Popular Post sECUREij Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 I got say BURY Shenny I'm so sick of the writers constantly putting those subtle little nods towards the Shenny fan base. You killed that ship in 2009 so why are we still getting these type of Shenny plots. Focus on AMY, the girl. who was custom built for Sheldon, no more of this bs psudeo Shenny sub plot shit. Get on with Shamy. 15 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post koops Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 From what I gather from the tidbits we got, this ep is a bit on-the-nose about the whole Shamy thing. It feels like they glossed over the most subtle and interesting developments to put a giant neon sign on where they are going with it, which is not very subtle or necessarily compelling. I mean, you don't get much more on the nose than the psychic scene. I don't know that it was necessary to hammer home the obvious by dropping these anvil-sized cues at the cost of ignoring what might be a more realistic dynamic between the two: like, why would Amy find Sheldon's career crisis and complaints tedious, when she's a scientist? That's not very empathic as a scientist nor as a girlfriend. And then, at the same time, she complains he doesn't open up to her? When she was bored by his complaints to start with? That doesn't make a lot of sense. Not to mention how absurd it is that she complains about Penny getting him to do stuff when they had the whole Cooper Extraction episode about Amy getting him to do stuff he wouldn't normally do. Not that I don't think Penny has a track record of also getting Sheldon to do things, but Amy has just as long a track record, if not longer. This episode kind of reminds me of the whole Thanksgiving business with Penny being married just so they could hammer home the proposal thing with Lenny. Not very necessary at all. Create a rift of sorts in the couple so that it becomes obvious where they are headed. The tag is interesting though. On the one hand, it's kind of stupid that they keep going with this idea that Amy is trying to seduce him when she then gets all stumped and shy and stiff as a board when they kiss. Not to mention repetitive, it's Snow White all over again. On the other hand, it's interesting that in the third take they clearly have Sheldon react to it for the first time ever, and that they usually go for the last take when they do multiple takes. Which means that the swallow was there for a reason. All-in-all, it just feels a bit too much like an on-the-nose, lazy episode to me on first look at the tidbits. Especially coming in the wake of three wonderful episodes. But we'll see where they're going with this. 16 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irene Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 Yeah. So Amy finds Sheldon's complaints about his career tedious after what? A few weeks at most? Yet how long has she been watching his (to her, tedious) Star War/Trek movies? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
notchinc Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 It's a callback to Bernadette's approach to Howard described earlier in the episode. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
koops Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 (edited) Yeah I agree. To me, I just find sheldon reacting to Amy dressed as catholic girl a little odd. I mean we've been given almost 3 seasons of Amy trying to seduce Sheldon but it always ended with "Sheldon is not interested in physical appearances so Amy don't even bother seducing him in that way" this scene breaks the character. On the other hand I guess sheldon reacting makes sense cause they're now "kissing like mommy and daddies do" I JUST DONT GET THE WHOLE AMY WEARING CATHOLIC UNIFORM IT DONT MAKE SENSE TO ME AHHHHHH ok I'm done. Well, that's exactly the point, Pearl. If they had had Sheldon react like he always does, then there's no point. The swallow is there to say that things have changed now. One of the things that is still very much murky is whether or not Sheldon is sexually attracted to Amy; other than TLA we have never had a clear indication. This scene served that purpose. And it's not going to be the last, I don't think... Edited April 2, 2014 by koops 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbhf Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 Could it be possible that a lot of what was said between sheldon and amy about each other was because the writers are trying to show tension or frustration? That's why they added the tag scene and why the fortune teller said that all his problems would be solved if he commits Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why they added the tag scene and why the fortune teller said that all his problems would be solved if he commits Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I think there is some mild frustration, but not any kind of real problem between them. She's tired of him going on about his career conundrum, he expects her to listen to him (not talk, for pete's sake!) and he still doesn't like holding hands (which is different from kissing on date nights, IMO.) I think it's similar to her frustration when he was trying to learn how to be funny or when he was obsessing about the game console. Although she loves him, obviously, he can still drive her nuts with his obsessive thinking, etc. And even though he can kiss her now, he still sees her desire to hold hands "all the time" and all that as her flaws. But I think that's mostly just the catalyst--temporary frustration--to drive her to escape his company for an evening, not a major flaw in their relationship. The psychic scene wasn't the tag, but it is a way for them to have someone outside of the gang address his relationship issues. That if he gives in to his feelings for her, all of his other issues will fall into place. It's a little on the nose, but at the very least, it gives Sheldon another voice (besides Amy, for instance) telling him to commit. While he may not believe in psychics, he does have a total stranger telling him something he might really know down deep inside. I'm pretty sure I'm reading a little too much into this, but that's how it strikes me. Edited April 2, 2014 by phantagrae 19 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post totabcn Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 Scene 1 LS apartment. Sheldon is working on his whiteboard while Leonard and Penny are talking on the kitchen isle. Penny: "So at this point my DNA is getting mixed with the gorilla's but I notice they're only attaching fur on everything but my cleavage. So I ask and they say that it's important that my boobs are the last thing that turn ape" Leonard: "it's nice they think there's a story behind that" Sheldon turns around as asks, "Leonard out of these which do you think is most promising?" Leonard looks a bit flattered that he'd asked for his opinion, "I think dark matter is best right now" "Thank you that's very helpful" and crosses off dark matter on the board. Penny: "Sheldon what did we say about being a nicer friend?" She turns to Leonard "and what did we say about being a gullible weeny?" I believe it was Leonard who says they should start doing Anything Can Happen Thursday to give sheldon some ideas Penny: "that's a great idea why did you guys stop doing that?" Leonard: "you called it stupid and we kinda stopped" "Yea that sounds like me" Scene 2 continuation from previous scene. Sheldon: "What can we do that's fun" Leonard: "what can we do that's different" Penny: "what can we do that's free?" Sheldon to Penny: "I don't know. What do you wanna do? Penny to Leonard: "I don't know. What do you wanna do?" Leonard: "Now I'm starting to remember why we really stopped doing Anything Can Happen Thursday" Sheldon: oh I have an idea! We order pizza. We always order pizza. Sheldon: Hmm. Oh I have an idea we get calzones and cut them up to eat them like pizza. No. Sheldon: There's a role playing group that reenacts scenes from Lord of the Rings on Giffinson Park. Penny: "Talk to me about the calzones thing again" Leonard: "let's just walk around and find a place to eat" Leonard and Penny walk to the door. Sheldon takes out a pointy wizard-like hat out of his desk drawer "would that place be near griffinson park?" "No." "Okay" and puts it back Leonard: "Raj and Howard are at Mrs Wolowits' house should we call the girls?" Penny: "no Bernadette is working late tonight" Sheldon: "and Amy is sick" Leonard: "what's wrong with her?" Sheldon: "she talks too much she wants to hold hands too much" Leonard: "that's not what I meant" Sheldon: "If you're asking what's making her ill you should ask what's making her ill" "What's making her ill." "Oh who knows" Sheldon walks through the door. Penny: "it's Anything Can Happen Thursday maybe he gets pushed down the stairs" Scene 3 mrs. Wolowitzs' house Howard says something about her mom not taking her meds. Raj: "What I do when cinnamon doesn't wanna take her meds is I wrap it with cheese and she doesn't notice it" Howard: "Good idea. We'll wrap her meds in cheese have cinnamon eat it and then my mom can eat cinnamon" "so what do you wanna do?" Raj: "how about we watch a movie?" Howard: "sure but my mom doesn't have much to watch. Unless you wanna see a video of her colonoscopy" "I was thinking we watch House of 1000 bodies (or something along those lines)" "A gory movie you hate that stuff." "Yes but Emily likes them and we're gonna watch it tomorrow so I want to be prepared" "It's actually not a bad idea" "So you'll watch it with me?" "Yea" "You're a good friend. I owe you one." Then his mom calls Howard to help her out of the tub and he looks at raj wanting him to help, Raj: "not that one" Scene 4 LPS walking outside They have a few lines I don't remember well. Then they spot Amy and Bernie at a restaurant. Penny can't believe it and wonders why they would lie Sheldon: "Good question." Knocks x3 on the window: "Amy and Bernadette" Scene 5 Mrs W's Raj starts naming all the horrors stated on the summary of the film. He's grossed out. "I just helped my mother out of the tub I'm one horror ahead" Raj tells him he's a good son and asks how he does it. Howard says it's all about beach towels. Raj says "let's start this thing" and takes the DVD out and sees someone's head is on the front of the DVD and shoves it to Howard. Howard: "Yea you're going to do great with this" Scene 6 LSP Amy and Bernadette are all at the restaurant. Penny: "why did you guys lie?" Sheldon to Amy: "yea you said you were sick but you look as pale and tired as always" (.......) Bernadette: "it's just that we were tired of hearing you complain about the gorilla movie" Amy to Sheldon: "and I was tired of hearing you complain about what career to choose next. (To penny) But that doesn't mean we don't love you" Penny: "I don't complain constantly about it! (To Leonard) right?" Leonard: "I also love you" She takes sheldon and says something like they're gonna support each other cause that's what friends do or whatever. Scene 8 at a different restaurant Penny and Sheldon are sitting at a Asian mix (?) restaurant but Sheldon's not eating. He says he doesn't understand his food because there's Chinese noodles, Korean sauce and a taco. That his mom would roll her windows up if she had to drive through this meal. Penny asks why he's not mad at Amy. He says he is. That he's taking her to this restaurant next date night. Scene 9 mrs W's Raj and Howard are grossed out by the movie. Howard pauses it and says "so let me get this straight. 20 minutes in and some crazy lady kisses a fetus. A dude chops off the daughter's father face off and now he's making out with her while wearing it?" "What kind of person would enjoy this. Do you think he has some like psychological problems?" "Like that matters you would stay with her even if she had a fridge full of her ex's chopped up bodies" "I do like that the ex boyfriends are out of the picture" ((Okay I'll finish the rest tomorrow I'm really tired)) 30 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if the quality of different episodes and plots has anything to do with that who of writers are involved in the storywriting. However if I remember right Prady was involved writing the last two episodes 19-20, which I get the feeling I'm going to love those episodes. Now I'm kind of hoping now he would be a writer for the finales too... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
