They've said that they're not doing anything big for the finale, so I don't think they'd be doing something that dramatic and ominous or portentous.

 

If they have some kind of blow-out I think it would happen before the finale and would be resolved in the finale.

 

I think the finale could well be something similar to the V-day episode, where each couple gets some kind of sweet sort of resolution or temporary "conclusion", if you will.

A Shamy breakup would make sense. At the moment there are 4 couples on the show. Raj/Lucy is so new a breakup wouldn't be devastating. A Howard/Bernadette break up/divorce won't happen. I can't imagine how you could put a positive spin on that. A Leonard/Penny breakup has already happened in the past and I think you would lose viewers if that happened again. That leaves Sheldon and Amy. I'm not suggesting anything permanent but a half a season break up wouldn't be the end of the world. It may even show to Sheldon that he needs to change his ways and treat Amy nicer.

I just really don't see them ending the season on such a decidedly sour note. I suppose it's possible that it could be done cliffhanger-style -- Amy breaks it off, then Sheldon says or does something that implies he is going to do whatever it takes to win her back, etc. First and foremost, TBBT is a comedy. A sad, seemingly beyond repair breakup is not funny.

 

Sorry, but they have form on unhappiness. Highs need lows for contrast.

 

Think  Wheaton Recurrence and Roommate Transmogrification. I was horrified (though entertained). Had to wait 2 years for resolution and that's been iffy.

 

And they need to give the show juice  - it may depend on what happens with contracts as said elsewhere. All conjecture 

 

IT MAY ALL BE GOOD. Wait till the end.

Do you remember the ending of the second season, where the guys went to the Magnetic North poll for the summer and Penny was miserable because she couldn't admit she was going to miss Leonard. Or the fourth season, where it looked like Penny and Raj had slept together? Not exactly a laugh fest.

True, but even though Penny didn't admit her feelings to Leonard in that episode, we were still privvy to that poignant moment after she shuts the door - a strong indicator that something would happen between them eventually. If Shamy broke up but it was clear that Sheldon had finally woken up and seen the proverbial light as a result, I would be ok with it and would anxiously anticipate the start of the next season. TPTB know what they are doing and they know how to leave us wanting more, even in the wake of a serious, potentially sad event. A breakup might be used as a plot device to propel the relationship forward in a dramatic (yet comedic) way, but I don't see how it would do any good aside from that.

Eta: Penny and Raj sleeping together wasn't really very funny, I'll give you that. The Lenny's must have had a fun summer waiting for that to be resolved. Ugh.

I don't think it has to be a full blown break up(or whatever it would be in the Shamy world). Let Sheldon do something to get Amy pissed enough to not talk, skype, call, etc. him for six or so episodes into the seventh season to get him to recognize her need for companionship and some physical intimacy (I'm not saying full on sex or even heavy kissing here). Enough of a separation to let him know that if he wants her in his life (and we know he does), he needs to at least take the small step of at giving her the hand holding, hugging, and the occasional kiss. Relationships are about compromises. Sheldon hasn't learned that yet and I don't think he will until Amy does something to get him to understand he has to give, if he wants her around (and again, we know he does).

Now, that said, the writers have the problem of having sheldon not moving too fast. They can do that but they seem to have been wildly inconsistent this year in his movement this year. I am not a Shamy shipper by any means, but I do think they're relationship is cute and one of the more original on TV. I would hate that it would completely fall apart and I think that writers have done a wonderful job with Lenny this year. I'm not that worried about them messing up Shamy, even if there are some rough spots ahead for them.

If the writers go with a breakup, there would still be plenty of storyline.  Dealing with the dynamics of the group now that Amy's friendship is solid with Penny and Bernadette.  Also, it would be nice to see Sheldon "date"  Amy without a RA.

I like those point Shamy. That opens up quite a few plot lines. Howard and Bernadette worked out their issues in season five. Leonard and Penny seem to have worked out (or will work out) most of their issues in season six. Why can't Sheldon and Amy work out their issues in season seven?

6 or 7 episodes without Shamy? Uh, no. Not going to happen. 2 or 3 at most. I still think it's unlikely. Sheldon would have to adopt the entire feline population of the Pasadena SPCA to cope with that.

Plus, I would be a wreck, so....yeah....it just can't happen. ;)

Eta: fine, they can work out their issues in Season 7, but not starting a third of the way into the season. Still don't want a breakup, but it's gotta be done right if the writers go that route.

I would actually be okay with that if it means he'll step it up for cryin' out loud. LOL.

Yes an introspective Sheldon might be good for a while. (Jackass and 4x2 between eyes)

 

And Amy gets to cut loose and paint the town red as well as her nails and lips.

The Tenure Turbulance pictures are out. The one picture has Raj,S/A, LP in it. The Shamy thread has the picture up and are commenting on what Amy is wearing. Funny thing is I had to look twice to notice she was even in the picture

I don't know, if she really cuts loose will she want to go back to Sheldon?

I'm sure the $5 hooker dress has you mesmerized.

Not quite sure what you mean here. I've got some nice pictures of my wife in similar dresses, at a similar age as Kaley is in those pictures, looking very similar. I can guarantee you the dress was way more than $5, even back in the early 80s. And my wife's never been a hooker. Edited by Tensor

I don't hate. Its an observation. She looks like the women I see in Times Square or those on 11th Avenue; But...cleaner. I guess that is what they were going for. 

angels on pins...

 

by which I mean I  believe you were trying to distinguish your remarks in such away to avoid my contention. But i think a disinterested observer would not see your comment as just an observation on fashion.

 

But carry on.

More than half of her boob is hanging out, the same way the ladies of the night advertise their merchandise. It looks like what I see pros wear....particularly in NYC & I'm certain you can get a dress like that at any thrift shop here in M'han for $10. $5 was probably too low. Cheap looking.

Well, I guess you can look at it like that. My wife wore dresses like that when we were much younger, and she wasn't advertising, nor was she a pro. So, you obviously would think my wife was a pro. But, we know you don't like Penny or Kaley, so I would expect your opinion to be negative.

Oh, come on.  Just because you don't like Penny doesn't mean she looks like a hooker.  Just because she's showing some boobage doesn't mean she's dressed like a hooker.

The dress is intended to show off her cleavage because of the scene, but she was also wearing a jacket until Leonard wanted to wield her like a weapon.  Not like a hooker, but like a well-endowed distraction.
