Maddie Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 Did anyone actually read the article? It basically said nothing important is happening this season. No wedding, no babies, sporadic physical contact is possible, but not guaranteed. But Molaro's not planning on changing apartments or anything crazy! They might joke about it... but don't worry... nothing is going to happen... That's not how they roll on BBT. Buckle up for season 9 and 10 I guess, that's when the shit's going down? But not this year. To the best of his knowledge at this time. But just in case you were worried, Sheldon might be over trains. That was the only big change that was kind of promised, Thank God Stuart is going to be squatting at Debbie's! That's actually happening! I am glad he talked about Shamy, but wow king of not saying anything. I don't think babies, weddings, or apartment switching are the only things that could be considered "important." In fact, when it comes to the Shamy relationship I would argue those things are pretty unimportant. The issues they are facing right now is trying to get Sheldon to give in, to give her what she needs in this relationship. Children and marriage is sooo far off. In fact, those things may not ever happen for them on the show. I don't know, I started shipping this couple because they're fascinating and fun to watch even without all the normal relationshipy stuff like babies and marriage. They don't need those huge milestones to make them interesting. They have their own milestones. I think they could end up living together near the end of the season, perhaps. But do you really think Molaro is gonna spoil that even before the season begins? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaliceinnana Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 I do remember his worse articles, I just don't know why he wouldn't try to build some excitement about things that might happen instead of promising all the things that won't happen. He ended the season with an engagement, but he isn't trying to engage that fan base by keeping the momentum going, except to say, your wedding ain't happening. Yeah, we are Shamy fans, we are happy with scraps, I am thrilled he isn't talking about how Penny's relationship with Sheldon is going to benefit blah Amy in a third person way. It's great Sheldon might treat Amy a little better and he might change a little bit. or he might not. Because nothing was specified. But to see him so excited by nothing happening with any storylines is just weird. I get that we don't know what's in his head and maybe he is just keeping it all secret, but what he told us isn't a lot. He talked a lot about what he wasn't going to do and about what happened last year. I know this was an amazing interview from him. But things are going back to normal, which isn't bad news.

wowbagger Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 Oo, I haven't read the article yet, so I will deserve the right to reverse my opinion. But anything betokening mutual respect and enjoyment for the Shamy is encouraging. Now if we could get them working together.....

FrenchBBTfan Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 I'm so excited! I wonder how they'll show Sheldon's well-hidden "interest" in a "physical relationship"... An episode of problematic "delayed puberty" would be hilarious. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cecilia Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 I will admit that I wasn't over the moon about the ''she'll keep trying anh he'll keep resisting'' but we have heard that before so I am more excited of the fact that he will probably grow closer to her and find himself caring about the things she likes and that we heard something about Amy's feelings outside the how-funny-hurt-Amy-is-let's-all-mock-her-together. I think that was a good indication for season 8. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marina Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 (edited) I was such a buzzkill a few days ago but I'm now bubbling with excitement. This is the first time we've ever gotten acknowledgement from any of the writers that they DO realise Amy is suffering in her relationship, and that she deserves better. This is huge. I was ranting against them not caring about her last week, but this interview shows me that they do care about her, and gave us an insight of Sheldon's feelings that was well needed. I'm also relieved to see that Sheldon's trip will not have been for nothing and that he will come back a bit changed, even if not too much because, hey, this is Sheldon after all. I am very excited to see Sheldon in a different mindset but still being himself. I'm also relieved to read that if they ever do have coitus, it won't be because he finally gave in - it'll be because underneath it all, their hearts beat as one, and what makes her happy makes him happy too. This is the closest we've gotten to the glorious Shamy days of S4 and S5 in two years. And given how last summer Molaro was all about Shenny in interviews, and we did get a ton of S/P friendship in S7, this gives me high hopes for Shamy in S8. I hope they don't disappoint - they just set the bar quite high for me! Edited July 31, 2014 by Marina Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddie Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 (edited) The caption is my favorite part of the article. I always kind of assumed Sheldon had an interest in a physical relationship deep down, but it's always nice to have confirmation. To know that their relationship isn't really about Sheldon begrudgingly and painstakingly agreeing to do things he never in a million years wanted to do because he doesn't want to lose Amy (although that does have a certain sweetness to it) but it's really about Sheldon realizing he wants these things too, even if he has to sacrifice his ego and everything he's believed in his entire life to admit it.

Chaliceinnana Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 I understand that for Shamy we aren't looking for big events. And I don't care about weddings or babies, personally. But there is a fan base that wants both those things. There's just a laundry list of things that aren't happening. What is going to happen this year. Beside Stuart squatting and Sheldon now hating trains and continuing to walk the fine like between resisting making Amy happy and keeping her from being sad? A clue might nice.

I know we were all hoping that this would be the case, but the writers have always been so elusive about it, both in interviews and in the episodes, that I was really worried they might go with the "he will give in so as to give her what she wants" scenario. Reading this, to me, it's like the difference between hoping your candidate will win the election and actually getting the first exit polls saying it's actually becoming a reality. I don't need Sheldon to become a fully red-blooded, hormonal male or to suddenly want to have her way with her all over the apartment, but to me just knowing he's starting to want her too is so heart-warming because I think there's nothing worse than having a frumpy, virginal girl who is the object of so many jokes and have her boyfriend never want her back the same way she wants him. In Romance Resonance it was so clear that she doesn't have any crazy erotic fantasies or demands about him, she just wants to be wanted back. That's why I'm so encouraged now, it's what I've been waiting to hear for years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lionne Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 I do remember his worse articles, I just don't know why he wouldn't try to build some excitement about things that might happen instead of promising all the things that won't happen.

He talked a lot about what he wasn't going to do and about what happened last year. I know this was an amazing interview from him. But things are going back to normal, which isn't bad news. Well, first of all, if Koops is unable to eat and beating me black and blue out of her excitement, then trust me, Molaro scored something here because Koops wasn't even going to watch this coming season, she was so burned out. Now she's excited, and I can see that some other people who were also burned out are pretty excited about this huge shift in Molaro's rhetoric about the show as well. Molaro is the head writer and show runner, and whatever he says is a spoiler of the general direction that the show is going to take in and of itself. But he has never, and neither has the writing team, made any really concrete spoilers about what is coming. Even the engagement last season was something that they did not directly spoil, he just said that Leonard and Penny were going to discuss "keeping score" about it, and it evening up, which it did. As Kaplan rather haplessly tried to express at Comic Con, they are not going to spoil anyone to specific events, and they don't exactly understand why people would want to be spoiled if they are watching the show as some "real" story unfolding before their eyes. I think that Molaro's words are wise - if he doesn't say that they are in no rush to bring babies on the show, and that the wedding is projected to be a long way off, then one hopes that people won't come into each and every episode fixated on babies and a wedding. Instead that they would focus on the "slice of life" things which are slowly unfurling on the show in their usual slow way. It's the laughter and insight into the characters that the show has always strove to provide, not "big" moments. And honestly, I think there's a difference of opinion on what "big" or special moments really are. A special moment to me was all of the gang quietly holding hands when Howard blasted into space, perhaps moreso than Howard and Bernadette's actual wedding. To me there are things which speak more to how much people care about each other than wedding vows declaring how much they care about each other. Where is his head at keeping it all a secret? Where it's ALWAYS been at - no one on this show gives out spoilers about specific events unless they are very small. Even then they say, "maybe Sheldon will do this," but we don't know if he really will until the episode in which it happens. Nothing is ever going to be specified - I think they were even cagey about Howard really going into space; specific spoilers are just not things we can expect. Looking at where the general mindset of the show's front runner, though, is in regards to the characters can definitely help us see further, though, and gives us the fun of speculating how things will go. For me that's more than enough fun; I'd prefer not to be told anything concrete like: Sheldon and Amy have sex in episode 8, Leonard and Penny get married in episode 12, Howard impregnates Bernadette in episode 14, space aliens come down and take over the planet in episode 18, Sheldon and Leonard finally build a death ray that works in episode 20, and there's a double wedding and triplets by episode 24. I hope that the gang will continue to have fun this year. I would not be surprised if Sheldon ends up with a rotating selection of horrible roommates - damn, that could be fun - and perhaps he ends up choosing Amy, or perhaps not. I'm actually in no hurry to see the two of them living together. In the long run though, it's all about the details in how things progress for me. I have to admit that sometimes I find myself in disagreement with people on this forum who have an attitude that it doesn't matter how Sheldon and Amy end up together in the end as long as they end up together. I'm not the "ends justify the means" sort - if Sheldon and Amy fight like cats and dogs and hurt each other, but then get married and I'm told they are "happy," I won't buy it and it won't be a fun journey for me. I want Sheldon and Amy to end up together, of course, and I want both of them to be happy. But I want to enjoy the journey of watching them get to that destination, not simply....reach that destination. It's all the beautiful little details along the way - like the way Amy smiles, the way Sheldon twitches, the way Sheldon melts, the way Amy lights up when he says or does something nice. It's him getting drunk and threatening to beat an apology out of Wil Wheaton; it's her sacrificing her grand romantic scheme of a perfact Valentine's Day to give him a date he'll actually enjoy. It's those sort of events on the journey towards wherever they are going that I enjoy, and hopefully this article indicates we're going to be getting more of them.

That's why I'm so encouraged now, it's what I've been waiting to hear for years. Yes, that's exactly it. There's something so beautiful about the fact that Amy is a frumpy, awkward, virginal girl with no sex appeal, the type of girl that no man would ever give a second look at, and yet the one person that's falling for her is a man that would have to need a gun pointed to his head to make any kind of romantic movement. He's literally interested in no one but her. It's almost miraculous. She really is his exception, as it is so often said. Against all odds, she's the one person that can get his motor running. That is why it's so important for him to have that physical interest, too. We may only see tiny glimpses of it right now, not sure if we're really seeing what we're seeing, but I have a feeling we're going to start seeing it a lot more.
