Ship Zone [Spoilers] Shamy: Season 10

Finally submitted my top 10 list, choosing from 17-18 Shamy moments that came to my head right away when I started thinking of fav moments (I decided that if I go through all episodes writing down all my fav moments it would be more than a hundred and it would be nearly impossible to narrow it down to 10) and I was surprised to see that at least half of them were from season 9! 
It made me realize again how amazing last season actually was and how much we got from it <3
Some of the Shamy moments that used to be my fav in other seasons now seem so insignificant after s9 aired, or much less significant, I mean in a good way, cause Sheldon's grown so much and now small sweet gestures on his part don't strike me as unusual anymore.

 

I feel the same way about season 9 which is by far my favourite season. Four out of my top5 were from this season with Sheldon showing Amy his hoarding space being no.1. I hope season 10 is even better!

[mirs1]

Here's my favourite 10 Shamy moments

10.   Sheldon gives Amy the tiara (5.12)

9. Cuddling on Amy's couch (5.8)

8. The Dungeons&Dragons foreplay (6.23)

7. Sheldon presenting Amy the relationship agreement for the first time (5.10)

6. Sheldon saying “you're my earworm” (9.10)

5. Sheldon asking Amy to be his girlfriend at the movie theater (5.10)

4. Shamy's first kiss (4.21)

3. Sheldon saying Amy “I love you, too” (8.08)

2. The train t kiss (7.15)

   1. Sheldon reassuring Amy during their first time together (9.11)

 

Now that look at it closely, I have a lot of S. 5 moments, which is weird, since S. 5 as a whole isn't my favourite one at all, but my top-three moments are in more recent seasons. I hope that, if we get to do it again next hiatus (which, BTW, would mean that the show will be renewed, LOL!) we all can add a lot of new moments from S. 10!

 Ok, everyone, if you haven't sent me your list of your top ten Shamy moments, and you wish to, you have about one more day.

I'd like to participate, but I can't think of only ten.

Top one hundred maybe, but ten?

I personally don't have confidence on the spockumentary coming def into play.

I really don't see the point in raising it again, now that Amy knows about the ring.

It was easier, for me, to have you guys do all the hard work in paring it down.  

[Judith]

Ok here's mine:

1) 9.19 The Solder Excursion Diversion - Sheldon shows Amy his hoarding place.
2) 9.10 The Earworm Reverberation - Reconciliation scene.
3) 9.11 Opening Night Excitation - First bed scene.
4) 7.15 The Locomotive Manipulation - Kiss scene.
5) 9.20 The Big Bear Precipitation - Tag scene.
6) 8.8 The Prom Equivalency - "I love you too" scene.
7) 8.11 The Clean Room Infiltration - Sheldon and Amy exchange gifts.
(Ignore the annoying smiley) 

8 ) 5.24 The Countdown Reflection - Sheldon takes Amy's hand while watching Howard go to space on TV.
9) 5.23 The Launch Acceleration - Date scene.
10) 6.16 The Tangible Affection Proof - Sheldon gives Amy his emergency contact gift and Amy cancels their plans to go out.

Voted for Earworm, I think the two main storylines are on a par but the footprints on the moon storyline which I am not that big a fan of is still better than that stoner storyline in adhesive IMO.

If you think it's tough now fellow Shamy shippers look at the next round Opening Night vs Prom. Has to be Opening Night for me despite Prom having my no.1 Shamy moment.

Duck vs. Earworm isn't tough for me in terms of making a decision. But it will be tough for Earworm to beat Duck cause the latter was always #2 in these kinds of tournament (except for like one year). Time to shake things up, IMO!

Ooops sincere apologies, but there is nothing wrong with enjoying the Shenny friendship. I thought Adhesive Duck dispelled that anything more would even happen with those 2. So it  actually does the opposite. It is an episode where he shows emotions and growth, while still being a robot.  Anyway I like Earworm too, just think that in terms of laughs and for those Shamy shippers, who also  love Sheldon, Adhesive Duck might appeal to them as well.  Again, sorry.

Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy Sheldon and Penny as friends. And as said in the other thread, it does have its moments. But I don't find it super funny nor do I think it's the best showcase of Sheldon's personal growth or whatever. In terms of humour I can genuinely say that I laughed more during Earworm than Duck during my rewatch. /shrugs

Frankly, to me personally it's so average that I'm baffled by its popularity. LOL

I agree April, but we may be in a minority lol. Like I said on the tournament thread the stoner cliche storyline ruins it for me a lot.

Also, as much as people are complaining that the Shamy reunion was too clichéd, in addition to being a super sweet moment for the ship I honestly also found it super funny  with Dave being there offering his commentary and support. I just really liked this guy and Stephen Merchant was one of my favourite guest stars in S9! <3

In that situation, I couldn't have been so magnanimous, as to give up Amy.

I think Dave clearly was more interested in Sheldon than Amy lol but then again it was never portrayed as anything serious. He was great though, perhaps they could bring him back sometime for example the guidance system wins a major innovation award and Dave is in the crowd and comes up to Sheldon afterwards.

Can't wait to get the first spoilers !!!

Been thinking about the rumored Spockumentary return episode they are thinking of doing in Season 10. Is it possible that Sheldon is perhaps reluctant to see it? Maybe that is the storyline he is reluctant to see it and Amy wonders why, perhaps asking Leonard and Penny why but they won't say. Kind of like a Solder Excursion moment, it's a display of a vulnerability and Sheldon is reluctant for it to be on display.

I used to be a big fan of that video making its way into Amy's living room for a few reasons (she could see the impact the breakup had on him, a view of a seldom seen vulnerable side, and a peek into how her friends knew about Sheldon's proposal desire and keeping it from her)....

Now Im not so sure. I dont see anything necessary or good coming out of it. So much has happened since then and now Amy knows of the ring and knows Sheldon got hurt. So mucg progress has already been made without that video so I think its usefulness has passed.

Its just a sad reminder of the breakup to me now

Same here. Agreed. Amy did nothing to hurt Sheldon so showing her his pain won't help. He hurt himself and didn't even try to put anything right. He finally admitted during the filming, 'Amy had reservations about our relationship.' If he'd accepted that in the first place instead of getting angry and spiteful, he could have allowed her some space and then discussed matters, saving them both all that heartache. Quite possibly he realised that truth all along, which could be another facet of his pain. He acted from 9x01 as though he had no idea what her 'reservations' could have been, but despite how oblivious he can be, he must have had a clue some of the ways he'd spoken to and treated her over the years weren't acceptable.

There is little or nothing to be gained now from showing Amy what Sheldon was putting himself through. It could even open up old wounds. He admitted in Valentino that he benefitted from the breakup. Unless showing the 'ring'  part of the film brings discussion into the open which results in making sure there isn't another breakup, it will be better left out.

Ok,  I'll go out on a limb here...When I watched the panel and I heard Molaro's words about the Spockumentary I had goosebumps (in a very good way) just for the reasons you told; there's no point story-wise now to reintroduce a remainder of the break up; Shamy are back together, Amy knows about the ring, Sheldon already told Amy that the break up was very painful, but he also admitted it has made them stronger. There is no need for it unless the writers want to use it in a very positive way, for example as a tool for a proposal. It could be done, if Sheldon's footage is properly edited and the "sad\angry" parts are cut. Even if they are  not, I can also see Sheldon a bit reluctant in watching it, at the beginning, because he knows what's in it, but then realizing that's the right moment for a proposal and stopping the video (or rushing out the movie theater, if they don't watch the film at home) before the sad part starts. I don't want to raise expectations and I know I'm very biased on the topic since the Spockumentary has always been involved in a way or the other in my "ideal" proposal, my point is there can also be some positive outcomes from it...

[Judith]

I'm not sure about the Spockumentary being involved in a proposal. How is it possible that this guy is going to film a documentary about his dead dad and then not edit out some random fan's outburst about his personal life? At the most I see Sheldon being triggered by this and not wanting to go watch it, so that kickstarts a conversation between him and Amy...Because in order to explain to her what's his problem he'll have to mention the ring, right?

But again, how is that going to lead to a proposal? Unless Sheldon plans the proposal from the start, without freaking out about the film.

My thoughts about this are all over the place, so yeah...

Well, in the "real" world it doesn't make any sense, but maybe in "TBBT world" (to quote Molaro...) the writers can take some poetic license and find a way to make Sheldon's love life part of the movie (the documentary's title is "For the love of Spock", maybe that's the trick...)  even if, of course, it is not  nor it should\could be in the "real" documentary. Anyway, I guess we'll find out soon enough, the movie's premiere is at the beginning of September, of course TBBT will be late for it (the first episode is on September 19), but for being of any use to advertise the documentary I think it will be part of one of the very early episodes; moreover, Molaro seemed to me pretty sure about the documentary as a plot for TBBT, it didn't seem just an idea floating around in the writers room, which suggests me that the writers are already working on the script of the episode featuring it.

I agree, Amy knows he was hurting during the breakup and about the ring so I am not sure what good could come from it. Again I am not sure Sheldon would want Amy to see it, but maybe the writers have something else planned with it.

Honestly if it isn't brought up again it wouldn't bother me and if there was a hypothetical choice of say the writers have like one episode where they could do either a Spockumentary themed one or have Shamy go to a flag convention I am going to pick the latter.

The joke in the episode was that all of it would be in the documentary but then again that could just be WW trolling a bit and, as said before, in universe they could have Adam Nimoy edit the part to tailor it for the story they want to tell.

Realistically, I'd think the parts that might be most interesting for the documentary would be Sheldon recounting how emulating Spock helped him coping with the childhood bullying and how the signed napkin is one of his most treasured possessions. The emotional outburst I can easily see being cut (or at least I would cut it if I had to edit it for a documentary). The other things in the box including ring could still be in it as well (I'd cut after Sheldon presents the ring and before Penny's "WHAT?!?"). But again, that's just how I'd do it.

I can easily imagine a story where the Spockumentary's release is announced and Sheldon tries to find out what parts of his interview are in it. And depending on that (with outburst? without outburst but with ring? without outburst and without ring?) he'd be reacting accordingly. Maybe he's worried what Amy might think. Maybe he tries to bargain with Adam to keep certain parts out. Or maybe he uses the opportunity to plan something special...? Either way though I can see a scene with the gang at some special screening and when his part comes up Sheldon excuses himself much to Amy's surprise. Depending on what path they go down it could be that Amy then sees his interview part and realises what's going on so she goes outside and finds Sheldon and they have a nice heart-to-heart talk. Alternatively if Sheldon has something planned the screening could pause as the part where he shows the ring into the camera and then comes out with the ring in hand and proposes. It would be a bit over the top for Sheldon but maybe he'd think Amy would love such a big hippie dippy proposal or something. Plus, the show hasn't had a big proposal like that (the others were fairly private affairs) so maybe the writers would find a fun way to do it like that???

Idk, just throwing out some ideas...
 

[Jonny]

Some good ideas April, I guess we will have to see how it plays out if indeed an episode with that storyline does come up.

My fear that it may reopen old wounds is just as much evenly matched by some potential opportunities for something good to come out of it. It's up to the writers, whether they want to throw in their occasional painful but learning life moment or something positive and beautiful.
