Totally agree with you 81.129.159.120; I had similar thoughts today. I love TBBT, but this episode bothers me on a multitude of levels; for one, Leonard and Penny had no right to ask Sheldon to vacate the big apartment as that was his home first; Leonard became Sheldon’s roommate, not the other way around. So Sheldon has the right to say who will live there and who will not. As well, they all three have in essence been living together for years anyway, so why can’t that just continue?! It bothers me further that Leonard and Penny could let Sheldon go away without even taking Amy into consideration at all. They must have known what it would do to her, how devastated she would be! There is no way anyone knowing the character would have believed she’d be all right about his leaving; she would be heartbroken, as she apparently is by her final scene in the finale. She obviously loves Sheldon to have stuck with him for this long, though she has never said it aloud. She has really gotten a raw deal, especially to have come so far in their relationship this season, to have made all that progress, only to have it squashed in the end! It’s the ultimate raw deal, but as someone mentioned here, the series is acting like a melodrama as much as a comedy now. I have always enjoyed the mix as it has made the show seem more real and more interesting. However, this finale is just too real and too painful, and less funny. Good for Stuart though. His life will work out now. Hurrah, for a secondary character!
