Pomita Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 In another note episode 6-15, in my opinion, puts to rest the idea that Leonard and Penny will move into Penny's Apt. We've already seen what will happen, and while I believe the Shamy lovers would be happy I don't think the writers will do it. I wouldn't be happy. I've always said I want Sheldon and Leonard in 4A till the end of the show. Maybe I just have a hang-up about it, I don't know.. but Sheldon/Leonard together as flatmates is such a bedrock of the show. Plus, can you imagine Sheldon giving up his spot? LOL. I think he'll take that couch with him even if he ends up living under a bridge. Lol, I can picture it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmp Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Amy would never consent to a double wedding because it would kill her chance to be a bridesmaid for Penny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koops Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 (edited) I see how they can solve both the double wedding and living arrangement problems. If once Penny proposes Leonard just can't wait to marry her and decides to do so in a rush, at the end of the penultimate season. That way they would be married but everything regarding living arrangements and logistics would still be up in the air and they could use the last season to sort that out (with all the comedic implications) so that Leonard can still live with Sheldon. Final episode, Shamy wedding, Leonard moves out, Amy moves in. The end. Edited January 28, 2013 by spook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmp Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 I like the endings you guys are proposing, but what's the next step? Currently they're pretty well established as a couple with a strong commitment and emotional bond, and with minimal protesting Sheldon is allowing Amy to hug him. Except for the hand-holding last season, he hasn't initiated any physical contact, let alone a kiss. Is another kiss initiated by her next, or will he reach out for her physically with hand-holding or a hug? Or something else entirely, like sleeping platonically in the same bed?

koops Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 I think it's about damn time he initiates something physically meaningful. I don't know what it might be, although a kiss would obviously be at the top of the list: even these two being these two, I think the time is more than ripe for another one, it's been over a year since the last one and Amy doesn't even remember their first kiss. As I said once before, I think a great way to have him initiate a kiss while still being in character could be to have him re-initiate a kiss she originally started, along the lines of the "Why did you stop?" hug. Keeps a bit of that Sheldonesque pride while giving a little at the same time. But, kiss or no kiss, at this stage, I think the writers should loosen the restraints on him a little and let him at least initiate a proper, conscious, boyfriend-like display of affection, even if it's just returning a hug from her properly. I do honestly believe, at this stage, that there's no other reason not to let him do that than the attempt to shelter him too much as a character.

I think they are going to have to loosen the restraints a bit. While I think what they did in 6.16 is very in character, definitely had some poignancy to it, fans will start to get restless if he continues to keep walls up so high. They are going to have show more of him making some effort. I think the only thing that bothered me a lot in 6.16 was his comment to her about "ruining Valentine's day". While the pat on the leg was good, very good in fact, it was the comment that was bothersome. I know they did that to try and get laughs, but it left a bad taste because it again seemed like Sheldon couldn't stand the touching. Yet two episodes before he is telling L/P that he is working on it. So it was very contradictory and made it feel like everything he had said previous to that was thrown out the window. I think fans are going to have to see him making an effort and showing he wants to be more involved physically. It would be good for him to talk about dreaming of he and Amy in throes of passion or something. It would go a long way. Even if he doesn't touch, kiss, etc. by showing through conversation he does desire her would definitely improve the situation. As far as how they end the series, I think Kiru expresses my feelings about things. I see Sheldon and Amy becoming intimate the season before the last one because they will want a whole season of fall-out, engagement and then a wedding. I do believe a wedding is the end-game plan for this couple. I don't see them throwing a double wedding with L/P though. To be honest, part of me suspects that Sheldon/Amy may actually be the first couple between the two to get engaged, but the last to actually get married. I could see Penny is someone that seems like she would do it more impulsively and not plan a wedding. I could see her proposing to Leonard and begging him to drive to Vegas for them to marry in a chapel kind of thing before she chickens out again. I think she likes the idea of being with Leonard and security marriage could provide her, but she also is afraid of commitment and will struggle with that throughout. So I could see her becoming very impulsive once she determines she wants to propose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiru Breezy Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 I agree Spook. I think something physical will happen...just not sure what. Although I know coitus is out of the question this year....I wanna see expressed intimacy. Still 8 episodes left...1 more sweeps & one more sweeps period. So...any card can be played.

Kiru Breezy Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Oh and as for the comment after the leg pat...I can see Jim Parsons totally turning that line & playing it not how it is read. Also...as for Sheldon ending the hug..that shows progress...he is working on it...its gonna take time & we have lots of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koops Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 To be honest, about 6x16 though, I'm not sure if he meant ruining because of the hug, I think he might have been referring to the fact that she was about to get weepy/emotional. Since it was established 2 eps earlier that he does like her hugging him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since it was established 2 eps earlier that he does like her hugging him. Yes. It's like, she said that they didn't want the traditional lovey dovey valentines and instead they have the "typical Sheldon" evening. Amy being emotional is "ruining" the moment. And yeah, they have established he likes her hugs. He's not really bothered with physical contact that much any longer and said he's working on it. So, the hug isn't really bad. Maybe we can discuss this better once we really do see the episode and what actually happened. Basically Kyzzx and Monique have mentioned in their taping reports that Penny asked about "physical relationship" but in the promo she actually said "sleep" with Amy.

I think that's because she asks more than once. Leonard interrupts her first, then Sheldon explains his issues and then Penny asks again and then freaks out. She probably uses slightly different words, but the essence remains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The God Particle Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 I'm please that others have started to see what I've seen for some time as far as Amy being the one who deep down has more hang-ups than Sheldon and if given the go-ahead by him may be the one to put the brakes on. As far as where this couple is going I could see them getting married but continue to live apart. That type of unconventional behavior suits their relationship quite well. The final episode could be them moving in together at last. They need some time as far as I'm concerned. No matter how much I wanted that Sheldon kiss in the Valentine's Episode (and I did!) this slow progress is so them. It fits with their personalities and lack of experience.

rubyanjel Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 I'm not accusing anyone of inaccuracy, just to make it clear. Only that I've noticed it from the taping reports and the promo. But that's not the hype here. The thing we have is THE EPISODE IS IN THREE DAYS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stardustmelody Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 It could be they used a different take in the promo than what will air as well. They do that sometimes. In a way that is good too because it shows what the intent behind her question really was (with the promo it is very clear). Jeanalice, I don't think anyone thought you were being accusatory. I knew you what you were saying right off. I am so excited about this episode. I think out of the three we know have been taped, this one excites me the most to be honest. This one seems like it is the game changer out of the rest that have been taped. It is going to set the stage for not only the rest of this season, but also for the future seasons. I honestly believe they have been given the green light for seasons beyond 7, but everything comes out at the same time in the Spring so they are having to keep it under wraps. But based on what we are seeing in the taping reports, it appears to me that they must already know. Besides, logic would put it that there is no reason to not renew it with the ratings it is getting. The only way there would be a problem would be if Jim decided to not renew his contract (which I doubt would happen). I think they all would be willing to re-sign.

But that's not the hype here. The thing we have is THE EPISODE IS IN THREE DAYS. No worries, girl. She first asks, "are you ever gonna sleep with Amy?" He replies with something like, "well, that is personal..." Leonard says, "we don't ask him questions like that." Penny says that she does ask questions like that, Sheldon explains himself to Penny & Leonard and she then asks, "so does that mean your relationship with Amy might some day get physical?" Or something along those lines. Just to clear that up :-) Monique Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stardustmelody Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 (edited) How do you know she is in the episode? Just curious how you get so much inside information. She may already have a copy of the script and is studying it while she is flying back. Edited January 28, 2013 by stardustmelody Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbangsheldon Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 I've said before, I don't think they'll leave it to the last episode, just because there's a lot of potential funny storylines to come out of it. I think it'd be disappointing if they left it until the last possible moment just because of that. Also, I don't think they would have dropped the 6x14 bomb so soon if they hadn't expected to do something about it relatively soon. 3-4 years is a LONG warning. I do think they've thrown that out there to prepare people mentally for it, and if they had been planning to leave it last, what's the point of warning people? I don't think the purists would get upset if it happened at the very end. In any case, I don't think it's going to happen until at least S8. I totally agree. I will be disappointed if they consider it a series finale thing. I think next *praying to a deity I don't believe in* will be a kiss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since it was established 2 eps earlier that he does like her hugging him. Does he like her hugging him yet, or does he just not mind? I would like to think he likes it but it's hard to tell until we see the two hugging episodes coming up. It will be interesting to see if the leg pat in 6x16 is a gesture of affection or more of a "yeah, yeah, you can stop now". We may not know for sure he likes it until he initiates physical contact. I predict a Shamy kiss in the season finale this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
