[Spoilers] Season 9-10 Hiatus Thread

[3ku11]

I like Shamy. But I agree I kinda prefered Sheldon when he was observing. I mean at least then yeah he doesen't know any better, but at least theirs an excuse he is innocent. After all these years, he has had ample oppurtunity to learn about social conduct, and human relationships. But as time goes on he still only prioritizes him self. He has got better. But not enough for me. I just don't buy that premise anymore. So I agree he just doesent want too. I liked that Sheldon was not conforming to socitiies rules and conventions. Now he has ahd coitus with a women, I don't know he is no different to Joey :D.

Nobody called you an idiot except yourself.  He only said he doesn't get it either.  One reason being, you never bothered to explain it yourself when I asked you directly.  I just got a snide condescending remark that it was obvious.

I was merely trying to understand your analogy because it doesn't make sense to me.  And yes, I do understand how a right triangle works.  To me the hypotenuse is in a sense the addition of the other two sides.  Using that logic, then their child would be the hypotenuse because it's a combination of them both and  has a tie to both  sides which are already bonded to each other.

If you were going for the fact that Leonard is a common tie between them, then using a triangle where all three sides touch anyways didn't make sense to me.  That is where I was coming from.

I didn't get the hypotenuse analogy either even after explained. If we are using triangle analogies I think a better one would be saying that Leonard is the base of an equilateral triangle in which all sides are equal (3 equal sides= 3 individuals) but the only one which "supports" the other 2 sides is the base, therefore Leonard.

[3ku11]

Honestly my point was a Triangle has 3 sides. Both Sheldon and Penny are both sides of the triangle, and Leonard is the base. And both Sheldon and Penny are vying for hyponotenuse. The whole triangle. I mean go to the s3 dvd, it says it on the back. "Sheldon and Penny hilarousley vying for the role of hypnotenuse". Don't agree with my analogy, fine not a big deal.

That's kinda the definition of a triangle.  Not sure why that would be your point.

But, just because two sides (Sheldon and Penny) of a triangle are equal, doesn't make the other side the longest (which means somehow Leonard is greater than Sheldon or Penny).  If Leonard is the same as the other two, then there can't be a hypotenuse.

Vying for the role of the hypotenuse?  That would mean either Sheldon or Penny were trying to be the hypotenuse.  Just because it's on back of a DVD box, doesn't mean it was used correctly.

No problem.  But if you have several people who didn't understand your analogy, it may be the problem of the analogy. 

BTW, if you have a problem with the way someone writes a post, report it.  Don't comment on another posters posting style.

Ugh don't remind me she once had short hair. 

I think that is everyone post S6 who isin't Sheldon/Jim .

Have you also noticed that is when a lot of people have said the show started to lose its magic.  Before anyone gets mad, I'm not inferring that Parsons is ruining the show, what I'm saying it the show became a hit when it was an ensemble show, so with the writers now putting the emphasis on one character they are changing the formula that originally made it a hit.  Therefore it makes sense to me that people who have been into this show from the beginning would not appreciate the change and would want the ensemble back.

There is another thing about TBBT that Friends was never as good with, TBBT has a more interesting story to tell in following these nerd's lives that makes us invested in the characters.  I think that is why the sudden lack of continuity in the last few seasons has bothered us all so much.

Anyway this is all IMHO.

Actually, in this case, I think it's looking for a lock for his key, not the other way around.

He wasn't originally a candidate.

Would we honestly still be watching, if everyone else had a SO, and Sheldon was still on his own?

Without Amy, I think he'd just be a sad, lonely man, and that wouldn't be funny at all.

Neither, to albeit a lesser degree, does Amy, and that's what makes them so adorkable (I love that word  ), but that's the Shamy way.

Given the analogy concerns a Right Angled Triangle, it kinda does.

If it has a hypotenuse, then it must be a right angled triangle. Surely Leonard should be the shortest side then, not the base!

Put the hypotenuse on the table and it can be the base. What's more, if the base angles are both 45 degrees the other two sides can be equal.

But that would make Leonard greater than both Sheldon and Penny.  That's why I didn't get the analogy and disagree with it.

That's because you doing the easy boring stuff, try Differential Geometry.

I starting to wonder if this summer is worse than last year at least last summer we had something to discuss

I am waiting for leaks about contract negotiations, they have to be talking by now if they run out next year....

They don't run out till the end of the season I think.

Good point Stewie99. A triangle with a hypotenuse is a special case of a right angle triangle.

It seems to me that a relationship involving three people is often referred to as a triangle. Not necessarily a right angle triangle. In fact I think I more typically have imagined an equilateral triangle. I guess that is why the hypotenuse reference just seemed odd to me.

True but with the money machine in danger of stoping I would be very suprised if they wait for the current contracts to end. They need to know one way or the other asap whether it is the last season or not if nothing else for story purposes so waiting is really counter productive

But they need to decide soon, if there's going to be another season, so they can write the next season accordingly.

I don't think you can really wing the end of a show.

[Tensor]

The contracts for the last renewal weren't signed until a few days after they were supposed to start production.  If they hadn't worked it out, there would have no ending, just Sheldon riding a train off into the sunrise, with Lenny engaged, Howardette married and Raj alone.

I would think the beginning of the year would proceed with the assumption that there will be, at least, a season 11.  If it's not working by the first of the year, start wrapping things up.

I agree here djsurrey. I can't understand why people would suggest a "triangular relationship" to be a right-angled triangle. The whole point of a "triangular relationship" is that it's three people involved in the relationship equally- therefore all the sides and angles of the triangle used to represent it are equal.

...and if thy are not all equal there are still many possibilities that don't include a right angle triangle. With Sheldon involved one might expect an obtuse triangle.
