It's too bad Leslie couldn't appear in the last season, if only just for a second, applauding Sheldon's Noble Prize.

Oh no wait, she's probably hiding, scared of Amy. And she'd have to admit that he is smarter than she.

I wasn't on Team Shamy. That last season sucked except for the Shatner cameo and a couple other spots.

I wouldn't have minded if Sheldon/Amy didn't get the Nobel before the end. But the way they did it wasn't so bad, with Sheldon having to admit that it was far from a personal achievement. Unfortunately, the past pattern would suggest that Sheldon didn't remember his speech immediately after giving it, and had reverted to his Season 1 behavior in the final scene.

And he did say, "In my way, I love you all." The problem is, "his way" is a very self-centered way.

I think it would have been worse, though, if Leonard and Penny ended the show "childless." And much worse if, as some people suggested, Penny finds out she's pregnant and gets an abortion, maybe without ever telling Leonard. What kind of mind thinks of things like that? And the reality - the TV reality, at least - is that no "sitcom" has included an abortion since Maude in 1972, not in the US anyway. For good reason.

Maybe she could just keep reminding him that his great ideas weren't really his. Leonard thought of the stuff that led to the gyroscope etc, and his mother and Amy basically came up with super-asymmetry. Sheldon pretty much just did the math.
