PENNY AND SHELDON MAYBE?

[BangerMain]

Since they've made such a big deal of both Penny and Leonard's insecurities and brought in a new person, Alex, who is clearly there for a reason. I assume it's to introduce conflict.

I can easily propose a scenario where Penny sees a clueless Leonard & Alex, get jealous (she was egged on previously by Amy), drinks too much & who knows what. Sleeps with someone else ( I'd love Wil Wheaton) & Leonard dumps her. Or She gets a job/close to another male and Leonard doesn't trust her etc...It's dead easy. This doesn't mean they won't eventually get back together next year or in 2 years. I enjoy the show for the show, not the ship. Fanfiction is where I go to get the sweet romance of the Shenny ship I enjoy. If it happens on the show fine; if not fine, as long it stays the nerdy funny show I first bought into.

Since you get sweet romance from the Fan Fiction for Sheldon and Penny, why so much attention on the damaging or destruction of Leonard and Penny on the actual episodes? Almost every post features a forecast or suggestion that the writer's secretly want to put a big hurt on the major portion of TBBT fan base who are now in heaven about the cementing of the canon couple.

You really should not care about L/P, right?

Leonard and Penny will always have their issues, but that is why LOVE is so important as they say LOVE CONQUERS ALL! Doesn't matter if Penny is insecure about not being as smart as he is or that Leonard gets jealous every time a tall guy hits on Penny, if anything it shows that they love each other to even worry about what the other one is thinking about them in the first place. If Penny didn't really care for Leonard she wouldn't give a damn about trying to go back to school and prove that she can finish school if Leonard didn't love Penny he wouldn't try to do chin ups and show up in laundry room naked just to impress her. Leonard worries he's not hot enough for Penny and she worries that he thinks that she isn't smart enough, but at the end of the day they make up, have sex and keep going.

Yes IF the show lasts to season 10 L/P may break up again at some point to keep the drama going, but I know they will end up back together regardless. For crying out loud If Priya couldn't break them up after Leonard was with her for so long it makes absolutely no sense whatsoever that Sheldon ever would break them up. Especially, when one Sheldon still has shown very little interest in sex or touching anyone not even himself and Penny constantly wants sex all the time so there is no waySheldon would ever be willing to give her that.

Two Sheldon asked Amy to be his girlfriend not Penny or anyone else. Its funny how Shenny fans like to overlook that simple FACT, they act like Amy is forcing him to be with her, but Amy didn't asked him out on a date he asked her first. Amy never asked him to be her boyfriend he asked her to be his girlfriend. He created the relationship agreement andhe is the one who picked out a tiara for Amy even against Penny. He is also the one who went a long way by bus just to beat up his beloved Star trek idol Wil Wheaton over his woman's honor. Amy is his woman and Sheldon needs her he say so himself in the season six premiere.

Sheldon also told Penny that he doesn't even care about her feelings and wants her to stay with Leonard no matter what because he knows how much Leonard loves her. Sheldon would never for a moment want to hurt Leonard or Amy by hooking up with Penny and Penny would never want to hurt them either thats why Penny told Sheldon "That's the last thing I want to do" when he asked her not to hurt his friend.

Sleeping with your boyfriend or girlfriend's Best friend would not only be relationship suicide for Shenny as friends, but it would make every Lenny shipper and Shamy shipper in the fandom turn on them because that is cruelest thing a person can do to someone they supposed to care so much for is dump them than hook up with their bff. I think lots of people would lose all respect for Penny or SHeldon if they would to ever cheat on their partners or dump them to be together.

Its always just been a silly pipe dream that Shenny could ever happen likely born out of a classic falsehood that because opposites attract every character on tv that is very different like Sheldon and Penny are somehow belong together. WRONG! Sheldon and Penny would make an awful couple because of all their differences and if they had been together from the start I'm sure there be a ton of people saying how they wish Penny ended up with Leonard instead its always how it is whoever ends up together there's always a certain percentage of people who wish they were with another character instead.

Jim and Kaley don't even like the idea of being together as a couple so I don't get why Shenny fans want Jim and Kaley to be unhappy pretending to be in a relationship neither of them want to be in on the show. Jim likes where things are going between Sheldon and Amy and said so at Comic con. Kaley hopes Leonard and Penny end up together and said so many times.

If people have an respect for these actors or the writers they would try to respect their ideas and visions for the canon couples and not try to poo poo them all time. In the end Leonard and Penny are the Ross and Rachel, Darlene and David, Lucy and Ricky of TBBT! and that is IT!! I never heard anyone saying they wish Lucy ended up with Fred or Ricky to hook up with Ethel just because they were so different from one another. No they got it right in the first place. Leonard and Penny belong together, Howard and Bernadette belong together and Sheldon and Amy belong together. END OF STORY!

I said I enjoy the show and it's fun trying to figure out what will happen. At one time I argued with Doug that they'd never break up the Shamy now I think it's entirely possible. If you don't care for my predictions, you can skip them. I call it as I see it; I may be wrong but don't think so....

No problem with your predictions, they are sometimes fun. Just wanted to know why they always recently seem to have to do with the dissolving of the main couples. The writers aren't giving you much help in making this come true, that's why it seems odd.

okay I understand. Hmm let me explain; if the show were to end next year I'd agree that the Lenny and Shamy are airtight. But if TBBT is not going to end then what; we have happy couples who do what? Comedy thrives on conflict. There is external conflict (Pres Siebert makes Sheldon do something) and internal conflict (Leonard is jealous) with the couples story it's internal conflict that drives their plots.

With Amy I was surprised at what the writers have done to her character; but maybe making her strong and kinky was a break from needy and demanding. Frankly I thought they'd continue the sweet Shamy from last year but I was wrong.

[HowWeDoItInTheShire]

You are aware that there can be conflict within a couple without them having to break up. Such as coming to terms with feelings, dealing with jealousy, understand the need for friends outside the relationship. There is more drama and comedy in keeping a couple together than breaking them apart. EVERY relationship has good and bad times it doesn't make it boring to watch them work through problems or learn how to handle conflicts but still have fun and love each other at the end of the day.

But I understand. You just need them to break up so that Penny can admit it is Sheldon that she REALLY loves. It is totally apparent to me that they were so made for each other. Maybe she can take him suit shopping again and they can fall in deep, deep love. Forget that Leonard and Amy would be hurt in this scenario. I agree we should totally break up the couples that work for the couple that never happened in five years.

I totally agree with this! Breaking up a couple just for conflict is not necessary, they are plenty of ways to create conflict with in the relationships without constantly breaking them up over and over especially when everyone knows they will put them back together again by the end. If anything that is more predictable and boring to do the cliche break up just when relationships start to grow and become healthy. Keep in mind lots of sitcoms do have couples that managed to stay together and progress their relationship without couple ever getting divorced or breaking up constantly. I'd rather see them work through their issues like adults.

Also, I think Shamy is still very sweet dressing up for Halloween and coming up with compromise was sweet. Sheldon and Amy holding hands at the movies this season was also really sweet and so was what he said at the end of their anniversary date about his feelings. Sheldon is opening up more and more and is starting to realize just how much Amy means to him. So although I do think Sheldon and Penny scenes are adorable and they have good chemistry, its not a sexual chemistry or romantic at all. Amy's desire to see Sheldon's underwear even if its just in a drawer, Sheldon's willingness to hold her hand and admission that he is callous egomaniac and is scared she might one day leave him proves that Sheldon doesn't want to break up with Amy and would likely go far out of his comfort zone to keep her as his girlfriend. I think Shamy is progressing along nicely so far this season and L/P though they've gone back and forth finally just reached a huge milestone so thats a good thing.

Thank you.

Also, I really don't understand where people see this impending Shamy breakup. Some keep hinting that Amy really wants sex and that's why they'll break up but I really think that's some warped, exaggerated perspective on Amy this year. Out of curiosity I'm re-watching the episodes from this season because I want to see how much of sex-obsessed-Amy was really in there. And there's actually not as much as it keeps being complained about! I was surprised because even I was perceiving it as being more than necessary, and I LOVE Amy. I think all this talking about it is creating false memories in people.

Anyway, I digress, what I meant to say is that Amy knows what she's in for, she's always known, she's made it clear again and again this season that she's in for the long run and that she's pretty hopelessly in love with him. We have seen NO signs of frustration on her part with the exception of the season opener, which, frankly, was more due to Raj tagging along. I just find it so far fetched that suddenly Amy would turn to Sheldon and demand sex right now or leave him. Where is that coming from? As I said before, they're like an adolescent couple where for once the gender-stereotypes are reversed, she's the one ready for sex and he isn't, but she isn't pushing it and none of her sex jokes are directed at Sheldon ever. If there has to be anything at all there might be one scene where she gets upset about something and maybe threatens to leave him that will serve as the final push for him to do something about it, but there's no way he's going to let her go or did you guys forget about last week?

As for Leonard and Penny, breaking them up AGAIN? Really? I don't know that they want to go down the Ross and Rachel route. Leonard was pretty annoying at the beginning of the ep this week with his insecurities and yet Penny was bending over backwards to accommodate him! I think there might be some drama on the ILY and how it was delivered but I don't think they'll break them up again.

Thank you for your post. As a shamy shipper and seeing a post saying that there's probably an impending breakup made me stop and think and let that sink. I panicked. Which is weird since I convinced myself that will never happen, because Leonard and Penny are the alpha couple and it's sort of their status quo that they have that. I'm also thankful that someone agrees that Amy is not "sex-desperate". Like you said, she was in that relationship knowing what she's in for. One good example is episode 6.05. She was trying to suggest that they go with a couples costume and that she knows that he may not be open to it. So when he said that he agrees with her suggestion she said, "Really? I find that highly inconsistent with everything I know about you.", which kind of tells that she has conceived his possible responses based on what she knows about him when trying to open up with him, and that she probably has a plan. Also, I agree. She might've made comments here and there but she did not even say something about wanting to have sex with Sheldon directly at him. Let me make lists:

6.01- To Penny when talking about Leonard's failed proposal- "If Sheldon proposes to me during sex, my ovaries would hang on to him and never let go."

6.02- When they were talking about Penny and her feeling and that Penny asked them back on how they felt about their partners- "Whenever I'm with Sheldon, my loins are on fire."

6.03- To Penny, when they knew about Alex- "How can any woman spend 8 hours with this face and not fall in love with him?"

6.04- NONE.

6.05- When trying to push him to choose matching costumes, she offered him other options that she knows he won't pick or even consider. "There are certain things that say to the world, 'I have a boyfriend and he's not made up-- matching costumes, hickeys and sex tapes."

6.06- nothing sex related was mentioned by Amy

6.07- nothing about sex too

For me, I think Amy might've threatened him in the season premiere and that it sort of sets the theme that Sheldon will try his best this season not to let her open that possibility of her leaving him again and that he's try his best to be deserving of her and keep her happy. For Sheldon she is already a saint (she's also brilliant, interesting, and his vixen) and nobody who's watching the show could change it. Remember Bill Prady's mention of the Zen Koan Immovable object unstoppable force paradox? That Sheldon is the immovable force and Amy is the unstoppable force? Now we are now getting the answer for that paradox in terms of their relationship... that this unstoppable force is so strong that it is able to budge this immovable object.

absolutely agree Jean. I do think sometimes that they might have a mini-breakup but in any case, no longer than an episode. The only reason why I think that is because of what Bill Prady said during the summer about Mary coming to town to help Amy. Not because of anything that has happenned so far. And in any case, those two will NEVER stay broken up. If they do, they will be back together before the end of the episode just like in Zazzy Substitution

[Doug]

I thought tonight's episode was classic. I enjoyed everything about it. The Penny-Leonard dynamic was fun, indeed hearkening back to seasons 1-3 as someone said. But if you think this is going to end happily...all I can say is hold the good thought.

I think now I know what they are making Penny look so slovenly/unattractive as Alex just popped and looked younger and prettier than Penny.

I do not know if you are right but it does mostly fit.

The one catch on that is it started last season.

I'm the prophetess of the Leonard/Penny break-up; this year for sure. And I think the Shamy will too. For sure Amy isn't getting anything back from Sheldon in the amour department. Next year, lonely Penny and Sheldon spending time together, doing laundry, bickering ....

Seriously they should just dissapear.

Delusion, thy name is shenny...

No, no, not at all Phantagrae, just remember, when Amy and Sheldon get married there won't be reason to worry, because that first marriage will just be part of Sheldon's learning, you know, for when the moment to experience the "real thing" comes.

Also, it wouldn't help that Penny being the maid of honor would be very close to the groom, sending those big red hints.

And Penny and Leonard's baby would be much closer to uncle Shelly, he/she would be so off-put by his dad's insecurity (and shortness, and lactose intolerance)

Oh!, and Annie and Doug, if what you are gonna talk about Amy's "new direction" is something spoilerish, please keep it in the approppriate thread or in PMs, pretty please!

And Leonard? Not the first time we've seen him exhibit an Edward Cullen-ish creepy-possessive streak.

And why does Leonard need to hear those three little words from Penny so badly? It's almost like he considers them some kind of trophy — an "I Love You" merit badge to sew onto his proverbial Boy Scout sash.

Oh no Slicknickshady, let them be, delusional and everything, they have their right to exist

Although I took a peek at your link and there are some really ridiculous stuff: "Penny didn't meant it!" (eyeroll) The woman just let the words slip out, everythingflowed so naturally, not staged or forced at all, IMO, the most honest way to get an ILY from her at this point. And her reaction afterwards, they said she was "sad", as I saw it, she was moved, and even scared at her own true feelings being exposed like that, and Leonard's reaction was equally moving, Johnny and Kaley acted the scenes perfectly. For someone that is not a fan of their relationship as I am, I'm suprised at how nice everything resulted to me.

They are just too desperate and angry they are missing the beauty of it, trying too hard to make it sound bad, as I said before, why don't they enjoy their ship as what it is: fanon, and stop being so bitchy about the canon?

Anyway, their loss.

[Slicknickshady]

True i guess. But i can at least admit when my ship isnt end game. I mean the creators have told them Shenny is never going to happen. haha. And it's like they don't hear it.

Also if any Shamy or Lenny fans rewatches this video

of Amy and Penny kissing you'll see where a bunch of Shenny shippers jumped on me for defending them. I'm Lexi Love on youtube btw

I was on another video and this girls was arguing that Penny kissed him on the lips. THAT'S how crazy some of them are. LOL. It's like, really? Explain the lipstick on his nose, dumbass. LOL.

What a strange journey into a desert world. The folks in Shennyland are actually in depression from this "ILY" from Penny, spinning convoluted explanations of how she really didn't mean to say it and will now show regret that she bungled.

I actually feel compassion for some of the less bitter Shenny, they feel their favorite show has betrayed them.

True, but truth must be said: Poor them if they feel betrayed, but it's their choice, the show isn't really betraying them, because it has never promised to deliver what they are expecting.

It had always been Penny/Leonard, and now Amy/Sheldon, it's their problem if they refuse to accept it.

[rubyanjel]

You guys, the reason I stopped snooping around trying to figure out what they would be talking about is that a) I don't want my blood to boil and have a homicidal streak nor gleam in my eyes, it's the same old excuses, whining and complaining about something that never existed, hinted nor promised in the show, and that c) I sometimes accurately guess what delusional versions they'd be coming up as sort of excuse and that they keep those ideas in their head to cover up how they do not acknowledge what really is happening in the show. The next minute, you might even hear about the suicidal ones, which are really scary if you ask me. Think of the show if something spreads online about a fan killing herself because something in the show happened that put the nail in their Shenny coffins. It's scary.

Their reasoning are laughable, yes, but they don't really matter and that I've been called off for calling them for what they are: delusional-- seeing things that do not even exist and make things out of thin air.

[vasu]

Well I am one those guys who just loves to read all the threads(canon , non-canon , implied , not-implied at all )....

I especially love reading the Shenny threads because whenever I'm in that thread it feels like I'm watching a completely different show ... The way they twist the stories,reactions of the characters is just fascinating

So I enjoy both the TBBT and whatever the show that they watch in the so called Shennyland where the poor Sheldon and Penny and suffering from the atrocities that are being made by Leonard and Amy

Haha really?? Wow! Some Shenny people act like they live in an alternate universe where BBT exists and apparently in their universe Sheldon and Penny are in love, but the funny thing is even if that alternate universe exists based on what Leonard said about the fundamental idea of string theory is we're all just holograms acting out a painting on large canvas then even their universe is all just an ILLUSION! like all holograms are lol Haha BBT is really making me love science a lot more than I ever did in high school!

Speaking of watching a different show, there was this nugget in that mess of thread that Slick linked to:

"This could have been a golden show but for a mystery reason they don't want characters to elvove. They are stuck.

S

Yeah, cause I just wish something would have changed since the first season. Maybe they could bring Raj's sister back (what was her name?), for I don't know, a love interest for Leonard. Except Raj would probably forboded....fobadded....forbooded... stopped it. This would make Penny realize she shouldn't have broken up with Leonard. Oh, wait, they would have to start dating first. Or, what could really shake things up, how about the writers find a girlfriend for Sheldon. Nah, that would never happen. The writers are too lazy and besides, Sheldon has Penny, right? Here's a good one, how about that sleaze-ball Howard find a girlfriend, propose, and get married? What am I saying, who would ever put up with his creepy candy coating? Well, I can see why they may not want the characters to evolve, it's obvious they don't want to work at it or they are just too lazy.
