Possibly the most disappointing episode ever. After waiting so long for Leonard and Penny to finally marry, the episode delivered a charcoal sketch of what should have been an attempt at a master work. The entire effort of the writers seems to have been to get passed the wedding so they could get to the post-nuptial discord.
With this storyline, the writers can now unite Leonard and Sheldon against Penny and Amy and drag out all the relationship clichés. I hope they at least take a moment to dust off the clichés before shoving them center stage. I think everyone has had enough of the on-again off-again disconnect between Penny and Leonard, and by extension, do not want a rehash with Sheldon and Amy.
A "new start" motif would have been a general relief, but that opportunity has been lost. As others have noted, perhaps The Big Bang Theory has "jumped the shark".
