What is stupid is both your minds went there, when nothing was said to imply that he wasn't a US citizen. For your information I was thinking state flags. For what it's worth, I thought your comment was funny. People overreact over everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJistheBOMB Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 (edited) 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 That was me trying to keep my eyes open and read everyone's responses after 1 in the morning. Haha. Dead on.

kimbee73 Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 I don't really see a breakup for Shamy at this point. I get the feeling that the writers are kind of pressing Sheldon and Amy forward a bit so that they can be more or less where the others are emotionally--to have Sheldon admit that he's in love, which puts them on a more even footing than when he was saying things like, "I go back and forth on this boyfriend/girlfriend thing..." They may not be physically intimate, but if he's willing to admit out loud to others that he loves her (not just that he's "very fond"), then I think that enables the writers to do more couple-y things and to make them more of an equal team, to get away from Amy always having to drop hints, etc.. She's let Sheldon off the hook as far as intimacy goes, even though she's still hopeful, but having given him the breathing room that he needs, he's now able to take a step forward emotionally. I think that in order to achieve that and give it its due, they've had to have other stories for the other characters. And since they're still not planning to rush into the Lenny wedding too soon, it makes sense to focus on work stuff for both Leonard and Penny. So we see Leonard working on whatever, we see Penny learning the ropes at her new job, and so forth. I don't think it necessarily means that Leonard's going to surpass Sheldon or that Sheldon is going to have a breakdown or meltdown over his career. Just because we haven't seen him at work doesn't mean he's not working. We don't see him brushing his teeth every night, but that doesn't mean he's not doing it. Anyway, I don't think that whatever conflicts Sheldon and Amy may have in the future are going to be of the break-up-worthy variety. They'll always have a bit of conflict when it comes to things like hobbies, or perhaps emtions, but I think he's past the point of blaming her for distracting him from his work. I don't need to see relationship stuff between them every week, at least not "big step" stuff. I don't even need to see kissing to know they're in a good place (same thing for all the couples). I think that they've hit a certain level now and the writers can tell a variety of stories about all kinds of things. I do wonder if they're going to address Mrs. Wolowitz after the holidays and take a week or two to have some serious moments. I think it would be appropriate and it would give Simon a chance to show some range like he did with the episode about his dad's letter. And even Sheldon could relate because of the death of his father. I wonder if they'd let him get serious for a moment in an episode like that. Anyway, I'm not worried about break-ups or kissing or careers. I'm still just enjoying the ride. I don't think this could be said any better.

fitzsimmons Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 The two main couples Shamy and Lenny are currently in very good places in their relationships Yet the Lenny fans are unhappy and I don't get why? Lenny are in the best place they have been and are very happy I think primarily because, in a holiday episode which should have featured some couple scenes, Leonard and Penny's only real scene together was a phone call, unless you count them sitting next to each other at dinner. Overall, they are in a good place, but it's a bummer that they seemed to be overlooked at Christmastime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itwasdestined Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 The two main couples Shamy and Lenny are currently in very good places in their relationships Yet the Lenny fans are unhappy and I don't get why? Lenny are in the best place they have been and are very happy Its a combination of: - Desperately wanting Lenny to kiss in season 8 and expecting a Christmas episode to deliver on that-others have - Yet another rehashing of the great Raj betrayal of season 4 - episodes that lack interaction between their ship - an overly critical perception that the writers are marginalizing the endgame couple in favour of focusing all the attention on Shamy - worrying about a paradigm shift in their relationship from forever kissing each other to suddenly just hugging and handholding, regardless of how happy they actually are. - impatiently waiting for some full on exciting wedding talk rather than mature conversations about money issues and getting married I think that covers everything. It's a bit like how I couldn't quite come to terms with the over the top outpouring of grief and disappointment Shamies felt at the end of Season 7. I guess Shippers feel what opposing shippers don't see. It shall pass. ( btw this is not a dig at either group of shippers. That's not my thing ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes we've been there and know how much it hurts when you have something amped up and then it's left flat. All I can tell you is I think that the 2nd half will bring more for the Lenny relationship. But note that I agree it's not a competition and I wouldn't question another ships feelings if they are slighted because you care for the characters/plots so much, you want it to all work out.

notchinc Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Why was Leonard working on Christmas Eve? Is he working harder??

It's not unheard of In the US we don't get the holiday time off I know some overseas get.

They just don't know what do to with him, so he's just "there" most of the time. I mean, how many Leonard plotlines are there in S8? Like... none?

Lenny are in the best place they have been and are very happy I can see why Lenny fans would be irked that Shamy have such a sweet Christmas episode, while Leonard is off chasing a pigeon and Penny is answering questions about her hookup with Raj for the umpteenth time - I mean I am sure the pigeon scenes are funny and I am glad Raj's father is coming for a visit, but it would have been nice for Lenny to get some Christmas cheer too, like both couples did in the Prom episode - overall I think that Lenny is engaged now and they don't want to break them up again, but they also don't want to rush the wedding with still two and a half seasons left, so they are kind of stuck in neutral.

Without her that kind of took away the couples part. Basically Raj's father was a replacement for Emily. To me the Shamy moment for a Lenny fan wasn't that big a deal. Seeing the episode might change my view though. Unlike the Prom episode which could have been better for Lenny this episode doesn't bother me. In this case I could picture in my mind them doing something in private. The hook up comment to me was totally for Raj's father benefit. I agree with you by the end of the season that more wedding talk will come up. As you pointed out there is 2.5 years left in the show and that's still 60+ episodes left. The Lenny moments will come.

Tomasina Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Still, I'd like a family member or coworker to point out that they aren't making any wedding plans yet and ask what's going on. They're going to make us wait so long I want to hear someone on screen bug them about what the hold up is. Penny's abs have made it clear by now she isn't pregnant.
