Ship Zone [Spoilers] Shamy: Season 9

[A Shamy gal]

I think it depends on whether she is serious about the break-up, she doesn't appear to be serious about it, so I was just thinking she might use it to get out of a potential awkward situation and put off any 'date'.  The other thing they might do with Sheldon in stalker mode is have him follow her to make sure she abides with the RA, she sees him, they have a confrontation and during this the 'date' leaves.

 

[Desdemona]

Like I said, the only way I can accept Amy dating someone else is if it's ONE episode and she's coerced into it by someone else or set up. And she ends up acting like Sheldon all night and be totally turned off. But they've only been apart for 48 hours now, it would be ridiculous for her to want to date anyone else or for anyone to think it's a good idea to see her up so soon. And if there's a long enough time jump where they have been apart long enough for her to think about dating someone else it would put a huge damper on my enjoyment of the relationship or the character. I don't think it could be the same again.

I don´t see her dating someone after a long period of time, because this would mean that she´s starting to accept, that it´s over and is kind of giving up her relationship with Sheldon. When it happens it should be soon and it should be just to meet people to distract herself from the pain she´s feeling about having broken up with Sheldon. She could go out with Bert for example to geology fair, or go to a Neil Diamond concert with Howard and start to miss Sheldon, because he´s not around with her. It would be kinda bittersweet if she see´s someone wearing a Green Lantern shirt and is near to tears, because the image of Sheldon pops up in her mind and she starts to miss him badly.

I do find it curious that the RA still hasn't been mentioned. At. All. Idk if this is just me but after everything is said and done they could easily go down the route of "Well, we never signed the paperwork so technically we never broke up!" or something along those lines.

I am SO waiting for that as well.

Could she let him win her back in like 2 episodes and go just "Break-up? What break-up?  I don't recall signing anything of the sort in the RA" ????

Doesn't Bert still think she's a lesbian?

[Desdemona]

Doesn't Bert still think she's a lesbian?

This is why I thought, he would be perfect for a date, because he thinks she´s lesbian, so he wouldn´t do anything to get intimate with her.

Plus, he´s too shy to try to kiss her. He´s more the "silent admirer" type.

Well he didn't take the hint when she said a boyfriend, so thinking she's a lesbian wouldn't necessary stop him from trying something.

LOL! I would love this. And I actually think it would get Sheldon all swooning if she's saying it in a cheeky kind of way like she knew what she was doing all the time and she used their beloved bureaucracy on him. 

On a related note, I've started watching The Flash and so far (no offense to fans), I'm not really impressed at all. So I was thinking it would be funny if once they get back together they start watching it and then you see them sitting there going "This was SO not worth breaking up over." LOL! Too bad that since The Flash people are so complimentary to TBBT with all their homages and what not, I doubt TPTB will mock this show on theirs.

[Kathy2611]

NO!!!!  No dating for either of them!!  Good God it's only been a couple of days in BB time and I think this is why they've been focusing on Shamy (and Lenny) so much these first few eps so they can clear it up before jumping ahead in time and working on Rajily & Howardette.  For one thing, both of those couples are secondary to Shamy & Lenny.  And also, their stories can still work with a time jump. 

Am I making any sense or do I need another cup of coffee?

I had a thought that once they are back together they use watching The Flash as a code for something else and after a while one of the gang will remark that they're watching The Flash a hell of a lot lately.

Not necesarily, but as I said, I don´t see him as the shooting forward type, he´s too introverted and shy. And even if he tried, Amy would stop him before he could do any move, because she loves Sheldon.

No you're making good sense Kathy. I too would hate to see them dating other. It'd be a true betrayal to Shamy and I doubt the writers will actually go there. However I think I'd be all right with Koops' scenario.

Also I do hope they'll wrap up with this drama soon so that the other characters can get some meatier stories. I think they're almost done since Lenny have reconciled.

I just feel bad for Simon, Kunal and Melissa because they've not had a proper A-plot story in a long long time.

You are right, there are still good story lines for Simon, Kunal and Melissa. Especially Kunal´s story has not come to an end, I have a feeling that Emily won´t be his last girlfriend...

[Radar]

LOL! I just love all of the speculations going on and I don't know which one I would prefer to come true. Well the writers will probably come up with the perfect solution. I have complete faith in them and I'm prepared to sail the rough seas with them. Who knows, it might be great fun. At least that's what my husband always tells: When the sea sickness is gone you will enjoy this, trust me! ;-D

I doubt this is the case, but wouldn't it be interesting if when Sheldon drew up the RA he only included a termination clause for a Sheldon-initiated break-up because he could not imagine Amy ever wanting to break up with him. And due to that, he can't use the RA against her because he doesn't want to admit he didn't foresee this as a possibility.

It's often been stated that the RA is slanted in his favour, so it wouldn't surprise if he had done something like that.

[rachelshamyfan]

I just hope that the topic of Amy maybe dating is just a suggestion from Penny or Bernadette and Amy says something like "I'm not ready" or that she still wants Sheldon but just a little time away from him

 

Also didn't she shrug Stuart off when he tried to comfort her in the premiere?

I don't see Sheldon getting into another relationship with any other girl.EVER.

I don't see Amy shutting Sheldon out of her life even if she's really frustrated/mad at his Operation:Win Amy back. EVER.

[jenafan]

Sheldon being sexist... well having thought about it, sexist is probably the wrong way to describe it.  He has no filter and does say the wrong thing at the wrong time.  And I'd forgotten that he had said things about the time of month and urges to Penny before.  If you think about it, it's actually refreshing to see a male openly say things about stuff like time of the month, or as a male I know says the time when all men run away and hide.  Sheldon may be wrong to bring it up, but at least he's makes no secret that he's aware of such things instead of shying away from it.

I hadn't thought about it in that way, but that is a very good point your raise, which makes me like Sheldon even more despite his lack of filters.   The things he says sound harsh and inappropriate at times, but he really does mean well.   I feel the same way about the things he is saying to Amy now.   His intention is not to insult, it is just coming across that way, partially because of the way he is saying it and the timing of it all.     It doesn't help that he honestly believes he is right and has the higher ground on some things.   I'm not trying to excuse it, it is just his make up.

I wanted to add to my earlier post that sometimes I think Sheldon uses Amy's manipulating to his advantage (because he won't lie), like in the Table Polarization.   He never wanted to break up with her, but I think he knowingly used her reasoning to help him through his angst.   I mean, she was the one who suggested the location for the table at the beginning at the episode.   It is hard for me to believe he forgot about that when later she said she wouldn't stand there and let them bring a table in.   I think Sheldon knew she was manipulating him all along, but he let it happen because in the end, he won.    He got to keep his girlfriend and get rid of the table.   

They do make a good team.   Amy knows Sheldon enough to handle him when he goes off the unreasonable deep end, and Sheldon knows that she will guide him and his thinking to make him understand or help him get his way, by allowing her to manipulate him.  

What we are left with is them working through the need to establish an equalizing in their relationship where it is not heavily askewed in Sheldon's  favor.

[Arduina]

I'm pretty sure the RA is going to come back in the game as soon as they reconcille. Like Sheldon knocking on her door, getting rid of it and presenting her the marriage agreement

Won't the engagement agreement come first?

[koops]

I don't think the RA is skewed in Sheldon's favor. There's plenty of stuff on there that you could never imagine him coming up with on his own. Yes, he tries to find loopholes when he doesn't like something, but so does Amy at the end of the day. It's also clear nothing goes in the RA or is amended without both parties agreement (hence their committee meetings, lol). Actually, Amy has brought up the RA or used it to her advantage more often than Sheldon in the last couple of seasons. That's kind of what would be interesting about it not being brought up yet; if Amy were using the bureaucracy loopholes better than Sheldon because he's so desperate fixated on how to get her back he's not even thinking about the RA. He would find that so hot when he finds out how he was being fooled 

[Desdemona]

Won't the engagement agreement come first?

Maybe a marriage agreement including an engagement clause. Something like: Marriage will be take place after an engagement period of ........ months a/o years.

[jenafan]

Yes they could do that.  I find it strange the RA hasn't been mentioned either.  Sheldon is meticulous about everything, so I'm sure there's something in the RA that would cover major disagreements and fights.

Perhaps he has ignored it on purpose because he does not want her to sign it.   The breakup is on her end, and he refuses to accept it.   Kind of like someone contesting a divorce. 

[Desdemona]

Maybe finding out how he was fooled, turns him on.

Sheldon: You know, that you are a little vixxen, don´t you?

Amy grins.

Amy: I know. Do you want me to lean over your lap, so you can discipline me?

Now it´s Sheldon who grins but maleficent.

Sheldon: I have something else in mind.

Then he lifts her up, throws her over his shoulder, spanks her butt and carries her to his bedroom, while Amy smiles happily.

[loriparis80]

JMHO, I certainly don't want to see them dating other people. I feel like the writers can come up with a quirky, Shamy-style way to get them back together. I want tptb to think outside of the box.
