This Sheldon is alien to us. Not in the spirit of SG-1 but still alien. If Sheldon is Sheldon, he is at best , called an inconsiderate ass, and at worst a monster/villain. On the other hand, if Sheldon makes attempts to be nice or caring or considerate, he is suddenly "alien" and OOC. So basically Sheldon can't win either way, can he ? As for Sheldon getting less screentime, I would love if, Sheldon has more of a supporting / background role because I think historically, Jim Parsons can be quite funny as an observer, to other characters' drama/comedy like in The Agreement Dissection with Amy and Penny. But since I never disliked Sheldon or Amy, i think i would still enjoy the show if Sheldon , Amy or Shamy always get more screen time, lol.

I doubt if the writers even remember that. If the fortune teller is proved right or not, I guess we will have to see when the show ends, this May or next year (if renewed).

Not from SpoilerTV...the Spoiler TV site tends to take other publications works/pictures and brand them as their own, they also tend to be lax in appropriately crediting the original source and often fail to provide links back to the original source. The original article/picture from Entertainment Weekly was posted on this thread by @luminous this past Thursday.

3ku11 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 What I want is a non inconsistent Sheldon. I'm sorry it's not critiquing the guy no matter what he does. It's just because he's become self aware. You would expect his behaviour to be a bit more consistent now. But it's not. But yeah Sheldon getting isint getting less screen time Haha. Lack of balance is the major issue in the show for me ATM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tensor Posted January 23, 2017 Author Share Posted January 23, 2017 It's possible. There could be a couple of reasons. One, either I or Tripper didn't see it, and it wasn't reported. Or, it was an original by Spoiler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheldon wants to be a arrogant jackass fine. He wants to be courteous to others fine. But it's hard to rely on it. When the writing of his character is so inconsistent. So it's not the fact he has changed since season 4. It's the fact it's not reliable anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At first you say it's not the change and in the very next sentence you say the change is not reliable. What? I really don't know what you're trying to say. What exactly is not reliable (to you)?

Jonny Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 (edited) Each week goes by I see them introducing potential storylines that lay the groundwork for if this is indeed the last season. Then I see the ratings that are still very good in the current tv viewing climate, dominating its competition and then you hear the actors and the execs saying they want to do more seasons. Kind of a strange feeling really, thinking they can't possibly end the show as there is just too much going for it right now and yet the storylines are preparing us for it being a major possibility. It must be so hard for the writers, having to work in a 'we must start wrapping this up story mode' and yet there is still hope for more seasons.

My biggest fear as viewer and fan is if they decided to cancel the show when the tapings left might be 5 or 6 and suddenly everything ends without those stories about each character were not wrapped nicely or they were rushed to end. It would be so unfair the memory of the show be so good for years and then had the worst ending ever. I really hope all people involved avoid this posssibility with all their strenght.

It's not either/or...The answer is more complicated than that. It can be both of these and/or none. Whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
