I think it is because the couch is so low to the ground and has such a short back, that it can make it difficult for someone as tall as Jim to gracefully get up. That's reassuring. Thank you.

Not with how happy he has been in his relationship all season long. It would be a massive wtf! Nothing about it would make any sense.

Tbh  I dont believe they will ruin shamy but the unknown sense of how Ramona will play out a role in finale shake my nerves a bit, hehe! However I trust shamy feelings for each other, whatever would happen, they would make it. Sheldon as many of us have been saying and well , he would not betray Amy in any way. She neither  to him. He  wont be like his father and now he is well aware about how his feelings for Amy are important to him and to her as well. Amy had proved since always she had only eyes for Sheldon, so from both I have no worries they would always following their hearts.  We cant say the writers dont know how to make the aproaching of a season finale very exciting, lol! Edited April 23, 2017 by spidergirl Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
koops Posted April 23, 2017 Posted April 23, 2017 I think Amy's furniture got damaged in the flooding, yes. Or at least, she mentions how all her clothes got damaged because the leak was right above her closet. It's also possible that Amy's place came fully furnished or part furnished. I don't know how common that is in the US but it's very common over here. She might also have some stuff stored in Sheldon's storage unit, who knows. In any case, Shamy shopping for a new couch could also make for a fun little B-plot in an episode, so I hope they go there. As for the cheating... Again, it would make much more sense for Sheldon to suddenly jet off to Mars and leave Amy behind than for him to cheat. He might do something stupid to damage his relationship if science is on the table, or something, but not because he wants to sleep around. Come on. It's Sheldon! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be happy to see them try and do a bit of furniture shopping specifically for a couch in a b-plot storyline. Sheldon did seem keen to get rid of it, and of course if it goes it has to be replaced. Had Amy not pointed out Penny might want to keep it I suspect they would have replaced it by now .

koops Posted April 23, 2017 Posted April 23, 2017 I also would love it if Amy did come home to find the couch gone and Sheldon innocently sitting at the kitchen table like "What? it just tripped and fell!" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joyceraye Posted April 23, 2017 Posted April 23, 2017 Maybe 'the gang' are going to be 'concerned' when Ramona 'resurfaces' in a way we do not know, but it's entirely possible she and Sheldon won't even meet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can imagine them getting in a bit of a stew over nothing, and making sure Ramona doesn't even know where Sheldon is. Alternatively she comes to thank Sheldon for something - perhaps putting her name in the list of acknowledgements on a paper - that led to a career enhancement. She knows now she wasn't entitled to have her name up there as joint author and is grateful for what she learned. Unlikely as that may be, it's surely more probable than getting Sheldon to 'cheat' on Amy.

littleknee Posted April 23, 2017 Posted April 23, 2017 I had another conjecture for the finale ... maybe Ramona manipulates Sheldon into showing her the work that he and Amy were collaborating on. That would still create drama but be less OOC. It also fits into the character they created for Ramona in the past. Just one of many speculations. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Hawking Posted April 23, 2017 Posted April 23, 2017 The idea of Ramona hooking up with Sheldon, sexually, is, IMO, a non-starter. She wouldn't even let him take time off from his work, to play Halo, so she'd never let him take time off for sex. Now there's a possibility. Ramona chastises him about wasting his valuable time, having a romantic relationship with Amy. When Amy finds out, she goes ape, and we get to see a Battle Royale, between Amy and Ramona.

Not with how happy he has been in his relationship all season long. It would be a massive wtf! Nothing about it would make any sense. Storyline narrative over the course of this season and everything we know about him as a character. Well, there is one thing. I didn't remember this until I started rewatching episodes from this season and now I'm a tad bit worried, honestly. Just a smidge, but I wasn't at all before, so that's enough. In The Hot Tub Contamination, Sheldon told Penny about his dad cheating. She said, "...and you're afraid that you're going to do something like your dad did." He says, "Yes! I need to prepare her now to save her from pain down the road." I always thought it was weird for them to give such a serious reason for why Sheldon knocks like he does and the idea that he honestly fears that he will cheat on Amy... that flew right over my head. I understand somebody worrying that they will make the same mistakes their parents made, but somebody who was never interested in romance or sex until he found her worrying that he would cheat? No. I never understood that. I always thought it was an interesting episode (although a bit puzzling) but never thought it would come back to bite us in the ass. I honestly forgot that he told Penny about his fear of hurting Amy in that way because I always saw it as one of the times the writers pulled back on consistency to spin together an interesting scene. With that episode, that memory, Young Sheldon premiering next season, and a foreshadowing like, "I need to prepare her now to save her from pain down the road..." I'm a bit concerned now. Not enough to shake in my boots, but this is proof that what I bolded above isn't exactly true and not only did this season prepare us for cheating from Sheldon, but he explained how it's possible for somebody like him to do such a thing. My heart still says nothing will happen, but maybe all that I said is why Penny and the gang will think it's possible. It might even be why Sheldon thinks it's possible. He loses his gyroscope project and Amy in a single episode... so whatever happens won't be out of thin air like I previously thought. The reasons why were definitely approached earlier this season.

April Posted April 23, 2017 Posted April 23, 2017 To me Sheldon being afraid he'd become like his father is even more of a reason that he wouldn't cheat on Amy. He was traumatised by his father's behaviour so I don't see him make the same mistake. The reason he was afraid of it in that episode was because he recognised the pattern of bickering between him and Amy from his parents. It probably also didn't help that between his father's cheating and his mother's fire and brimstone lectures he never got a healthy sense of sexuality in a loving relationship which certainly muddled the waters as his and Amy's relationship became even more physical at that time. I can't see the writers going down the slippery slope of "you're a cheater because your dad was!!" especially since the bickering that started it all immediately stopped and it has been sweet harmony between them ever since.

koops Posted April 23, 2017 Posted April 23, 2017 I always took that episode as meaning two things: 1) Sheldon overreacts about EVERYTHING. It's totally IC for him to worry that he can go from 0 sex to cheater in the span of one argument just because his dad was like that. That doesn't mean at all that it's a genuine risk, it just means he's a worrier and it means that his relationship means so much to him. 2) We as the audience are meant to find humor in the fact that Sheldon, who has the lowest sex drive of anyone on the show, suddenly thinks he's become average Joe, ogling women on the streets and thinking about cheating. Because it's absurd. And Sheldon himself admits it that he was never serious at the end of the episode. But, ultimately, if the show went there, that would be the jump the shark moment they would never recover from. I'm sorry, people had years of arguments over whether or not Sheldon should have sex with Amy, that there's no way the show would survive making Sheldon a cheater, because while the former has a logical and realistic development, the latter does not and destroys one of the trademark traits of the breakthrough character of this show. If they did go there, I would personally be done watching because it would be a level of stupidity like never before. I've had everything I wanted already, anyway, so it wouldn't be a big loss. That's why I guess I'm not so bothered no matter what happens. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nusspot Posted April 23, 2017 Posted April 23, 2017 I go back and forth between being like "Nah, Sheldon would never do that" and "I don't trust Molaro/writers; never have, never will" but if I look at the situation from a practical, logical, rational POV, I ask myself: would they really risk having (what I assume is) the majority of the audience side with a 'secondary' character and go against their precious golden boy? 'Cause I don't know how anyone in their right mind could excuse his behavior, if he were to cheat on his girlfriend. So this makes me believe it will all be a big misunderstanding in the end or Ramona has nothing to do with Shamy, but just with the gyroscope project.

koops Posted April 23, 2017 Posted April 23, 2017 And, again, it's not even the writers having to worry about people's reactions to a character cheating. They would have to worry about the reactions to SHELDON cheating. I mean, these are the guys who wouldn't even change a couch in an apartment and took years to let people move around to their logical living arrangements because they thought it would change the DNA of the show too much. These are the guys who took years to decide whether or not Shamy could consummate the relationship, and over a year to decide how frequent that should be. Because they thought that Sheldon having sex with his girlfriend of 5-6-7 years (that the audience mostly adores) would affect the audience that much. And they would think that Sheldon cheating on said girlfriend with some random woman out of the blue is a good plot? Nah. Again, if I had to worry about them writing a cheating plot, I'd be more concerned about Amy. But Amy's not the type of character to be sexually driven either, and especially not by men other than Sheldon when everything is fine with Sheldon. And everything is great with Sheldon right now. So... yeah. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
