Talk:Emily Sweeney/@comment-76.116.144.72-20141231161444

Emily being more into the macabre is a good contrast to Raj's sweet and sometime naive personality. Like how every other couple has something contrasting between them. I honestly see her and Bernadette getting along because of that 'dark side'. Lucy was cute, but I can't see two insecure people in a healthy relationship if only one of them was actively trying to improve the other. Emily likes Raj's quirkiness and he's okay with her...tastes and they both seem to really blossom as a couple on screen. Which I like. Here's a beautiful woman who's weird that likes Raj just the way he is that has little to no desire to use him.

As for her not liking Penny...well from the outside looking in it's understandable. If Raj has been talking to her about all his friends, Penny seems like the oddball/user. Her passion has nothing in common with anyone's interests, she only knows them through her relationship with  Leonard, which on that note is based on his infatuation with her that led to many breakups and proposals before getting engaged, her job was somewhat given by Bernadette's help, and now she found out that she semi-slept with her current boyfriend years ago due to being in a drunken stupor (which I'm betting Raj has told her it's not Penny's first time). I can understand her not liking Penny at first, and she's not entitled to like her immediately or at all. But from where the girls left off with a public politness infront of their boyfriends and inner distain, it's believable until Penny and Emily get another episode or two to focus on their relationship.

Not only that, but Emily/Penny's frostiness adds drama. It's not new drama though. Many girls that the guys have dated are intimidated by how close Penny is with Leonard and the others. Again, from the outside looking in, no woman wants the possiblity that another woman has a priority or influence in her lover's life. Even Amy has admitted jealously of Penny's relationship with Sheldon.

The only way I can see Emily being written to be too 'posessive' or in a way to make her deliberately unlikeable is if she finds out that Bernadette was another crush of Raj's. In turn, she might want him to stop hanging out with all of his friends. But that's another Priya.

But for now she's okay. She's not a girl that liked someone else before him (Alex) or is so insecure she can't date him (Lucy).
