Storyline
Following Ramona kissing him, Sheldon has flown to New Jersey to ask Amy to marry him in the realization that he wants Amy to be the only woman ever to kiss him. Before doing so, he believes he has asked the advice and permission from the appropriate person. What happens with the proposal may depend on how Sheldon acts around Amy's Princeton colleagues, who only know of her brilliance and not his idiosyncrasies. Meanwhile, Bernadette and Howard learn of another upcoming change to their personal situation. In trying to deal with the surprising turn of events, Bernadette and Howard look to Leonard and Penny not so much for advice but rather to ask them for a favor in dealing with the news a bit easier. And in light of Sheldon's marriage proposal, the two singletons, Raj and Stuart, continue to commiserate with each other. Their want to do so may change with a turn of fortunes. Written by Huggo

Sheldon had no interest in romantic relationships of any kind. The only people he cared about were Professor Hawking, Mister Spock, and Doctor Doom.
Leonard was hopelessly in love with Penny, with the emphasis on hopeless.
Penny waited tables, and only dated big, handsome, dumb guys.
Wolowitz thought he was god's gift to women, when in fact he was more of a divine punishment.
Raj was so neurotic, he could not speak if there was a woman in the room. Unless he drank alcohol, at which point he would've been better off keeping his mouth shut.
And Amy and Bernadette were an answer to prayers we didn't know we had.
All of which makes you wonder about the next ten years.
Kidding.

One of the worst episodes of TBBT, it was a total disaster for a lovely show. I mean it could not make you laugh, not a simple one. They should have finished it when they were on top. Peny and Leonard are acting very cold and artificial, seems they hate each other but have to come along. I loved Sheldon and Amy when they were both nerds, the writers made a huge mistake changing Amy's personality from a nerd girl to an emotional one. I personally hate Bernadette's character because she has ruined Howard as we knew him, a funny nerd with his idiotic actions. Raj's character evolved to the worst way possible, now he is completely stuck to other characters and basically is not funny anymore. I cannot believe this show with such brilliant ideas till its 5th season is now like this. It is just too painful to see there is no new story and no interesting event in their storyline. You can say the best character of this show is Stuart now since he is the same as he was before.
