[Spoilers] Discussion Topic: Season 9

[3ku11]

I'm more worried about who Leonard thinks should be kissing whom. Is all the stuff with Penny just a sham? Leonard, be true to yourself, man! There is no shame. Be who you must be, damnit!

Ahem...

I'm sure he'll be fine. Whatever. It worked out for Kerouac, didn't it?

i.think.we deserve penny dreaming about kissing leonard. This is the true love story.of the show damnit.

I think we must wait the episodes and see it!I think that this Break up can help sheldon and amy to have a strong and better relationship in the future because before the break up the things aren t better:amy must pray to have affections from sheldon and this after 5 years is unaccetable!

She doesn't have to pray for affections. They had kissed multiple times since season seven and made out in season eight finale. If she hadn't broken up with him, he would have probably proposed to her within days.

And I'm glad that Lenny has reconciled, but was the Shenny scene really necessary? The jokes keep getting dumber and dumber.

[koops]

Are people from this forum actually attacking the producers? Or is it random non-members? Because the other problem is that even if the spoilers are on this forum, it doesn't stop "externals" to access them and then go to TPTB with complaints/insults/praise. Unless we make the forum locked to members only (we have that on TXF boards). In any case it's incredibly stupid to go to TPTB before the episode airs. I can't even imagine why someone might think it's a good idea! *facepalm*

[mirs1]

Those people simply don't understand that doing so the only thing they can get is the spoilers will end or at least it will be harder and harder to have them...Some changes have already be done for the tickets, they can make other changes in other aspects. Seriously, the cast has no control over the script, and the writers are not going to change their plans over few angry posts...What are you doing, guys????

I'm all for making this a members only forum and locking it to lurkers.  If you want to read, you'll have to join.  And if your caught bitching or whatever to the cast / producers / tptb, about the latest taping, you get kicked out and banned for the rest of the season!  

Anyone else like this idea?  Tripper?  Tensor?  What do you guys think about seriously doing this?  Shenny HQ is limited and private to an extent.  Why can't this one be under the circumstances?

We actually had that with old Penny.  Remember the episode she dated Stuart, they were making out and he said 'Oh Penny' and she said 'Oh Leonard' she was definitely dreaming of Leonard then.

[Soopysue]

I think the only way we can get through this, is by the time it airs the TR is out where they get back together after an honest and mature talk.

" Like " I've run out of them for today !!

Leonard had the dream

But did he wake up screaming like he did when Sheldon split in two after eating too much Thai food?

We talked about this last season after a similar incident where somebody was anger tweeting the producers/cast (they knew someone at a taping, so it wasn't something they read here or on FF). Ultimately making the whole forum or this particular board member only just doesn't add much protection. People can very easily sign up (they already do to access chat) and once people are signed up, there's nothing to stop people sharing on other websites or tumblr.

There was a period where the whole forum wouldn't show to guests (not because of this, just to drive engagement) and we just got a lot of inactive accounts as a result.

It is possible to go further than just closing this forum off to guests, but I think that's more problematic. We could make it so you need at least three approved posts (this is the same requirement for the chat), but that just seems unfair when many people's first three posts are in this board. Outside of that we could limit it to people with [x] posts, but I think it would be worse if it seemed that any information which people are able to pick up is only being shared for the benefit of a small group of people.

As for banning people based on incidents outside the forum, that's not in the rules right now and would be hard to enforce. I don't think in many cases we would be able to link a profile to an account here.

I love this forum. I respect and look forward to all opinions. 

The thought that others would spoil what we have hear is so sad. 

Under no circumstances should tbtb or actors be tagged.

Can someone give more details about the kiss scene ... I am really excited

I haven't really posted in a while for various reasons but I just wanted to say this.  I am and will always be grateful for those who give us spoilers and practically put themselves on the line for it.  Not only in terms of potentially getting banned from seeing the show but I'm sure some of the anger of their "reports" gets taken out on them as if they wrote it.

As regards to the show, to me it seems that maybe a little of the mojo has left the building.  It started in Season 8 and the hiatus has not helped.  I get the feeling that they are trying to make it more of a dramedy and they don't quite know how to do that.  I agree that the plot lines seems to be almost ridiculous I hate to say.  I really hope it plays better when the episode comes out.

I'm not a fan of angst for the sake of having angst and I think that is what the writers are doing.  But they don't know how to follow through with the swing.  Why paint Leonard a cheater and then just "poof" it away?  Makes no sense.  Why have a Shenny kiss for no reason whatsoever than to cater to a certain fan base.  Oh for the days when writers/producers couldn't get instant access to fan reaction and dared to go with their vision.  I hated the HIMYM finale but at least they stood by their convictions.

As for Shamy, while not that invested in it, I can understand the frustration.  We all know that Sheldon needs to evolve and that could be painful but I'm not sure these writers know how to do that in a logical manner...

I absolutely agree with your last phrase.I am not a fan of Shamy (because I don't like Amy) and I am not even sure whether Sheldon needs to evolve as some people never change to be honest,but it is obvious that the writers really want to make him evolve and they don't know how.Sometimes I feel that they,themselves,are confused with this particular character they have created.My opinion is that if they can't make him evolve properly they should let him be,he could be his old self during they final seasons and admit that the whole relationship thing was an experiment that failed,remaining the old Sheldon we loved.But if they knew how to write him well,he could be extraordinary.I have faith in that character,he is still my favourite in the show,I just hope the writers have some thinking on him.

I was thinking about the mitosis dream also.

[pisquenta]

I like how Leonard kissing another girl, confessing two years later on their wedding day, and then fantasizing about his wife making out with his best friend seems to be the solution to all Lenny problems.

 

Maybe Sheldon dreaming about Amy with Raj will get the same effect.

It may make more sense after actually seeing the episode.

I really hope so, because the first two episodes of season 9, right now, just leave me feeling empty.

[ShLe94]

Hello everybody! I'm here to share my opinion on the first 2 episodes with you  I'm glad TBBT is back, but I have literally no idea what the writers are trying to do. I'll wait until the episodes air to judge, of course, but at this point I'm a little confused. As a Lenny shipper, I hope that TPTB will fix their situation once and for all and give them the opportunity to be happy, finally. They deserve it after 8 years of love and struggle! It seems that the writers are heading that way, but who knows. As a Shamy shipper, Idk what to expect. Maybe they need some angst, maybe not, but what if Molaro & co. decide to keep on exploring the possible further implications of this breakup? It might be either very good or very bad... Omg, my head is exploding already! I'm sure our Shamy will be fine eventually, but probably we'll have to wait... Now, the Shenny makeout scene: it definitely will be hard to watch, but I have a feeling that, once aired, it might turn out to be funnier than we expect, as we know it's a dream sequence... Nevertheless, writers, please do not do something like that again! Anyway, I'm trying to stay positive and still hoping for the best  JMO

P.S. Sorry for any mistakes, English is not my native language!

Let it be someone good. Stunt cast Captain Awesome from Chuck. He and Mayim seemed to have good chemistry this summer.

If we must.

To be honest, I don't think the problem is about them not being able to let Sheldon evolve. They've done so very well on multiple occasions. The problem is that they like to stall, backtrack and drag things out. They won't let go of the stuff they are comfortable writing, so they resort to the same old dynamics, with Sheldon being a stubborn jerk just so that in that way they have an excuse not to move things forward. I don't think it's a matter of not having a direction or not being able to do it, I think it's an issue of not wanting to let go of safe formulas that they know how to write. And I'm not even talking about Shamy/Sheldon per se here (although I am sure that is part of the equation), I think keeping Leonard and Sheldon together is an even bigger obstacle for them right now. Having married Leonard off, if things were peachy with Shamy, there would be nothing stopping Leonard from moving his with his freaking wife. I wouldn't be surprised if the next however many episodes are all about Leonard wanting to move in with Penny and not being able to because either he/they feel sorry for Sheldon or because Sheldon now is lonely and clinging to him. And that will piss off the Lenny fans all over again.
