Nice summary April! 

Yeah some really nice moments between them in Season 4 and you see the evolution of Amy pretty quickly especially when the girls invited her to her first slumber party. I don't know if that was the plan by the writers from the outset but she was probably more robotic than early season Sheldon at first lol, perhaps they came to the conclusion to tone it down/tweak it a bit or that was part of the plan to get Amy out of her shell through interactions and experiences especially with the girls.

Enjoy Season 5! I said I was going to re-watch but I watched Seasons 1-9 fairly recently being a latecomer to the show so they are still pretty fresh in my mind. I have been re-watching Shamy scenes on tumblr though, they are all on there.

I was thinking about that scene, when I was portraying Sheldon in my mind. Thanks for the gif Carm6773! But the pants have to be more tight and instead of his superhero t-shirts he should wear a plaid shirt. And the bootlegs could be a little bit longer. The stetson does fit him, he has the perfect head for it. To sum it up,  I liked his outfit.

I agree.  We have a player here for the Tampa Bay Rays, Kevin Kiermaier (otherwise known as my baseball boyfriend), whose nickname is Outlaw.  Here's a pic in a plaid shirt.  You're welcome.

That´s what I was talking about! BTW this one and those pants would look good on Sheldon. JMO

I like his smile, he´s attractive.

He was part way there, in this scene.

IIRC, she pretty much invited herself.

Hey! *waves*

Just checking in to say hello and send some love to the Shamy fans who still hang out here  enjoy season 10 peeps!  x

And here is a Shamy pic to keep me on topic  

 

 

[April]

So then, evidently I have no life cause I managed to finish S5 of my pre-S10 summer rewatch already. Without further ado some episode reactions:

5x01:
- "For the record I do have genitals. They're functional and aesthetically pleasing." Why, thanks for that, Sheldon! I always forget which episode this quote was from cause it's just so out of left field. It feels like such an apropos thing for anyone who didn't get the memo in 4x10. LOL
- Not Shamy related but: UGH Raj! lol Love the Pamy! Also, "GEOLOGY ISN'T A REAL SCIENCE!" what an iconic scene! hahaha

5x02:
- aww Amy plays the harp! <3
- Amy is so matter of fact about his idiosyncrasies, I like that about her
- "Name your price" - "Kiss me where I've never been kissed before?" I guess we got that covered a few years later. lol

5x03:
- Amy just hanging out in 4A for no reason and freaking out Leonard is so funny omg
- ... and their date as well - Amy really is a delight! I love her so much!! <3
- Jealous Sheldon is so jealous! "She's NOT for you!" LOL poor Leonard! Come to think of it, Sheldon hasn't complained about Amy not being his girlfriend for quite some time now. And in subsequent episodes Raj and Mary make remarks about them as a couple and nothing from Sheldon. lol

5x08:
- Aww, Shamy are flirting over lunch <3
- AWWWWWW Sheldon is so upset about not being able to reach Amy.
- AWWWWWWWWWWW Sheldon comforting Amy is so adorable. These two! I always love their negotiation. I think by now we've successfully covered the list.
- And to top it all off with a livid Sheldon ordering the guys to get their women in line. The way he describes the cuddle as "an evening of harp music and spooning" kills me every time. Also, "snuggle bunny" OMG "Hey cuddles!" You know, writers, if you're still looking for pet names there's some great candidates right here. LOL

5x10:
- Amy complaints about superhero comics and calls them "lame-o", Sheldon counters that she's playing the harp "like that's cool" - get married already! lol
- Ah yes, those were the days when Stuart wasn't a complete creepy depressed loser and could chat up Amy and ask her out. It only goes downhill from then. Oh well...
- Oh man, Sheldon is so upset. Poor baby! <3 Time to step up your game, Shelly! :D
- Awww the RA! So then, how long did Sheldon actually work on this? Did he cobble this together over the course of the movie or did he have a work-in-progress document that just needed some final tweaking?? lol
- You really should have gotten a lawyer, Amy!

5x12:
- Oh Sheldon, successfully ruining date nights since 2012! Sigh.
- And then he goes and buys a tiara of all things. The whole tiara scene with Amy is just GOLD!! This comedic masterpiece - give Mayim all the awards!! LOL
- And kiss #2 has landed! YAY! Sheldon's "You were right, a tiara was too much." is the icing on the cake. Like, I imagine Penny arguing he should pick something small like a cute bracelet or necklace but no, he insist it has to be the effing tiara!

5x14:
- FUN WITH FLAGS!!! LMAO their "acting"! These doks. <3
- Later Sheldon composes a list of possible episode titles: Flages of our Father's Grandmothers, A Flagment in Time, Flagship Stations, Lord of the Flags: Name the Flag's Dictator, Keep your Flags close and your Foes closer, Make up your mind already: Flags of the Soviets, Red White and YOU! lol
- "Guten Tag, das YouTube! Ick bin ein Bavarian" lmao Sheldon, your German needs work.

5x16:
- Aww, they work together. lmao Sheldon is such a whiny pissbaby sometimes. "Biologists are mean." lol
- I love how Amy just owns him when he wants to do something more "challenging". And her insistance that he properly apologise. You gotta stand your ground with Sheldon, Amy!

5x18:
- Girlfriend/boyfriend sing-along night! <3
- technically their first sleepover, right?? lol

5x19:
- Oh Sheldon, successfully dodging relationship duties since 2012! Sigh.
- Kick his ass, Amy!

5x23:
- Yesss, Amy, get him with your neuro-biological bag of tricks. lol Sheldon's "oh shit" face after the "We should do this more often!" always cracks me up so much. Can we infer that their date nights did indeed go up between this and S8 and that this is the reason? (earlier: once a month, S8 premiere: during his 45 days trip Sheldon missed "a number" of date nights which sounds like a lot more than just one or two)
- "... when suddenly the particles morphed into an image of Amy's dandruff gently cascading down onto her pale, slightly hunched shoulders." Wait... did you imagine her naked, Sheldon?? lol "What has that vixen done to me?" What indeed, Sheldon. What indeed!
- "We're playing doctor - Star Trek style! ;)" LOL

5x24:
- Amy in her dress complete with the tiara SQUEEE
- I love the Howardette wedding. <3 (Man, this rewatch really got the Howardette shipper in me going! lol)
- Awwww the hand-holding!! <3

General thoughts and observations:
- Things are getting a bit more serious for our lovelies and they are promptly straddled with typical relationship problems! Oh dear. This is admittedly the least favourite part of the writing for the show and it certainly doesn't help that this will just go on and on.
- On a positive note though it does set some developments into motion. For starters, of course, the cautious acknowledgement that they have affectionate feelings for each other that go beyond the initial "girl/friend/boy/friend" phase, not that they would verbalise that to each other yet, but it manifests in various ways.
- For Sheldon it's often in form of jealousy and possessiveness and naturally it's bubbling up again during S9's breakup arc. But he's also realising that Amy is making him happy (intentionally! how dare she!! lol) and her kindness does indeed work to make him more affectionate towards her. And I guess that will continue to scare the shit out of him for quite some time cause it's cropping up again every now and then.
- For Amy it seems she's at first into the idea because alongside with having girlfriends now having a boyfriend as well is just her younger self's high school dreams coming true. And so she has moments when she seems to be a bit naive about Sheldon and their relationship but she's learning the robes of that in good time. I always love it when she stands up for herself cause IMHO that's the only way to deal with Sheldon when he's having one of those, say, "difficult" moments.
- Despite some issues I love how the show still emphasises their similarities. Most notable of course with the new hobby FWF and apparently having sing-along nights now. lol And there are other areas as well. Like, for all that Sheldon was a selfish ass plenty of times during the season Amy surely has those moments as well, especially when she makes Howardette's wedding all about herself.
- Another thing that kinda surprised me in hindsight is that while obviously there's no casual sex early in the relationship like it's been with the other couples there was a lot of casual "pretending to have sex/talk about sex/etc." stuff in S4 which seems to have been mostly dropped by S5. It makes me wonder if that was one of those situations where they thought: "Okay this Amy character works and we'll make her Sheldon's gf. Let's see, we have until S7 and maybe more now that we're in syndication, how about we slow this down a bit!?" You know, like, while they weren't an item officially this whole pretending stuff was all fun and games but once they were a couple having their interactions centre around make-belief sex would lead to them being more intimate than they (the writers, Shamy, take your pick) were ready at that point - we only get to that another season down the line.

Speaking of which, S6 here we go! :D

It did need to be the tiara.

Anything less impressive, wouldn't have had the same impact, when she wore it in subsequent episodes.

[Jonny]

The tiara scene was genius, whoever came up with the idea deserves major kudos. It allowed them to use it in other scenarios and it's somewhat iconic, fans will always remember from the moment she was given it and her reaction to receiving it to the hopeful moment when she walks down the aisle wearing it at her wedding. The tiara is one of the main reasons why I really want a proper traditional style wedding for Shamy with Amy feeling like a princess.

Amy's Tiara even features in TBBT Monopoly game.

Just cause I loved this episode so much:

 

[Jonny]

Yeah it's funny when Sheldon comes out with stuff like that.

Reminds me of that scene in an episode when he is having his hair styled by Penny, Sheldon sees it and says he could be in a scientific boy-band. Amy comes in saying something like what did you do to Penny and she doesn't want other girls seeing him like sex on a stick and Sheldon says she's right I'm too hot.

When his hair grows out a bit: "I can't help it, I feel like a teen heartthrob!" LOL

I love that tiara, I agree that was the perfect gift Sheldon could have come up with; the whole idea was genius and it has become a symbol for Shamy. I admit one of my worst case scenarios during their break up was Amy returning the tiara to Sheldon, had she done that, I would had given up all my hopes for their reconciliation...

BTW, it's been a while since we haven't seen the tiara, if I remember correctly last time was in  Season 7, when the girls decided to go to a tea-room.I agree that Amy has to wear her tiara at their wedding, but in the meantime, maybe it suits her maid of honour dress at Lenny's redo. It's time for Amy to take that tiara out of her jewelry box!

YESSSSS, I'm also hoping to see it again for the wedding redo at the beginning of S10! <3

I want to see Amy wearing the tiara again, ONLY in her wedding!

[Soopysue]

April - thank you, it's like I'm watching the seasons with you !!! 

I can remember all the scenes you describe and it makes my Shamy heart swell  

On a side note.....thoughts on how ep 1 will go in season 10 anyone ?? 

Obviously sone sort of Lenny redo.

Im hoping a bit more with Mary and Alfred and the guys realising they'd be stepbrothers haha !!

but our cute couple ?? I'd like some slow dancing !! , maybe with Lenny away for a night in a hotel to celebrate , Amy takes Sheldon home, in for a cup of tea...leads to a make out session on the sofa ( I keep visualising Amy pressed into the corner - with a very keen Sheldon leaning into / onto her .....and someone " walking in " on them, cue a flustered Sheldon ) cut to morning in kitchen in PJ's or pillow talk ????......wishful thinking ?!!

If you think about it the last 3 eps of season 9 hadn't much Shamy, we must be due more !!  

Oh is the hiatus over yet ??

I'm expecting a quiet couple of first Season 10 episodes for Shamy, though perhaps some nice moments between them at the re-do (writers please don't use that Sheldon play with phone gag you used in the last episode). Amy may play a bigger role if there is a spectacular blow up over a possible Alfred/Mary hookup perhaps as some kind of mediator.

I am confident we will get some major progress on the Shamy front this season, perhaps not early but it will happen.

And we don´t have to forget the plot about Howardette baby. May be SHAMY will have a nice part in  it.

Maybe, I guess it comes down to the writers and how much they want it to dominate the season. I would be happy to see a fairly heavy Howardette baby storyline arc that influences other story-lines around it as it could provide some interesting scenarios and discussions. My money would be on Raj being the one most influenced by that ongoing storyline but there could be some interesting interactions and side effects with Shamy.

What if Amy gets a little broody? She's probably at the age where she is considering having children at some point. Sometimes having a close friend having children can put your life into perspective either creating a longing for a child or may even have the opposite effect and put someone off. Impending motherhood for Bernadette could create some interesting conversations between Shamy for sure.

Sheldon can be an ass we all know it, but he does have a caring side as well that does show up big time when it's really needed. I am going to be interested to see how the Howardette baby storyline plays out and how Sheldon reacts to it.

Excitement is building for Season 10 for sure, not long now til we get to hear some rumors about story-lines and actual tapings!

[rachelshamyfan]

At the moment I'm not excited about the new season, idk why, usually by now in the past I am going crazy with anticipation, maybe its because shamy finished the season in a pretty good place and plus I've been busy but not long to go now
