I heard that word also....but they need to be building toward that and so far..... nothing. Hoping that will change this week. I'd really like some hint as to how their stories will end after all these years. The only bit of that they might have suggested is Howard and Stuart writing/illustrating children's books, and I don't know how realistic that is in terms of making a good living unless they come up with an idea on the level of Harry Potter (or something approaching that).

Well, did they make any progress toward the "epic" finale last night? It looked like Leonard and Penny might be moving away, but then L got a job he's excited about at the same university, so unless that changes, they're not leaving. Not much forward movement with the other couples. The coming attractions hint that perhaps Sheldon and Amy will win the Nobel Prize, but we've known that could happen.

It’s all Sheldon’s ever wanted.

If they don't win it, then I am pretty sure they have the baby to be their big announcement....but otherwise I don't see epic in any story lines. Now saying that, I did miss last night so if anybody can give us information I would be happy. **smiles**

Last night it came out that one of the frauds had plagiarized his thesis and the other one was sleeping with his wife. They pretty much self-destructed after that.

So that leaves A and S in the lead for the NP??? Anything else major in other story lines?

I missed the last minute of the show, but I saw the part about the plagiarism, and Amy and Sheldon saying they wouldn't report it to the Nobel committee, so I'm not clear how that and the personal relationship between the two frauds would affect them winning or not. Did they say they'd withdraw themselves from the competition? If so, I think this is a lame way for A & S to win. Haven't seen anything epic yet with the other couples. Three episodes left.

Did you see the part where the guy who didn’t plagiarize came in to see Sheldon and Amy drunk? He admitted to outing his partner and much more. After Sheldon and Amy found out Leonard had the proof of plagiarism they gave it to the frauds.

That's a good way to end their story, but I think Amy being pregnant in addition to that would be a nice surprise. It's so much fun to think of Sheldon as a father.

I'll bet it would be just as precious as when he first saw Amy in the wedding dress.

Boy, has this gone downhill in popularity. I have to blame the terrible writing and lack of any kind of suspense as to how it will end.
Glad that L and his mother had a moment...one loose end tied up. The Raj thing went nowhere. There never was much between him and the girl friend...but now he is back to being lonely....with nothing changing.
Stuart has prospects for money and happiness. Unless they blow it out of the water next week for the hour long finale, TBBT goes out with a whimper not a bang.

He was willing to lose that romantic part of him to marry someone he likes because he wants marriage and a family. Howard reminded him that he deserves the romance that is such a big part of his personality. He needs to marry for love. Its not so much that he is lonely, its that he is okay waiting for the right one and not settling. He has love, the love of his friends. I'm glad they gave Stuart somewhat of a send off. We might not know if he gets rich, but he is in love.

We might not know if he gets rich, but he is in love. I have to admit, I do not have the hate for the season, or last, as some here do. In fact, I stopped posting or even reading the posts here as much because there was so much negativity about the show and the writing and characters. Personally, I just do not see it... so what ever I did post I tried to remain positive. Overall has it lagged a bit, yeah.. but it has been how many years?! I think it would be boring to have all of them married and with children, why give them that cookie cutter ending? I don't think Sheldon and Amy need to be pregnant at the end of this and nor do I think Penny has to be as well. We all know that Sheldon and Amy have children (well those of us that watch YS) so why plop that in here now? Raj doesn't need to be with someone just to be with someone the way he walked away from the relationship knowing he was loved showed substantial growth for him. Just as Leonard showed growth by seeing in order for his mother to accept him he also needed to accept her.. that forgiveness scene was very powerful with very little words and I was happy to see it resolved for them and I was THRILLED to see Penny have his back. So many here trash that relationship and say that is is going no where and is toxic whatever you wanna put in there.. but I see it as one of the most real of the group. I love it because it isn't perfect and they have such a special love that kept them gravitating back to one another in such a natural way over the years. I will miss the show when it is done, I still look forward to it each week and I will always love the characters they brought to life.

Raj would have married any of the many girlfriends they have given him over the years. I don't think the ending of that relationship was anything out of the ordinary as she --like all of them---ended it. We don't know if she would have agreed to marry him. I think not because she chose to stay in England with no concern for Raj's feelings about the decision.
I said earlier that they needed to get him a nice young man since the women apparently are rejecting him because of his ambivalence about his sexuality.

I guess she is still associated with TBBT---Saw that Laurie Metcalf got her third Tony nomination in three years----she won the last two.
Hope we see her on the finale.

Did I miss the part where Raj was presented as ambivalent about his sexuality? Why is a man judged as possibly gay because he has a close relationship with his male bff? Loving female friendships aren't seen the same way, or were the four women on SATC possibly lesbians?
I can't imagine what the ending will be, but one of the producers was quoted as saying he didn't think any fans could possibly be disappointed with it.

I can't imagine what the ending will be, but one of the producers was quoted as saying he didn't think any fans could possibly be disappointed with it. I always saw his misconstrued comments as something of a language/translation issue. The sentiment was there for what he really meant, but given it is not his first language and the fact we have some stupid idioms and such, he wasn't verbally conveying what he really meant.. I never thought he was repressed in any way or even ambivalent as far as his sexuality. We as Americans have FAR different views on things like that than most of the world does, what we see as ambivalent others see as fluid or having security in your manhood to be less macho or what have you. He is a simple, sappy, romantic however and knowing that he DIDN'T have to settle was great. Making him gay or forcing him to be married is the same as making everyone who can be pregnant on the show pregnant.. its not needed to show growth and fulfillment. It is a cop-out ending, and i still hope they do not go that way. Heck as long as Bernie doesn't find a dragon and torch half of California it has to be better than what my other season enders have been this week.

I can't imagine how this is going to end. I guess they're priding themselves on not giving us a clue, except for the possible Nobel prize for Sheldon and Amy. I hope they do right by Leonard and Penny because their relationship since marriage has been so obviously lackluster despite having gone on the longest.

The Noble Prize is the only story line that has had an arc...otherwise, there has been nothing for the others. I am guessing that Amy being pregnant, which we have been guessing, will be the "epic" disclosure....with or without the NP.

Post by AlwaysVeg on May 15, 2019 21:08:57 GMT
I figured Amy might be pregnant, with or without the NP. But I really wonder about Leonard and Penny, as their relationship has been a major, recurring story from the beginning. I can't imagine how the writers will do it justice in the finale. A pregnancy is all I can come up with, but that's because I have a limited imagination. However, Penny was adamant about not wanting Leonard to father a child with the wife of her former boyfriend while saying she doesn't want a child herself. That's the only "hint" we've had about them. One more day to wait!

The Young Sheldon that follows tonight's BBT is supposed to be tied into the BBT finale, which makes more sense if BBT concludes tonight.

I didn't know that about YS---that is interesting that they predict something on YS that is shown on TBBT finale.
