stardustmelody Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 (edited) I had a rough day at work today...then I came home, caught up on my favorite BBT threads, read a little Shamy fanfic and ate 4 of my V-Day chocolates (hubby gave them to me early, lol) and I feel much better now. :D Of course, some Shamy moments in 6.18 would make me positively gleeful! I know, I'm greedy. It shouldn't be long now that they would be getting out...although I have to wonder if it might not take longer tonight if they have a bunch of kids (for the classroom scenes) on the set. That might make it more challenging. Glad you were able to have some good things cheer you up. Sorry your day was so lousy.

koops Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 The classroom scenes might be pre-taped. Btw, the more I think about it, the more I think the Amy-goes-away-for-the-summer scenario is the perfect scenario to kickstart the development of physical intimacy in the following season. Regardless of whether it's this year or next, I think it would provide the perfect context because they would essentially go back to how they used to be in S4 or prior to that, when they were only Skyping and emailing and texting, but Sheldon WOULD notice what a massive difference physical presence now makes and this would set all sorts of things in motion.

stardustmelody Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 I wish TI had not put up the spoiler the way they did. It was rather misleading. I am a little disappointed that again Sheldon and Amy have scenes apart from each other instead of together. I guess Amy gets Bernie to help with the phone call? I personally prefer it to be that she involved Bernie and that Sheldon called Amy only...in other words it was initiated by her not him to get Bernie involved. I think it still sounds like it is going to be a great episode regardless, but I am hoping for more Shamy scenes sometime this season and there are not very many episodes left.

koops Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 I'm not surprised to be honest. Yes, it would have been nice to have Amy physically coming to the school but I was wondering how they would have fit Penny in the episode if they had done that. Also, we don't know how the phone call played out. Let's wait and see. The writers are trying to keep things slow, if they spend too much time together this speeds up things I guess. It's frustrating because this year has probably been the one with the least amount of Shamy joint screentime, but I'd rather have this than tension and/or drama. Oh! I have a question if Monique or Kyzzx venture in here any time soon. Did they show 6x17 and if so, what line did they use when Sheldon offers to give pointers to Raj about women?

stardustmelody Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 Well, I guess the problem is they started this season going quite quickly, even Mayim mentioned that in an interview earlier in the season. Then suddenly, it was like they put brakes on and slowed it way down. I suspect that is because they must know they are going to be renewed for more seasons, but it makes it hard on the viewer to keep changing the pace on us. I do agree that I would rather go at a slow clip than have negative tension or break-ups. I guess I would have been more patient had they not set a higher pace earlier and then suddenly slowed it way down. I think they still could have them in scenes together and keep it slow though. They could do some of the things we suggested...have them play games together, get involved in a project or adventure together, etc. and continue with more eye-coitus and hand-holding. I just miss them being together. I do agree that they had to figure out a way to involve Penny in this particular episode so they handled it a way to make it work.

Kiru Breezy Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 We've had like 5 episodes in a row with them together physically...so I love stories without them together sometimes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
koops Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 (edited) I don't feel like the season has started fast and then slowed down, I feel like it's been pretty even. There's sweep periods where you have the massive leaps (6x01, 6x10, 6x14) but for the most part it's been sped up, then slowed down, then sped up again and I think now we're in the slow down phase and it will speed up again when they start taping stuff for May.

Agreed, and in those episodes we've seen a growth spurt in their relationship. I'm not complaining. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroluv Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 Don't worry guys, we'll get our big Shamy moments. It may not come until May Sweeps, but I trust the writers to pace things properly. I think sometimes we all get so excited and worked up that we forget that one of the things we love most about this couple's story is the slow, steady build-up and anticipation. This is what the writers have done all along - they throw us a nice, meaty bone halfway through the season, then leave us to chew on it for a while (I know...another metaphor. Couldn't help myself). I am choosing to expect very little over the next several months and just enjoy the other elements of the show as much as possible (which I do already). But there had better be some good Shamy action in May or I'm gonna go crazy this summer! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

koops Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 Also, and I don't mean to sound like I'm bursting bubbles here, but I get the feeling that we might not get that kiss this season. Seeing the V-day ep hug I think the writers are really sticking to their guns this year with the whole seeing how much they can push the envelope with the relationship while keeping Sheldon Sheldon, like Mayim was saying. As much as I find the V-day hug endearing, that's the vibe I get from the fact that they had him not touch her. Then they might start afresh with a new approach in S7, but that to me seems to be the theme of S6. At this point I'd be happy if he learns to return a hug by the end of the season. If there's a kiss I think it might be Amy's. But I'm open to surprises, they sure as hell shocked me with 6x14. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroluv Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 I think we might get some kind of verbal affirmation from Sheldon that he has strong feelings for Amy rather than something physical. I'd be happy with that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mentioned this idea on the other forum... I also think it would be interesting if Amy were to leave for some project at the end of this season and at the beginning of next season they have her still gone, with the implication that she's been gone for the 3 months of the hiatus, like Howard was with the Space Station, and isn't back yet. So, even though she and Sheldon have been Skyping and emailing, etc., I think it would be fun if Sheldon kind of went to pot--letting his hair grow, not going in to work, moping around the apartment in dirty clothes or in his pajamas, etc.--while she was gone.

silverangel Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 Agree....slowed enough for non-sweeps and will gather steam again for May. May I quote Howard " Always leave them wanting more" . And we want more of Shamy hugs and holding hands.. gazing into each othcers eyes... It's like appetite stimulation ... by eating... appetizers..

I wouldn't take it that far maybe, I think as much as Sheldon would miss Amy that sounds more like a break-up scenario, I can't imagine him putting his obsessions for work and cleanness aside, it would be a bit too OOC I think. But it'd be funny to see him be restless and insufferable, especially with Leonard, maybe not sleeping well, for a couple of eps, yes. Or maybe his obsessions actually flare and he cleans all the time. Maybe Leonard mentions how he has to constantly keep an eye on him because he runs off to pet stores to buy cats again. lol.

I already see it... Sheldon missing Amy and others will wondering what the hell is going on.. he would have come himself to conclusion why he is like the-hell-with-everything, what is that feeling that something is not right, that something is missing and maybe someone is missing. And then it could be a good conversation with Penny that he realized that what he feels. I wish we should write the script Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
koops Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 The tag scene in the latest report makes me love Sheldon even more. I HATE the hormonal guy who jumps on the makeover girl scenario, I am SOOOO happy he is completely indifferent to it and that they are showing the contrast between him, Howard and Leonard.

Kiru Breezy Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 I can't wait to see it, and I'm glad that she comes home to him and is lying on the couch afterwards. Aww bless. As for the kiss....we didn't see TLA coming last year of TCR and it hit us bam! in the face. They've been making multiple references to Shamy and sex/kissing, so we'll see...his 'thin beckoning lips' her LOL Snow White quips. I dunno...I'm just intrigued by it all.

May sweeps is 3 episodes... don't forget the lip gloss. I'm keeping my expectations low, hope to be pleasantly surprised. I'm now really interested in hearing what take they used in 6x17 about Sheldon and his "pointers". Because the one about the mind being the best aphrodisiac ties in so well with his indifference to the princess makeover. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmp Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 This episode does sound great. I'm a little worried, though, that the last part will come across as Amy pushing/nagging Sheldon to kiss her. I hope not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, spook isn't he?... Howard and Leonard with that scenario are so typical, but Sheldon will have to learn to be more caring, and he has a lot of work with expose his feelings, but he is working on it, and he already is more mature. And when he will know what are feelings for he become a perfect man. Edited February 13, 2013 by silverangelD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
