Forum:Season 8 changes I would like to see

Change is good, even if it is with Sheldon. Here are some of the changes I want to see in season 8:

1. With all our characters really happy, I feel sorry for Stuart who had to burn down his own store for the insurance. I would like to see him getting promoted to the main cast and see his life getting a little more successful. After all, he is the only non-genius male in the group.

2. Raj with Emily is really something I appreciate and I wish Emily becomes a part of their group too. It would be nice to finally see a red hair in the group.

3. I may have spoken too soon. Yes, change is good but when it is with Sheldon, I'd appreciate it if you only take away his germophobia and lack of adapting to change. Please retain the otherwise innocent and child like nature of his.

4. Bring more life to Howard. People are starting to think he has become useless after the marriage. That is not true. Even when married and matured, Howard's character has scope for more humour. 

5. Amy deserves more focus. She can evolve a little more as a character and stop following Sheldon always begging for his attention and longing for his touch.

6. Where the hell did Dr. and Mrs. Koothrapalli go??? It would be fun to see them back. 

7. More humour can be tapped in the area of Mr. Rostenkowski- Sheldon friendship.

8. The talk of Sheldon's and Leonard's childhoods always interests me. Growing up in a household that is very difficult to adapt to. An occasional flashbacks of their childhoods and a kid Leonard and kid Sheldon's llife can be good too.

9. Bring back Zack. I know it sounds crazy but he really didn't have any friends because he is so stupid. It would be funny if he decides to hang out with our group again, by or against their will. I mean, how often can you see a stupid guy in TBBT?

10. Show the guys more often at the university. And please bring back more Kripke and Leslie winkle moments.

11. This may sound crazy too but make Bernadette pregnant and let us have a junior Howard. I mean, wont it be so much more fun with a kid around??

Please tell me your opinion about these changes and which of these you approve and which you dont.

1. We don't know if Stuart did really burn down the comic book store. He just told Raj and Howard that almost everyone asked him if he did that for the insurance. I would hope he did no such thing. Making him a criminal is out of the themes of TBBT, and also a very sad thing for the fans. I hope he has more success in life in the coming seasons, perhaps a start in an art career. After all he went to art school and can draw beautifully (not to mention he has an extensive knowledge in comics).

3. I wonder if Sheldon is gonna pick up some new habits in his self-exile, and if he would lose his grant and job in the university for running away like that (now that would be a radical thing for him).

6. DYING to see Raj's parents! And they have been absent in the past two seasons. Please bring them back!

9. I like Zack. He's a lovable character. But the thing about him being ultra-stupid is getting stale. Hope we can see more dimensions of him.

10. I often wonder what happened to Leslie Winkle. It would be great to bring her back occasionally.

11. If any of the pairs was going to have a baby, that baby would only be 2 by the end of season 10. I realize a theme on the show is about the growth of the characters. But personally I think taking care of an infant would lessen the humor, and I am not too enthusiastic to see that.

Additional points:

12. I believe keeping Penny's family name hidden from the audience is an obvious way to make her an object of fascination to Leonard. But it's been seven years already. I believe we the audience have grown to see her as flesh and blood, and that last name gag is really running very very thin. And I don't want her last name to be "dutifully" revealed in her wedding, as expected by everyone generally. Even though the movie Serial Ape-ist 2: Monkey See, Monkey Kill is definitely going to suck, perhaps someone in the industry will see Penny has made an effort in the acting and is good at that, and get her to do some serious project. And then we get to know her last name. Just reveal that anywhere anywhen but the wedding!

13. I hope the show would finally set Raj's career straight and clear. Is he working in astrophysics, or is he still working for Sheldon? That has been left unclear since season 3 (!). And now the show seems to have trouble addressing his career. Please fix that soon!

14. Would like to see more siblings of the main characters. So far we only have Priya and Missy. And I want the show to have Vince Gilligan play Penny's brother. Just let the makeup department deal with the age difficulty.
