The God Particle Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 (edited) Aww poor Raj! I feel sorry for him even as I regret this is not a Shamy episode. EDITED: Sorry for the misspelled word. It's been a long morning already. Edited February 6, 2013 by The God Particle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stardustmelody Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Oh don't get me wrong Monique, I'm not saying that I am doubting the power of the Shamy! lol. I'm actually really happy to hear their Skype calls are back. But I did always see FWF as their thing because every single time they've had it on the show, they were doing it together. And Amy seems to be well invested in it, especially in the Wil Wheaton ep. But I guess you're right, maybe TPTB never really meant it that way. As much as I enjoyed Skype scenes in the past, because Shamy have had so few scenes together this season, I still prefer their in person scenes. Their story has moved through dialog with others, but very little interaction has occurred between each other (other than when she was sick). I miss them having their own time together and I guess that leads to my next frustration. I agree with you about the FWF. I know it was never said by TPTB that it was a Shamy thing, anymore than it was ever said that soft kitty was a Sheldon/Penny thing, but yet the audience has always felt that those were their things. So it seems disappointing that our bubbles had to be burst. It would have allowed for more Shamy moments had they had Amy there, still being a part of the process of delivering FWF. It was a big disappointment. I can't say that this episode excites me in any way. Maybe it will when it airs but after reading the full report, I just don't think it sounds very interesting. It sounds like a lot of fast interactions, none that really moved story much (other than Raj/Lucy). While I enjoy Sheldon/Penny normally, I like them more when she is giving him relationship advice, getting annoyed with him, or mothering him. The acting advice is sort of 'meh' to me because acting isn't important to Sheldon normally and while he wants FWF viewers, I just think it isn't something that made it story-worthy in this case. It seems like it was used as a vehicle to introduce the concept that she had been cast in a play and that could have been done so many other ways. Likewise, Leonard seems bored in this episode from what I can tell. Amy is barely in the episode and neither is Bernadette in there much. This one only moved Raj/Lucy and none of the other characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koops Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Yes, but there are always plot devices being used to further the stories. I mean, as much as I love Shamy and I'd love to have 20 mins of pure Shamy every week, the show is about other characters too. This one was more about moving Penny along so they used the FWF as a plot device for that. It might not mean anything for Sheldon but the same can be said about Penny's reaction to his confession the other week. Why would she care so much to freak out? That was a plot device to tell the audience that "It's a possibility" essentially means "Yes". I'm not too bothered about that. And I think part of the reason why there are so few Shamy interactions in person and alone is because they really are trying to take things slow. There's a good portion of the audience who would be screaming murder if there's even a little bit too much relationship stuff, they can't just propel the relationship forward in every single episode. I think I'm happy with the Skype scenes because first of all it keeps consistency with their past and who they are, and secondly because it means that they are keeping in touch even when she is busy at work. They're kind of together even when they aren't, you know what I mean? I think that means a lot, regardless of whether they are physically present or not.

Kiru Breezy Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 (edited) We got 3 weeks of Shamy and a week of non-relationship drama...I can dig it... And I love that they talk about everything.... And yes FWF was forever a Shamy thing. And now its ruined. Sadly.

koops Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Speaking of the Skype call, I find it so endearing that Sheldon gets told to do something by Amy and he does it immediately. lol. *whip app sound* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I love that they are skyping at work. Also...Moyra posted this about the V-Day episode. I don’t recall this line from the taping report, but Sheldon actually tells Amy that he put her as her EC because he thought if he had a stroke or a kidney stone, who would he want to share it with? Amy said you thought about me or something like that and he said “you are my girlfriend”. He actually sounded so sweet and sincere that the four grown men sitting behind me were all saying “wow” and “awww”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OH!!! Sorry, I have to do it again. *whip app sound* See!! That's exactly what we were saying about the reason why he chose her as his EC. That must be the sweetest thing I've ever heard Sheldon say. I mean... WOW. If this isn't enough indication that he is literally on the verge of saying the L word, I don't know what it is. He keeps saying "You're my girlfriend". Every time he does it, it's like he says that because he can't bring himself to say "I love you" and saying "You're my girlfriend" implicitly encompasses all the feelings that come with that so he doesn't have to say it out loud.

rachelshamyfan Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 (edited) I wonder if the writers are gearing up for him to say that to her at some point, maybe in the season finale usually something significant happens Edited February 6, 2013 by rachygd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmp Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Is it meant to be obvious to the audience at this point that the affection he said he felt for her last year has now turned to love? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stardustmelody Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 I am thinking that they may be leading up to an ILY to be honest. At first I thought it was going to be a kiss with the whole 6.14 being about his working on trying to overcome physical touch. But the more I think about dialog throughout the season, it seems to be indicating a deeper connection he has with Amy...a love connection. It seems like they may be leading to him admitting he loves her to her in the season finale instead of the kiss. The kiss may come in the season opener of season 7 instead and the ILY declaration in the finale. It is like his whole conversation with L/P in 6.14...he started it immediately stating how he was "quite fond" of Amy, but it was the way he delivered it. He was adamant...like he was trying to impress upon them there was no question about his feelings. He also said in 6.02 that he knows his feelings when he has them. I am starting to believe that Sheldon has realized he is in love with Amy and is leading up to telling her. I could be wrong, but the dialog seems to be pointing that direction when you start looking at them as a whole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, what you quoted wasn't in the taping report. Some how I must have missed it since I was in "Awwww" the whole time. Anyway, unfortunately, they didn't show him patting her on the knee . I was bummed but the, "like you said, you are my girlfriend" part makes up for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually think it's a good thing they didn't include the pat on the knee. From the way it sounds she's hugging him, it makes more sense that he couldn't move and the pat would have been too much like "Ok, stop now". I don't think it's a big deal. I'm so happy about the EC thing right now I couldn't care less about anything else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Letícia Parsons Jackson Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 I just read the taping. What a weird episode... No shamy, just Shenny... I'm really upset because they got FwF (something exclusive for Shamy) and they put a Shenny moment in it. I hope that my impression of this episode gets better when I watch it, because I really didn't like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Amy's not in the 3rd episode we'll see of FWF. Big whoop. She'll be in more in the future. Edited February 6, 2013 by MJistheBOMB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm one of those who considered FWF a Shamy thing but I really don't understand the sudden Shenny panic I think people should stop trolling the Shenny threads/blogs if they're being this affected by the Shennys. It's absurd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamynatress Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Although this is the Shamy Thread and we all love Amy and Sheldon together, I am a bit sad about not giving the other characters the appreciation they deserve. I am personally not bothered with having a episode without great Shamy action at all. I am a fan from the beginning and I already loved TBBT when there was no AFF and no Shamy involved. So I have no reason to be disappointed for Lenny, Shenny, HowRajabett or whoever focused eps. I even enjoy seeing more of this funny original interaction. And I know that we will have new Shamy stuff coming up. So what's the deal? LOVE the show..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
