The Big Bang Theory: 8 Reasons To Be Excited About Season 8
6. Power Struggles Between The Ladies
With the new change in Pennys circumstances (more on that later), things are a-changing between the three women on the show. Historically, Pennys been the leader, with no career but plenty of street smarts, Bernadettes been the sassy firecracker you dont mess with, and Amys been the amiable, sexually frustrated genius with no social skills. The odd skirmish aside, that dynamic is a comfortable one for them to settle into, with a defined pecking order. Not anymore. With Pennys new role meshing with Bernies sphere at work, the two will begin to butt heads; both coming to Amy for reassurance and snipery and Amy loves it. Suddenly shes the sought-after one of the three, both of the more dominant women needing her attention and practically competing for it. It probably wont matter to Amy that its not about her: that shes only getting more social clout because Penny and Bernie are clashing. Her self-esteem seems to have actually suffered since going out with Sheldon, and the sad thing is that shell probably take whatever validation, real or fake, that she can get.
