Thanks for the new thread. Love the title

TFTNT!

Our title is made of win.

**SuperGirl** · 12-09-2009, 02:15 PM

The title is perrrrrfect.

chemistry86 · 12-09-2009, 02:27 PM

YW guys. I love this title too

I love this scene the most in this episode. It made me realize why I ship S/P. I dunno if it's in the script or that's how Kaley plays the character but sometimes it looks like Penny has a crush on Sheldon. I don't blame her though, if I was Penny I'd be interested in the unresponsive nerd too. Like he presents a challenge the other nerds don't so it makes her curious.

credit arabian of course!

fantomette · 12-09-2009, 02:32 PM

they were totally wearing matching outfits in that scenes!!! cute!

It does.

She was so happy/shy in that scene. She was glowing.

tash26 · 12-09-2009, 02:38 PM

Thanks for the caps....I can't get over how happy Penny looks

This is why I ship them. In between the comedy and snark, they have these incredible sweet moments.

chemistry86 · 12-09-2009, 02:45 PM

IKR? And then at the end when she had memorized all the physics stuff for Leonard, she spent all her time gaging Sheldon's reaction to what she had said. She totally forgot she had done it for Leonard.

Do you think she was unaware that she was dissing his work? lol.

I also find it odd that when Leonard/Bernadette went off to see his work on the laptop Howard couldn't stop looking at them because he was green with envy. Penny on the hand was completely distracted by Sheldon and forgot to even care her bf was spending time with a girl who was more experienced in his field of interest.

Karma Police · 12-09-2009, 02:53 PM

Penny seemed so uninterested by Leonard this episode. OK she wanted to learn physics for him - which is a stupid reason to begin with - but she didn't really bother that a cute girl was drawing his attention. And of course in the last scene where she was more concentrated not to mess up, thus looked at Sheldon all the time and not at her bf who she wanted to impress.

tash26 · 12-09-2009, 03:00 PM

Oh, just read an interesting fact. I don't have a cap right now, but I just read the shirt Sheldon was wearing during the last scene (when Penny recited her physics knowledge) is the Green Lantern symbol for love. It think this is the first time we have seen Sheldon wear that shirt. Subliminal messages anyone

I don't even take her wanting to learn physics for Leonard seriously. It was just a plot point for S/P anyways. And it's not even good if you consider the implications of her wanting to know only after Leonard had something in common with another girl.

Something I read made me curious. Does Penny even care about her relationship with Leonard? All her other boyfriends cheated on her so for her to have no reaction to Leonard with someone else looks like she isn't even invested enough to wonder or care.

I saw that too in arabian’s break down. I am not sure if it was intentional or not. But one cannot deny that all of Sheldon’s tender moments arise from his scenes with Penny.

It's cute but it's very odd, lol. Usually when two character's clothes are coordinated it's because the writers want you to focus on the two of them...as a couple.

If anyone watches GG they'll know what I mean. Before Chuck/Blair's hook up happened, their clothes actually matched all the time.

It was almost deliberate, but on this show Sheldon is not hooking up with Penny, atleast not anytime soon if ever so it was bizzare when I realized this.

What I'm wondering is why she didn't just ask Leonard what he does. I don't really buy the "surprise" thing. It would have meant bonding, he probably could have explained it in a simpler and better way than Sheldon did, and then maybe she could resolve some of her insecurity issues. But instead we just get Penny repeating Sheldon's diss (which I loved to death, don't get me wrong, I just find it weird how the main couple is being written so badly...).

Kai_Abercrombie · 12-09-2009, 04:00 PM

for a new thread.

Love the title.

I think it was a plot point for the story to unfold. They just brought it up so that Sheldon could teach Penny physics. The needed to stick that in so S/P doesn't look like a flat out couple because it would look odd if Penny randomly wanted to be taught physics by Sheldon when her boyfriend was off with some other girl.
