hamerman55 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 They can't have him freaking out about germs in every episode! and they can't cover every conceivable angle or the show would be impossible to write! But his germ phobia runs through all the seasons. He has wipes and sanitizer. The thing is Sheldon is changing , evolving and the lines are not so defined anymore. If he recovers from his germ phobia eventually, I'm sure some fans will say he was never germ phobic. I'm more of a purist in that respect and I prefer to say Sheldon is changing. I have a specific problem with the scene where he eats the cookie from Leonard's hand after he refutes Raj's contention regarding mummies and zombies. In the second season, Penny earns a strike for touching his onion rings. This was a big deal in that episode Now, he eats a cookie that Leonard handed to him. I'm all for character growth, and not necessarily a slave to continuity, but this is a huge break. It is pretty close to drinking out of Leonard's glass ( unless his concern about germs is specifically those resulting from someone's mouth.).

koops Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Another interesting possibility that is not too far OOC for Amy is that she might take that as a compliment. Yes, that is definitely a realistic possibility. Or, even better, Amy is the one that starts going tit-for-tat and either make up stories of her own to tease Sheldon or just tease him about it relentlessly. I can actually see quite a bit of comedy potential if she comes up to him with a different rumor she heard about them every day and is all "So, apparently we do X and Y" and see Sheldon try to squirm his way around that. Even more interesting would be if we found out how much of that stuff is just made up lies and how much of that stuff is actual fantasies he is starting to have. It would be an interesting way to open up his sexuality a bit more without going too far, especially if Amy is totally oblivious to the fact that they are actual fantasies and keeps teasing him because she thinks they're all lies.

All good ideas IMO. I can't wait to see if she finds out as any of these possibilities make for some funny stories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stardustmelody Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 (edited) If Amy hangs around Cal Tech for a little while, do you think the writers will have her learn about the smack Sheldon was spreading about their sex life. Kripke dropping a few suggestive comments when she walks by or when she is with Sheldon, maybe? I actually hope they do revisit that story because it never felt satisfying that Amy never learned of it. However, I am with Koops on this one. I think she might think it was either a compliment or that her reaction will be one done in not a dramatic way but a funny way. I could see her telling Sheldon that she is willing to protect his reputation, but for a price. She will tease him about it, but in the end her price will be something totally wacky (not what everyone would think...that she would use it to get him to kiss her or something). But I think she will use it for something really funny (or possibly force him to a family-oriented event). I think Amy would be stunned at first and perhaps her initial reaction might be a bit of anger, but then I think she will laugh and think, "hey this isn't so bad. My boyfriend clearly is thinking of me in a sexual way." So she then decides to toy with him with a suggestion of going along, but for a price. But the price he has to pay isn't sexual in any way...he just sweats it thinking she is going to ask for something sexual. Yes, that is definitely a realistic possibility. Or, even better, Amy is the one that starts going tit-for-tat and either make up stories of her own to tease Sheldon or just tease him about it relentlessly. I can actually see quite a bit of comedy potential if she comes up to him with a different rumor she heard about them every day and is all "So, apparently we do X and Y" and see Sheldon try to squirm his way around that.

It would be an interesting way to open up his sexuality a bit more without going too far, especially if Amy is totally oblivious to the fact that they are actual fantasies and keeps teasing him because she thinks they're all lies. Or, this approach works well as well. I like this idea too. Edited September 20, 2013 by stardustmelody Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rachelshamyfan Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Sheldon clearly said "word around the university is that I'm giving her sex organs a proper jostling" that suggests kripke has been talking about it?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koops Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 I just don't see the point in exploiting that storyline again for drama at this stage. Last season, yes, letting Kripke believe all those stories when he wouldn't touch her or talk to her about it was realistically something she would have a right to be pissed off about. But now that they've talked, had D&D sex and apparently tease each other constantly about it (there's been one light-hearted tease in every episode where they have interacted so far, except for the phone call I think), I'm not sure she would be angry anymore because she knows where he's at.

Occam's Chainsaw Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 I don't think they would play that card for drama, but they should definitely play it for laughs. Kripke makes some comment to 'Amy Fawwah Fowwew' about her sex life with Sheldon and she gets flustered and embarrassed and her denials only convince Kripke that it's true. As for the complaints about what topics are being discussed in this thread; I can understand being upset that finding the actual spoilers is difficult with the number of pages of discussion, but banning topics of discussion isn't going to help. Even without L/P discussion there would still be a handful of posts with actual spoilers amongst 50 pages of discussion. What would really help would be a "Spoiler Archive" thread which was just the actual spoilers so people can easily refer to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Letícia Parsons Jackson Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 (edited) Hey everyone! Speaking about the sides... do we have any new spoilers about 7.05? Also, one of my friends recently found a post on wikipedia with names from season 7 episodes. It's in portuguese, but the names are: 01 "The Hofstadter Insufficiency"Mark Cendrowski Chuck Lorre, Steve Molaro and Tara Hernandez 02 "The Deception Verification" Mark Cendrowski Chuck Lorre, Eric Kaplan and Jim Reynolds 03 "The Return of Leslie Winkle" Mark Cendrowski Bill Prady e Tara Hernandez 04 "The Output Cooper" Mark Cendrowski Chuck Lorre, Bill Prady e Jim Reynolds 05 "The Exploration Scientist" Mark Cendrowski Eric Kaplan e Maria Ferrari 06 "The Second Problem Sheldon" Mark Cendrowski Bill Prady, Steven Molaro e Chuck Lorre 07 "The Back Black" Mark Cendrowski Maria Ferrari e Steven Molaro I don't think it's true, but does anyone knows more about that?

Tensor Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 No, it's not true. The first two are correct, but third episode is "The Scavenger Vortex" and the fourth is "The Raiders Minimization". Leslie Winkle has not appeared this year.

I don't know where this person could have gotten their information about anything after the first two episodes, whose titles have been publicly released. We do know for sure the titles and writers of episodes 3 and 4 and we know the title, apparently, of the 5th ep. 7x3 is The Scavenger Vortex, Story by Dave Goetsch, Erik Kaplan, Steve Holland, Teleplay by Steven Molaro, Jim Reynolds, Maria Ferrari 7x4 is The Raiders Minimization, Story by Chuck Lorre, Jim Reynolds, Tara Hernandez, Teleplay by Steven Molaro, Steve Holland, Maria Ferrari 7x5 is The Workplace Proximity--no writer info yet. I don't think Prady posted a script cover for this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catlina Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 (edited) "Changes in Amy's job have brought her to Caltech and now it looks like Shamy will be seeing each other almost every day. Although it's great that Sheldon is doing his best to embrace his inner boyfriend, their new close proximity might smother their small but mighty relationship flame. And while one couple is getting closer together, another is drifting apart. " Very interesting indeed. I wonder if this means that Shamy will get closer and Howardette will be drifting apart? Or did they mean Lenny? But I didn't quite understand if "close proximity might smother their small but mighty relationship flame", does this spoiler mean a good or not so good news to Shamy? Their point was? I didn't understand what exactly is at risk - their relationship flame? So what would happen? Could someone explain it to me who got it better than me, sorry... I understand the metaphor, but I don't understand what way or what would happen - Sheldon clinging to Amy all the time and not giving her peace to work?

But the thing is, this was from E! which is notorious for taking creative liberties to sensationalize and draw drama and attention to things. Based on what we know, it comes across as a funny scene and not at all as they are describing. I am sure all will be well for all couples. Sure they hit bumps in the road now and again, but in a funny way and then they are fine. So I don't think anyone will be at risk by the end of the episode.

It'll be cute if Sheldon tries a little too hard to be a good boyfriend and overdoes it. Shamy fans: don't get your hopes up, but I don't think it has to be sweeps for something to happen. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think the L/P ILY was during sweeps. BTW, what's Howard doing giving relationship advice?! In this episode, he's having far worse problems than Sheldon and Amy.

Smack in the middle of Sweeps. But, then, nothing was said abuot the ILY, in promos so it basically wasn't known. They pushed Leonard's insecurity.

That's the never-ending song over there--and now it's been brought here. *sigh* You know we do these things just to mess with you and make your life a living hell.
