Ship Zone [Spoilers] Shamy: Season 10

Right, that's true. But they've never had somebody leave for the summer before the finale. If they had a Lenny and Raj finale and a Shamy finale, why did Shamy have to go first when it gets rid of Amy for the last episode? 

I'm just saying that there is definitely a rhyme and reason for why they chose sex instead of engagement, why they chose Shamy first and not second, and why Amy needed to leave before whatever happens next. 

That wasn't exactly my point. I was more or less observing that it isn't the first thing I'd think for Shamy in this context. Can't I make sense of it? Sure. You said it... they've only had sex twice (now 3 times) and it's still a big deal. I like the idea that Sheldon would want to have sex with her before she goes because it proves that he does desire her and wanted to be as close as possible because she leaves for 3 months... but I'm also afraid that isn't how it'll play out. Sheldon could very well say that he's doing it for her. We don't know yet. 

And you're right about everything that has been set up, but Raj moving out and the gyroscope project being pulled are all things that could happen with Amy still in town. In fact, Ramona coming back and the gang being worried is something they could do with Amy still in town. 

My heart isn't set on a pregnancy and I really, really, really don't like the idea of her actually becoming pregnant... but I can't make sense of Amy leaving town and why that was necessary for everything else to transpire. This was never to push an idea, but to strike conversation. I'd like to know what ideas everybody has instead of just why my guesses are wrong.

As I mentioned a few pages back, my hunch is that Sheldon will run off to Princeton himself to escape Ramona and since he's alone and probably missing Amy and doesn't have any work tying him to Caltech at the moment, with the gyroscope project gone. The only current work he has now is with Amy. The cliffhanger, if they're playing the Ramona misunderstanding card, could be Sheldon waking up in a strange bed, naked, and eventually it pans out and it's Amy's in Princeton. But I don't have any certainties, of course, and there's tons of other things the writers might be interested in doing. I just feel some scenarios are more likely than others. 

They might have chosen sex instead of engagement because they're not interested in having them engaged yet (or because Sheldon will propose in the finale). And whether she asks to have sex or he does, at this point, it's moot. The point is that it's no longer a once a year thing. I think a lot of people have been expecting the once a year shoe to drop for ages now, and I personally always had the feeling they would save it for a sweeps episode. So while I wasn't expecting it now necessarily, I wasn't surprised it happened at this point in the season either.

For the finale we've got the usual 18-21 minutes where you would normally have a group scene, and a H/B scene, and a L/P scene and a S/A scene.  Now throw in some Ramona tension.  They are not bring Ramona back for a Caltech cafeteria table stroll by.  They are setting something up and I think it has to do with the gyroscope project.  Reduce S/A to a Scype scene and you free up time to create the Ramona story.

I also think it may simply be a question of giving the different plots enough time. After all is said and done we may find that they could have switched the two episodes with a few adjustments but still decided to go with the Shamy one first because, well, they can't both be the finale.

I'm pretty sure we wouldn't had gotten sex and engagement, so  the writers had to pick one. For me story wise, even for Shamy, it makes more sense that an emotional moment and a separation lead to sex rather than to an engagement. Shamy had become more physical and more passionate, in their own way of course, during this year and, even if frankly I had lost all hopes for that to happen, it would have been a pity to waste all this built up and start all over again next season. 

Gotta say, if I had to pick one of these two things I would have gone with sex, too. There's been such a build up all season long -  it would have been so frustrating if that were all for naught. I can wait for engagement easily because they are as good as married anyway.

With no projects on his plate, what if Sheldon returns to his Caltech office only to be assigned to work on a project with Dr. Nowitzki?

Since the show takes liberties with how academic research works, it's possible  Usually people aren't just assigned projects, and choose who to collaborate with. But it's not like the show hasn't ignored how it works if it serves their purpose (looking at you, research grants!).

Oh, I think there's a reason why Amy has to be already away in the finale, and probably it has to do with Ramona, but I don't think it will be a big deal at this point, it will be the "funny" plot, while the main part will be devoted to other characters. Plus, we really don't know if the finale is a crowded episode, with a lot of plots going on, probably the writers could use a Amy-light episode, with just a couple of cute (or not very cute, depending on how much Ramona interferes with Shamy) Skype calls for her.

I'm pretty sure we wouldn't had gotten sex and engagement, so  the writers had to pick one. For me story wise, even for Shamy, it makes more sense that an emotional moment and a separation lead to sex rather than to an engagement.

An engagement would have felt awfully desperate to me on Sheldon's part.  Like, you know I have a ring and I haven't given it to you yet, but since you are leaving town for 3 months, here take it.  Instead of "don't fall in love with other scientists, we would have gotten...Ha, now you can't fall in love with other scientists, I've got you locked down.

Them having sex instead feels more organic, like they've been building to this all season.

From a character standpoint delaying to get engaged doesn't make much sense to me, but from a show perspective with the renewal it kind of makes sense to delay the engagement until season 11. Then likely have a wedding perhaps in Season 12.

I am just as ecstatic and happy that they removed the annual joke as I would have been had they got engaged. Actually thought the engagement was a more likely outcome out of the two because we know how much Molaro liked that joke.

For the past few weeks I never thought there would be two choices on the table in the first place. I think they made the right choice.

Agreed that they’ve been building towards sex all season, and to the fact that they’re both turned on by each other’s minds and scientific competition. I’m thinking that the payoff to that build up is science-related dirty talk that Leonard, Penny and Raj hear in the hall … bringing the noise canceling headphones jokes back full circle

I wonder if the conversation they have before they go to the bedroom is a renegotiation of the sex clause in the relationship agreement. I always had in my head that they would at some point renegotiate it with Amy suggesting every six months, or special holidays like Pi day and square root day, and Sheldon being the one to suggest just throwing it out entirely.

I agree that there’s something a-brewing for the finale … they must have put the pieces in motion for something … Raj moving out, the gyroscope project cancelation, Amy going to Princeton … I’m just not sure for what. I’m enjoying everyone’s optimism about it though. Maybe the gyroscope project being cancelled in 10.23 is revealed to have something to do with Ramona in 10.24. I’m sure there’s some bearing on Shamy, I’m just not sure what. It’d be nice if it ended up with Sheldon at Princeton, but I for one, don’t like the waking up in a strange bed and panning out scenario. It’s been done so many times, and more than once on this show. Also, since they’d want to milk that ending for a cliffhanger, the pan out wouldn’t be until season 11. That would drive me nuts. Alas, my mind will race until next Tuesday

Why?  Everybody knows it would be Amy because there would be way too much of a backlash if it wasn't and it would be so ooc for Sheldon that it wouldn't be believable

I completely agree that I'm far happier the deadline has been thrown out of the window than I would have been about an engagement. The writers made the right choice.

On the one hand, yes, an engagement makes sense for them at this point in time, given that Sheldon has had that ring for years. But, really, it would change absolutely nothing in terms of their day-to-day relationship at this stage. Which is why I don't particularly care if they ever do or don't. I would find it much more interesting from a show POV to see them do other stuff involved in planning a future together, like getting a joint bank account (and do all sorts of economic modeling and forecasting to choose which one, lol), or revamp the apartment, get a pet (Giuseppe, come back!) or in the future discuss where they might want to live. And the reason why I liked the idea of the fellowship being a bit longer than it is, is because it kind of falls under that umbrella of figuring out how it's going to work with a look to the future. 

I know they will get engaged eventually, though, since it's been on both their minds. But I'm not in a rush, so I'm glad they went the way they went. And I'm still hoping there will be a bit of exploration of Amy's work and career in this.

Just a reminder of some cuteness in the next episode!

 

[spidergirl]

Looking foward to seeing the shamy goodness indeed! Amy seems to be helping  Sheldon about something that bothers him and he is listening her as usual! Love that! 

Three days left to the all true about 10.24! So exciting!

Ok, I have to say that...If the set-designers don't want to get rid of the couch, could they please they get rid at least of the cushions? That flowers and stars festival between Sheldon and Amy really doesn't suit them, LOL!

Agree! And the couch's back  height is horrible for their back. They need to get a new one more suitable to their health. And also more suitable for their snuggling on couch time!

Maybe when Amy is away Sheldon can get rid of it and surprise her with a new one.

"What happened to Penny's couch?"

"It fell out of the window. Accidentally. And then a truck drove over it. And then it exploded."

[Anita]

I remember reading the press realease of an episode after having read the TR, it could be the hot tub or veracity elasticity, I don't remember wich one exactly, but I do remember thinking that the press was  worded intentionally to create worry and implied something that doesn't have anything to do with the reality. I think this could be the same, it's carefully worded to drive us crazy

[Jonny]

Couch talk! Much prefer that over finale fears and the return of the maniac lol.

Aesthetically I don't like the look of it, it's just not very them. Also from a functionality and comfort level point of view it doesn't look comfortable, especially for Sheldon who is way too tall and now 'buff' as the female audience tell me including my sister lol.

Maybe if they won't get rid of the shape or the frame they could get it reupholstered?

Hey guys!!

I've been so busy with my studies that I haven't been on here in a while and I haven't seen the last two episodes, I'm planning to binge the rest of the season during winter break.

I'm so confused by everything I'm reading on this page. Would it be too much to ask a quick re-cap of the last 5 pages or something? Do we know anything about the finale? Coitus? Engagement? 

I would reeeeaaally appreciate it.

In 10.23 (which has already been filmed), Amy gets offered a Summer fellowship to Princeton and she will be going there. At the beginning Sheldon is very upset for that, but then he comes around and he is very supportive. Then (hold your breath for that...) they make love and she leaves. When they are greeting at each other Sheldon says something like "Don't fall in love with some other scientist", the episode is very sweet and tender (that's the opinion of the people being at the taping). Also (non Shamy related things), Raj moves out of 4A in an apartment above Bert's garage and the guys loose their Gyroscope project because the Army fires them, but we don't know why.

We don't know much about the finale, just the press release, which says that Ramona (the former Sheldon's admirer) will be back while Amy is away at Princeton and the gang will be concerned about her. We don't know why they are concerned and/or if that has anything to do with Shamy.
