Chrismo Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 Sympathy for some of the Lenny complaints. We get excited, people mock. Makes one disinclined to feel sorry for the mockers./quote]i can try to help you with the mocking that you feel Shamy fans get. I have been reading over the last few pages on this thread since Tuesday's taping title "The Intimacy Acceleration" was announced. Here our some quotes that I've read: 1. Shut your @$$ 2. I'm just internally screaming right now. 3. I think I may pass out 4. OMG 5. It's happening 6. I need oxygen 7. Excuse me while I have a freak out moment 8. I'm trying to stay calm 9 Oh Oprah, help. I better get my affairs in order 10, pleeeeeease As 3k pointed out earlier Shamy fans instantly think it's about Shamy. IMO in your"excitement" it appears to look presumptuous. That may be why you see the "mocking". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantagrae Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 I don't think that having a musical episode has to be a jump-the-shark moment. I think it depends on how clever it is and what motivates it. I didn't see the episode, but I remember that Buffy The Vampire Slayer did one because everyone was under some kind of spell or curse, as I recall, that caused everyone to sing. Now, with a realistic show like TBBT, that wouldn't work, and I'm not sure how such a thing would work on TBBT. That said, I think it's fun that they have had some singing on the show in a very funny and fitting way--Sheldon singing "To Life!", Howard singing to Bernie at the Cheesecake Factory and then again for their anniversary, all of them singing in the Penny Blossom episode. So, I think it could work, especially if each character was singing their own song, maybe to themselves, and not singing some traditional "everybody sing!" kind of moment. I'm not pulling for or against it, but I don't think it's necessarily out of the realm of possibility. Whatever they do, it has to be funny first.

Feel free to assume it's about Lenny and swoon away, if you want. Nobody is stopping you. No amount of excitement among one group can keep you from getting excited if you want to. But, of course, if you'd rather use such an announcement as an excuse to mock others, then that says more about you (collective you) than it does about those who choose to get excited.

I don't think this is one instance though. Everytime a title comes out and infers any form of intimacy. You have a Hoard of Shamies over reacting to every single tibit of information. And seeing 90% of the fans on this site seem to be Shamy fans and/or Jim Parsons or Mayim Balik fans thats perfectly understandable. But it creates a divide. So I do see Chrismos Point of View.

But that wasn't the point. We are over reacting - obviously. Question is, why someone have the need to ridicule someone's excitation on any event. Because it made him feel all grown up? feel better about himself? or just joy of mock ? We are watching show about characters being bullied and mocked, and feel sorry for them, and than, we are doing the same to each other...

phantagrae Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 Actually yours was my favorite The problem is you have your own thread to do that if you don't want any commentary. I didn't mock anyone in that post. I was just quoting what was said earlier. It's an episode title. Anyone can get excited over an episode title if they want to and it has nothing to do with going off to "your own thread" to do it. If Lenny fans can lament their perceived "lack of Lenny" or whatever other complaint they have regarding an episode or the show or whatever in this thread, then Shamy fans can get excited in this thread. If there was some kind of rule about keeping ship excitement to a ship thread, I'm sure we would have heard about it by now. There has been plenty of discussion in the Shamy thread about the possibilities and likelihood, or lack thereof, in regard to the possible implications of this title. But if the title is announced in this thread, then the excitement about the title is going to happen in this thread--and it's ALLOWED. It's the mocking that really isn't allowed. It's not opinion about an episode or anything like that. It's simply ridicule of other posters, individually or collectively. I know that it's been going both ways these days, but if you're going to sit there and talk about Shamy's having to keep their excitement in their own thread, then you ought to apply it to yourself and keep the Lenny complaining to your own thread as well. In either case, I think some degree of both aspects of the discussion is indeed allowed here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You tend to see that reacton from Shamies ALOT lol. Not saying theirs anything wrong with that. But anyway. Their does seem to be a divide going on between Shamy and Lenny. In the show too.

starsamaria Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 I've been reading this forum for a year before I joined, so my opinion is that of a former outsider's. To sum it up: Shamy fans complain when Lenny fans are too negative, Lenny fans complain when Shamy fans are too positive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Difference of opinion is one thing--everyone has their own perspective and different things they want or value in the show--it's when some (not necessarily you, though you have seemed to have been joining in) feel the need to be negative towards others over something as simple as excitement. Something seems like it's going to be fun, but no one is allowed to get excited about it without being made fun of. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To sum it up: Shamy fans complain when Lenny fans are too negative, Lenny fans complain when Shamy fans are too positive. I kinda agree. But not neccessarily on Shamy being positive. They can be positive all they want. I guess it kinda hijacks the thread sometimes. Like it has become their entire centric perspective. I mean if it was related to Lenny sure I would be excited. But you woulden't be seeing 10 comments of OMG OMG, it has to be Lenny!! I think some are either way to positive, or way to negative. So theirs a disparity going on here, and like I said a difference of opinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had times when I've spent most of my time in the Shamy folder and come back here to find pages of griping about Sheldon and complaining about the lack of Lenny and nothing but negativity about the show. I think that the prevailing winds of this thread in particular depend on who is leading the conversation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tallin Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 i didn't mock anyone. why do you have the need to overreact? I didn't named you, why did you have the need to react? How is anyone mocking anyone here. I haven't seen anyone being mean. Its just people have a difference of opinion thats all. Other's opinions of someone else's feelings, doesn't have much validity or sense, just my view... But I'm so not in the mood to continue this argument so back to the topic.

Tensor Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 Obviously no one has mocked anyone. If there was, everyone would have reported that, right? So, all, quit accusing anyone of mocking. If you see what you think is mocking, or anything else against the rules, report it, don't answer it. Is that clear enough? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATOB Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 Well, we've had Howard's song to Bernie, a musical number with all the gang involved, and we've had Raj's Bollywood Bernie fantasy number, so rather than the whole episode being musical, perhaps it's just one song again?

Chrismo Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 You know what amazes me, everyone is wrapped up around a sarcastic remark I made about Sheldon stealing Leonard's work, to defend their favorite character, while not even considering the main point of what I said. The plot was not about Leonard and Sheldon doing work together, it was about having Sheldon in conflict with Hawking, another Sheldon centered plot. Leonard was just there as a support character because in season 8, Leonard has been regulated to be Sheldon's minion. I don't think it was a Sheldon centered plot but it could of been A Leonard centered plot for a change. Leonard could of done the work himself. Or at least just had Sheldon do the math but instead having Sheldon piggyback on Leonard's idea. I guess since Sheldon's career in eight seasons has sort of been a bust. howard went into space, Leonard went to the North Sea, and Raj was on People magazine. Sheldon's north pole was a waste of time, he received an award at a banquet hall which He picked on the audience, got drunk and took off his pants. His experience with Hawking was the game on the computer and the paper he gave him with the incorrect math. not sure why Leonard would want him to do the math. maybe that's why Hawking was ripping on the paper he knew it was from Sheldon.

TBH Sheldon is really terrible at his job lol. For all his IQ, he hasen't really applied to anything. The show has gone to great lenghts to pointing out Sheldon is a genius in his own mind. Sheldon's a smart cookie don't get me wrong. But I remember in S1 that Asian Kid beat him haha. It would be nice if Leonard got full credit. I mean Sheldon did give one of his papers to Hawkings before. So maybe your right haha. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
