Jonny Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 (edited) The genitals line does sound funny and it is totally the sort of thing Amy would say, having a boyfriend and friends has opened her up a lot but she is still very quirky. Anyone surprised that Amy was seen with her harp again? I thought since her accident Mayim couldn't really play it anymore? Again another reference to Amy's quirks which is great. There was no way Amy was going to forget about the ring, she won't push at least not anytime soon to get it all resolved but I would imagine she thinks about it a lot.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Yes, I agree on that...In a way I think this season tptb are a bit returning to their roots. In the first part of S. 9 the show altogether was focusing more on "drama". I didn't mind that, I liked that they were experimenting new stuff and a new way to tell their story, but as a matter of fact Amy's character a bit suffered by that, both her science-side and quirky-side were neglected. Now in these first three episodes it looks like she is back up and front; she is as quirky as we expected her to be (not only in the premiere, but also in E. 2 and above all E. 3), she plays her harp (I'm curious too about that, maybe Mayim plays in "play back", but I hope her hand has recovered so she can actually play the instrument herself), she is the coolest girl at the university and apparently she will get a science plot (again, not over the moon about the subject, but still...) I'm curious about what's next for her. 1 hour ago, Jonny83 said: Let's throw out a hypothetical out there that I don't think will happen but which could be fun. 2016 is a Leap Year, going back several hundred years in Ireland and Britain there was this belief that a woman could only propose marriage to a man on a leap year, this was changed to a leap day but the original premise was that it was over the course of a year I believe. What happens if Amy gets fed up of waiting and proposes to Sheldon? What would Sheldon make of it? There could be some reference to the Leap Year historical context, Amy especially is into old English customs and references. I don't think it will happen as I believe that he will want to be the one who proposes and so will Amy I would assume. But it throws an interesting idea out there and for some fun discussion. I thought it could have been a very clever way to get to a proposal and I would have liked it very much, but before Amy knowing about the ring. Now it appears unlikely. Amy knows Sheldon will propose eventually when he is ready, proposing herself could mean not respecting his needs. Anyway, with those writers, everything is possible...

That blows a theory of mine : I didn't know the custom wasn't universal. I also didn't know it was a thing of the distant past, although it's mostly referred to with humour in magazine articles etc. Some close friends of mine actually carried it out in 1984. They also got married on a Friday the thirteenth. I had the idea that perhaps Sheldon believed the 'tradition' was a real non-optional social convention and thought he had to wait for the leap year to be over.

It started out originally in Ireland and Britain many hundreds of years ago (5th century Ireland if wiki is correct) but I believe it was also adopted all over the world (I assume there may have been some religious connotations involved). Women even now still do propose to men on leap year days, just to hearken back to tradition and old folk tales. Did you know in Finland if the boyfriend turns his girlfriend down he has to pay a fine, enough fabric to make a skirt? Meanwhile In Greece it's considered bad luck to get married in a leap year.

For the tapping reports shared so far of the 3 episodes tapped, there is a kind of sense of "old school tbbt" in the air, I mean, there are some scenes that got back to the original spirit of the show and the voices of characters seem more kind of "free" and genuine. I hope this is a good sign for more seasons to come. Edited August 31, 2016 by spidergirl1975 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judith Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 I wonder what Sheldon told Amy that was rude. His response to her was after Amy called his mom attractive and that he should get used to her dating men. Could it have been a comment about Amy dating other men after they broke up? It could have even beem unintentionally rude. (Just throwing ideas). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually Sheldon has no sense of rudeness, but he doesnt offend Amy in purpose. At least as if he wanted to , if I make sense with my words...

Soopysue Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Ok I've not read all your comments, I will though , I'm just in from work and lots has buzzed round my head all day - just haven't had a minute to write them down here !! I'm excited for this episode for a few reasons !! - the genital joke - hillarious , but also the writers way of reminding the general public where Shamy are with regards to sex - pos setting up again the - have they haven't they done it again theme for early season 10 ( I'll say again I think this will be addressed v soon ) , but sad as this may be I'm glad we know a bit more about what when on that night !! * wink wink* and I love that the chose the have Amy say something like that to Sheldon haha - very Amy, very Shamy , very Sheldon to be proud of what she said ! - Jelly Shelly - LOVE - Awww he's got it bad and is stamping his mark lol !! - the over zealous Amy at the wedding - Awww she really wants to be engaged to her sweet baboo, well who can blame her !!, after all the writers had them go through beginning season 9 , I'm glad she's so keen and I'm glad they had her think Sheldon would propose at such an inappropriate moment lol, it shows just how "Amy" they still have her ! I think we all love slightly inapropriate / excitable Amy - so glad she's not been *normalised * - whatever that means !. Lastly I think this again is a general public reminder that he has a ring , and it'll come up again season 10 !! . Yes I suspect they may have a couple of gags where Any & us will be thinking " here comes the proposal " and for it to be something entirely different !!! Then when we least expect it - bam proposal !! - Mary and Amy getting along and the writers again hinting that yes there is still room for growth and maturity on Sheldon and Amys parts , they can learn together ! - ok so I don't like the 3 in a marriage gag if I'm honest - you know what, I would like to see it before I judge - PLUS - the writers have a ( weird IMO ) fixation with 3 people in a marriage / having a baby situation - think about Howard, Bernadette and Raj - there have been plenty of gags about them ALL being parents together type joke !!! It's the way they write ! - To sum up, YAY for season 10, if all these hints are for what's to come ( pun intended ) it's going to be a fab season !!!! I'm not worried at all, in fact, I see Shamy being very Shamy and I love that, I see throw away gags and quirky writing and I love that too - cause let's face it its a sitcom and TBBT is the best ! The writers write Shamy so well, cause let's face it we love them, so I for one am going to sit back and enjoy the ride , and I'm glad you are all here to do it with me !!! X ps I typed this on my phone so who knows if it'll be readable , apologies in advance !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might also come across different depending on how upset he is by his mom and Alfred. Regardless, let's not forget that S & A are like all other couples (hard to believe, I know :D) with problems of their own. There's no magical switch for anything (9.23 showcased this). It sounds like one of those scenes that we have to watch to really judge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soopysue Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Squeeeee I just read the extra info about Sheldon saying it was weird the 3 of them living together !!!!!

2L344 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 (edited) Great opener for S10! So happy for Lennys out there, it sounds like the episode they shouldve gotten in 9.1. My thoughts: Harp returns, yay! Genitals--eww, TMI dude! Im sure Im gonna howl when I see it while simultaneously getting grossed out. Made we wonder if "rude Sheldon" remarked to Amy about the bandaids she had surrounding HERS after another bikini wax lol... Mary and Amy sharing a moment in the car, yay! Amy jumping the gun at what she thought was a proposal coming--awww poor gal! Funny and old-school Amy getting ahead of herself, something about weddings brings that out of her. Im shocked that she isnt wearing that tiara! The funny thing about Amy's excitement and probably disappointment over a perceived proposal is that I recall a few of us on here in S9 predicted the possibility that the writers might use the ring/proposal as fodder to squeeze out some laughs at Amy's expense. This might be the start of it lol. I hope not, I can excuse a couple of these in the future but it will get old and cruel (as a shipper) if it becomes the S10 running gag. Looking forward to seeing the season premier!! Edited August 31, 2016 by 2L344 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand, that is in a way something very sweet; in her inexperience, Amy can't think about anything dirtier to say about Sheldon's private parts than they are a "sight to behold" and in his inexperience Sheldon thinks that is a compliment people usually share in bed, LOL! As for the possibility of many bazinga proposals, I think there's a chance for this to happen some other time, but it won't be that often. I think it's very IC for Amy to expect something big happening on special occasions, like a wedding or Christmas (if they have a Christmas\New Year Eve episode), or VD (if they have a VD episode). But I don't think it will become a running gag; it's good to remind the audience at the beginning of a new season that Sheldon has a ring and Amy expect a proposal to happen anytime soon, but being obsessive over that without actually going for it might also upset the audience.

heres2U Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Good morning everyone! I'm going to try to comment on a few things you guys have been discussing while I was asleep! The harp - Amy was playing during the playback of the ceremony. I tried to see if she was really playing it. I'm not sure if she was, or if she was faking it. But it doesn't matter, she looked so lovely playing the harp in her lilac dress. When Bernie started the ceremony, Amy got up and sat by Mary in the back. The car scene - I want to soften what I said about Sheldon's rude comment to Amy. I can't remember what he said exactly, but it really wasn't that bad. I just remember him saying something typically "Sheldon." Mary was trying to teach her how to come back at Sheldon. It was funny, and just made Amy look too sweet. I loved the wedding ceremony but wanted to GAG when the three hugged and Bernie pronounced them married. But you may be interested to know that the audience found it hilarious. May have been the biggest laugh of the night! I'm sure the writers and producers noticed. I loved the little bits that show Mary and Amy really acting like mother/daughter-in-law. Sheldon really has sex on the brain. He was wondering about "despicable things" being done to his mother, his mother being "defiled" by Alfred. There was another line I forgot to mention. Sheldon was trying to talk his mother out of dating Alfred. This was in the apartment when they all started arguing. Sheldon said basically that Alfred isn't that bright, and we've all heard about his "lack of sexual prowess" (or something like that). He says "like Leonard." Of course, Leonard takes offense. You can see where that was headed! When Amy started to stand up thinking that Sheldon was proposing, it did seem that Mary knew he wasn't doing that. I wondered if maybe she and her boy had talked about it? With all the guests, it did seem like a big party on set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, lol! It is sweet and funny as they are so genuine as they speak about anything: even something that usually couples dont say in public ( or just dont think or say, lol), for them it is so natural. It is like shamy is and we love it! I dont think these bazing proposals will be that often either. Writters have been sometimes too slow or even a bit "lazy" in writting developing field but usually they come up with the right solution soon or later. Shamy proposal will be something to remeber and "burst" the tv show rating, as it was their first love making. I still trust them as I have trusted so far, even I have not agreed with everything they wrote about shamy or even about the others characters. I believe as soon as we know if the show lasts after season 10, the answers to some questions will come up. I have this feeling since what was said in Comic con.

I can picture Amy saying "Sheldon, your genitals are a sight to behold !" before or during sex. It is just one of the things that few people except Shamy would be caught dead saying, in the sack or otherwise .

Jonny Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 (edited) I can't believe we are having this debate but I could have sworn that once in one of the early seasons that Sheldon did kind of brag about his genitals being aesthetically pleasing or functional. I could be way off but if he did indeed say that and was given a compliment by Amy that backed that up then no wonder he was kind of bragging or satisfied lol Yep it was The Skank Reflex Analysis S5 E1: Quote Sheldon: For the record, I do have genitals.

Judith Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 I was thinking about the car scene some more.
