't known for doing things the normal way!

They showed Leonard's kiss when it happened. I don't consider it cheating. They barely kissed and he stopped it.
I hope they elope and are just already married when the next season starts. I don't want any episode about planning or weddings.

Clearly my opinion will be in the minority here and that's fine. But I don't like Leonard and I really can't stand the idea of Penny tying herself to that cheating little hormunculous. While I know it's not necessarily true that once a cheater, always a cheater, I don't see that he's changed from the guy who cheated on Pria or sabotaged Sheldon in the North Pole (and only went to retrieve Sheldon from Texas because Penny basically made him).
And while I doubt the writers will go this way, it's my hope that Penny would re-evaluate the relationship after his confession. If she still goes into this with eyes wide open that's one thing. But I feel like she's there out of habit, or because he's the best she thinks she can do, or she's afraid of losing her circle of friends, or because she's getting older and it's time to settle done, or because the acting thing didn't work out and she doesn't want to be a failure at this also, or because her Dad liked him. It just doesn't seem like a healthy relationship to me. But then again healthy relationships don't often make for good ratings.
As for Sheldon and Amy, I can absolutely see him as having a ring because he is a planner and he's looking ahead to what he sees as the inevitable endgame. Things are progressing at his pace , Amy has played along, most of his social circle is heading that direction or already there and no doubt nudging him along, and his ego makes it difficult for him to allow for the variable of Amy finding someone else or getting tired of waiting. Reasons for Amy having stayed for so long may be similar to the reasons I listed above for Penny. She's nudging/dragging him along in this relationship where, at times, he seems reluctant. Yet she's not moving on as so many others would have. I think it's perfectly realistic that she's reevaluating and taking a break. It's a wonder she didn't do it sooner. But it's a shame it's happening now after so many years of him not being that into her.

You do understand that this is fiction ... comedy ... written to fit a 22-minute time slot once a week for half the year and meant to be profitable ... right? These are not real people. And if you think Sheldon hasn't been that "into" Amy until now, you haven't been watching very carefully. He has continually grown in the relationship over the years. He made the jump to boyfriend status when their relationship was threatened by Stuart asking Amy out. He initiated their first kiss. He told her he loved her before she could get the words out. I think it's totally natural for him to start thinking marriage, even before she does. And with that, I guess I'd better remind my own self that it's just fiction.

I totally agree with lucyg in regards to Sheldon. As for Leonard, I remember that "kiss" as well when he was on the boat - I don't consider that cheating. I'm mostly annoyed they used it as a tool to cause drama. How stupid. If they didn't want to have Penny and Leonard get married there was other ways.
