Allow me to top you by writing a multi-paragraph comment that amounts to "Yeah, I agree with you agreeing with me."

I still standby the fact Penny was at her most interesting in "The Shell" and that it was borderline criminal for the show to never properly capitalize on it. Not only was a potentially interesting character squandered as a result, but the main protagonist's girlfriend, a character that the show loves to treat like a big deal, feels like a non-entity most of the time.

Admittedly, a lot of my issues with Rob can be traced to poor pacing on behalf of the writers, but I think there is enough overlap between the two sides of the issue (pacing and neglect) that it was worth mentioning in the article.

Interesting that you bring up the writers winging a lot of these elements. I would not be too surprised if that was the case. A lot of these things, the Darwin/Carrie subplot, seem secondary to the show. Almost to the point that there is no real forethought put into how everything plays out. A shame, as looking at it, a little bit more forethought would have gone a long way.

Thank you for the cheers! Perhaps, I can be a bit harsh on myself at times, but if I've improved as much as others said, then I must be doing something right. Enough about me, though; you're great fun to talk with as well. Seeing your perspective on the show has been a blast. You have a nice day, too.
