Oh that gif!!

Just wanted to say that Chloe is my hero and the reason I'm gonna spend the rest of my life with my eyes glued to a screen!!

[[Spoilers] Shamy: Season 9]

I just watched it (earlier than I thought yeah!) and I am speechless!! Having read some comments this morning I was really disappointed about the cuddle being cut BUT now that I have watched it I am so so happy!!!! I loved everything about it and LMAO for the "a few hours later"!! Shamy had fun (for hours!), they are happy and the best of all on the same page!! I loved Amy saying "this works for me" and it would be funny if the girls thought she would be sad but turns out Amy is honestly fine with it. I am definitely crossing my fingers that Amy won't take that back and starts pushing and we get the same dynamics again! But I hope that won't happen and the the will find a clever and sweet way to show us that they will be doing that sooner than later!! The cold open was purely genius!!!

Since there are no gifs, words or anything to convey my happiness right now I will stop now!!

[[Spoilers] Shamy: Season 9]

 

^This is how excited I am right now!!!!! They are so adorable!!!! Also I didn't expect to watch anything before the episode AND BTS stuff!!! Thanks to the people who posted!! And let me add that Amy is simply gorgeous!!!!

 

I am not sure how I am going to keep a straight face when I am watching that with my unspoiled sister!!(and manage not to be embarrassed by hardcore fangirling)!! Poker face on the outside while this is happening in my mind!!!!!!! Man I will suffer no ending teasing but hell it's worth it!!!!!

Hi, I'll look into this but unfortunately phone issues are notoriously hard to diagnose. Which phone operating system and browser do you use? I'll try recreate it and see if there's anything I can do. Unfortunately, the text editor that's supplied with the forum isn't really something that can easily be changed or modified.

My operating system is Android 4.3 "Jelly Bean" and I use the Google search app. At least I know it's not the phone's fault! Thanks anyway!!

Sheldon - Gryffindor
Amy - Ravenclaw
Penny - Slytherin
Leonard - Hufflepuff

I also hope some Fantastic Beasts references in the future

Oh I would love it if Amy was in Ravenclaw cause that's were I am too!! But Sheldon doesn't stoke me as the bravest of all  I think he could be in Ravenclaw or Slytherin.

Oh I am so in love with that gif!! The way they look each other seems so erotic to me. It really makes me think that this is an important moment for them and that makes my heart beat a little faster..

[Question For Tripper]

Hello Tripper!

I have a problem when posting using my phone. While I am writing the cursor jumps back to a random point and it creates a mess. It's really difficult to write especially long posts. Of course it could be my phone's fault but this is the only site this happens (didn't happen with the old page) so I figured I should let you know!

[[Spoilers] Shamy: Season 9]

@jena once again sorry for failing to quote you but I usually post using my phone so I try to quote as less as possible and I won't refer to specific parts of your reply. First, of all I appreciate that you did reply. The truth is I disagree with some things you said but I don't know how to respond without using Sheldon and Amy to project my own views. As you specifically said that you don't want and won't discuss your personal views (rightly so this is your call and this is not the place to do that anyway) I think this is a good point to let it go. I didn't want you to think that I just ignored you though. So, sorry if I made you (or someone else) uncomfortable it wasn't my intention.

Any HP references makes me smile. My favorite is when Sheldon said Muggles.

Also Dave referring to Sheldon as you-know-who. I love HP references!! The Hufflepuff comment made me wonder in what houses the others would be!!

Anyway... It's taping day! Last taping of the year, even! Any thoughts, wishes or speculations about the next episode??

Yeah it's taping day!! Technically I will read it tomorrow but this is so exciting anyway!! Well I have a wish which is Shamy working together but I know that this is not happening at least not in the next episode!! So I would be perfectly happy with a FWF episode as someone said!! And Sheldon welcoming her after she returns as someone else said!!

The bold part is the reason why my views seem to rub others the wrong way.  While I believe in equal rights for women in politics, culture, socialism, economics, and personally, I am not a feminist by any means when it comes to relationships.  I am a strong independent woman with a solid career.  I believe there is nothing wrong with a woman wanting or being submissive to a man in her life to feel complete, as long as she's doing it for the right reasons and making a purposeful choice to cling to the right one who will guide and support her rather than settle for the sake of wanting a physical relationship or not being alone.

 

What makes this so beautiful is they get each other and end up back together in spite of their individual misgivings, Amy not knowing it they will ever be physically intimate and Sheldon not knowing if he will get hurt again.  On their own, they realize that with each other is where they belong and the wait/risk is worth it.

I will begin with the second paragraph I quoted. Even though I don't agree with everything you wrote until there I agree with your conclusion. I very much liked the fact that both of them decided that they want this relationship unconditionally because above all they love each other. 

About the first paragraph (and this is not Shamy related so excuse me for that) I just wanted to clarify something. I identify myself as a feminist and though I always had friendly sentiments towards feminism I just started learning more and trying to realize where I personally stand. You said that although you believe in equal rights in many aspects you are "not a feminist by any means when it comes to relationships". I am bit confused by that cause I always thought that one either is a feminist or they are not. For example (and I know that this is reallyyyy extreme I am just trying to make a point) I had a friend who told me "I am not a racist in general but with (insert a nation) I really am". I told her that you either are a racist or you are not there is no middle space. Again sorry for the example but that's how I see feminism too. As I understand it feminism is about women having equal rights and chances in everything and having the freedom to choose their lifestyle without having to answer for it period. If a woman wants to be submissive to a man in her life, then feminism supports her in that decision. If a woman feels that she would never want children, then feminism supports that decision too. I think that feminism is against gender based roles such as having to be submissive because you are a woman or having to want children because you are a woman. I don't mean to speak on your behalf but the way you spoke about it (clearly stating that what you mention is something a woman wants) doesn't strike me so anti-feminist. Sorry about the rant and the off topic conversation.

...overall, the good far outweighs the bad, and the train on that shelf, that exchange at the door, the longing and love I saw in those kisses, and the way they were totally physically and mentally wrapped up in each other, is enough to make me put the past behind and stop dwelling on it. I hope that now that they (writers) have climbed over the sex obstacle, they will find more compelling plots for Amy than moping about her love life and that just as we might see a more mature Sheldon, we will also see a more mature Amy.

Even though I agree with wow about the break up period and the way Amy handled it ultimately it comes down to what koops said. I didn't care about both of them dating or pursuing other people (Sheldon also did try to pick up that girl and her grandmother -lol ) and I am not even convinced about the break up itself at the moment it happened but I am willing to let that go because the way they got back was so good for me.

About Dave I will admit it that part of the reason I didn't mind him there is that I find him absolutely adorable and funny. Also, I know this is just in my mind, but I thought that having what is practically a Shamy shipper right in that moment is like a little teaser from the writers. Not what really happened but I like to thin about it. Now about the show itself (and not my wishful thinking ) I think that this date was a way for Amy to react to the rejection trying to convince herself that the break up was a good call and that if Sheldon never wanted her back she could move on with her life. Finally,as koops said I am willing to give the benefit of the doubt to Amy and Sheldon that in the end they wouldn't have been serious about anybody else (physically or otherwise). 

[[Spoilers] Shamy: Season 9]

I finally got to watch the episode last night!! There were some things I didn't know about it so there were some surprises, humor and of course Shamy!! I loved Lenny with Sheldon!!! I loved Dave!! 

I don't think there is anything left to be said except that I loved the whole episode!! Them saying how much they love each other!! The kissing!! I read all your remarks about it but one more thing that made me love it was the way they hold each other. It's in a very intimate and loving way suggesting that this is home and safe and where they would like to be most in the world. Whenever I see these gifs it just gets me..Every single time..

I wanted Amy to name a disease after Sheldon, I remember. Which would still be amazing, I think. Some horrifying rare neurological condition called Cooperitis or something. And the gang goes 'oh, poor Sheldon! She got an asteroid and he got a disease?', while Sheldon and Amy are smiling mistily at each other.

Oh I love that!! Bonus points for Sheldon paraphrasing Amy and going like "Not many people can make said disease sound romantic but somehow you do" - eye coitus moment - and then Sheldon turns to the others saying "How much does that girl love me!!" only to receive freaked out faces!! 

When I read the first spoilers I could not imagine that Sheldon would name an asteroid after her!! I honestly thought that the new taping would help me stop thinking about the episodes to come and calm me down but the only thing I can think of right now is that there are these Shamy episodes out there and  cannot watch them right now!! I am incredibly happy that we don't have another Table like episode but instead we got them happy and loving saying how much they miss each other , naming asteroids and talking about children ( LOL about that deal!). Also as someone already said yeahhh for Amy dealing with work!!! 

[[Spoilers] Shamy: Season 9]

I am so happy with the spoilers! I liked it that they put some space between them and have them miss each other! I believe that in an upcoming episode we will find more about their physical relationship but at the moment I like it that they are exploring their feelings.

If I think they were friends back then? Yes, absolutely. They still are. Friendship doesn't rule out 'romantic' attachment, IMO. It's a kind of love, after all. They are friends that love each other now! That's why I love someone's idea (koops, if I remember well) to bring back 'the old Shamy' and mix it with 'Shamy 2.0', that with the more mature and deeper bond. That's what I'm looking and hoping for! 

 

 That is really sweet!! I hope to see them be quirky and happy in the backround having a great time!! 

@koops first of all get well soon!! I loved your post! That's exactly how I feel about the subject!! Thanks for weighing in and I am going to need these three essays about Amy's evolution please!!

As an example of what?  That releasing the promos caused the ratings to be high?    All you mentioned was the high ratings and the release of all the scenes.  I'm not sure what else to take from your post that Skull answered.   

I think what miss was trying to say was that releasing too much on the promo didn't actually cause the numbers to fall so releasing too much now might not be a bad move at all. I don't think the op meant that the numbers where high because of Shamy scenes on the promo but despite of major episode scenes on the promo. I could be wrong maybe the op could clarify?

 

 

[[Spoilers] Shamy: Season 9]

@jena sorry for replying without quoting but I am afraid I might mess up. My disagreement with you post is about the same section Kathy quoted. I don't think there is any sign that Amy was aware of their relationship being actually romantic at the time and surely not manipulating him. I think I would hate that because it would feel that she was not being completely honest with him. As Kathy said on their first encounter Amy seemed to be really aloof not really wanting to be there but doing it to get her mother off her back. I also think that Sheldon was way more smitten than her cause finally he found a human in a world of dogs (I think that is something Sheldon said or someone here once wrote but it's definitely not mine) so he grabbed the opportunity. For Amy I think it was a chance to have a friend and then an opportunity to finally stop meeting random people out of a dating site. Anyway Amy especially back then is bland and deadpan, with an arrogant streak and never afraid to throw the truth in Sheldon's face. Also a strong indicator for me that this was friendship for her also is when she grabbed his hand. She seemed not to be affected in the same way Zack affected her. I think the turning point was Herb Garden. I think that's when she started falling for Sheldon. And after the kiss everything started falling into place for both of them. And still I think both were honest about rebooting their relationship because it was a lot to handle for them both. Did she start realizing it was romantic? Probably but so did he. They were still pretty equal except for the fact that Amy could admit it easier. Also one thing I think is very telling about the date that she used her "bag of tricks" to accelerate his affection is that she told him explicitly what she was going to do. No manipulation at all. Actually, the only time I think she did manipulate him (train episode aside) is the Table episode. Which I hate. I think that then she ignored a serious problem Sheldon had and maninipulated him into staying in the relationship and it finally caught up with her. I really believe Shamy works better when they are honest with each other and IMO  that's part of the reason why their relationship was so functional from the first time. Anyway,that's just how I see Shamy of course and Amy in particular.

Well,  first off,  Sheldon and Amy were never just friends.   One if the running jokes in S4 was that Sheldon refused to call her his "girlfriend" and then referred to the pairing as a "relationship" never a friendship.  I love how in Desperation he tells Leonard once again that she is not his "girlfriend" and then proceeds to suggest that Leonard is jealous that he has a functioning and satisfying relationship with a female and offered up other examples of characters, who too, had girlfriends.  

What was different in old school Shamy is that instead of physical things,  such as kissing, sex etc., turning them on, it was each other's intellect and other personality quirks.  Those two seriously got off on that.  Intimacy comes in different forms and these two have been intimate since the beginning.  And I love that Mayim has made that point multiple times lately.    But, that is what people want to see again.   And it would be really great if these old school turn ons and this new found physical intimacy coexist.  Like Sheldon starts pontificating and Amy can't help herself and grabs and kisses him.  Or Sheldon is so turned on by doing one of their weird social experiments on their friends that it culminates with him dragging her to the bedroom.   That could be a new way to do old school Shamy. 

I think that is pretty accurate. Same with wow's and koops's posts. During seasons 4 and 5 before they were an official couple no one really thought they were just friends. I love the example you used here! I always found that incredible sweet how he thought they weren't a couple but compared the two of them with couples. Also when Leonard mentioned that he doesn't like Amy so he shouldn't bring her home he argued that saying how he put up with his female companion Penny. If I am not mistaken it was the same when they were talking about Priya at season 4 finale. He asked Leonard "don't  you like Amy" while they were talking about Leonard's girlfriend. Just like it's incredibly sweet that he stopped correcting people who referred at Amy as his girlfriend after she kissed him. I guess the reason why I loved them so much is because they proved to me that it is possible to have a profound, satisfying, romantic relationship with someone without having to be physical with them. I remember talking to a friend a little before I discovered the Shamy and how we both thought that what separates a friendship from a romantic relationship is the sexual element (not that the relationship couldn't be deeper than that just that it gave sense to the different nature of each relationship). And then I came across the Shamy and they totally swept me of my feet and made me realize that being someone's soul mate can work in so many different ways for different people. They were happy together, having fun and they felt that someone really got them. In their own way they were so intimate with each other being able to just be in each others presence without feeling awkward  (parallel play is what Shamy does best! That and making people feel weirded out like hell!! ) that I personally didn't feel their relationship should be physical. Having said that I enjoy very much the turn their relationship will take and adore how they will explore their sexuality together. Anyway I think I got a little carried away with that!

About the second part of you post I only have to say -- Oh yeah!! I would love to see that!! Them being turned on by something random like an amusing factoid about flags or a very cool idea in which they could combine physics and neuroscience  ( I am throwing some hardcore wishful thinking in the mix)!!!

I wouldn't want their loss of virginity to go completely ignored because it's something too huge to be swept aside so quickly and I would like to know how the gang finds out. But I honestly more than anything miss them nerding out together so much, that I wouldn't want to see them do anything else but that for a while. Just have cute little B plots where Amy comes up with a new language, they shoot FWF, run some social experiments on their friends, find some new hobby to share together. 9x09 was so huge for me because it seemed like the writers, not just Amy, remembered what is ultimately the essence of this couple that sets them apart from the others, and now that they've put all the hurdles of physical intimacy (and the breakup) behind them and "wrapped up that journey", to use Molaro's words, it would be great to see them relax and spend more time together in the background of other major plots, being cutesy. Oh, and I might be weird, but I'm actually dying to see Penny and Amy have breakfast in their PJs at 4A probably more than Shamy. LOL! 

Let the other characters have major screentime for a bit, there's a lot to work out there.

Yes please!! They absolutely should shoot a FWF episode as a couple again! And pretty please let the be the odd couple weirdingweird in everybody out (is weirding a word or  I did just make it up?). 

But now that you mentioned Pamy in pjs I want that so much!!!! I want my Pamy episode asap!!!

When you're at that stage in the story, there's a 50/50 chance that things could go either way and it's easy to say with hindsight that freaking out or getting angry over X or Y was silly, but you can only react to the present, really. I am not someone who can just "have faith". And as much as I have liked how it was wrapped up in the end with the Shamy Trilogy, I still stand by some of my original feelings about this whole thing, even now. Bottom line to me is that the writers are sometimes going to do things I don't like, just as much as at other times they will do things I do like and it's up to me as a viewer to decide if it's still worth my time or not. 

That so much!! Frankly, I still don't believe that the break up was necessary and think that it was ill timed. I was really anxious about how tptb would handle this. Turns out they did so in a way that was fine with me. Especially the Aquarium episode when she realized that she can hurt him too, what was the she really wanted and that she cannot come in and out of his life as she please. It turned out to be a lesson for both of them. Even the fact that she wanted to be with him first and he didn't was a great lesson for them. So, it's actually more about each step they take and that's what we are going to judge.

 

As far as Dave is concerned I never really hated him. True, I didn't care about Amy dating but more because I didn't want Shamy making up to be because she couldn't do better. But she had other dates and Dave was ok. In his first appearance admittedly he was hilarious. Plus now he is hardcore Shamy shipper so what's not to love?? I wish we could see more of him!

[[Spoilers] Shamy: Season 9]

I saw the Instagram post this morning, experienced a massive freak out cause I was at the university during a break and knew that eventually I would have to get back to class, nearly cried when that exact moment my phone battery died and sat there boiling that Shamy goodness was out there and I couldn't see it...

Anyway now I am good (obviously :D ), can't get myself to stop singing Christmas carols cause this is totally like Christmas to me and can't help but mention how I love the kiss and the way they crush into each other's arms like there is a magnet pulling them together!! Seriously it's like an explosion of love!!! And the way he looks at her!! To quote Sheldon "Boldly go Sheldon Cooper"! (Yes I realize this is probably cheesy but obviously now I am person who says things like "explosion of love" so there you have it!)

Having missed out on a lot of discussion, I'm sure this has already been said before, but the episode that mollified my rage about the breakup was actually the Aquarium one. And I think Chuck's statement is equally applicable to both, the whole "you don't know what you've got until it's gone". That is really what that episode was all about for me, with Amy coming to remember that it's Sheldon and has always been only Sheldon, and I loved that she asked him back after a completely platonic date and not knowing about the ring nor demanding anything of him. I SO desperately needed to see that in order to be satisfied with a reconciliation. In the same way, I think it was necessary for Sheldon to turn her down there, because that put him in a very interesting position, one where he has Amy back in his life, as a friend, and he doesn't need to be her boyfriend to have her back, and yet... he's not satisfied with that. It doesn't take long before he does a 180 on it and is pounding at her door, and that's because he wants it all with her. There was so much speculation in the past by some over whether Sheldon really wanted that relationship or was just in it to keep Amy in his life and because he was used to it and he didn't like change. If Earworm doesn't answer that question loud and clear, I don't know what does. He wants the entire package with her, he wants the romantic part of their relationship back as much as their mental connection (besides the fact that during the breakup he was torturing himself worrying about her being intimate with another man, if one needs any more indication of what his desires are with her), which makes their consummation, even this soon, make so much sense. Sheldon is eager to have it all now, just as Amy is eager to have everything he is, and not what she thought she needed him to be. 

To paraphrase Zack, "Happy Shamy, happy life!"

*floats on a cloud throwing confetti*

 

Yes this is it, this is exactly this! I know I had my issues with the season finale but with that episode they definitely nailed it! Jim and Mayim did also an excellent job conveying all  this sentiments!!
