They really do make the women depend on the men in this show- even Bernadette and Howard have fallen into that a bit this season! But I'm not sure at all why Leonard and Penny are still together since they only fight and have sex. It's like they're just too invested in the group dynamics to actually try and break up and move on.

My biggest problem with the show usually is the way they write Sheldon. When you view him as a guy with some kind of mental difference- autistic, asperger's, whatever, he's sympathetic and entertaining. But of course, this comedy will NEVER go there, and so instead Sheldon comes across as generally a terror who walks all over everybody around him and guilts them when they don't put up with him.

I'm sorry to hear that about Bernadette. And yeah, the writers have admitted that Leonard and Penny is their end game but I (like you) really can't see why outside of group dynamics and keeping everyone else happy - even though the Penny character has admitted several times to being terribly unhappy with Leonard and their relationship.

I'm actually glad (and really, really relieved) that they didn't (and probably won't) write Sheldon as someone with autism or asperger's or anything else. Assholism isn't a symptom of either condition and in the later seasons that's pretty much all Sheldon is. And frankly, even if they slapped a (probably poorly researched and poorly depicted) mental condition on him, it wouldn't make him sympathetic or entertaining to me because it'd be cheap characterization (and a poor excuse!) for his awful behavior. Sheldon should be compelling on his own merits. And people with mental issues get a bad enough rap in crime and medical dramas. They don't need to be blamed for Sheldon Cooper too.
