This show resonates with me because I've met people like them, here's my take:

Lately I've noted a number of contradictions, at times it feels like the writers aren't sure where they want to go with the plot lines. The only two people with any credible consistency is Howard and Bernadette. The remaining characters are all over the place, and although the romantic in me wants to see them all hook up nice and proper, I'm starting to get uncomforable with the humiliation most have to go through to get there.

Sheldon kissed Amy, we all agree he 'liked' it but he's made no attempt to followup with a second kiss (it's been explicitly stated that there was only one kiss). That doesn't seem realistic. Did he not like feeling of mushy lips? Either he's asexual or he's not... I'd like to think their relationship agreement is defunct now. Will he revise the old contract, which is now nul and void - or was this another 'mistake' by the writers and director? Will the upcoming sight of his mother having sex transform him? Sheldon can still enjoy his trains and comic books and be in a relationship. Heaven forbid, right? I sense the longer Amy goes without having a physical relationship, the more she's there for his friends, whom she has usurped. Three years in a relationship with only handholding and one kiss? They're losing me on this...

I'm glad they finally 'fixed' Raj. (I know someone who has the same condition, so I understand the character's connundrum a little bit.) This is fiction though, you don't create a character that can't talk to women and expect to generate an ongoing storyline for him. He's been entirely a supporting character and it's nice to see him step out into his own. I would like to point out, from personal experience, that in an university Astronomy department, he'd be able to find a girlfriend easy (trust me)... there are a lot girls pursuing astronomy.

Lenny and Penny... I don't even know where to begin, other than they bore me, possibly because the character's look like they bore each other. The only thing they do together is have sex and eat dinner, what happen to the days of rolling skating, paintballing - there's a world of humorous opportunity out there, they need to get out more. (Oh wait, they went to the movies together this season and he made her sit through the credits...) Lately, it just feels like Penny's a soundboard for Lenny to complain about Sheldon between begging for sex. I'm glad they made her more proactive in her acting career, hopefully that will add fire to their relationship.

Well you asked what we all felt our weaknesses were... I offer mine above...
