Man, Denise must really be into Stuart to get so upset. Her paintball skills are awesome and ouchy! Stuart better not cross her again because she would be hard to replace.

While she doesn’t come across as the rabbit-boiling-type; she definitely isn’t the shrinking-violet-type when it comes to expressing herself/taking action when things are not to her liking.

Think she is good for Stuart; and he is lucky to have her (awesome paintball skills and all).

Think she is just the kind of person he needs. Someone willing to call him on his sad-sack-need to doubt himself. Someone willing to drag him—kicking and screaming if need be—forward.

(Sussman is so great as Stuart—too bad there is no award for facial expressions, he’d be a lock. It’s amazing how often he sales-a-scene with just the look on his face.)

Didn't it seem odd, though, that Denise didn't seem to know Stuart was chock-full of nerdly goodness, until Sheldon and Amy's wedding?

Could it have been mostly about the setting? She MUST have heard Stuart talking about Star Wars trivia - minutiae, even - at the store. And on their dates, and maybe in his sleep...

All these women the guys marry are not the sweet docile ones from the old (50s and 60s) shows.

Confident.

As all these women get so "confident" these days they don't even think they need men anymore! Soon we'll have a whole generation of men like me who have nobody cuz all the women have decided they don't need anybody but themselves! There needs to be a happy medium between the women of the 50s and the women of today or the human race will die out.

How many TBBT episodes were written by women?

They must have at least a dozen writers on the staff. Plus Lorre and Prady. Probably mostly men.

I suppose a variety of people make suggestions etc. But I don't remember seeing a lot of women writers in the on-screen credits.

Probably "50s"/"60s" they were all men.

To misquote I have no idea who...

No matter how much cats fight, there always seems to be a lot of kittens running around.

Denise the Menace. Compared to Bernie, Penny, Debbie ?

Well let's not forget original Star Trek, just for one example from the 60s. Dorothy Fontana, Shari Lewis...

Denise Power.


Side note:

Should there be a spinoff "Stuart and Denise"?

Or perhaps "The Tiny Bang Theory?"

Or to borrow a phrase that fits Stuart, "Not With A Bang, But With A Whimper?"
