81.129.159.120, I think we are definitely on the same wave length, and I agree with you completely again. I'm pretty upset with the writers of the show for the handling of this final episode of the season. It does not seem to do justice to the characters on many levels. Maybe they are setting us up for something great to happen in Season 8, but though I love the show, I do not like that they don't always follow thru on things or if they do, it could be months later. It definitely does not make sense to have had Penny and Leonard let Sheldon go knowing how he is. It feels selfish to me on some level, though I realize that may be harsh, and probably wrong. I hope so anyway. I also find it cruel that they wouldn't think of Amy in all this, as mentioned before, especially as 132.170.95.207 pointed out that Penny had given Amy a heads-up before. It just feels like a plot ploy that's a cheat this time, if that makes sense. I understand Sheldon freaking out, knowing how he is, and I'm fine with the writers sending a character away end of each season, but why they could not think to send Amy with him. Maybe she will go after him at some point. On the fan website, there is already a ton of fan fiction deriving from the season finale episode. It's very interesting how much people care about those characters, as you mentioned, and I do blame the writers for that, in a good way. They have written intelligent, interesting characters, and they do make us care, which is why ending the season this way feels all the more painful and personal, somehow. I've written a letter to Chuck Lorre, Bill Prady, and Steve Molaro telling them so.
