[[folder: Amy's behaviour towards Sheldon]]
* If there was one thing that bugged me about the show, it's the fact that Amy kept trying to get more intimate with Sheldon and he wasn't interested - and we were supposed to laugh at it or sympathize with her. At one point, she even ''stores nightclothes IN HIS APARTMENT'' just in case Sheldon invited her to spend the night. How did this ''not'' raise any red flags that Amy is a ''stalker''?! Imagine if it were the other way around or Amy wasn't played by Mayim Bialik.

**Nothing explicit was said that you missed. But it needs to be considered that this show spanned around 12 years of the characters lives (a series eleven episode has Penny saying she'd known them for eleven years) and in that time they spent relatively little time with their familes (apart from Howard). Their friends are a much more immediate and intimate part of their world, so them getting invited instead of family makes more sense in that regard. Given that meemaw probably would have not been able to make the trip that leaves five family members (Amy's mum and dad, Sheldon's mum and brother and sister) which is covered by the five tickets penny, leonard, raj howard and bernadette took. To get everyone would have needed ten tickets which is probably more than they could have had anyway.

** As noted elsewhere, the landlord's pretty indolent, and given that Sheldon is literally the only one in the tenant's association, most people probably just don't care.
** Possibly they knew the landlord was working on it, but didn't know when exactly it was going to be fixed?
** Additionally, the guys can say, "oh, yeah, we just got home, no idea how that happened," and if the landlord's too cheap to investigate, that'll be that.
** Possibly they had a word with him offscreen.

* So I get that the Doylist reason for their absence in the finale was probably that the cast wasn't available, but is there an in-universe reason ''none'' of his family show up to him winning a Nobel Prize? It seems a bit weird to me that neither Sheldon's mother nor either of his siblings makes the effort to come to Stockholm, especially given that he reunited with his brother last season. Sure, Mary's not exactly into science, but I'm sure even she recognizes how impressive a Nobel is. Was there an explanation somewhere that I missed?

* For the argument under him doing it because Penny was injured, it is stated that unless it was a medical emergency which a dislocated shoulder doesn't fall under, doesn't count. For the argument of Penny told him to that also isn't legal, if he is a legal adult who can drive, then it isn't on someone else to go past a red light, it's his choice. Lastly his idea that it isn't constitutional for a camera to issue the ticket, apparently it is.
