Ship Zone [Spoilers]Shamy S8 Thread

[Kathy2611]

Buts it's IC for Sheldon to do because he didn't get to finish something he started to say.

[luke]

If anyone wants a more word for word version of the two Shamy scenes, this is the best I can remember. It might be a little inaccurate but it's pretty close. And someone can correct it.

COLD OPEN

(making out), then they both pull away

AMY: I can't believe 5 years ago today was our first date.

SHELDON: I know. (a beat) Do you think I should start watching the Flash show?

AMY: Is that seriously what you're thinking about right now?

SHELDON: It's one of the things I'm thinking about (he said this very flirty)

AMY: Is one of those things me?

SHELDON: Yes! I was wondering if I should watch the Flash show. Oh, I know. I should ask Amy. (pause) Well anyway. (leans in to kiss her again)

AMY: (pushes him away, he looks at her confused) Are you kidding me right now?

SHELDON: Yeah you're right. You kinda killed the mood. (Stands up to walk to kitchen)

AMY: (stands to follow him) Don't you think it's a little ironic that you idolize a man who moves extremely fast when after 5 years all I can get out of you is a distracted makeout session?

SHELDON: Irony isn't really my strong suit. But I'm getting better at sarcasm. Would you like to try that?

AMY: (sarcastically) I'd love to!

SHELDON: (a pause, he doesn't get it) Whenever you're ready

TAG

I'd like to note here that while the Lenny stuff is happening it's very obvious Sheldon is trying to reach Amy through phone or on his computer. Finally in the last scene, she answers.

SHELDON: Hello

AMY: Hello

SHELDON: I've been thinking a lot about our relationship-

AMY: (cutting him off) I have been thinking about it too. Being your girlfriend is very difficult. It's both emotionally and physically exhausting. (Getting upset, close to crying) This is so hard because I love you, but I think it's best we take a step back and reevaluate our relationship.

SHELDON: (stunned) Oh

AMY: I hope you understand.

SHELDON: (pause) Okay

AMY: Goodbye, Sheldon

SHELDON: Goodbye.

He closes the laptop lid looking shocked and sad. He looks over at his Gollum figurine on his desk and reaches across to hold it.

SHELDON: Well, Gollum, you seem to be an expert on rings....

The audience screams bloody murder while Sheldon opens the desk drawer and pulls out the ring box. He opens it up and looks at the ring. Finally, after quite a bit of time, the audience quietens down.

SHELDON: What should I do with this one?

And that's it. No joke at the end. I'm guessing it will be a fade out rather than a cut to black. It was very heartbreaking and powerful and epic all at once. He looked shocked and upset but I definitely feel he has the determination to go after his woman.

 

It sounds like Sheldon was asking Amy's opinion on whether he should watch the Flash, not that he wanted to stop making out so he could watch TV - he wanted her feedback on something that was important to him, and then forgot it and tried to go back to making out - racing thoughts are part of what makes Sheldon who he is, he gets distracted easily - but the proposal seems like it's been something he has been thinking about for a while, still blows my mind he had a ring in his desk - what would first season "Social relationships will continue to baffle and repulse me." Sheldon, think of eighth season "What should I do with this one?" Sheldon - I am glad they didn't step on the ring moment with a joke, something the writers do to often, they are just going to let this moment sink in.

[RJ1013]

But seriously, what does Amy expect from Sheldon? What do YOU fellow shippers who are ok with Amy's reaction expect from Sheldon?

I don’t think that Amy is trying to change Sheldon, they’ve always been clear that she adores him and his quirks.

 

The only thing that I think Amy expects from Sheldon at this point, is that he tell her the truth about what he actually wants with her.

 

The writers have made Amy’s character pretty much inhumanly patient, and they’ve bent her to Sheldon’s whims for years. Yes, he’s made lots of progress, but he’s pushed back at her at every step. He’s still pushing for G rated encounters after 5 years, and you just know she had to negotiate hard for that anniversary makeout.

 

I don’t blame her at all for wondering in what way he actually wants her in his life, and an anniversary is a natural time for her to reflect on it. It’s definitely something that the writers need to make clear to both Amy and the audience, so I’m looking forward to seeing it play out.

[fitzsimmons]

Amy to Sheldon when he tried to go back for more kisses.

 

[kelliluvtbbt]

at this point... I'm actually thinking of all the things Sheldon could say to convince Amy otherwise. If Amy hears the reasons he loves her and he does find her sexually attractive and he wants to spend the rest of his life with her ( and not because they may be going to Mars ), the break -however long it lasts- will end right then and there. 

 

it's all the goodness we read in fan fiction.... we might end up seeing  A LOT of fan fic material next season. 

 

( btw- was this Jim's first real on screen kiss??????? I haven't seen him in any other show)

I'm sorry, but I don't agree with the bold part AT ALL. One cannot negotiate a makeout without the other person being a willing participant. And, from all accounts, Sheldon was MORE than a willing participant. Not only that, he wanted to go in for more and ranted at L/P about how they went from kissing to angry. I think that sleepover was not G at all in the end, and that this is not the first time they make out either, given the way it's been described. 

 

Other than that, again, I don't blame Amy entirely for being emotional and reacting like she did, and I do agree that the writers need to make him proactive instead of just reactive.

[RJ1013]

I admit that's an assumption of mine, but they've negotiated every single other step of their relationship, no matter how weird it might be. I also in no way meant that he was not an active participant.

After thinking about this report for a few hours  I am both thrilled and sad, as a lot of you are.

 

 I was wondering, if the Lenny storyline (elopement is huge!) was supposed to be the original big cliffhanger?  Maybe the writers changed the episode a little because of Mayim-they knew her Father was gravely ill.  The story only has her in two scenes.  Maybe they were uncertain if she would be there at all.

 

Going forward to Season 9 (OMG) Please please please dear writers do not drag the break /breakup on too long.  So hope all is resolved in 1 or 2 episodes.  I still think Lenny marries in Ep 200.  Shamy engaged before Lenny wedding.  

 

Loving this forum!!!!!

So basically tptb are gonna big up the kiss to ramp up the ratings and then at the end, everyone be like wth just happened!

I just re lived last night.. As I said at the taping.. I NEED MEDICAL ATTENTION

I feel like Sheldon has many feelings but never shares them.  I always feel like that’s another thing lacking within this relationship.  It’s like, Sheldon is such complicated character but when he’s with Amy he doesn’t open up enough.

The audience accuracy here is 100%

[nickelette424]

So I hope that they’re not going to turn this into “downtown hipster Amy” taking a break and “browsing around” and complaining about her “difficult” romance, because, honestly, as difficult as it was, it was also difficult for Sheldon (she was the one who put cards on the table that weren’t there to start with), and it also brought her a whole life and happiness she never had before in her life. 

 

 

I still have to catch up on this thread but I think this is very important and I think this gets lost sometimes because Sheldon can be difficult.  This hasn't been easy for him either.  This woman has come along and turned his world upside down and made him question the way he feels about a lot how he envisions his world.  Sometimes it comes across here that Amy is this perfect saint and Sheldon is a stupid fool she puts up with.  But Amy isn't easy either.  They have both put  A LOT of work into the relationship.  It is not as one sided as people make it seem.

[BBTGUY]

We all know in the season opener they can't just gloss over the fact he pulled out a friggen RING! As long as the writers don't make Amy freak out more and do something drastic IF he shows her the ring, then I'm cool with whatever goes down. I have to believe they will end up talking it out like they usually do and everything will be even better than it was before.

 

I vote we all pool our money and buy a time machine so we can jump forward to the start of s9 tapings...

[mirs1]

Hi! I'm new in the forum, maybe I've chosen the right day to join you! I'm in your ship and well, all that was told from the taping (besides, thanks to all of you...) sounds really confusing for me! Actually, since most of the  Sheldon's steps forward to Amy up to now basically came from something distressing for him (even the fort came from the disappointment for the missed simposyum afterall), I was thinking that also for the huge (as you told me, I'm looking forward to see 8.24!) kiss scene would be preannunced by some sort of stress or anger...instead was just a perfect (up to the Flash thing) romantic anniversary date...That also may be a sort of growing for Sheldon, he's more confortable with Amy and does not need anymore to conceal love feelings and "urges" besides other feelings, more familiar to him.

 

Anyway, I don't think Amy is overeacting; as some of you told, she is, in my opinion, at this point of the relationship askying to herself and to her boyfriend if she is really what he wants, if he really feels desire for her and this make out section really in my opinion answers (at least to her) "no" to this question... Amy is a really naive girl, in her teens for sure she did not had many makes out to compare to this one, so the  Sheldon's "body lauguage" is kind of mood here...She just know that in the middle of a kiss, her boyfriend thinks to a superhero...Of course she now needs a break!

 

What will happen next? Well, I will be very disappointed if (both, actually) the cliffhangers will last for the first couple of episodes and then everything works out just fine (as happened this season....), I hope that this time Writers will be more carefull and actually have a deeper insight in their characters, I know this is a comedy and not a drama but, afterall, they carried the drama in TBBT, so now they have to menage it! I only hope that no third persons will be introduced to mess up (more that this???) the situation, this will be something that really would disappoint me...

[mothandfire]

It's still hard to get my thoughts together, but a question just hit me and I want to drop it here.

 

How far do you think Amy would like to step back from their relationship？in terms of deducting times of getting along or reducing the level of intimacy？
 

Either way they must have to start from talk this out, and It will be more than fun to see that this time It's Sheldon who's bargaining over physical contact with Amy.
 

[LeaGold]

You know I was really considering waiting until the finale to do a fan vid of Shamy with the song by Dashboard confessional "stolen" the upbeat version from their music video. But now, maybe I should wait until s9? Idk haha

I think she probably just means she wants space from him, hence why she was not picking up his calls. So I assume it means not seeing each other for a while. I honestly can't logically envision a scenario where they're not miserable without each other. I mean, for us, the audience, is very clear where Sheldon's head is at now, and what he wants. So I can't imagine he will bounce back from this easily. And Amy seemed heartbroken too, so I can't picture her bouncing off as quickly either. They might just both dive into work to forget about it. Honestly though, there's a part of me who hopes this is a "To be continued" episode, that will pick up where it left off from.

[phantagrae]

I do wonder how they'll get back into it--I mean, will they meet somewhere neutral, like at work, or will they meet at a restaurant on their own, or will she call him up when she's ready to talk?

 

Dunno.

 

I mean, part of me can see Sheldon wanting to go over to her place and pester her with some kind of make-up gift, but that would probably only make things worse, especially if his idea of a make-up gift is a box-set of Dr. Who episodes or something.

 

I don't think he'd try to smooth things over with the proposal, but maybe he would try to see her on their next regular date night and try to get the conversation going.

 

There are so many ways to go with this, but I wonder how serious the writers will go with it, or if they'll play it for laughs.

I guess it also depends on how much time they want to have gone by between the finale and the opener.

I mean, will 3 or 4 months have gone by (to stay with the real world calendar) or will it be more or less a day or two, especially with Leonard and Penny's trip to Vegas.

 

With L/P eloping to Vegas, it makes more sense for the opener to either follow within days of the finale--they get to Vegas, we see them there about to go through with it, but then change their minds and head back.  Or they could just have the opener take place 3 months later and L/P still aren't married, but never told anyone they went to Vegas in the first place (was Sheldon in the room when they decided to go?)

 

I wonder if Sheldon will start to flip out again if he and Amy don't see each other or speak for a few months.  I don't know if there are enough cats in the world...

[Little Miss Purple]

I really really really know in my head that the writers have wonderful things planned for them but the stomach kinda dropped when I read it.

But the great thing about this is just think of all the GREAT FANFICTION that will be written because of this cliffhanger.

GO WRITE WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?????

Here,I wrote one

https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11202346/1/The-Poker-Game-Agreement

 

Shameless self-promotion

[kerrycec03]

I think he will actually be mature and give her space as she requested....but eagerly try and find out what she is up to from their social circle (this all depends on Lenny and where they are at when they return).  This actually has a lot of comedy potential.

 

They will both be miserable without each other (but might not want the other one knowing how bad they are) and for some reason they will be forced to be at the same place (a party, an event, something that will drive them together).  It will be painfully awkward but once that is overcome, he will slowly start working his way back into her life and making her #1. 

 

I hope this arc lasts no longer than Nov sweeps....With the big make-up/make-out occurring just for that time.

 

 

And then from there boom!  Because with the break he won't just be frustrated on the emotional front.....seems like he was and is close to making this physical....

 

But if Lenny come back a little awkward themselves we may see a few episodes of girl plot and then guy plots to stretch it out a little bit.

[Boonaroma]

It's possible that Sheldon will call Penny and Leonard back himself if he starts to spiral. And Amy would probably at least text Penny. Would they really elope when all the Shamy drama is going on back home? It doesn't seem in character.

Now that I read this, WOAAAAAH!!!! I don't know if I should feel this way since I didn't saw the scene and I don't really know how he said this line, BUT MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD! That totally sounds like he might be ready to have coitus with her, I don't know, sounds sexy, sounds hot, sounds interesting, and even more so because it's Sheldon. Who would've thought that he would ever say that to a girl while making out with her???? BUUUUUUUUT, also, it's Sheldon and I think what he meant is that he was thinking about the Flash, trains, dark matter, quantum physics and so many other things.

 

Also, he thinks what he's doing with Amy is FOREPLAY! Now, it's just not a possibility or something he hasn't ruled out, it's going to happen. He wants to make love to Amy but he's not ready yet. Amy just got tired of waiting. 

 

This might be the 594755849248 time I post here after the taping, but I'd like to point out that they still have THE RELATIONSHIP AGREEMENT!!!!! They didn't sign anything to confirm they're breaking up, THERE'S NO BREAK UP!!!! IT'S NOT OFFICIAL!

 

So, based on the kinda things the writers like to do with this show, it's safe to say that Sheldon and Amy are, well, going back together (even they're not breaking up) as soon as the season begins.

 

 

 

 

Well, too much drama for me now, I'm just going to focus on the hot shamy make out session that's going be mindblowing.
