70.215.6.59 are you reading my thoughts or what  J   One final comment regarding the end of this episode and then I am going to get a life.

Sheldon here seems to be at a point of total meltdown aiming to ‘run away’ (as children do) because he cannot cope, yet no one –except perhaps Amy – seems to worry or think he may need help and support. Though Leonard points out to Penny, that Sheldon may appear adult but is in many ways still childlike, Penny disregards this and persuades Leonard to let him go – it’s for the best. Really – this is a man who cannot drive, gets lost when he travels on buses, has difficulty in interacting   verbally and physically   with people he knows let alone strangers and on top of which is trying to deal with (or deny) emotions that are strange and difficult. So not only did they suggest that Sheldon move out of his own apartment (this to a man who could not stand to have a new table), they seem willing to let a guy who was slowly learning to connect with the people in his life, go back to being isolated and on his own which I find extremely sad, and hardly the actions of people who are supposed to be his friends.

I don’t know what the writers were thinking of here but in my view they have not done credit to either Penny or Leonard. I know that there are those who think that Leonard and Penny did the right thing letting him go his own way – but this is just my opinion. And yes I know that this is just a TV show, but the writers have created great characters that we care about and so it is ''' all their fault!! ''' Sorry to have taken up so much space
