theres no guilt to be felt when the show is THIS AWESOME!! i LOVE getting people into shows, especially if its a show that they might not have otherwise watched. i did it with all of my roommates in florida and 'how i met your mother'.
and i COMPLETELY get what you mean about leonard/penny. there was even an interview where kaley cuoco was talking about how penny is molding leonard into the man she wants him to be, and that just kinda sat wrong with me. like, why bother, if you have to change him just so that you can be with him? and i probably shouldnt be taking the actors' words for much, because she also said that she thought penny was very naive, which i disagree with, but its just kinda soured me on the idea of leonard and penny. as tired as it sounds (though maybe thats just because i always 'ship the bickering pairs), sheldon challenges her, and i think its something she needs. penny does definitely deserve a good guy, but i just cant, in my mind, reconcile 'shipping her with leonard, if only because i really see it as settling. right now, she doesnt really know what she wants out of life, and leonard would never be the one to give her a kick in the ass and tell her to figure it out. sheldon WOULD. sheldon would call her on her bullshit because he sees how illogical it is, and she would call him on his bullshit because she sees how unnecessary it is, and then theyd just live happily ever after.
