Raj and Howard

Always wondered what if in some parallel universe they really were a couple like Mrs. Beverly once said—

S3E15 the CERN trip

Since penny didn’t wanna see it, why couldn’t he take Sheldon to the actual conference but penny skiing after/before? Sheldon could’ve definitely payed for his own ticket!

Sheldon telling Amy “I love you”

Bawling my eyes out at this scene right now. Happened instantly. I love this show so much, I truly appreciate the way the characters love each other. Another scene like this was when Howard performed that song he wrote for Bernadette; I cried like a baby lmao 😭. While they all have their flaws (as they’re meant to), these characters really do a good job of loving each other and working their way into your heart 😭😭.

Howard could dish it out, but he couldn’t take it. That’s one thing that always used to bug me about his character. Did that bother anybody else?

The only thing I don't like about Penny's acting

The way she starts after some seasons to smirk or even giggle with Sheldon's punch lines when all the others have the usual reaction of hearing something awkward.

It's so irrelevant when she does it, like she is part of the audience or something.

Penny’s Clothes

ETA: watch any episode with the short hair and tell me those shirts are flattering.

What do you think about them? I think they could have done a way better job dressing her esp during the short hair era. Kayley Cuoco is gorgeous so everything she wears looks good but it seemed as the show got more popular, her clothes actually got worse.

Her character is comparable to Rachel Green from “Friends” in terms of popularity and looks, but Rachel’s outfits got better as the show went on.

I think they finally started dressing her correctly at the end when she gets the sales job, but really? It took that long?

Im not saying she always dressed bad, Anytime she put a dress on she was 🔥 but that’s just gonna happen, Penny will automatically be hot if she puts on a dress. That doesn’t count. What are your thoughts??

(PS Don’t get me started on Rajs layers)

Eta; I’m not saying she should have dressed like a 20 year old or she should have dressed slutty. There’s a way for her to dress flattering and still keep in line with her character and age

Alice

This is the one character who only appeared in a single episode that I wish we had more of... THIS would have been a very interesting arc. It could've ended the Priya storyline AND created a real battle for Leonard. Penny may have had to reckon with a girl who was cool, attractive, and had things in common with Leonard. She drew her own book, made jokes about conventions, and was openly and immediately attracted to Leonard. I wish he had got a chance to play this one out, even if Penny did eventually win him from her.

What did you think of Alice?

Do you have single episode characters that you wish we saw again?

Detail I noticed first time...

So in this episode lenny and penny are going to the movies as friends and he was worried about being overdressed. But then we see penny wearing a blazer (which I don't think we've ever seen her wear up until this episode).

I think this was such a clever way to show that maybe penny was also overthinking. We don't really get to see penny yearning or wanting him except for her being jealous of priya as we mostly see the series from the guys perspective. It's fun to find these details even after rewatching the show multiple times.

Sorry if this has been pointed out already...

Leonard is so whiney

for the first couple seasons i think hes a sweetie and i really enjoy his character but somewhere around season 3-4ish (i think maybe around when he finaly got together with penny for the first time) he kind of takes a turn for the worst. he gets so whiney and annoying and even though he does have some REALLY funny scenes his entitled “woe is me” guilt-trippy attitude just annoys me too much to really love them. i think penny fell in love with who he was in season 1 aswell and bless her but i really dont think thats the guy she married.
BUT dont get me wrong, i love this show and i have a soft spot for all of the characters including leonard.
