In the 17th episode of the debut season of "Big Bang theory", something huge happens: Leonard Hoffstadter (Nyoni Galecki), a nervous roommate and best friend of Sheldon Cooper (Jimim Parsons), is a brave enough to ask his neighbor. According to Essesica Radloff's book in 2022 "Big Bang theory: Definitive, inside the story of the epic hit series", " This moment was coming for a long time, though it was relatively early in the show ... and the audience reacted a lot, a lot Well.

After the show took interruption after only a few episodes Due to the strike of the writers 2007-08 (But he came back as an even bigger sensation than before), creator Jacques Lore said the audience showed their loveub to the series in a big way as they filmed the aforementioned episode, titled "The Tangerine Factor". As Lore recalls:

"It was one of those moments that made me believe in something special, out of what we once imagined. People even came to eavesdropping in laboratory coats and things! The audience was totally invested in these two fictional characters. And the fact that there was hope for that relationship was the reason why they were, and when they were.

For his part, Galecki agreed and said: "I remember because in the first unsuccessful pilot the audience was not rooted for Leonard and Katie, so she felt great to have that enthusiasm for Leonard and Penny. That's exactly what I was hoping for when I joined the show. tells Leonard he loves (A moment that made both Kuoko and Galecki cry in real life), Galecki continued: "Now I get a lot of emotional thinking about it. You can't create it out of nothing. Those feelings come from honesty and reality."

The basic plot of "Mandarin Factor" is as follows: Once she breaks up with another crazy boy, Penny feels down when Leonard asks her on a date - but she is in conflict because Leonard is a good friend and does not want to destroy the relationship they have already. Incredible, both end up asking Sheldon For advice, but the wisdom it gives to Penny is unexpectedly useful. Sheldon uses A scientific principle known as the Scredinger catSaying: "Just like Schredinger's cat, your potential relationship with Leonard can currently be considered good and bad. Only by opening the box will you find out who it is."

However, according to Big Bang's co-creator, Bill Pradi (who wrote the episode along with executive producer and writer Steve Molaro), the shared jump of Leonard's faith and Penny almost did not happen. "Steve and I wrote that episode and we fought because in the original review he never asked her in the end," Prady told Essica Radloff. "The Original Version of the Story was leonard imagined going out with penny, and he decides to rehearte the date with sheldon playing the part of penny. Hours and Hours, Until We Finally Called Chuck Happens if he asks it out.

"So, we came back and I think we got to the place where if we asked her, we couldn't think about whatever reason she would not say yes," Pradi concluded, before saying she understood the basic attraction between the two:

"I think it would be iousubopitic. Although Leonard found it very attractive, it was not the basis for his interest in her. He was a different man for her. All men start being attracted to someone, and for some men, that is enough. But Leonard is not that kind of writers."

The fans of the series know that Leonard and Penny are one of the central pairs of the show, so clearly, this was going on ... But it's a border with a stressful to imagine a world where Leonard never considers the courage to ask Penny out of the date.

After all, after airing "The Tangerine Factor", people who worked on it, including director Mark Kendrovski, received unexpected feedback - in a good way. As he told Chedrovski Essica Radloff, his daughter at the time played a softball and one of her coaches, whom Chenstrovski said he also worked in construction, approached him whether he had directed episodes of "Big Bang theory".

"I was shocked that he even knew it, but also because he just didn't look like the guy I expected to see," Chedrovski continued. "But he said," Leonard's passing ... You don't have to be Nerd to understand what it's like to have a problem talking to a beautiful girl. " And that is when I realized, Oh, these stories are universal. This is not just about a particular audience. I went home saying, "I feel very good about this show." "

Kendrovski's instincts were right; Anyone who reads this probably took some romantic jump, and that's hardAs we see while both Leonard and Penny argue with the idea of ​​socializing with each other. After again, again romance, the two ended up getting married and, in the final of the series, even find out that Penny expects baby (development that shocked Nyoni Galecki).
