Talk:The Anything Can Happen Recurrence/@comment-50.88.135.66-20140428160650

The interplay between Penny and Leonard has just become to difficult to watch. There is no chemistry, zero, not a shred. When they kiss it is like brother and sister. No passion. Just a lips closed tight lips smack. The body language speaks volumes. No matter physically how close, and that is rare, Penny leans away from Leonard a bit. The ‘good by’ kiss. The ‘welcome home’ kiss. The ‘thank you for the car’ kiss. Just iced over with cool indifference.

If Penny is in love with Leonard she does not show it. If the “I love you but I’m not in love with you’ expression has any validity then this is a prime example. Now penny has shown some true feeling for Leonard, once on Valentines Day and when she admitted she loved him in the hall. not a ringing endorsement of her deep abiding love

Penny is shallow, self serving and just average intelligence at best. She is a failure as an actress. Ten years and nothing to show for it. By her own admission she is a terrible waitress. Her morals are no longer in question, she appears to have none. She stole money from Leonard’s wallet to buy him a birthday gift. When asked by Sheldon if she had ever paid for a meal, she replied. “Not with money.” Do we need bother to ask with what?!?! She is promiscuous to the point of being a slut. She made out with Stuart, for all intent and purposes had sex with Raj and in between bouts with Leonard’s has had a plethora of sex partners. She married that mental non entity Zack and was so unwise she did not know it was real. In my estimation she asks Leonard to marry her almost out of desperation. It is her last viable option. Leonard apparently says yes and gives her a ring but has serious doubts of her real intent. She is settling and in that gifted intellect I think he knows the truth.

Leonard may be a brilliant scientist but he is spineless. Just no backbone. He lets Sheldon treat him like a bonded serf and he tolerates indifference, ignorance and any number of other insults and demeaning inflictions from both Sheldon and Penny. Good lord, in one episode he even calls his mother ‘Mommy’! A marriage to Penny is fraught with danger. Alex was a far better match for Leonard.
