I love the ladies of The Big Bang Theory. For all the yelling that Penny is a blonde bombshell stereotype, she’s also pretty badass. From the first season right up to last week’s season finale, her character has been strongly rooted in a back-story which centers on her family. She moved to L.A. to become an actress and wasn’t above working other jobs to pay the bills while she auditioned. If the guys ever try to play knight in shining armor, she ends up standing up to the bully of the week and getting their stuff back. And once she becomes part of the group, she is protective of her friends and willing to learn from them while teaching them in areas where they lack skills – like “normal” social interaction. Call me crazy… but in terms of character? These are all really good things.
