Remind me, please : why do we think this scene is the tag ( or part of the tag ) the audience members didn't want to reveal to us ? If it is,could it be there's going to be an announcement of a guest super-star we all, including Amy, want to see ? Or has Amy's mother published a comic and she's on the panel ? Or is Big Dave Giggs speaking ? Or is there someone such as a priest they know going who'll marry them ? It must be something important if it was worth witholding. That is, if the scene really is from the tag. It doesn't look very important what they've shown us so far. I'm waiting to see the rest of the scene anyway, wherever in the episode it's from. The girls at the taping just said the tag was a joke that showed certain sexual tension between Shamy and it was so hilarious that Jim and Mayim continued laughing at the end of it. From what I see, everything fits (even if I don't find that the part shown in the promo hilarious, but it's just my opinion, of course), since it was obvious that the actors could barely keep a straight face the whole time. Of course, I might be mistaken, but anyhow for what the girls which gave us the outline of the episode said, I wouldn't expect anything huge from the tag scene. Thay made it clear that was just a fun scene and not something really important plot-wise. Edited February 18, 2017 by mirs1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darcyfitz Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 The one strange choice of wording for me in this episode, was then Sheldon admitted that one of the people he had told He and Amy only had sex once a year was Barry Kripke! I paraphrase Amy...WHAT??? He is the last person I assumed Sheldon would tell such a thing to, since he's his nemesis. I know Sheldon once discussed their (then) nonexistant sex life with Kripke, but if anything, I'd think Sheldon would either not bring it up to him or worse...brag that they engage in sex more. The only thing I can think of as to why, is he's proud to finally be having sex with Amy, even if once a year. Strange for me, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJ1013 Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 One little thing that struck me as particularly intimate during this last episode was the moment when all Amy had to do was say ‘please’ and Sheldon was willing to reveal one of the ultra-private things he had been keeping to himself. That’s a very personal request to make and for him to oblige. It’s fun to speculate about that brief Shamy bit in the preview. Like most everyone, I don’t want a return of desperate Amy/oblivious Sheldon jokes, but I don’t feel like that snippet is enough for me to worry about that yet. Her response will matter a lot to how it plays out. I’d love to see her flirt back and fire off some innuendo of her own. For example, if she said that she would go to comic con with him, but she needed him to do something for her first. Then cut to the two of them at the Wisconsin sheep and wool festival or something. One-sided teasing has been done a lot for them, but any sort of mutual version could have potential. 12 hours ago, vonmar said: The bedroom scene...his line "I'm sorry you were embarrassed". IMO, that's not an apology, the apology should have been "I'm sorry that my behavior caused you embarrassment". To me, there is a difference. Ah yes, politicians do that so often that I think there is even a word for it: the non-apology apology. I agree it was poorly worded. In this specific case it didn’t bother me, though, because I felt like his actions spoke so much louder than his words—researching, making that chart, and planning how it applied to their lives. Trying to make things right takes effort and proves sincerity in a way that words alone cannot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And as annoying the driver's licence thing is in terms of it being inexcusably selfish of him I think it's also a nice sign that he told her after all. First of all, we know the writers have far worse ideas for "character reveals a secret after 2 years" (yikes), and secondly, the mere fact that he tells her now shows some progress on his part in that he's risking to lose that comfort of being chauffeured around. It will be interesting to see how Amy deals with that next time he "needs" to be driven somewhere. I expect Amy will continue to drive wherever they go together anyway but if he wants to go somewhere where Amy doesn't want to? Or if for some plot reason Amy can't drive for a bit?? Certainly would be a nice opportunity for a "Sheldon has to drive" plot. lol 3 hours ago, RJ1013 said: It’s fun to speculate about that brief Shamy bit in the preview.

Maybe a plotline as Amy got a hurt foot or something like that as Sheldon had to drive for taking her to ER, like he had to drive for Penny at past. It could be a nice mixing of comedy and shamy goodness as Sheldon would show how much he is a caring boyfriend to Amy. He is already so concerned for her menstrual issues. 16 minutes ago, April said: Makes me wonder what other "naughty secrets" she could get out of him if she put her mind to it... A DD advanced naughty version just for them ( first time they played it was naugthy for them but in a very innocent way yet, hehe) would be a great option, lol!

I totally get why everyone is wary of those old jokes returning, though, because I am too. Difference to me this season is that Sheldon does seem more flirty and suggestive but so far we are getting the same end result that we got in the past whenever Sheldon said something unintentionally suggestive earlier in their relationship, i.e. it transpires into nothing it goes nowhere. I didn't sense any desperation either, but a scene like that can be spun that way 'Oh look Sheldon gets her hopes up, but they are dashed again'. I mean just check some of the comments at places like YouTube or social media, they are already there after the promo came out. Not that I subscribe to that overall notion, but when you see it happen plenty of times it becomes harder to ignore or defend. The writers are such teases. One day I am going to see a scene like that and it will actually lead to something resulting in first my jaw dropping, then shouting a happy expletive and fist pumping the air.

Indeed. It's easy enough to think of a scenario that explains it. Maybe someone tipped Kripke off that all those outrageous sex stories was just Sheldon tricking him or whatever (after all he just went with whatever Kripke was suggesting). What's then left would be the idea that Shamy have a sex life like anybody else which probably wouldn't be gossip worthy for Kripke. But he sure as hell would gossip gleefully about the reveal of them doing it only once a year. Quote Personally, I think he told her the least 'naughtiest' secret he had.....

I totally get why everyone is wary of those old jokes returning, though, because I am too. Exactly! I get the wariness of the tired old jokes returning as well, so that's not my issue per se. But when even the most neutral reaction by Amy is interpreted as "look how they show her to be horny again!!" I'm just...???????? The woman so much as breathes into Sheldon's direction and it's seen as some sign of sexual desperation. What even!?? As for Sheldon: IMHO it's not even a strictly Sheldony thing - many people make bait-and-switch innuendo jokes, especially with their partners. Hence, why I don't see the oblivious part. The body language is very consciously flirty here. 18 minutes ago, vonmar said: I thought it was more of a WTF face more than anything else.

vonmar Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 A little chat on Twitter last night about Sheldon's comment about getting his drivers license 2 years ago. In The Space Probe Disintegration, Sheldon & Leonard are talking while Penny/Amy shop... Leonard: That is not a compromise. A compromise is me driving you everywhere because you refuse to learn how. Sheldon: Oh, I learned how. Amy taught me. That was Season 8, Ep 12...In this episode, Season 10, Ep 16...Sheldon reveals to Amy that he got his drivers license 2 years ago. Amy taught him to drive and that made him brave enough to go and take the test (and pass). The writers got this callback correct.

Maddie Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 I know this has probably been mentioned (probably even by myself after 8.24), but I'm forever swooning at how both Sheldon and Amy refer to their date in 4.01 as when they started dating and becoming a couple. For example, Amy's comment in 8.24: "Can you believe we've been together five years?" Sheldon: "I know." And of course, in this last episode, how they wistfully thought back to their first date at the coffee shop. I'm currently watching through all the BBT episodes with my roommate, who's watching BBT for the very first time. We're partway through season 4, and it's just so funny to see Sheldon (and to a lesser degree Amy did this as well) ADAMANTLY refuse to refer to Amy as his girlfriend. And now all these years later, they both say they've been together since 4.01. I think one of the things about Sheldon that really resonates with me is his rare and uncharacteristic willingness to admit to being wrong or unsuccessful in any way when it comes to Amy. This is why what he said at the end of 9.09 ("I excel at many things, but getting over you wasn't one of them") is so powerful to me. It's like Amy is the only one he will swallow his pride for. It's funny because my roommate asked me, "When do Sheldon and Amy get together?" And I stopped and had to think about it for a moment. I was like, "Well, that's kind of hard to answer. They don't 'officially' become girlfriend and boyfriend until season 5, but they remain platonic until season 7. However now they both consider season 4 as the beginning of their relationship." And my roommate looked at me funny because she's just witnessed episode after episode of "Amy is a girl who is a friend, but she is NOT my girlfriend." And I'm just like, it will make sense later lol. I don't know why I find it so endearing. It's like even when they didn't show signs of having feelings for each other yet (which, IMO, started happening for Sheldon in Alien Parasite and for Amy in Herb Garden) and vigorously denied having them at the time, NOW they realized that even from day one at the coffee shop, those feelings were absolutely there. That's so freakin cute. <3 <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
