After 12 Seasons, Big Bang Theory Fans Never Made Peace With This Leonard's Decision

Summary:

• The Big Bang Theory premiered in 2017 and lasted for 12 seasons.
• At the center of the show are the daily lives of four best friends.
• Leonard and Penny’s romance is one of the sitcom’s main storylines – but one particular thing about it still bothers fans.

The Big Bang Theory is definitely one of the funniest sitcoms ever created. The nerd-centric show featuring four best friends never misses to make the viewers laugh with its quirky humor and the never-ending nonsense.

Raj, Sheldon, Howard and Leonard all have their own character traits that make them both lovable and annoying. But the main thing about them is that they all come as a package deal: you can’t take what’s good in them and leave to burn the rest or their creepy personalities.

However, it seems that in 12 seasons of the show, there was one character who didn’t get it anyway, and yes we are talking about none other than Penny.

You can throw tomatoes at us as long as you want, but Leonard’s decision to stay with Penny until death parts them is the stupidest one made in the series (and let us remind you that it’s the universe where Howard Wolowitz exists).

While many fans are happy the couple finally ended up married and even with Penny being okay with being pregnant, the bigger part of the fandom hates it. Especially since the writers gave us a glimpse of how healthy relationships can look like for Leonard.

For example, let’s take Alice, the girl he met at the comic book store and immediately clicked with. It was the time when he was dating Priya, so even though he liked Alice a lot, he decided he wanted to stay faithful to his girlfriend, only to discover later that he cheated on him.

The fans hated the outcome of the storyline and wished he made the call to Priya before Alice invited him over.

“They had more chemistry in this one episode (S5E7: The Good Guy Fluctuation) than he and Penny had the entire series,” Redditor LightFromYT said.

Another perfect candidate for the role of Leonard's healthy partner was Sheldon's assistant, Alex. She showed genuine interest in the man, liked him for his looks AND his brain, and never made a demeaning joke about him.

There is just one catch about Alex: she knew he was dating Penny and didn’t mind him cheating on her… Red flag? Guess so. But Penny is still not a green forest herself!
