I think Leonard & Penny's engagement was perfect. The only time Penny thinks about marriage is when she feels her career in Hollywood is doomed. Penny's self esteem is based more on her career then on marriage -- and children. This is not a good basis for a marriage. And although Leonard is (and always will be) attracted to Penny, Penny has not always been attracted to Leonard. Penny has always been the more powerful one in their relationship. If a tall, good looking, attractive male actor comes along and shows interest in her, I think Penny would be sorely tested. This has already happend to Leonard, but he didn't even recognize that Sheldon's assistant was hitting on him.

My prediction is that that a baby won't happen until 9th ot 10th season. End of 8th season will be 1) Penny and Leonard will break up, and 2) Sheldon and Amy will get engaged (DESPITE Sheldon still being a virgin). Possibly Bernadette is pregnant, but not necessarily.

Although I DO like the idea of the last two lines of the series, as you present it.
