I take surprise to be something rushed or quick or sudden. Maybe the writers will actually plan out a wedding this time on the show, there could be a shit ton of material from something like that. I would be perfectly happy to see an engagement for a while and the various storylines that would raise when they try to plan out a wedding.

In terms of Season 10, two weddings in one season (well a re-do and a wedding)? I don't see it.

Maybe Molaro assumes that there is going to be a Season 11?

What else are they going to do in season 10 ? I think Shamy has the most stories left to tell, out of all the couples right now. They need to atleast answer some questions about the proposal, ring or if they'll get married.

I think 2 weddings can happen in 1 season. Season 9 premiere was Lenny wedding and season finale is a re-do.

If anyone watched Friends, Ross married Emily in London at the  season 5 premiere and Ross married Rachel in Vegas in the finale.LOL.  As long as the weddings are far apart in time, it really doesn't matter. Not that I'm expecting a Shamy wedding soon.

Given the writers pace with this couple, if there are 11 seasons, I predict a Shamy wedding on S11:E24! = )

About the S9 Discussion Thread:  Ok, I admit it....am fully involved in that convo.  I still like Shamy and am rooting for them, but I used to love LOVE them so much.  This season kind of dampened that for me, and I was expressing that.  I still want to see Shamy happy, I just would love the return of the cerebral couple I once knew (with a bit of fluff thrown in).

They also have Howardette's baby story-line which is going to dominate the season a lot, then you have ugh potentially Raj's harem which wasn't really resolved this season. I don't think the Season 9 finale is the Lenny re-do, from what I gather this is a pre-wedding meal or something so it looks like their wedding re-do will happen in Season 10.

I agree there is a lot of storylines still to be had from Shamy. We may not get a wedding in Season 10 but I think an engagement has to happen or at least be discussed again. I don't think they can just put it out there and the whole plot just disappears, not something as big as that.

I really hope not. I would like to see a glimpse into their married life, if the series ends on them getting married and then some cheesy flash forward scene that explains what happens afterwards to their lives I would be pissed.

I get where you come from, and one of the things I vented about early this season is the break up (whether necessary or not--I continue to believe it wasn't, but it's not my story to tell) had forever changed how I view Shamy in older episodes just a bit. Not that it changes the context in what the shows mean, but rather my attachment to them emotionally. 

When I see the prom episode, or Fort, or Herb Garden, instead of thinking "awwww" I think instead "cute but just wait for what lies ahead"....silly, since it aint all bad considering some of the stuff after reconciliation, but nonetheless thats how I feel. I still love those episodes mind you, but they lost a little bit of their luster for me. That 9 episode break up arc, and scenes of sadness and also (in my opinion) some indifferent and mean behavior by both A and S, kind of tainted what I used to think were the perfect couple, and I havent shaken that despite all that weve seen this year. And for me thats a little sad. And I understand it isnt a sentiment others may share, which is okay too.

BUT, Im trying to rethink things and see a different "bigger picture" with what the writers have given us in S9, and Im hoping S10 fills in some of the pieces of that puzzle as we get another season closer to the end of this show. And while Im amused at some of the stuff on DT while sharing some of their opinions too, I hope viewers can temper the criticisms with some hope too. No one is wrong for voicing their opinions and concerns, and I would never presume to change those opinions or say they are wrong, but I do hope for those viewers that they can see some positives enough in TBBT to enjoy it rather than have it be a source of constant frustration and disappoment. Life's too short!

I enjoy your posts over there

 

[nibbler747]

Great post  @2L344.  I totally agree with you.  I really enjoyed all those episodes you mentioned, they were special classic Shamy moments for me.  I haven't given up hope on this couple, and I really hope that the writers can get to a good place with them again.  I'd like to see the return of sharp and clever Sheldon, happy and quirky Amy.  They are a couple I tune in to see.  Sheldon behaving like a child, and Amy rolling her eyes is not appealing to me.

Fingers crossed to the return of the couple enjoying each other and fun group episodes. = )

But lets face it, that thread can be darkly amusing. I get some of the frustrations and share them from time to time, and did my share of complaining too both in the DT and Shamy thread (ie, the first 9 episodes of this season lol). But some of the mantra is sooo down on the show I dont get why they care to continue watching it. 

To each their own I suppose. Maybe my optimism, despite some valid criticisms of some of the episodes that people are airing, will prove to be naive once S10 starts. But its better than stewing all summer long about the disappointments....last summer sucked lol

They're very entertaining, I agree. I don't share their frustrations but I totally understand that other people have them and can express them if they want to. When you don't like something, you just  don't like it and that's it. What I don't get is this constant vehemency and absolute dismissal and even hatred that I get from some posts about the show in general and Shamy as a couple or apart. I find  it unnecessary (especially in a fan forum) and personally, I would have left before I reached that state.

I hope not. I really hope they'll get engaged in s10 and married in early s11.

Just to clarify, I have no problem with your posts. I may not agree with them but I like your approach. It's the tone of some other people's posts that I'm referring above.

I don't mind the occasional childlike enthusiasm cause as a wise man once said, there's no point in being grown up if you can't be childish sometimes. But I rather have them be childish and giddy together over some silly game or whatever than being pitted against each other in some way. Big Bear was great in that regard in both the opening and tag scenes. Just look at this dork:

There's currently a debate about how Amy and Sheldon don't love each other anymore (basically "Sheldon doesn't love Amy!" - "No, Amy doesn't love Sheldon!!") 

  Post edited.  That's why we have shipping threads such as this one.  If people want to talk about those things, or have those opinions, they can.  If people don't want to talk bout those things, or read those opinions they can come here.

A nice tidbit from Molaro's interview: his highlight of the season is Opening Night Excitation! (or the Star Wars episode as he called it lol).

Vonmar posted the interview in the discussion thread.

something tells me ill be breaking the blurays out and start with 1x1 lol

I got hooked on GOT lately and got a ship there and I kinda transferred my obsession from Shamy there , so I think I'll be fine till the end of June (not that my ship is happening this season : ( ). But then once GOT ends in the end of June, the biggest withdrawl from both TBBT and GOT will probably finally hit me =(.

So I'll probably be doing the same as you!

Love GOT...I watch on Sundays along with Penny Dreadful And Fear the Walking Dead lol. With that kind of Sunday line up I have to break up all the violence with TBBT!

I've got a busy summer ahead, going to New York next month with lovely boyfriend for my 40th birthday, then I will be catching up with bones as I haven't seen any of season 11 yet and most likely rewatching all the shamy episodes from the season 3 final to now

Nothing major revealed really, but why would he when the suspense of the unknown keeps people glued to their tv's.

Still think we will get an engagement in Season 10, maybe not that early. Molaro says that Shamy are in a really good place right now which I probably agree with, just hope the writers can show that more to the viewers.

 

[April]

Yeah, the Glamour interview didn't reveal anything new as such but it still manages to reassure me for the summer hiatus. We know they're planning 10x01 to pick up where 9x24 ends so we won't have an instant big time skip which is a relief with regards to so many of the story lines that are still unresolved. So now with this interview from Jessica Radloff I think she's asking the right questions (and some are rather cleverly worded like the one about how scared the writers are to change the status quo "even if it makes sense" LOL get him, gurl! haha) and I also like his answers even though we get a lot of "there are no plans for that" phrases (but as I already noted in the S9 thread that doesn't have to mean much since he said the same thing about all of the big plot points this season that then came into fruition only a few episodes later). I like when he admits that they're scared of big changes, not that this is a surprise for us, but then also notes how this is a good thing cause it means that they still care and want to get it right for the audience. And I believe him even though they may not always hit the right notes for us here.

So my takeaway from this is that the living arrangements are very much on their agenda but they haven't settled on a storyline, yet. I think they'll try to figure out how to solve this over the summer and maybe how to slot in the next Shamy milestone as well. Depending on what they ultimately decide S10 could hold some really great developments for us - even early on!

My wife and I are doing NY for the first time next month too! 25th Anniversary. Enjoy your trip!

[Judith]

I'm 100% sure (ok, almost, just because you never know) that there will be a Shamy engagement in s10.

Just the fact that he mentioned living arrangements at all means that it must be somewhere on the horizon. Maybe at the end of s10?

I still think though that there are other things they need to deal with first (*ahem*). They better not fuck this up.

[Jonny]

Well I have a few more episodes to watch 'fully' still, Solder Excursion is showing here tonight in the UK so that will kill a few more weeks . Looking forward to seeing the Shamy scenes again and in better quality.

Honestly I don't see how they can drag out the engagement that much longer, it's out there and and as each week passes the media is going to ask why hasn't it happened yet. In a way an engagement wouldn't need to change that much anyway in the short-term if the writers are indeed worried about it affecting part of the show dynamic. Living arrangements is a far bigger concern for the writers I would think.

I was wondering about how hot it would be in June, if it's not too hot then great, otherwise I will just be a big sweaty mess!

The "heat" of NY is August.  That's unbearable (especially in the city with like the horrible humidity).  But June its like in the 75-85 degree range.

Not much Shamy in this, but I love love love how Mary looks at Amy.  She loves her.  It's so cute.   Not the best finale, but certainly not the worst.
