Madame Medusa Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 (edited) Madame the following is my opinion... I believe if Shamy breaks up, it will be forever. They aren't that sort of couple that can go off and on and still keep the audience loving them. So I don't think they will go quite there. I think they are just trying to create some level of drama for Shamy, and maybe not in the best way but that's what I feel they are doing. They want to not let fans get too comfortable with the idea of them being together in the end, and they want to leave mystery there I believe of will they or won't they? I believe they will keep Shamy together until the end and reward us for this later down the line for waiting. Right now is just the Shamy angst period. I don't think they will break up, actually, and I don't want them to. I agree with you about your assessment that they are not the type of couple to be on and off. I think that if they do break up it would be short and never happen again, because I think they'd be miserable without each other. But, someone asked if there could be a Shamy break up, and I said that anything is possible, in part because I agree with you that we've shifted into a more angsty part of their relationship. I think that when Bill said that Sheldon was "terrified" about the pace of the relationship, he meant it. I think that Sheldon is beginning to understand how deep he is in this relationship, and I do think some of his defenses and denial mechanisms are starting to fail, and that is causing him to panic a little. Not overly to the point of wanting to break up, but to the point of wanting to try to gain a little control back. He's been letting Amy handle the reins of the relationship for awhile, and responding to her pushing him or tempting him forward (Valentine's Day, for example, was a time Amy was actually NOT pushing. And Sheldon rewarded her for that) but never really applying any control of his own over how things are going. He's not opening up conversations about their relationship, he's not sharing with her where he wants things to go or where he hopes it'll go or if he wants it to stay the same, he's not trying to push her in any particular direction to change, he's just trying to remain even keel and yes, I think that is leading him to take it for granted. Or a sign that he's still uncomfortable with where he suspects things are going - toward sex. The boy has sex on the brain, I'm sorry he does, and he's not acclimated to that yet nor has he decided what he's going to do about that or how he's going to act on it. And he wants things to remain steady until he decides.) I hope it won't lead to a break up, and in my opinion I think it won't. However, like I said, I understand that I'm not in the writers room for this show and I don't know what is coming, and that anything is possible or would even make sense considering the back and forth of this year.

Kiru Breezy Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 Lol it's Jim in drag!!! I think he's such a cutie, but based on this photo, I don't know that he would win any beauty contests as a woman/drag queen. Good for him, though! Given how reserved and shy he generally seems to be, this must have taken some courage. I think otherwise. I think this is right in his wheelhouse as a stage performer. And the chance to dress in drag? C'mon...that's a bonus. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stardustmelody Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 I think that is more it...why it was shocking is because he generally is a bit more reserved. He definitely looks similar to Tim Curry's version. LOL! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmp Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 (edited) I'm with you guys. I don't foresee a break-up either, especially after CL said the producers are fascinated with their relationship and watching it grow. My take is this: the writers plan for certain "relationship" episodes that take care of the major developments such as S/A becoming officially a couple or revealing that "it's a possibility." In between, there are the more mundane interactions that may not quite support the level of the most recent major developments because the writers are focused on other aspects of the show. I'm OK with what's going on lately, but if there's a problem it's just lazy writing; they're verging on (some might say more than that) reliance on some overdone relationship stereotypes that really don't fit S/A so well. That's not to say the writers couldn't maintain the developments a little better because it doesn't take much, but what I mean by "lazy writing" is going for the easy joke at the expense of maintaining the development. I don't think they're going to ruin Shamy but I think we just can't read too much into the interactions between the big relationship episodes. P.S. Jim makes a good Dr. Frank N. Furter. He certainly looks the part and we know he can sing. I'm not a Rocky Horror fan myself but they no doubt did a good job.

AndyRenee Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 (edited) Going back to the whole breakup theory...do we really believe they would do THIS much work on them just to break em up? They'd be fools to do that. What a waste. If they broke up they'd have to switch the pairings off, such as make the Shenny and Lamy happen. Or completely introduce a whole new someone for Amy, leave Sheldon single, keep at it with Lenny. Just...all of that either doesn't make sense or involved way too much drama/effort. I don't think they will go there. All I can say is just that I really hope the creators/writers tread carefully during this Shamy angst period so they don't destroy what people love both for Shamy and the two characters involved in the relationship *fingers crossed* Edited March 21, 2013 by GothicTexan123 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rachelshamyfan Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 (edited) They won't split them up when they have worked so hard to build a relationship, I can see Amy going away for work purposes during the off screen hiatus and sheldon on missing her but they can still Skype text and email Edited March 21, 2013 by rachygd Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there's as much angst as people are saying. As I said above, I think it's just lazy writing, going for the easy joke that doesn't fit the relationship dynamics they've developed. IMO there's no intent to show much angst. The only exception was TSAS, which as BP said did show Sheldon's fear that the relationship was moving too fast.

koops Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 Oh wow you guys have been busy while I was sleeping! First of all, re: Shamy breakup. I think they're not planning one. I think if they had been planning one we would have seen the signs a long time ago. Things started suddenly getting sour in very recent episodes, everything seemed more than fine up to 6x17. I mean, if Sheldon really felt overwhelmed to the point of being terrified of staying in this relationship he wouldn't have made her his EC. I've been trying to wrap my mind around what the writers have been doing ever since and the only 2 explanations I can think of is that of really bad lazy writing (which is not to be excused in a relationship that is based on details and nuances) or that they're building up a sexually frustrated Sheldon. This last taped ep is one big metaphor of sexual frustration and it comes after 4 eps in a row where Amy does something to her looks and Sheldon gets snappier and snappier. Having said that, I'd rather they had a rift that it all were down to lazy writing. Also, I'm not sure who's saying what in the spoilers thread as I haven't checked that yet, but there are some Lennys who can't seem to wait for us to get our dose of suffering for some reason. The thing is, there is so much to be done with these 2 characters, I wish Sheldon's snappiness is due to something more interesting than leading to a breakup. Re: Sardi's. LOL is Jim wearing a sort of plaid jacket in that photo? haha! Oh Sheldon is rubbing off on him. And in drag he looks a bit like Carrie-Ann Moss. LOL. Love the choice of musical.

AndyRenee Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 It'd be cool if what they are doing with Sheldon was more interesting. They've always played different cards with this couple than anyone ever expected them to, so here's hoping! Lenny's can't compare Shamy to Lenny. Its not the same at all. Lenny it is pretty clear that they enjoy eachother sexually, reached a decent place as far as emotional connection. I say this with total adoration of Shamy but technically we only have mind connection, tiara, and an EC. While I find that amazing there is still SO much more to be done to show the "true romance love" between the two. I wish angst would come later when Shamy was more solid so as not to throw the couple before they have barely heated up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
koops Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 Also, to me the fact that they thought "I wish you were dead" and "Sucker" are two interchangeable lines is evidence that it's lazy writing rather than break-up planning. I really hope this is leading to some reveal in the finale about Sheldon being somewhat sexually frustrated (as much as it's possible for him to be at this stage).

Convict13 Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 No, but let her at least dress in fashion that looks her age. The problem is that she dresses like a grandmother. It is one thing to dress modestly and maybe even without a much taste, yet still have them be somewhat age appropriate. But she dresses like a 80-year old woman in those dresses. I think they could still give her the "Amy" look without going so extreme. I mean her regular clothes are at least still something a younger person might wear even if frumpy. But they are not age in appropriate. I just don't like it when they put her in things that are so much older than her age bracket. I don't care how frumpy a young girl is, she would never select something that her grandmother would wear. She would at least attempt to keep something in her age grouping. They could still find a dress that is modest and perhaps odd in style/color pattern, yet still more youthful is all. Remember she gets a lot of her clothes from dead relatives, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

koops Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 Why are people getting so defensive about discussing clothes? I don't think there would be any harm in giving Amy one decent dress for once, Sheldon does have nice suits next to his clown ones, they could do something similar for Amy. I see these as her "clown dresses". Not saying that it bothers me because Sheldon after all did seem to appreciate the floral one, lol, but as long as they don't put her in something that radically doesn't fit her personality, I don't see the problem. I think even if the dresses were the same but one color instead of pattern it'd be nice (again, just as with Sheldon's suits).
