Tonstar17 Posted February 12, 2017 Posted February 12, 2017 To what episode are you referring here?In the latest TR he did tell leonard that they were both honest with each other 100%, as of the last two episodes. Obviously that's not true and as Amy wasn't there he is speaking for both of them.Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last TR was pretty vague and he just told Leonard that he and Amy are honest with each other - which is coming right after the episode where they talked about their issues and decided to be more honest and trusting with each other. So you're having a problem with the show keeping in line with continuity here?? Alright, whatever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont remember the tr where they it was said they promise to be honest with each other. And the latest tr specifically said sheldon told leonard that they were always honest with each other.

I just thought what Sheldon told his mother was funny because they weren't living in sin. Well, hardly, anyway. Or do Shamy think New Yorkers copulate only once a year ? I am confused wondering what Amy actually tipped off Mary about, unless Amy thought the situation was about to change. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

serenaded214 Posted February 13, 2017 Posted February 13, 2017 According to "dry", "legal" logic this could be correct, but the thing here is more about social norms and coventions. Telling best friends is not like telling strangers, and this ia not a thing one should tell the lunch lady or colleagues (who are not their close friends). This is a weak area for Sheldon, he has social difficulties (his high IQ is irrelevant in here, you don't have to have a good understading of social dynamics to score high on intelligence tests) . I think it wouldn't be surprising at all if something like that happened in season 4. IMO, the problem is that we have seen Sheldon beeing more discrete about sex (e.g., next to Lenny on "The Birthday Syncronity"), so it feels a little off.How does this kind of thing even come up in discussion? "I'll take the green jello. By the way, my girlfriend and I only have sex once a year." I just don't see WHY Sheldon would feel the need to share such details.Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good for you. And if we all avoided hypocrisy, whatever our faith was, and obeyed all the teachings of its founder, we wouldn't need one. I liked that Mary conceded that there were 'special circumstances' for Shamy living together out of wedlock (even though she didn't know the 'in sin' part was hardly necessary ) despite the snarky reason she gave. Sheldon knew his mother wasn't as scrupulous as she should be about this sort of thing in her own life and she hadn't married the fellow Bible classer whose 'perfect booty' had led her into temptation. Only Howard,so far as we've been shown, among the gang knows about that. I bet Mary, who appears to make up her own religion as she goes along, never for a moment reflected over the sloppy joes how she'd strayed herself. If she'd said to Shamy what she'd said to Penny about being 'married in the eyes of the Lord' we'd have had none of Sheldon's shenanigans and she'd still have wrong-footed him. I hope we see Mary again this season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps he is even able to transfer it to other people, so he won't discuss his and Amy's sex life in front of Amy (half-check - apart from comments that it took them hours). But nowhere does it say that it is inappropriate to discuss his and Amy's sex life in front of others. Oh wait, what about that NDA he wrote himself?

Irene Posted February 13, 2017 Posted February 13, 2017 Exactly. Not talking about someone else's sex life in front of said person(s) isn't the same as not discussing your own sex life in front of others. As for how the lunch lady was told? If she mentioned something about birthdays, or an activity she does once a year ("I was away last week as my husband and I were visiting the grandkids, something we do once a year") or any other aspect tangentially related to Shamy's once a year sex, I can see Sheldon replying with a comment about his sex life. He's attempting to better connect with people socially/emotionally, and this would be his attempt at doing so, replying in a way he thought was connected to the conversation. Wasn't it Penny who once praised him with a response like "That was almost on topic. I'm going to say 'good job' Sheldon"? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exact details are sketchy but I believed they were all now very close to getting a tenured position should positions become available again. As they work in different departments or fields, maybe as soon as a position becomes available they will likely get it? Not a storyline I would revisit again some day and I hope the writers don't for obvious reasons. I don't think there is any risk of TPTB ever revisiting tenure again. I'm pretty sure (now) that they did the tenure story just for the situations that arose at that moment and the laughs they got then. If we were going by anything close to reality, the matter of who received tenure would have been done for a long time, whether it was one of the guys or somebody else. The only one of the guys who would probably haven't gotten it would have been Sheldon because of his change of field of study. But... TBBT isn't very based in reality anymore, so if it pleased the writers I'm sure they wouldn't have a problem giving tenure to Cinnamon. 20 hours ago, April said: Same. I mean, Sheldon has his ways to induce all sorts of topics into conversations so if any of the characters would be able to mention their sex life to the lady in the cafeteria I can easily believe it would be him. But still... Even if it happened in the most accidental way Amy is rightfully angry. Talking about that to the cafeteria lady is indeed inexcusable.

You might want to take a look at the definition of hypocrisy. Hypocrisy is defined as saying or feeling one thing and doing another. 10 hours ago, Irene said: Wasn't it Penny who once praised him with a response like "That was almost on topic.

Sheldon: You know, speaking of attorneys, if I ever needed a lawyer, I would not hire She-Hulk. Penny: You know what? That was almost on topic. I’m gonna say good job, Sheldon.
