CherryAmes October 22, 2014 Share October 22, 2014 Penny as a serious career woman just leaves Leonard in an inferior position. It's out of balance now. Would you have felt the same way if Penny had finally had some success as an actress. I know a lot of people posting here (and over at TWOP) were certainly rooting for that but I don't know if they also felt that were that to happen it would mean Leonard would be inferior to her.

JudyObscure October 22, 2014 Share October 22, 2014 Probably wouldn't have felt the relationship was as out of balance if Penny had been more successful as an actress. I guess I always saw Penny's assets as her beauty and her artistic creativity while Leonard's were his brains and his kind personality. I'm not sure exactly what skills it takes to make a great pharm-rep but it seems out of character for the Penny I've known and changes what I thought of as their relationship dynamic -- but of course that's all subject to change and I guess it has.

But they are also smart, even if not educated in our specific sector. Sales is as much about personality and customer service as product knowledge. I think Penny and Leonard's formula is simple. They make each other feel special. Leonard was raised by emotionally unavailable parents who always made him feel not good enough. Penny has dated a long line of guys who just wanted a cute blond, and any cute blond would do.

My belief is that she was just lazy intellectually because pretty was getting her by...until it wasn't.

The glue scene was a bit odd because it seemed like it was directed and acted as though we were seeing drunk!Penny, but some of the dialogue suggested it was written to be dumb!Penny. An example of non-alcoholic dumbness was her asking Prof Proton if he used a trick clock or a trick potato. Actually, they also dumbed down Sheldon in that one; the real Sheldon wouldn't have said that the egg would be sucked into the flask because it technically gets pushed in by the air pressure in the room and he's a stickler for details like that.

I have known plenty of people like that in real life who got by on their looks and didn't apply themselves and then age happened and they got stuck in menial jobs. My favorite two Penny scenes actually involved Sheldon. One was when Sheldon and Penny were at a bar talking about Star Trek and Kirk and the Kobasi Maru test and how he past ot.

There are two ways of winning at chess. One is to have the right kind of visual skills (as Penny probably does). The other is to be able to think through the potential consequences of each possible move in depth. The latter is what computers do, and likely what Leonard does, except that he's not as fast as a computer, and his habit of overthinking things will lead him to over-analyze some moves at the expense of others.

Maybe if you have a big-budget movie and want to have a currently-big-name star, but then you're taking a risk. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/910-pennykaley-cuoco-what-is-her-last-name/page/2/#findComment-741586
stealinghome January 29, 2015 Share January 29, 2015 Yeah, I really enjoy KCS as Penny. I'm the first to say I don't think she's the most talented actor/actress on the show, but the camera just loves her--she gives great, great reaction shots and is very charismatic--and you can't manufacture that kind of charisma. In group scenes, my eye is always drawn to her or Jim Parsons; they just have that "it" factor, that screen presence. Plus, I kind of think she's the show's glue insofar as she's everyone else's best screen partner. I think all the other actors have more chemistry as actors with Cuoco Sweeting than they have with anyone else on the show. She brings out the best in the cast. Also, to be perfectly honest, I suspect that several of the actors on this show play a version of themselves. I find Jim Parsons to be very Sheldon-like IRL, and Howard's skeeziness aside, I would say the same for Simon Helberg and Wolowitz. 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/910-pennykaley-cuoco-what-is-her-last-name/page/2/#findComment-770971
Mama No Life April 12, 2015 Share April 12, 2015 Is it just me or has she totally changed her style since cutting her hair? She is always in the same thing....long sleeves and skinny pants. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/910-pennykaley-cuoco-what-is-her-last-name/page/2/#findComment-1026174
theatremouse April 12, 2015 Share April 12, 2015 Unclear if the styling change corresponds to the haircut or the character's new job. (Wait, I'm assuming you mean Penny's styling not Kaley's?)

I believe I read somewhere that Chuck Lorre has said we will never find out Penny's last name. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/910-pennykaley-cuoco-what-is-her-last-name/page/2/#findComment-1248652
pandora spocks June 17, 2015 Share June 17, 2015 I believe I read somewhere that Chuck Lorre has said we will never find out Penny's last name. Alrighty, then. Thanks, I'll erase this mystery from my pop culture list. The only thing left is what Malcolm's last name was on Malcolm In the Middle.
