If you read my post some time ago about The Big Bang Theory, you would know just how much I love it. The third season just started a few weeks ago, and I am STILL loving it!
Anyhow, so what else do I have to say about the show that I need to write a second post about it? For fellow Big Bang Theory lovers, you know that Penny (the hot blonde chick who lives across the hall and who has become one of the guys somehow) and Leonard (the geeky physicist who lives with the geekiest guy in the world, Sheldon) have hooked up. It happened right after the geeks came back from a 3-month expedition on the North Pole, courtesy of a study of Sheldon’s. I guess the separation made them (or Penny, rather) realize that there is something going on between the couple.
This brings me to my question: would anything like this actually happen in real life? Come on, while we have to admit that being a geek these days has become a rather cool thing, it’s still the hunky looking guys that gets the girls at the bar. If you don’t believe that, try going out tonight and hitting on some girls. (I am assuming you’re one of us.)
The Penny-Leonard thing is definitely one of the interesting plot points in the show, but I just can’t help but wonder if the writers are making a mistake on this. What do you guys say?
I think it’s working out fine, instead of dragging it out for many years like other shows do. I’ve heard of different stories where the geek gets the girl…he’s getting her interested in him while he’s in his natural environment instead of at a bar.
Now that’s an interesting story…let’s see how the spin the Penny-Leonard twist…
