I wouldn't actually mind seeing some Amy Skype scenes at Princeton with some indication of her how work is going for a couple of episodes. Have Sheldon pottering in the background getting ready for his fiancee to return and give hopefully Lenny and Raj something interesting to start the season off.

This could go for one episode but I don't think they will have several like this and have apparently weeks/months jumps between episodes as they had in season 10. Obviously I would like to have more Lenny and Raj (provided they give them some IC stuff that move them forward) but I just don't think they will go with 3-4 episodes of Amy away.

I wouldn't be surprised if Penny in season 11 all of a sudden has a new job with no explanation what so ever. That's how the writers write Lenny.  

I was going for a surprise that would be explored but your suggestion is plausible.

A Lenny or Raj plot is long overdue but I highly doubt that will happen, the writers have clearly other things on their mind these days.

It seems to me Ramona in reality is a better match than Amy and she is in the same field. The only advantage Amy had is the gang knows her.

Go figure.

Actually the advantage Amy has is all the years she and Sheldon have shared over many years! Ramona had no chance.

The think that surprised me about s10 was that Sheldon didn't give advice to howerdette on how to raise the baby

Me too. I thought he was going to tell Bernie what Marie Curie did when her daughter was a baby.

I'm guessing that the Shamy wedding planning will be extensive in season 11. 

I really doubt it. This group of writers don't seem to do that.

Everything concerning Shamy is very well covered by the writers so I expect the wedding planning to be just the same and I'm wouldn't be surprised if the wedding itself will be over two episodes. Time will tell if I'm right or wrong.

They will. I'm convinced that it will be touted as 'A Big Bang Theory Event! So BIG it takes TWO EPISODES to fill!'

I'm not interested in watching wedding planning, ugg; TBBT typically avoids doing anything the conveniently. I'd be happy if there is a time jump and the next season starts after a time jump where they are married already. Perhaps they could flash back to a simple justice of the piece ceremony in the Princeton on campus chapel (just guessing there is one).

I'd imagine Mary would be happy to see Sheldon married.

I'd like to see them get married and some of the wedding planning like they did for Howardettes wedding

I expect to be in the minority on this based on history here. 

[jenafan]

One possible scenario I'd like to see is the gang and Mary fly out for a wedding at the beautiful Princeton campus.  Shamy have been together for 6 years.  They don't need another year to get married.

The only reason I see them dragging out the wedding planning is to finally introduce some of Amy's family, which would be quite welcome.

Also, if Sheldon stays at Princeton with Amy, this leaves more time in Pasadena to focus on Lenny.  Perhaps Sheldon will get involved in Amy's research or try for some more education.

[vonmar]

Because I love BTS stuff...

From what I can gather, Stage 20 on the Warner Bros. lot has a standing interior airplane set that multiple shows can make use of rather than build their own from scratch.  This is TBBT production crew posing on that set the day they pre-taped Sheldon's trip to Amy.

If you go back and look, it's the same set used in "The Mommy Observation" (7x18) when Sheldon and Howard fly to Texas.

why ? Sheldon's job at Caltech is just as important as Amy's job at Princeton. I don't think he should leave his job on a whim to stay in Princeton, just like I don't think Amy should leave her fellowship and come back to Pasadena . I think Sheldon should go back to Caltech, and in the early episodes of season 11, they can have him learn to live alone and interact more with Raj and Bernie. Lenny should be the ones to have their own plots in 4A. Perhaps some focus on Amy's work would be nice, via skype too. That is, if they intend on extending Amy's stay in Princeton for more episodes than just one .

What explanation? The kiss was Ramona's issue. Why stick around after Sheldon walks out? After the first hour she would know he was really gone.

Well the show may use her to tell Amy about the kiss.

Or maybe Sheldon tells Amy about the kiss.  Because they are pretty bluntly honest with each other.

This seems more likely to me.

Molaro already said in an interview that Sheldon is not the type to keep a secret and if Amy asks what happened he'll tell her. So I can easily see that happening.

Sheldon kissing Ramona is just another way for the writers to tell us how much greater Shamy is compared to Lenny. Sheldon will tell Amy right away  about the kiss, Leonard doesn't speak for two years, just great.

Will Ramona be around for 11.01?

Or will she just dusappear as with no explanation?

I would love for Raj to do her before she leaves, she was so snooty to him and his self esteem is so low, it would be funny if they woke up in bed the next morning after her going away party at the university.

Also did you ever notice the only one of the guys in the show that wakes up next morning with hookups is Raj.

1. He didn't kiss her, he was kissed. I didn't see anything in that scene that implied or apparent that he was getting into the kiss or reciprocating the gesture.

2. He might not tell her about the kiss. But I think the chances are higher that he will because Amy knows about Ramona, she knows she was trying to get close to him and will have witnesses in the rest of the gang. I would be shocked if she doesn't ask about Ramona.

I think the whole point of sending Amy to Princeton "for the summer" was to bypass having very many episodes with her actually gone. Yes, they can film Skype scenes like they did with Howard in space, but he was up there for weeks, not months, and 3 episodes was a realistic amount of time spent with him gone.

I imagine we will either see a flashback of what happened after Sheldon proposed or no time will have passed with a time jump soon to follow, but I'll be honest... both options sound weird. The flashback to the proposal sounds the most realistic and least confusing, but the picking up where we left off, I'm not sure. Will they just be on some major super-speed where 3 months pass in 3 episodes? The only way to bypass all of this is if Amy leaves Princeton, Sheldon stays in Princeton, or Sheldon visits her every weekend. There is no way they're going to limit Mayim's screen time to Skype sessions for 3 months worth of episodes.

My money is on a flashback to the proposal in present time. It gives them time to change the sets a little more, move things along for Raj, and work out a lot of details for all of the couples so the show returns a bit refreshed.

If he kissed or got kissed doesn't matter in this case , when the writers wants to show us that Shamy is so much better than Lenny.

I think it would be more interesting NOT to resolve it immediately. Maybe spend most of the ep with the rest of the gang thinking Sheldon is missing and dealing with that. Everyone of them could play that several different ways.

If she disappear with no explanation, well it would not be first time in this show, lol!

If she disappears, too, it would make it even more interesting when the gang finds out. She and Sheldon BOTH missing? They could do so much with that.

1. Sheldon was kissed by Ramona not the other way around.
2. The episode was not about comparing relationships. It was about the lead up and trigger for Sheldon making a big decision and Sheldon's friends being supportive of the Shamy relationship.

But he is notorious for not taking a lot of vacation time. In spite of running away on the train and going to Texas for Christmas we haven't seen him take a lot and he probably could still stay with Amy for awhile at Princeton.
