The way "The Big Bang Theory" ended left its cast members with different opinions. While Jim Parsons, who portrayed Sheldon, enjoyed his character's final storyline, Johnny Galecki, who played Leonard, had mixed reactions to the conclusion of Penny and Leonard's arc. Kaley Cuoco, who portrayed Penny, supported her character's pregnancy announcement, but Galecki didn't initially understand it.
The showrunners aimed to depict the ongoing friendships and love among the characters. However, Holland, one of the showrunners, acknowledged that the storyline could have been executed differently in the final episodes.
