Ship Zone The Shamy Thread! (Season 6 Edition-Spoilers)

[Guest DroneInTheSun]

Day After Tomorrow, girls!...and I ain't talkin' about the movie. *bada-cha!*

 

[CaitAmber]

I'm using the icon I made for Adork, seems fitting. 

 

[savvyhat]

Eeee! I'm so essscited for the next taping report! :D

[Shamynanigans]

We're all so excited for the taping we've seemingly forgotten the (unfortunate) elephant in the room... what if there isn't a SIK in the finale?

We're all so excited for the taping we've seemingly forgotten the (unfortunate) elephant in the room... what if there isn't a SIK in the finale? 

 

Well we always have 6.23 so we can't be too disappointed, yes?

[tmp]

We're all so excited for the taping we've seemingly forgotten the (unfortunate) elephant in the room... what if there isn't a SIK in the finale? 

 

I don't think we can expect one.  I think a Sheldon-initiated hug is possible, but a kiss might be asking too much.  Let's try not to set ourselves up for disappointment.

I don't think we could be disappointed even if they had no physical contact...we still have 6.23 episode.  As long as he is "nice" to her, we will be fine.

[CaitAmber]

Even if we get Sheldon being nice to Amy in the season finale, I'll be happy. 6.23 has already satisfied me for this season, it was beyond what I was expecting. So I'm happy with whatever they give us. 

[koops]

I agree, I'm SO incredibly satisfied with 6x23, I can go happy over the hiatus. I'm actually more curious to see their first interaction in the next episode, given their first "sexual" encounter. I wonder how the writers are going to be spinning that, I'm not expecting a direct reference, but surely that must affect the dynamic a little.

 

I was also thinking this kind of plot might very well be used for more Shamy progress (Sheldon asking her to move in being an obvious one), but it's clear that the episode will be VERY Lenny heavy, and rightly so, so I'm not sure whether the writers will feel they have done enough with Shamy this year and just keep them in the background altogether. I hope they're going to tie 6x15 in nicely in this episode, since that one had no resolution, but, like I said, as long as there's no backtracking and maybe we get a hint that things are changing now that the sex card is out in the open, I'll be happy.

[CaitAmber]

And then Sheldon kisses Amy.

I don't think they can ignore what happened in 6.23. It will be the elephant in the room if the writers don't at least acknowledge that a shift in the dynamic of their relationship has taken place. IMO, the finale synopsis screams "we're going to be dealing with living arrangements and/or relationship issues that will affect everyone." I would be VERY surprised if we see no movement in either direction, or at least reinforcement of the change that's already taken place. Finales are not for keeping your most popular couple status quo.

With that said, last year it appeared as though nothing would happen with Shamy in the finale until the last 10 seconds of the episode -- then we got the hand-hold. It was such a small moment, yet extremely significant. We may be in for something along those lines, which works for me. Of course I'd be extremely happy if we got more (...and then Sheldon kisses Amy...lol), but I won't be greedy.

IF Leonard gets a temporary summer job overseas and penny goes with him I could see Amy staying at Penny's so she can give Sheldon a lift to work, not sure she would ask Sheldon to stay at his unless that is what Sheldon's wants to happen, but in anycase am looking forward to the taping

[koops]

I don't think it's going to be a temporary summer job, I don't see why Penny and Sheldon would be thrown for a loop so much over that. Sheldon may be because of transportation but Penny has been there, done that, when he went to the Arctic. 

 

Whatever happens, Amy isn't going to suggest moving in at all anymore. In a sense, her moving in is the same as the L/P proposal situation: it's in Sheldon's hands now. But I think the possibility of Leonard moving away permanently, and possibly followed by Penny, leaving Sheldon alone at Los Robles, would open a big can of worms for him. Leonard and Penny are his closest friends, it would be pretty traumatic for him to be left alone and I think that would definitely bring some major feelings towards Amy to the surface, especially given that 6x23 saw a MASSIVE leap in intimacy between them. The reason he didn't want her moving in in 6x15 was "the level of intimacy". How many times has the word intimate been used in 6x23?  

 

It all depends on how the writers want to spin the episode really, there's so many ways they could play it with Sheldon, some of which would only remotely regard Amy.

This is a very interesting plot. 

 

If Leonard just goes for the summer, nothing much to say. 

 

But if Leonard leaves for a long time, too much to solve.

 

But If Leonard doesn't go, the plot won't make sense much.

 

So, i think he will take the job [a non-temporary one] and go away. However, in S7, he decides to come back because he misses everything here, including Sheldon. 

[koops]

My prediction is: Leonard gets offered a job, after much turmoil, Penny decides to go with him. Sheldon throws a temper tantrum over Leonard leaving or gets majorly panicked and depressed about it. Amy will likely be bouncing back and forth between Penny and Sheldon as they freak. Given the recent developments with Amy in 6x23, and being forced to admit who the important people in his life are, he may ask her to move in with him. Towards the end of the episode, just as they're all set with the idea, Leonard gets offered the tenure from 6x20 at Caltech, because Caltech doesn't want him to go. In the end, nothing changes, but the couples are stronger than ever, as well as the friendships.

 

My wishful thinking for an end scene: L/P and S/A at the apartment, watching a movie, like old times, Lenny start cuddling and Sheldon gets the guts to initiate a cuddle of his own, kind of a throw-back to 5x24. You could throw the rest of the gang in there too, maybe they're all over to celebrate Leonard's tenure. But I'd love it to be just the 2 sets of besties. 

[rachelshamyfan]

I suspect if Sheldon does start initiating physical stuff it will be away from the others at least until he is comfortable with pda's

[untilyou]

Koops: I love the way you told the story. It was real and warm. 

 

I still follow my prediction. But as Chuck said there would not be any thing big, so yours will probably happen. 

 

Or, if they can surprise us AGAIN with something else, I would be very pleased. ^^

Then Lenny are in the oversized chair together?  Otherwise they're all four on the couch.

Yup, that's the image I have in my head Gives Shamy more privacy too.

[silverangel]

I think in episode 23 when everything goes so happily and Sheldon turns out to be so mature and caring for  Amy  he will not be afraid to show what he feels, and of course, that everything he did, he did for her, but also for  himself. He knows what he feels, he knows exactly that this desire is in him and he wants those intimate moments, and he doesn't hide it at all. He loves her so much that he knows, that at this time he can't give her what she wants, but it can be done by sexy DnD. Whole this ep. is so incredible  that we should not be disappointed, at least I'm not, it really makes me happy, this turn the situation, and that Amy knows that he also wants her, and how much he loves her.
I hope that Amy in  s7 will be able to feel how it's like when  Sheldon will  be able try harder for her,  she will be relaxed that this is his turn, and he will be more emboldened. I hope, because after the ep. 23 does not seem to me that the writers could again take a step back. It would be like digging its own grave, too much is going to happen in this episode.
He immediately does not change so drastically in connection Romeo and Casanova but I hope that he will slowly shut the door behind him and deal with the rest of the dragons.

I agree...I think this is very likely. It depends on how "emotional" and "dramatic" they want to make this episode, but I do think this is very much a possibility and very likely one.  Plus it ties up a lot of previous stories that had unsatisfactory and sort of a what the heck? kind of ending.   It helps make sense out of those episodes and wraps up the season well, yet at the same time gives us a hint of what S7 may have to offer.   Leonard getting tenure opens up lots of interesting dynamics between he and Sheldon in S7, plus provides even more "stability" for L/P down the road.   Sheldon asking Amy to live with him only to find out Leonard isn't going helps them deal with the fact that, while Sheldon is glad Leonard is staying, he also is going to be dealing with the fact that he almost had his girlfriend live with him and having him open up more to physical contact as a result.  It will help him realize he has broken another barrier.   Amy, while disappointed that she won't be living with Sheldon will realize that perhaps she wasn't as ready as she thought and we will start to see her side of things.  I think it really sets a nice stage for S7 overall, while also giving a great wrap-up to the season.

 

One thing I learned though, is no matter how much we predict things, the writers always seem to throw us for a loop.  They really amaze me with what they come up with so I have learned to not really expect anything.  I would have never in my wildest dreams had thought they would come up with what they did in 6.23.   That episode still stuns me.  LOL!   So they are welcome to stun (in a positive way, of course) for 6.24.

 

Still not sure how they are going to fit airtime for R/L and H/B in this episode.  There will be enough story alone with just L/P and S in this one to take up the full 20 minutes.  But they are clever and I am sure they will manage somehow.

 

If they do wrap up the unfinished business episodes and tie in previous episodes like 6.01 and 6.14, 6.15, 6.16 even as well as the tenure episode, then I will hail them as the most brilliant writers I have encountered on primetime network TV. 

[silverangel]

 love that scenario Koops.

I do not think that Leonard would take that proposal and leave,  it seems to me that it was a repeat of the end of the previous season. I think that  possible scenario is, thatLeonard gets the tenure, because Caltech will want to keep him stay, and if  it's not  going to be tenure, then something else will happen,  something that make him stay. I think that the writers came up with the plot of this proposal to bring closer to each other Sheldon to Amy / Penny to Leonard . I think that this proposal could have a great impact on the Penny and Sheldon.  Leonard is someone important for Sheldon, he is his best  friend, so this really could be traumatic , and then Amy will be with him.

It seems to me that when Penny finds out about this offer, she will want to go with him, but something occured to me,  if Penny might say  that she wants to stay, because this is the place where are everyone, about whom she cares and loves, and she has her classes in acting, and theylive here are compiled,  and she does not want start anything all over again, I think that Leonard would stay for her. I may be wrong but I think he could. That could led Penny and Leonard get closer to eachother even more, one it could be another step to stability, and marriage,  this is a very big sacrifice on his part, and finally I hope that perhaps thanks to this it could help her deal with her problems with commitmenst

It could be very traumatic and depressing for Sheldon that his best friend might leave him and he will be alone. I love that scenario stardust that Sheldon will broke another barier by inviting Amy to leave with him, and then when turns out that Leonard will stay Amy could be depressing and sad but for Sheldon it could be great breakthrough because he already asked her to leave with him, and thanks to this he will solve another problem.

We have to wait to see what will be.

I think in this case...because they have spent all season trying to show Penny's commitment to Leonard that this is testing her commitment (not his really). We already know Leonard is committed to their relationship and wants to marry.  The ball is now in her court.  So this job offer is all about Penny demonstrating her commitment to their relationship and I believe she will struggle at first, but then, as Koops said, will want to go with him (showing she is willing to leave everything for him).   This will be a huge step forward in their relationship and will definitely be setting the stage for them for S7.   The tenure offer is his way of saying now that she committed to him, he is going to stay so that she doesn't have to give up things.   It will be a way to introduce stability for them, but also tension between he and Sheldon over the tenure position.   It will also make Sheldon re-evaluate whether or not he has thought more highly of himself than he should have, letting this be his story in S7.  Sheldon will go further transformation in S7 emotionally and physically (with Amy).   So I think Koops has pretty much guessed where they are going.  But as I said, the writers could surprise us completely and do something shocking.   So I am looking forward to TOMORROW NIGHT!
