As a said, she's was Miss Treatment. Now she's Mrs Cooper and like to mistreat Sheldon.

😁 (Sometimes I'm weird.)

Her character has changed considerably. She has become very confident for a nerd, kind of like an oxymoron And at times she seems to treat Sheldon like a child by disciplining him. She still loves and cares for him but their interactions are different now that they're married.

I should have said 'mis treatment' up to the end of S8.

How is this mistreatment? She practically flew across his knee to get her spanking. She was laughing and enjoying it. Dare I say she wanted more? Not mistreatment in my eyes. Just having a great time.

No idea, I never said it was.

I wasn't referring to this at all when I talked about how I began to like the show myself when Amy grew a backbone (metaphor for finding and applying  courage or mental strength) which is a colloquial name for the spine, and rejected Sheldon's treatment  - or more accurately mistreatment - of her after five years of belittlement, disdain, disrespect,selfishness and inconsiderateness from him interspersed with only occasional sweetness.

If anyone thought a backbone was a backside ( bottom ) that's just funny. It produced some gifs. There are many languages spoken in this forum and I admire all ESOL speakers who post in English. I have many problems with the American language myself. A visiting American christian once gave me a book called 'The backside of Satan' .  I've never read  it. Say no more.

Dear Joyce, I admire your subtle sobriety in times of the approaching end of this comedy.
I would like to remind you of a great man of the cheerful guild who once said:

For anyone hoping for a Shamy spinoff, it (should) will never happen.

I don't know why anyone ever thought it would.  I can't see any spinoff working. This show is made by its ensemble cast,

I don't know why but I've started to not like Amy anymore. She is just always fishing for comfort and often controls Sheldon. I wish Sheldon still had his season 1 personality

I think Amy character changed the most, especially considering she practically joined the cast in season 4, so pretty late

I like the bloopers more than the actual scene of this They were so cute cracking up

On the spanking scene, I find everything about this scene including bloopers hard to watch and annoying.  I almost don’t consider this part of the show, just the writers having a brain fart.

The spanking scene was kinda abuse. To Amy it was a sexual thing and showing her kinky side. To Sheldon, it was pure punishment and nothing else. Go figure.

True, for me the only good that came out of that scene was Amy's reaction to the spanking. That was humor!

I agree  I think there are certainly more stories to tell with P&L, especially since they have been neglected for the most part the last three years. Some things off the top of my head are:  Penny winning a sales award, Leonard being offered a Physics chairmanship or a professorship,  Penny going on another sales conference and meeting her old boyfriend Kurt, P&L going to Leonard's 20th high school reunion, P&L going to visit Penny's parents in Nebraska or P&L going to visit Beverly in New Jersey (although I don't know why they would) or his father.  These are just some thoughts they could work with.

I always thought it would be great if Leonard won a science award resulting in him and Penny attending a formal award banquet, Leonard dressed in a tux and Penny in a gown.  Then as they drove up to the event the valet who took their car was Kurt.

I like it!  My idea was to have Penny attend a sales conference and Kurt is the bartender at the hotel. Of course he would try hitting on her and she has to tell him that she is married and to whom........ha ha ha

So many potential scenarios when they could have gone for a laugh with a win, without deflating Leonard or slut-shaming Penny. But that wasn’t the show they wrote and that wasn’t the show we saw. We saw what they wanted. It worked for them brilliantly. 12 seasons. 

*sigh*

Well, at least L/P are going out together (unless I’ve missed a spoiler). Still. I would have liked to see more of what you suggested.

@joyceraye, if you want to see a representation of the backside of Satan, try googling images of Tom Ellis as Lucifer (Lucifer Morningstar). Hehe. It’s not too bad. That show had some promise at the outset.

Let's just be thankful Leonard will never spank Penny

Penny don't get into that. Although, Her doing it to Leonard maybe doable. She did use the handcuffs on Leonard during the Halloween party at the Comic Book Store. It's a short leap from handcuffs to spanking.

And maybe after it ends a new Nebraska visit story? Haha 

Whoever feels like it I would like a new Nebraska visit story 😁, originally wanted to have one in mine but I have too much planned and no time to write that even as a side story (I do have something with Nebraska but it's different).

Actually, I do have an idea for one. That trip home for the holidays that Leonard paid for, but he didn’t go?

Maybe we should have a fanfic prompt thread? Now that there will be no more new episode there will be less sources of ideas

I don't consider four late anymore. But I think Amy was the most open to change. She had never had friends, never had a boyfriend, and then she had a chance at these things and ran with them. Sometimes too fast, but she's definitely changed the most for me.

Yes, that wasn't the show they wanted at all. They definitely stuck to writing what they wanted. As a historian I sometimes think of Nicholas II, when he was about to abdicate the Russian throne , asking  Prime Minister Mikhail Rodzianko whether it was possible that he had “tried to act for the best” throughout his reign, but “for 22 years it was all a mistake?" and Rodzianko answering, “Yes, Your Majesty, for 22 years, you fol­lowed a wrong course.”

I'm so glad we'll get to see Kripke again. John Ross Bowie is funny as Kripke. I'd love to see some real laughs.

There are so many ancillary characters we have come to love/hate/enjoy to see.  That we may have seen the last of Wil Wheaton, Professor Protron/Arthur Jefferies, Mr. & Mrs. Fowler, Raj's parents...it is all a little bit sad and heart breaking.  How wonderful is it, btw, that we have been treated to Joshua Malina as President Siebert in several episodes this season?? Mayim just posted something on her Gronk Nation blog regarding cleaning out her dressing room.  Still 34 days to go.  I'm not sure how I'm going to handle it....

I'd like to be invited to one of those parties for the very last time.
