Pomita Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 I don't think they need to live together in order to test that hypothesis.. it's getting tested anyway, currently and in the near future. The tension is very much there, between them, and there have been several hints through this season of where Sheldon's mind and heart are going. It's only that poor Amy hasn't got the memo so far. She would, therefore, probably be justified to be more frustrated than she seems to be; the fact that she appears to be contented and optimistic, for the most part, only speaks for how deeply she feels the connection with him, which for her overrides the areas in which their relationship is lacking, at least for now. The whole season has been full of sexual undertones with Sheldon, it's pretty clear they're moving him in that direction, slowly as it may be. I think Amy might be more relaxed if she finds out he's "working on it". Once she gets the reassurance his mind is in it, she'll wait. She's patient. She just needs to know. This is exactly how I think it's going to go. Amy is curious and eager for further progress into intimacy, but she's not exactly chomping at the bit; probably all she'll need, for now, is the comfort of knowing that the feelings and the effort are there from Sheldon's side, even if he's not quite there yet.

tmp Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 It's so hard to be patient to find out how these last two episodes of the season are going to turn out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJistheBOMB Posted April 1, 2013 Author Share Posted April 1, 2013 LOL I love the assertion that someone who comes on a board to discuss and ship fictional characters from a show they love has a sad life. As opposed to those who come on a board to hijack every single thread to bitch about a show they hate. Oh, the irony of life. Ain't that a bitch? Irony indeed.

MJistheBOMB Posted April 1, 2013 Author Share Posted April 1, 2013 Oh, no offense was taken at all! You are always fair and spirited in your posts. It looks like from your post above, we are in complete agreement. The writers in some of the recent episodes are trying to remind the viewers that Sheldon has not changed. I think they decided to do this after some softening of Sheldon in some of the early episodes this season. He admitted he wants to change for Amy, to overcome his phobia on touching and saying that he can see sex with Amy is in the future. Indeed I have surmised that the writers want to assure the fans who like Sheldon the way he is, that this process is not going to happen soon, maybe not for years. He is not going to spout romantic prose to her often, even if he ripped it off from "Spiderman" I wonder how they are going to pull this off which is more of a technical writing problem, since Amy is now at a different point then Sheldon in the romantic timeline. This is going to cause friction between them in the future unless they have Amy turning the other cheek very often. I wonder too because clearly, by the comments she makes every once in a while.....even the next two coming that haven't aired yet, she wants him badddd. LOL. Is the fact that she keeps dropping hints mean the writers will take action sooner than we think? We'll have to wait and see I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubyanjel Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Yeah, don't you just hate it when others demand the same freedoms as you! Who do they think they are! Next thing you know some of them will come over here and express opinions that differ from yours... oops. Actually at times their comments come off as making other people feel that they don't have the right to state their opinion because they think that shippers are insane and needs to get a life, which is coming off as very ironic for those who only shows up to bash and insult other people. Now who DOESN'T have a life? So, no. And sorry, but that so-called 'freedom of speech' doesn't mean you're free to insult other people for liking something that you hate.

BangerMain Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 (edited) The whole season has been full of sexual undertones with Sheldon, it's pretty clear they're moving him in that direction, slowly as it may be. I think Amy might be more relaxed if she finds out he's "working on it". Once she gets the reassurance his mind is in it, she'll wait. She's patient. She just needs to know. Dead on! She needs to know where he is emotionally. That is what is needed to resolve any future tension between Sheldon and Amy. It would give her some hope and allow her to wait for him to catch up. But this is what the writers did with Leonard and Penny. They made sure Leonard never knew just how much Penny needed him when they were apart. I guess they are afraid such a conversation with the Shamy would resolve things too quickly. Edited April 1, 2013 by BangerMain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantagrae Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 (edited) I think that the Shamy is at a decision point. Homeostasis is no longer a viable choice. As Amy pointed out in 6-15. Amy: Well, what is it, then? I did everything just the way you like it. Sheldon: You did. Amy: Then what the hell, Sheldon? We have been going out for over two years, and I have been nothing but patient with you. I watch your dopey space movies. I signed your ridiculous contract. I even stopped wearing lip gloss ’cause you said it made my mouth look too slippery. I am the best girlfriend you’re ever gonna have. You give me one good reason why I can’t live here. And she's right, objectively there's no reason they shouldn't live together. In fact I think they should because I think they need to decide if their relationship is going to continue (and advance) as a romantic on or revert to a platonic one (as Sheldon seems to want). I think that living together (even in separate bedrooms) will put their relationship through the kind of stress to determine it's romantic viability. If it passes they can proceed at a pace that is comfortable for them, if it fails they can still be friends and Amy can look for someone else who would better fit her needs. I don't think that they have to live together just to test their relationship. Lots of people go through their dating relationship without living with their SO, even up until marriage. And some people don't sleep with their SO until marriage. I know this approach is less and less popular these days, but that doesn't mean that every couple should live together just to see if their relationship is romantically viable. I think the writers decided back in S4 that they were eventually going to become a romantic couple. It's just a matter of pacing. I think they just don't want to take them too far too soon because of the special nature of each of the characters and of their relationship. Since they're so different from any other characters on TV, their relationship is also going to be different.

Happened to me the moment I joined the forum simply because I like Sheldon & Amy together. I was insulted immediately as if I'm the reason why the show isn't what this person likes any more. Pisses me the hell off. That's why, thanks to those who made me remember the ignore feature exists, I utilize it. LOL. Otherwise, it's like you're beating a dead horse. I even had someone troll me in a thread just to post, "It's gone too far downhill & turned too much into a rom-com for my liking. For me personally, I'd like to see it end before I end up actually hating it (I did HATE The Closet Reconfiguration)." in a thread that had nothing to do with what they wrote to me. LOL. So, that's where the "ignore" feature comes in handy to me. I don't have to constantly read things like this from people who don't want to have an actual DISCUSSION instead of just trying to get a rise out of me with stupid one-liners. I'm over it. It's not worth giving people like that the time of day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing here is that it's hard to gauge Amy. At one hand once she knows, she'd be more willing to adjust and wait. And on another, once she finds out, she might speed things up, which would indirectly scare Sheldon. Although, I think this would skew more with the first type. She did say she thinks they'd get married in 4 years and that he's a flight risk. This woman's patience could really compare with a saint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koops Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Re: the arguments. I think the main thing that bothers me right now is that threads are constantly hijacked and go OT into the same argument. If people want to insult me, I can just avoid them and ignore their posts, but it's tiring not being able to discuss anything anymore without it turning into the same trite argument. There are dozens of threads already about how the show "sucks" right now, do we really need to have the same argument in every single thread, especially given that nobody will change their minds? Re: The Shamy, I just would like them to stick to the concept of a relationship that works for THEM, not just Sheldon. I know, like Phanta says, there are couples who go on for years without advancing physically, even as far as marriage, but in those cases both parties are happy with it. They've made it abundantly clear that Amy wants more and is ready for more, although that might not be sex yet per-se. So, to me, it's just not believable that she would continue being content with waiting for another 2 seasons or more if she gets no glimpse at all that her own boyfriend is at least thinking about it, or shows her that his heart is in the right place. It doesn't have to be physical gestures necessarily, but Sheldon has to show some affection in some way, be it with words or other gestures. I don't think it's a massive problem just yet, since he HAS shown all these things in the past, but they're getting very stingy with these displays and I hope it's something they will consider going into next season. If, like Monique says, they keep making it clear she wants him bad, but there's no indication she knows it's somewhat reciprocal, it's inevitable that they'll make her come across as pathetic and I don't want that for Amy. She's too awesome for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's sad that when you joined to forum and share with feelings to characters you like the most and suddenly someone attacks you because he's not enthusiast of what you like. I imagine that was so frustrating. Now there's a lot of Shamy fans on this tread to support eachother.

She's too awesome for that. I agree. For me it doesn't matter if this is comedy show or not, to make it more realistic and protect Amy from being pathetic they need to show that he wants to change not only for her but for himself to. He need to show that he has a heart in the right place. They can't keep a state like this too long, a state like he's dealing with his problems and phobias and she is soo patient that she will wait for his little gesture unnaturally long. It will be untrue. I don't know how much they will want to change him. I know that they can't change him to much because it would be false, but we don't know if he would be romantic or not, because if he will become more mature and we will see a changes in him but in a slow pace, if he will want to learn for her how to be more romantic they will show it. Not too fast, but it is possible. Even in real life people do such things for their beloved ones. I know that it is a show and this is Sheldon but everyting is in the writers hands, how they will show it in a smoth way, in such way which will be fit them. Look how much he did for her. In a season 2 or 3 we don't even thought that he will take care of woman who is sick given his germ phobia, or that he will want to have a sex with woman. So this isn't impossible. Not to scare Sheldon and make Amy feel that she is the only woman in a world which he loves. This can be show without any advanced physical things, but in a delicate and sensual way. As much as I love all this sexual undertones and puns and metaphor, they need to slowly show it in a more obvious way. I know that all this hidden sexual messages are more interesting, and I love it, and I want to see it more in a show, but how long she will had to guess. She is too amazing and wonderful person, and I don't want to see that she suffers somehow or get frustrated, or that Sheldon is so offensive to her, even if his behavior is so Sheldony.
