koops Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 Sheldon as an asshole is necessary to justify the breakup. That's the bottom line. There could have been 300 different scenarios to take that plot from the finale in but they are going with whatever provides the biggest justification for the split and for dragging out as long as possible and for giving Amy a reason to go out and look for another boyfriend. Three episodes in a row of hammering home the same point, something that has never happened before on a show where stuff gets wrapped up and swept under the carpet in a minute. It also makes me wonder whether there have been some major rewrites between CC and here because literally nothing adds up anymore. All that talk about Sheldon's growth and progress and we get three episodes of this. And I wonder what the reasoning behind this weird mismatch between interviews and episodes might be. But then again... why do I care! LOL! I am actually SHOCKED that I literally joked to the girls in chat last week saying "Can you imagine if they have a Shenny makeout dream in Leonard's dreams?" as in.. that would be the most absurd thing ever, and they actually went ahead and did just that. I always praised this show for never lowering itself to doing this kind of fanservice and yet they went ahead and did it. I guess 9 years in, ideas start running out, uh?Well, like I said, this is looking just like something that I have no interest in following anymore. I won't be watching any of the episodes until I hear Shamy are back together AND I'll only start watching again and catch up if they haven't completely destroyed them in the interim (which, given these eps, I'm not too hopeful about). But I definitely won't be investing time sitting and waiting for it to happen. This was never what I watched this show or pairing for, and I have no interest to start now.

tmp Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 Here's my take, FWIW (which isn't much). Sheldon is understandably upset, but he's reacting in an impatient and childish way. I think we fans can handle this breakup better than Sheldon is. We can give the relationship time to get back on track, and we can do it without tantrums.

Chaliceinnana Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 I won't be watching. I'll keep up with the taping reports and in the event there's an episode that sounds fun, I can watch it. The cold open is actually making me sick to my stomach. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lizzie_AR Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 I'm totally fine with the fact that Sheldon's going to behave like a child before anything else happens. I mean, they needed to break up to build things back up again, what really bothers me is that we'll get to see Sheldon having a hotter making out scene with Penny, not Amy. I don't wanna see Jim kissing Kaley. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I don't understand the Shenny kiss either. That's a lot harder to defend. I'm just pretending it didn't happen for now, since anything can happen in editing.

Trinabeana78 Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 For some reason, the sheldon/penny kiss is just making me laugh at this point. Like, really? It's so ridiculous, as the writers have stated they're like brother and sister or mother and son. Like Koops said, it's totally fan service and it's so obvious it's just laughable for me (right now). And I'm sure there'll be gifs all over tumblr but I have Shenny blocked on there so hopefully I won't even see it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mariel Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 Omg this is the worst that could have happened... i feel like im having a nightmare... This tells you how far the writers are willing to go for a "laugh"..... Shamy's been ruined for me.... Even if they get back it won't be the same...

madamocho Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 On a "good" note after he sends her a fun with flags link saying "this will make you mad" and she yells at Sheldon to stop posting videos comparing her genitals to parts of Czechoslovakia, he skips down the hall saying "She wants me!"

loriparis80 Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 When Shamy finally reconcile, I don't want to see any of their usual close mouthed kisses or sappy hugs. There better be hands all over the place open mouthed kisses darn it! I'm fired up people!! There's no way a Shenny kiss should have more passion than a Shamy kiss. Team Shamy!!!!Random thought...I have a feeling coitus may be this season...just saying. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soopysue Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 Wow !!Well they've gone for it all guns blazing !I honestly think this will be huge when it's resolved now, the writers have moved Sheldon on even before they are back together in my opinion. Let's face it breaking them down this much will mean stronger ShAmy once they're back and I don't see this lasting more than a few episodes more now - they have made so much drama they have to deal with straight away - no break from a few "funny" not related episodes I don't think. Wish they would hurry up though .....Do you think L and P will have a wee Wedding party - with Sheldon told - best behaviour etc with Amy ?? Could lead to calm talk when the realise how much they miss each other ?? I don't know but come on writers we've suffered enough now !!

phantagrae Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 The Shenny kiss has NOTHING to do with Sheldon's mindset or Penny's, either. It's totally on Leonard, maybe his idea of a nightmare, or whatever.if neither Penny nor Sheldon dreamed it, then it has nothing to do with either if them. Sheldon obviously isn't dreaming about kissing Penny and she isn't dreaming about kissing him. IMO, it's pretty much a joke for the audience and not meant to be a statement about Sheldon and Penny or their relationship to each other. I'm liking how this is playing out, with no simple fix for Sheldon and Amy. He doesn't know what it feels like to even have a serious spat, let alone a breakup. Being the egocentric romantically naive person that he is, with that angry nature when it comes to being crossed, it's not surprising that he's lashing out. Amy will be lucky if he doesn't pull out his sonic death ray. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a possibility along with many others, just one that I wouldn't be happy with. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

snow*flower Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 (edited) This whole situation with Sheldon makes me wonder if he realizes his own feelings like The Table Polarization.

stardustmelody Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 The kiss looked like Sheldon was trying to jump down Penny's throat. Penny's leg was on Sheldon's waist with Sheldon grabbing it.

loriparis80 Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 What impresses me is that Sheldon is really trying to fix this on his own. No RA, no cats, no calling Penny for help (yet), no Mommy saving him...he is trying to this solo and thats huge! Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkIt's growth, but he needs to call in the troops because he's failing miserably...hopefully we will see the rest of the gang in episode 3.
