I don't think they will break up after this point, Sheldon is so attached to Amy emotionally now. He's embracing change this season but I don't think he can make such a huge change in his life by breaking up with Amy, he just can't handle that. so they will keep down Shamy probably, not with a break up but maybe like they're doing with Lenny, they'll have different storylines.

 

Sheldon is all over the place even in this taping report. He was trying to ruin Christmas but events did not go the way he expected. He is almost like Mr. Magoo except his blindness is to the way others react emotionally. God help him when he actually attempts to make Amy happy.

Thanks to everyone for the great taping report and the BTS stuff.  So happy that Kazzie got to have that moment with Bill, how awesome was that!

 

Gotta read the taping report a few more dozen times before I can put together a coherent thought.

 

Me....last night

I'm not a fan of this classic sitcom solution for "let's do things interesting." That's so common way to mix things up, I not really find that fitting for Shamy. There are so many exciting ways to make drama without break up. And as puremorning said, they are so emotionally attached to each other now, it would be very heartbreaking , hurtful time for them if writers would want to make that IC, and that's not something, sitcom is really going for I think.

But would you stop watching the show?

After the lengths the writers have gone to show how much Sheldon has grown emotionally, it would make absolutely zero sense to break them up. What would the point be? It would serve no purpose.

 

That said, as I said in the Shamy thread, I think they will be on the back burner until the end of the season so the writers can focus on other plots.

I tend to agree.

I really think that Shamy coitus is going to happen in the Season 8 finale, or at least that we're going to be left to think that it happened.  Hence why we're getting all the necessary underpinnings to make that plausible now, after which, like you said, other plots (Lenny, guys/girls, etc.) will take precedence.

I probably wouldn't stop watching because I'm so caught up in all the characters at this point, but I would be pretty displeased.  As tallin said, it would take some pretty heartbreaking stuff to happen for an IC break-up, in my opinion, and even then I think it would be a stretch for it to happen at all.  Sheldon and Amy aren't a typical sitcom couple, which is part of what I love about them.  If we were going to make a graph of the progress of their relationship, it would be a pretty steady incline (albeit with a very gentle slope), marked with several 'blips' showing their minor setbacks but always returning to the same upward course.

I do foresee (and actually look forward to) an argument or conflict of some kind coming up, since there has been an inordinate amount of Shamy goodness lately.  But I think that this couple has the rapport in place to work through whatever comes their way, just as they always have.

The writers can break Shamy up if they want. Are people going to stop watching the show if it happens? Emotionally he has grown but still has a long way to go. In the last episode he was sitting in Santa's lap. Penny's career is looking better than his. If one of the guys make some discovery or got a promotion how would he react? With his career at seemingly an all time low anything negative could cause him to think Amy was the problem. I don't think there going to break up but I could see the writers writing it in a way that it could happen.

Those pictures are something. In one, Bernadette looks like she is going to cry. One looks like Leonard just got done pumping weights. And in a couple Penny looks good in that outfit at the party.

jeez yes, leonard was looking pretty hunky. I don't know why they were letting us see him without his hoody,he's not supposed to be that hot. He had a scene with just a t-shirt in Clean Room too. I think the person in charge of costuming likes looking at him

He just started over in his career. Dropping string theory and picking up dark matter. How can he wonder why there's no progress in his career when he just started something new? Please think before you guys go into panic mode and freak out over nothing!!

we are just discussing possible scenarios :) I would say he's still scared about his career, not really feeling stable in this very important aspect of his life, so I can see how major success of Leonard, or anyone else could cause him to think about himself. I don't see Sheldon as very patient person, even when his career just stared over, I  see him wanting to have some results as soon as possible. But that's just "what if" scenario, I believe that will not happen.

Possibly bad news for us Americans....instead of watching BBT tomorrow at 8pm, the President just announced that he'll be talking about the immigration bill he wants congress to pass. When? Thursday at 8pm. Aaahhhh!!! I swear to cow I will end up needing a new TV if he interrupts my BBT show!!!

It is an interesting point about Leonard. He has been shown to be much more career-focused this season more than ever, and especially in The Champagne Reflection, they did end up using the joke that when they open the bottle of champagne to celebrate their biggest achievement, the best part would be rubbing it in Sheldon's face. I do think that were headed toward some kind of major accomplishment for Leonard, and a major setback for Sheldon. Sheldon does seem to be more relationship-focus this season, whereas Leonard is on the career path, at least so far for this half of the season. I wonder if this trend will continue for the second half of the season, or if we will finally get some Lenny wedding planning.
