Thank you, tbbt, for taking on non-mom shamers. not everybody wants to have kids. not everybody wants to hear you say "oh, you'll change your mind." and thank you, penny, for taking them on. it's possible to be fulfilled without children. thank your coming to my ted talk.

The Procreation Calculation

[bobcobb301 · 6/10 · 5 October 2018]

Everything with Stuart and Howard just makes you shake your head at this point, but it wasn't the worst episode ever.

With this being the final season they are giving us some arcs with Raj being engaged and Penny and Leonard eventually deciding they want a baby. We just need more consistent funny week to week.

What Is This? All My Children?

[Hitchcoc · 6/10 · 30 November 2021]

I won't go into details but this show has become a soap opera. Lets get everyone married off so they can sail into the sunset. Lets put some conventional bumps in the road and have them deal with it. Weddings and children. It's so dull, moving away from the central life of this series.

Smooth Operator

This is a great episode but the highlight is the song Smooth Operator!

Penny and Leonard have been married for 3 years and in relationship more than 5,6 years and only now they talked about kids? Seriously, don't like how the story is written. Makes no sense.

Just jotting down my emotions...

2 minutes in, no laughs. 5 minutes in, slight chuckle at the image of Penny throwing a rock at a kid. 6 minutes in, hard cringing at Raj's arranged date with that awful woman. 9 minutes in, still no laughs. 13 minutes in, insane boredom sets in. The storylines are just stupid. Still no laughs. 14 minutes in, hatred for Amy rises. Who does she think she is to meddle in Penny's life decisions? 16 minutes in, 2 seconds of happiness. Penny's dad has a line! I love that guy! 18 minutes in, confusion. Why the hell does this awful woman propose to Raj? And why would he say yes? 20 minutes in, I feel unsatisfied. No conflict is resolved, no argument is ever truly over. Still not a single laugh in this episode.

So all in all, it was a pretty terrible episode, but perfectly in line with almost every single episode since about season 6. What was once clever jokes and lovable nerds became a dull and shallow show to convince everyone that even ugly weirdos can and will find love. Well, whatever the writers portray as love, even if no real person would endure this kind of verbal abuse for more than a week.

Love the show hated this episode

Penny decides she doesn't want kids and everyone yells at her, drove me insane, not everyone wants them and they don't have to have them

Penny is Awful

[tarnishedhalotx · 4/10 · 29 January 2022]

I dislike her more and more with each season. She's selfish and shallow & Leonard's a whiny littly beotch.

As for Raj, nothing against arranged marriage, wish they were more common, but that chick is blech.

Me no likey

[dekkyca · 4/10 · 8 October 2018]

I don't like where Penny and Leonard story is going. I don't like the fact that she doesn't want to have kids. I hope that they will change their story at the end because it will be perfect ending for them and their story because seriously they didn't move forward since season 9 when they got married. I don't like Stuart part also, too much about him and not much about Sheldon and Amy. I'm little disappointed to be honest. I really like this series and I followed it through the years. I hope it will be happy ending.
