Mario D. Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 It has always been implied from the pilot episode that Penny and Leonard would eventually end up together and married. Even Kaley herself admitted that she wanted them to end up married. How they got there was a long 10 year journey. But it now seems as some have suggested that their journey is complete now that they are married. I believe they still have plenty of stories to tell for this couple. It is true that the cliche "he wore me down" has become a tired joke. It would be nice if the writers have Penny compliment her husband a little and not make it sound so snarky, but from the heart. I don't think Penny has settled for Leonard as her love for him built up over the years. I think her love is genuine because from their first date she wanted someone who was nice, honest and really cares for her. Leonard fits all those traits. I do believe, going forward they should definitely have them interact more with each other as a married couple: for example show a little more intimacy as newlyweds. They had more intimacy scenes when they were dating than now as a married couple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tensor Posted October 29, 2016 Author Share Posted October 29, 2016 Let's get off of discussing how another member posts. And keep it on the show. Comparisons of different ships should go into the Shipping Lanes thread. Which is where a few posts have been sent, and any further posts on this matter will go, if not hidden.

It seems so, and I hope it's true and nothing to do with that bump on the head. A friend came round this evening and we binge-watched episodes 2 to 6. She said, 'There's something wrong with Sheldon. He's behaving as though there's nothing wrong with him.' The length of his speech to Stuart while sounding like a normal person she found particularly worrying. That's worrying me, too.

The length of his speech to Stuart while sounding like a normal person she found particularly worrying. That's worrying me, too. Yeah I am with you. Was watching 2 weeks ago. And my mum was like is Sheldon Joey Tribianni now? Hahahhah. I don't know the thing with Sheldon is he was inherently aware of the fact he was smarter then everything else. He always pertained, to be like a Cat on its toes. Now it feels they have normalized him. Like knocking on Penny's door, it was all part of his quirks. Now suddenly find out it was because of some repressed psychological memory. That's not funny, and that is not qurky, it is just disturbing. Now latest taping, hearing stuff Sheldon and Rose Petals. Is he now Ted Moseby? LOL. I am sorry I know it translates differently to tv. But if this all matches up, I am not liking this new Sheldon. I guess it is what Amy wanted, a normal, sane boyfriend. But is it worth compromising the most unique tv character in history? Nope. I don't like that Sheldon has become the protagonist too. That used to be Leonard's job. But it is what it is.

The length of his speech to Stuart while sounding like a normal person she found particularly worrying. That's worrying me, too. Honestly, what bump on his head are you even talking about the whole time? The one from 10x03? That was nothing to worry about. Sheldon has been gradually changing for years with the S9 breakup being a bit of a catalyst that taught him to embrace his emotions and his relationship with Amy. Everything else follows that development pretty naturally so I'm utterly confused about your worries. But if you want a bit more of an explanation than "character development" how about this: Maybe Sheldon is on an oxytocin high now that he's snuggling with Amy every night - it's often called the "cuddling hormone" after all. It's also called the "bonding" and "love" hormone cause among other things it increases the desire to bond with your partner but also be more social in general, it makes you more empathic and trusting, and it reduces anxieties and stress, and thus causes you to be rather relaxed. Mayim could probably give a better lecture on that but there you go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 (edited) I always thought there would be a speeding up at some point from 'glacial' to a 'turning it up to eleven'. If you were just looking at it from a real life this is a show perspective then obviously this could be be the last season, so why not go all out? It's not that OOC, he has been with her for a long time now and has shown steady progression in their relationship over these years but obviously it's turning more rapid now. If you were looking at it from a characters perspective I think it's just a combination of so many things. Like @April said primarily the breakup changing Sheldon more than perhaps even we realised and certainly Amy must be now thinking that. Amy is probably right now feeling a mixture of emotions and feelings from being happy to also being shocked and not sure how to process this Sheldon 2.0. I am sure once she gets used to it more then she will be more than happy, he is turning into the boyfriend she has always dreamed he would be but also still keeping a lot of the quirks, shared interests and the intellectual prowess that made her fall in love with him in the first place. @April also mentioned hormonal changes being in close proximity to her all the time, he has a kind of intoxication effect going on like he is drunk but he's drunk with love. He clearly has urges and desires going on a lot right now, some new and some not that easily suppressed now by his Kolinahr wall. He just looks so happy, like he knows what they are doing is right and he wants it to happen. I don't think Sheldon has abandoned the principles of Homeostasis completely, but in a way Amy and being with her is becoming his new Homeostasis and he is embracing that. This new improved Homeostasis clearly isn't as rigid or restrictive as the old one he was in, he is open to new ideas and new experiences. At the end of the day it's just love, he's madly in love with her and all those factors lead to that. Edited October 30, 2016 by Jonny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The seats were more comfortable than our living room chairs. You could also fold down the rear seat into a double-bed. The E-250 and E-350 versions were generally used as delivery vehicles, or by plumbers/mechanics/carpenters as their shops on wheels. They could also be configured to be small school buses or to transport the elderly or handicapped. i would not expect a van to hold ten people without confirming it in advance. A minivan does hold seven people, but without the extra head and legroom that we had in our full-sized van. Minivans may not have the towing capacity that a full-sized van has. Minivans replaced stationwagons as the vehicle of choice for young families. Sounds like what we would call ' people carriers' or for the large ones, 'minibuses'.

Mayim could probably give a better lecture on that but there you go! I like that idea much more than delayed concussion. Thank you. He's been changing, maturing as we all do I suppose, but he seemed to take steps back in 9/24 and 10/01. I can't see the hyper Sheldon of 10/01,10/02 and 10/03 in the one of 10/06. But all he needed was a month's worth of cuddles all the time. Da-am Amy. You go girl ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And In 10x06 he was still very much himself with the way he shot her idea down at first, or how he framed the brunch as an experimental trial run, or how he was insensitive to Stuart, or how he had difficulties navigating the resulting awkwardness and leaning on Amy for help, not to mention the tag. He's still Sheldon, he's just, you know, happy and relaxed and open for new experiences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget Leonard all chained up in underpants! But that's besides the point. Sheldon has seen and heard more of Lenny's sex life than you can ever imagine - that's not a new experience for him. He's seen the sex tapes. LMAO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
