Happy to see the gang essentially putting a stop to this before it got messy! Real friendship right there! I really lolled at Raj offering to date her to stop her advances, just so Raj! Penny taking the lead is understandable she is Sheldon's best friend after all.

Sheldon being so oblivious I don't understand really. True he has never been in a relationship before and had someone chasing him at the same time but he's not the same Sheldon he was back in say Season 2. Doesn't sound that realistic to me.

I think two of Sheldon's traits are he enjoys other people's attention, and he likes having a play date/companion for conversations or entertainment.

And apparently, to him, Ramona was a good companion, they shared work-related information, and they even swimmed together.

IMO, to Sheldon, Ramona is not a girl who is chasing him but a co-worker who happens to be here and they can play together.

And I think this is the writers' way to prompt Sheldon to propose to Amy.

It's not even 10 am and I'm already out of likes, what the hell???

I agree, it all seems over the top even for Sheldon, LOL! Probably the writers wanted it played just for giggles, I must say the image of Bernie squeezing herself between Sheldon and Ramona makes me crack already! I like the gang was very protective to him and to Amy, there was no joke about Sheldon being a "player", they realized something was wrong and acted accordingly. It hasn't always happened in the show,  for example during the period Raj was dating two women, one of which had been part of the group for two years. 

I also love how protective the gang is. I remember this was one of the big pet peeves during the breakup - like how everyone was pushing Sheldon and Amy to date other people almost immediately. So I'm happy to see how they're all on board here to ward Ramona off. Sounds like a fun group episode that way! :D

So E1s11 will have a big declaration of love from Sheldon? Cos for some reason, and I'm really sad to say this cos I've been waiting for a proposal for years, this whole thing seems so... forced and kind of cold.

But I'm still ecstatic! Thank you to everyone who provided spoilers! @kazzie, next taping you go to will probably be the wedding. You're so lucky!

Mine seem to have come back, instead!! But sure I'll be pretty soon out of likes again, LOL! Yes, it's a nice change from the way they acted during the break up. It's always difficult, as a close group of friends, to deal with such situations, but I thought the whole "Date new people" advises were pretty forced. Happy this time they worked as a team to keep Ramona away, the poor girl had to face a tough crowd indeed, LOL!

What I'm wondering about it Sheldon's reaction to the kiss. As in, is he shocked because of the kiss itself or is it something that clicked in his brain right at that moment about Amy truly being the only one for him that pushed him to fly over or is it the fact that he feels guilty as hell for something he really has no fault? 

I am sure this will be better explained in the premiere and/or the post-episode interviews (although those are often horrible, LOL). I also hope that he's going to come clear with Amy about the kiss right away and this won't turn into another Lenny kiss drama where Amy doesn't find out until months or years down the line. It just doesn't suit them as a couple. And I hope that, as upset as Amy might be with Ramona for hitting on Sheldon (let's face it, nobody wouldn't be annoyed by another person hitting on their partners insistently), she won't be angry at Sheldon for it. She should know better than that. 

In any case, I am much more looking forward to 10x23 than the finale. I literally cannot wait for that one.

Thank you so much one more time @kazzie. You are really a sweet generous human being

I always expected a more quirky proposal from Sheldon to Amy but due the circunstances he realized it was time as he got an epiphany about the subject. It was an ic way for he proposed to Amy after all!

So many things for comment but I need to process all of them first I  guess. And If I could I would like every single post of this thread but can't  at moment...

One thing that Amy should have been furious even she knows her Sheldon is a naive man who would never betray her or do anything innapropriate ( as he proved, so proud of him for that!).

Ramona was inside a swimming pool with Sheldon!!! She was in same place as Amy's  man was in a bathing suit! 

I wish Amy could  get revenge about that, lol! These arms of him, wet or dry, are only for be seen as property of Amy Farrah Fowler! Dito!

You guys are gonna love 10x23.....

Off topic: Your member status is my life right now, Kazzie. LOL.

ETA: I find the swimming the most absurd, random and OOC thing about the entire episode. What the... how did the writers even come up with that one?! Since when does Sheldon go into pools?! I mean, I guess they wanted to make the point that Ramona is trying to show off her body and Sheldon's not having it, but still... that's so random.

Let's face it, that was a bit of a stretch from the writers' part, LOL! I guess she tried to teach him how to swim (since he had just put his face underwater) but Sheldon Lee Cooper in a swimming pool is hard to believe!

Amen to that!

I guess the point is that Ramona is one of those women that can get Sheldon to do about anything (see her previous appearance) but that is just so out of left field. Like I can't believe Molaro meant that Olympic swimmer thing literally. LOL What even!?!??

[kazzie]

Guys sorry to spam this here.. But I'm so excited I got to meet her again! she remember me from last year and she was just the sweetest! She greeted me with a hug again, walked us down tot he corner, commented on how great the episode was and how I had changed my hair.. she just unreal you guys! She was happy to get another picture in and hugged me goodbye.. It's so weird to speak with Mayim like she knows you.. Im forever grateful! Truly 100% genuine!

 

 

 

[koops]

Mayim is such a sweetheart. I would love to meet her someday. 

[snow*flower]

That’s it, I can’t sleep.  This Shamy news is causing me to have insomnia.

Never feel sorry for posting cute pics, @kazzie! I wish I was there! <3

Thanks again, @kazzie! <3

Yeah, I can buy Sheldon being oblivious here precisely because it's not like he's accidentally leading Ramona on or anything. He's upfront about Amy and talking about her all the time - who in their right mind would think that a guy like this is open for another relationship??

That's what makes me feel better about how oblivious he was. I predicted that they would explore Sheldon's growth and maturity since S2 and that would be what made this episode interesting. I'll have to see the episode to know if that was right or wrong, but it seems to be the opposite, right? Despite his growth, there will always be a part of Sheldon that just doesn't get it. But the fact that he never showed romantic interest in Ramona or ever tried to hide his relationship with Amy is what sets this situation apart. 

Sheldon couldn't read the signs. He didn't understand that everybody doesn't honor their significant other's the way he does. He just figured that being with Amy made him off limits and learned the hard way that not everybody works like that. 

I find it interesting that looking back at recent episodes sets the scene for this to happen. Specifically, I'm thinking of his emotion machine and how upset he was that he hadn't made as much progress in understanding other people as he once thought he had. At the time, I thought they really regressed with him and his childlike reaction to failing was out of place. Looking at what happened with Ramona, that reaction now seems fully justified. He just doesn't get it and this time, that inability of his had real consequences. 

I might be bias... but I'm sorry. I can't be mad at him or say that this isn't consistent with who he is today. All I've learned from this is that he needs Amy more than I thought he did.

@kazzie..that's such a sweet photo..I love it!

Really, that was so out of the left field, and it's not even a feature that can impress Sheldon (or Amy, on that respect...); weird thing! Now that I love Molaro again, though (LOL!), I'm really looking forward to some more articulate interviews over the finale and all the season as well. It has been a season of changes for the show, with Halley, the LA, Shamy proposal, I'd love to hear from tptb finally. Let's hope that the writers strike doesn't prevent that to happen....

And now I have joined the club, out of likes as well lol.

Yeah some of the things it sounds like he does he wouldn't at all do for anyone. But it sounds like they were just trying to repeat that theme from season 2 that she got him to do some unusual things and they of course need to come up with material for that. Molaro must have been smoking some good stuff with that olympic swimmer thing lol.

I mentioned about them protecting Sheldon but totally didn't mention they were protecting Amy as well and the Shamy relationship. Thanks for reminding me those posters!

I wasn't a big fan of the gang during the breakup, the lack of heart at the time. Perhaps they underestimated the love in that relationship and it took the breakup and seeing them both so down and heartbroken made the realise this? It's a stark contrast their actions in this episode compared to some of their ambivalence back then.

The Shamy miss you skype scenes should be fantastic. You realise this the second time they have had sex in their relationship and they are skyping the following episode? 9.12 with the asteroid and now 10.24. Amy looked so happy in 9.12, I remember we called it post coitus glowing lol. Wonder if she is like that in 10.24? LOL.

They should be fine in 11.1 but I think Sheldon has to tell her that Ramona made a pass at him. This might lead to Amy questioning the timing of the proposal, but a heartfelt conversation with Sheldon expressing his feelings and why he wants to get married will fix that imo.

Oh and Mayim will surely be back with that cliffhanger ending.

Thank you, Kazzie! You are soooo cool.

I wonder if Ramona kissing him made Sheldon realize that someone could just as easily do the same with Amy. Like it's some sort of proof that there'll be people who won't respect their commitment and try to steal the other away? That's why he was shocked and went to her right away. Or maybe it also brought the image of someone else kissing Amy to his mind or the memory of that you know and it made him come to terms with the need to "seal the deal" so to speak with her and declare to everyone in that way that they belong to each other and no one else.

Oh, I like that bit about Sheldon not being very pleased that Leonard called Amy at such a late hour. He's adorably,  cluelessly possessive, is he not?
