The Big Bang Theory: 10 Major Predictions For Season 12

The end is nigh for The Big Bang Theory.

The last season of a beloved television show always has a lot to live up to. If it fails, fans may forget the show even existed within a few months of the final episode airing. No matter how The Big Bang Theory ends though, it's safe to say it won't be forgotten about that easily.

We're about halfway through season 12 at the moment and so far, it's been a decent finale season. While there haven't been that many huge moments that we all expected the final season to be full of, there have been a few times where we were left applauding both the actors and the writers for the excellent storytelling. Raj, for example, saw his selective mutism return for a brief period but thankfully for him, it wasn't for long.

Fans of the show have been swirling around some theories they'd like to see come to fruition before the end credits roll for the final time. Realistically, there's a good chance we'll see at least a few of them actually come to be reality. There's a big enough chunk of time left before the show does eventually end for these moments to occur on our screens - after all, the most recent episode was the tenth, leaving 14 to go.

That's more than enough time to air some of the audience's predicted moments. But which ones will make it to air?

10. Penny's Last Name Revealed

Out of the main female characters in the show, there's Bernadette Rostenkowski, Amy Farrah Fowler, and Penny... just Penny. She was the third character we were introduced to following Leonard and Sheldon, but we've never uncovered her last name. Not even a hint has been given.

Did she take Leonard's surname when they married? Has she kept her family name this whole time? Who knows. Some of Penny's family members have appeared on the show in previous years, but we didn't ever uncover the mystery surname.

It seems a bit strange that she's been a major focus on the show since the very beginning, and we're yet to know what her surname is. Considering we know the last names of minor characters like Stuart and Bert, you'd think Penny's full name would've been revealed by this point.

Season 12 simply can't come to an end without Penny's last name being revealed to viewers. It obviously wouldn't be that much of a big thing - after all, it's only the unveiling of a surname. But it would be great for us viewers to finally get some closure on Penny's last name. Otherwise, there will be an uproar of anarchy on the streets of Pasadena.
