Sheldon makes a point something along the lines you suggest, Anita, and tells Amy he sent it back to be saved for his nephew. Amy says, ' I want a new one anyway.' Sheldon wants to go to the jeweller's to get one that matches the tiara and they both suddenly realise what they've done. I think meemaw would approve. Vintage family ring is right up Amy's ally. They are in a solid place and I am sure in the monthly phone calls he tells her of all the love he feels for her and vise versa. Meemaw has got to know how happy her moon pie is and who is responsible... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they got to meet during the Christmas holidays; that was not exactly a Merry Christmas for Shamy, but I'm sure meemaw has realized that they are very very happy together. And I agree, a vintage family heirloom is exactly the kind of ring Amy would like, I hope Sheldon proposes with that one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the hiatus seems really long to me. Like 6 months...you were right. Even with hiatus it makes no sense. I am OK with a really long pregnancy. It is a TV show after all.

I felt that Amy and Meemaw came to a real understanding and bond at the end of the episode. I do hope they have another episode with Meemaw and Amy where they grow closer together. But from the way Amy teased Sheldon, I think she'd love to have the ring. And I think Sheldon would love her to have it. And I had a grandma just like Meemaw. She's protective as hell, but she'll love Amy like her own granddaughter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really really disliked meemaw, not only she was mean and unfair to amy, she was to Sheldon too. Spilling the beans about the ring in that way was a low blow and hurt both of them, I don't know in what terms they are now, but basing my opinion only on what we wached on screen she deserves to have her ring back and amy a new one on her finger.

I understood her motives to some extent , even though I am not a fan of the episode. Sheldon is her grandson(and she does not seem to treat him as a grown up), did you really expect her to be reasonable, fair and objective ? Of course she is going to be unreasonably biased towards Sheldon and would not want to see Sheldon get hurt again. If someone claimed they were my loved one's "best shot" i'd be upset too. It is understandable that she is protective of Sheldon. She loves Sheldon and as much as he was at fault for the break up as Amy, she will be biased towards Sheldon, based on how close he is to her. Amy broke up with Sheldon , and what guarantee did she have that Amy will not break up with Sheldon again ? Amy's comment about being Sheldon's best shot and Amy mocking the family ring as a "hand me down" did not help matters. The good thing is that it was probably knee jerk reaction from both , and by the end of the episode they both seemed ok. Amy really did want the ring and also admitted that the break up helped her grow too. And Meemaw has probably realized that Amy had valid reasons for the break up, and that Sheldon is a grown man and i don't think they will bring up this drama again.

I could understand where she was coming from he is her Grandson after all and knew that the break up hurt him deeply. Even if she doesn't know the specifics she will of course have a natural bias. The problem I had with his meemaw was the treating like a child of Sheldon or empowering it. Everyone knows what I feel about those child jokes or in this case put downs. In terms of the ring I just saw it as just heat of the moment talk, if Sheldon was to give Amy that ring, (which I fully expect him to do, the ring means a lot to his family as it has been passed down the generations and Sheldon can be very traditional at times) Amy will gladly accept it.

serenaded214 Posted February 20, 2017 Posted February 20, 2017 I'm almost positive that all this "Sheldon learns to read emotions" and "Sheldon learns what's private" plots are there to prep for the role of being a good husband. That proposal is getting closer than we thinkSent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Amy will get the family heirloom. I also think that Sheldon has always intended to give this ring to her when the time is appropiate. I always think back to when he first reveals he had a ring in his position and again when it comes up at meemaw's visit. I think that he makes it clear enough that he would like to give it to Amy someday. Amy will be thrilled to have it. Sheldon is very practical and so is Amy to an extent. What if they just did it some random day and there is kind of a flashback episode? I think if they had a wedding it would be a Victorian style wedding with Cling On vows and preacher speaking cling on .

The Norman Cook instagram confirms and thanks fans for still watching. Amy doesn't know as much about the heirloom ring as we do. She might just think it's Constance's own ring. So far as we know, Amy hasn't even seen it and won't have heard of the history. Something over a century and a half old would usually appeal to her but not from 1985, and in the former wearer's lifetime no less. If the writers choose to forget that i) Sheldon's associations with the ring are unhappy and ii) Constance's approval was nothing more than a half-hearted, grudging 'I suppose' when Shamy were placating her, they might let Sheldon propose with it as soon as he thinks Amy's jets have cooled enough. OTOH, if the writers choose to remember all that, then Amy, who normally does love antique things, might not want one this time. She may prefer a ring from one of her own grandmothers, or one from the Cooper side which Sheldon is given, or something new, flashy and expensive for her friends to admire that hasn't been cheaply sourced by a cousin or recycled from a drill-bit. If Amy's going to wear a Victorian dress then I hope it's Sarah Jane's from The Pyramids of Mars, purchased in readiness from a Dr Who convention.

anicez Posted February 20, 2017 Posted February 20, 2017 I don´t think that Sheldon was going to proposal in 8x24, he had the ring yes, but as he said in the meemaw episode "I was thinking of giving it to you, but then you broke up with me", he actually went to ask her in the 9x07 when he saw Dave kissing Amy and that was devastating for him but I think that was the first try for him (that we know). I do think that in Christmas meemaw and Amy became more closer, I would love to hear a reference, maybe Amy cook some meemaw´s recipe and she remember the good time she had with her in Texas on or something like that.

I agree. I don't think he planned to propose in 8x24. Maybe it would have slipped out if the evening went well but I don't think it was something he was dead set on going through with cause otherwise I don't think he would have let that evening go down the drain that much. I do think the shock in 9x07 together with the Meemaw incident and now the huge changes in S10 are believable reasons for a delay. 4 minutes ago, anicez said: I do think that in Christmas meemaw and Amy became more closer, I would love to hear a reference, maybe Amy cook some meemaw´s recipe and she remember the good time she had with her in Texas on or something like that. It's a nice thought but I wouldn't bank on it either, tbh. On all accounts the trip was kinda terrible so I don't think they spent much quality time baking cookies with Meemaw. 4 minutes ago, anicez said: Happy Birthday @amethyst, have an awesome day!!!

Riley7 Posted February 20, 2017 Posted February 20, 2017 Proposal talk is the best! I didn't really love the last two episodes and my expectations are pretty low, but I know eventually the writers are gonna have to get back to the early season fan fiction-y stuff... right? I mean, they have to! I have to admit the "fight" in last week's episode wasn't as bad as I thought it was gonna be, so I'm happy. Speaking of happy, happy birthday @amethyst!

Judith Posted February 20, 2017 Posted February 20, 2017 Happy birthday @amethyst! I thought the engagement would happen during February sweeps but nope. Not even a Valentine's episode Now I'm counting on the end of the season. I hadn't made the connection between Sheldon trying to better himself even more before he proposes but it would be nice if the writers tie it up like that. Though after Bernie's elephantine pregnancy I'll try not to think about timelines too much lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
