Ship Zone [Spoilers] Shamy: Season 9

I agree. 

It's not so much the kiss that gets me.   It's the way he moistened his lips in anticipation of tasting hers.   Its about the way when he made up his mind, he just grabbed her lower back and pulled her as close to him as he could.   It's about the way he pulled away after the first kiss and swallowed, caught between wanting to remain and feeling the need to be polite and leave her to her date.     It is about the way Amy pulled him back and he so eagerly made his kissy face before reaching her lips and then threw his arm around her neck.   Sheldon twists his head and molds himself into her.   It's all the arm, hand, and finger movement, especially when it encompasses her beautiful hair.  It's about how they are so wrapped up in each other.  Just thinking about how Sheldon's cotton-covered back must have felt to Amy's hand, how good Sheldon must have smelled, how close they were together....   

It's not lust or wild open mouth French kissing. .   It's all about how much he misses and loves her and staking his claim to Amy in front of his competion, as if there ever really was.    For Amy, it's the discovery that she is indeed loved and wanted by Sheldon, and feeling physically for the first time just how much.

Their purple and green reminds me of a bundle of grapes just waiting to be enjoyed with a lovely glass of wine.

Excuse me while I go grab my glass and some cheese as I continue with my viewing enjoyment...

1000 % agree!

The first SIK was quite close, but now that Amy replies to Sheldon by turning her arms around him as well, it becomes even more intimate and close.

The first SIK caught her totally by surprise, because Sheldon had never done something like this before. But the more kisses they had, the more Amy opened. And not only Amy. Just compare the kisses in season 8 and 9. First their arms kept where they were and now, they are not only moving, but even caressing each other.  After the break up, both realized how much they missed each other, so it was no wonder, that once their lips met, they lost all their reservation and just let their feelings take control over them. I love their evolution!! My heart dances!

I don´t know, how you feel, but everytime I see another milestone in Shamy history I feel like I´m walking on the moon, I´m dancing, singing out loud and I even catch myself humming "Darlin" from time to time. I feel like I´m in love too, in love with Shamy (I know this sounds awkward, but that´s how I feel, it freaks me out, sometimes, because I know they are not real, but I can´t do nothing against it and to be honest I don´t want to, because it´s my way to appreciate MaJim´s great acting, the atmosphere they create that infects us all with Shamy love).

I ran out of likes again I´m sorry!

Also: if you spend enough time in tumblr in the Shamy section someone (can't remember who) reports that their unspoilt hubbie comments that (having watched the make up) Sheldon performs the DPM (dick press move) which amongst blokes is recognised as a manoeuvre which clearly indicates he wants to take things further. I think this manoeuvre has a more clinical name too but I can't remember that so apologises for the description above. I try not to be too fanciful with what I'm watching in sitcoms but i reckon that first kiss has a bit of that going on. Now if the theories about rehearsing carefully are true and that's deliberate, it's possibly a clue to Sheldons physical intentions to the unspoiled. I don't want to start up the does he desire her debate again as I think we have done that very thoroughly and I can hear the groans. But the 'is it all a bit quick' after the reconciliation question is answered perhaps. I have to say that I was slightly concerned the comsumation might seem a bit sudden but I'm increasingly coming round to the idea that Sheldon was definitely on that page by 8:24 so he's actually picking up where he left off. However we didn't see them kiss all season 8 apart from the end of a kiss in 8:24; not much progress. So although Sheldon was planning to propose and had settled in his mind that he was ready for sex, suddenly doing it from more or less a standing start seemed a bit unbelievable.  

I'm not sure this has necessarily been bugging many others but I was struggling to see how these particular characters would physically be in a good place to make the next step as it was looking like a massive leap.  No wonder the unspoilt are a little bewildered! Lol 

However the writing and acting nuances have so got this covered. I love this show!!

So has anyone else watched an equivalent of 24 hours worth of the Shamy scenes and gifs over and over? Send help. LMAO!

Anyway, sorry to help rain on this particular parade as well but I do not believe there was any open mouth action here. It was definitely VERY WELL implied by the way Jim sort dug his lips into her face and moved his head. Haha. Sorry, hard to explain but I think most of us can agree that it was sexy as hell.

I also think that over time, their make out sessions will evolve into something more intense now that they're physical. I can wait to see their journey from here.

 

 

Maybe we should just stick to the fact it was a SIK & it was hot as fuck  I'm still totally jel of Mayim. Jim's lips are perfect.

Haha!!! That is me and my hubby! He was unspoiled and totalky predicted them getting back together. But yes he was shocked that Sheldon did as he so eleganly called it "the dick press move" and declared coitus was on the horizon!

and also: I don't think we've talked enough about hot the first kiss is... i'm in love with how he pushes her into his body when he grabs her, and then in the 2nd gif he tries to push her in close AGAIN, but she's as close to his body as possible so the back of her cardigan just lifts a little bit lol

 

This kiss. The way he moves his arm in the second gif and bends his knees.. can't.

Had to run some errands so jlove beat me to the punch a bit but whatever, this way I'll just make some extra effort and talk a bit more about when Sheldon shows up at the door...

Obligatory: And another thing...!

I love how this whole situation wasn't framed as Sheldon winning over Dave or whatever. This isn't a moment of triumph over a romantic rival. In fact the show goes out of its way to tell us that Dave is really not the issue here. Amy just sees him as a rebound, and even Dave himself is shown to be the most harmless puppy who isn't really making any serious attempts to "claim" Amy for himself. He barely manages to kiss her - and even that was just because he was so excited that finally someone likes his tie pin. lol Even more so, the moment Sheldon shows up at the door he's literally taking himself out of the picture and when he pops back into the scene it's only as an audience surrogate to help Sheldon. So in result at no point Sheldon has to step up his game to win Amy back over Dave, or be territorial over her, or having to claim her, or whatever. The moment he shows up that battle (if one could even call it that) has already been won. If anything one could argue the writers made it too easy for him here. But then again that isn't the point at all of how this scene plays out, IMHO.

When Sheldon sees that Amy is on a date he isn't jealous or angry or territorial at all. Those were all reactions we've seen in him in the past - be it with Stewart, or Leonard, or even whatever suitor he imagines in 9x01 when he accuses her of wanting that notch in her bed post. What I see in his reaction towards Dave is for the most part being surprised of him (HIM of all people! the guy who kissed Amy!) being here, and a bit confusion as to Dave's reaction. Dave should be a romantic rival but he refuses to be one and instead helps Sheldon's case and immediately steps back. What I also see is that Sheldon is a bit mortified and unsure because it is such an emotionally vulnerable moment for him when he realises what he stumbled into. In the past he has not only struggled with admitting his true feelings to Amy but even more so to having a scene like this play out in front of other people.

But what I think this moment ultimately is about is indeed Sheldon being in such an emotionally vulnerable position and still going through with this. This whole breakup was an immensely humbling experience for him. And when he stands in front of Amy trying to tell her how he feels and that he wants to be her boyfriend again, I don't see a trace of his usual arrogance or confidence. Instead he's nervous, he's struggling to find the right things to say and even stumbling over his words. He looks a bit frightened at the prospect that he may have already messed this up. But he has to be a bit brave here. Courage isn't just a matter of not being frightened, you know. It's being afraid and doing what you have to do anyway. And he does. It's the culmination of his character arc this season that he finally gets over himself and commits to this relationship completely. Without any doubts or reservations or cheap tricks or whatever else he may have tried in the past. All that Amy wants is him and that is what he's finally willing to give.

 Yes, they rehearsed and rehearse and rehearse to this all week, with the director right there. I don't think anything actually happened during the taping took anyone by surprise, but if it was meant to look like it, Sheldon taking Amy by surprise, then  that is what they rehearsed, and filmed.

you'd be surprised what happens with theres an audience there its crazy. Things get 1,000x more intense!

To be honest, my weekend is going to consist of watching these gifs over and over again (even though I should be doing my homework) until I eventually spontaneously combust. I am going to be a whole puddle of goo by the time the next episode airs, (isn't everybody?)

Stephen Merchant is 6'7"... Jim is 6'2".  So only a 5" difference in height.  Also when Jim, as Sheldon is kissing Amy he bends his knees, so he appears shorter.

Mayim is 5'4" but in the scene she is wearing heels, so she appears taller.  Also the way that scene is staged....Dave is always behind or next to Amy, emphasizing the height difference.

Mayim is 10" shorter than Jim and 15" shorter than Stephen.  Between looking up at her scene partners and rehearsing the make out scenes, poor Mayim must of had a stiff neck by the end of the week.  LOL.

Really? Just because people don't agree with you?  

I agree with you and @2L344 that Amy would have been open to a physical relationship with Dave, her conversation with Bernie indicated that BUT I disagree that after 5 years with Sheldon, Amy's obvious hang ups about physical intimacy (which pre-date her relationship with Sheldon)not to mention the factor that she was a virgin - that she would have slept with him that night. 

Maybe further down the line but she's not gonna go from realising that she was still in love with Sheldon flaws and all to bedding a guy she barely knows in one night. The best way to get over someone is to get under someone  but not if it's your first time

I have to say, I don't think there were any deliberate hints in the kissing scene that sex was on the horizon.  I only say that because Jim and Mayim hadn't seen the next week's script until after this scene was filmed.  Still, I don't want to ruin anyone's fun who sees foreshadowing.  Maybe the director knew and asked them to play it that way.

I'm so torn on my feelings about this. I think she wanted to get those V plates gone and if it meant sleeping with a stranger, she'd have done it. Remember we're thinking shes opting for second best with Dave, they could have stayed together for years. In a sense Dave & Amy would have done the reverse of Sheldon & Amy - they'd have slept together first then been together years. She was acting out of desperation on all levels with Dave I think. And to a certain extent, he was too. Perfect fit. I just don't get that she'd be that dumb & ignore that subconcious voice in the back of her head telling her that sleeping with Dave wouldn't have been a good idea & that she still loves Sheldon.

Bottom line, I think she'd have got as far as the bedroom with Dave, then realised she was being silly

I don't think that just because Jim and Mayim didn't expect it to happen right in the next episode it was never implied the relationship would go that way soon. I do think the people that definitely knew, meaning the writers, surely added a scene description about what they wanted. They are always very deliberate with their choices when it comes to intimacy between Sheldon and Amy. So while they probably didn't write that Shamy will do the dance with no pants the very next week, I have not doubt that they wrote in some explicit directions that it's time for them to get more physical and passionate with their kissing.

[Pebbles123]

I'm sorta in the same position Amy was in----was in a relationship with someone I really liked but it ended 6 months ago.  I'm not over him but he doesn't want to try again.  My inclination is to move on with someone else even though I'm not over the first guy;  unlike Amy I have no Dave waiting in the wings though.  And that's a good thing---because I can't even imagine kissing anyone else until I get over the ex.  I understand Amy wanting to move on and Dave likes her so there is that;  but I just don't see her being able to go through with anything more than a kiss.    To me she is going along with a kiss but she really isn't wanting it the way she wants the kisses she ultimately gets with Sheldon.  Just my opinion based on my own situation......unless the writers tell us otherwise, I don't think we will ever really know.

Yes, I read that too, it was so funny!  I think her unspoiled husband said "Hey, he did the dick press move, I bet they're going to have coitus this season!"

i honestly laughed out loud when I read that, not having ever heard the term DPM before.  Loved that as a guy that's what he thought though, especially knowing where next week goes!
