Ser Scot A Ellison Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 A lackluster start to the season but the most recent episode was quite good. Sheldon may be recognizing he waited far too long for Amy. Howard will eventually have to become a parent with potentially devestating implicationa when it dawns on him that he can't be a parent and a child too.Where will the writers take us?

wolverine Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Where will they take us? My guess would be improbable on-off relationships. This was a show about nerds that turned into a show about heterosexual relationships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Scot A Ellison Posted November 13, 2015 Author Share Posted November 13, 2015 Okay, I liked last night's episode too. Seems to be getting back on track.Bernadette is a scary woman. I actually now wonder, given her comment to Penny while they were stalking Amy and her date, if she will end up leaving Howard with their child? That would be a bittersweet filp on Howard. Forcing him to do what his Mother did for him. Either way I just don't see a long term happy ending for Howard and Bernadette.Has Sheldon really let Amy go? I doubt it. I'm really curious to see who will spill the beans that Sheldon was about to propose to Amy. Where do they go from here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really curious to see who will spill the beans that Sheldon was about to propose to Amy. Where do they go from here?Truth... As for Sheldon, I was half-expecting for him to return and thus provide some cheap comedic moment, but him sticking to leaving Amy alone was amazing. And it provided with more interesting opportunities to see these two moving on.Someone will eventually have to spill the beans... My money is on Penny. When it comes to Amy, it is all about Penny.

I want him and Bernie to end happily. Maybe Leonard-Penny get a sad endingAs to Sheldon's issue, maybe his mother will convince Amy. IIRC, last time they broke she was the one who patched things up.

Buckwheat Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Amy grew a lot since that moment with Sheldon's mother. I doubt she can be convinced by her now. Also, Sheldon's mother knows how difficult living with Sheldon is, and I am sure she likes Amy enough not to want to burden her with him. Yes, the mother loves Sheldon, but she is also aware that it is not easy being with him.Also, who would ask Sheldon's mother to patch things up with Amy? I am pretty sure Sheldon will not, and everybody else knows that it is better for Amy not to be with Sheldon, so they will not do that.I really hope Amy and Sheldon do not come back together (unless Sheldon changes majorly, which would be totally out of character) - it would be much better for Amy. Only knowing this is a sitcom, they probably will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swordofmorning Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 When I claimed last time that Amy will crawl back to Sheldon, I really didn't want that to happen. But sadly Amy did just that.And Sheldon rejected her!!!!So, is he completely over her??All in all, a better episode and IMO, the season is starting to pick up. BTW, when I said Sheldon's mom will patch things up between him and Amy , I was just kidding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbunting Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 I am so glad that episode didn't end like I thought it was going to. I had this feeling that Amy was going to be in a car crash and die or something.So unless Sheldon breaks down next episode and realizes what he did, we have to assume they are done for good.

Ser Scot A Ellison Posted November 20, 2015 Author Share Posted November 20, 2015 SOM,I simply do not see Howard and Bernie in a "Happily Ever After" secenario. Penny and Leonard, as the "front couple" will get that. And Howard is just an ass.I'm gutted for Amy. She hung it out there and Sheldon doesn't even know what he did. Can we stop saying Sheldon isn't an Aspy. His behavior with Amy makes it pretty clear he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckwheat Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 That was so odd from Amy. She must be lonely and went back to thinking about the only person she once felt comfortable with, but I really thought she was over Sheldon and realised he is no good for her.

Ser Scot A Ellison Posted November 20, 2015 Author Share Posted November 20, 2015 I think Amy genuinely loves Sheldon but is torn becase she wants more than Sheldon is able to provide. I really don't know if they will hook them back up. I don't think theyncan without major changes to Sheldon's character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datepalm Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Oh no they used that trick of dropping the laugh track when you expect it, ouch, wibble. (and I laughed at 'eat Sponge Bob' anyway.) That was harsh.yeah, i'm with Scot. She loves him and she genuinely appreciates what they have, she just also very much wants (and should want) more and there's moments when one of those is stronger than the other, like after a particularly uniquely pleasant day after a spate of lackluster dating of other people. I thought Sheldon admitting getting over her was a big deal and he couldn't just about-face and go back like nothing happened was actually a bit of growth though.Howard back to space then?

Ser Scot A Ellison Posted November 20, 2015 Author Share Posted November 20, 2015 Datepalm,It is true that Sheldon, even in the matter of fact manner that he used, telling Amy how much losing her hurt him is a big step. However, in his typical, fashion he did it in such a way as to imply there is no way back even if he did admit how much Amy mattered/s to him. He has a long way to go to catch up with Amy. She was female Sheldon in her first season. That's not her at all anymore. The pathos we got from her when Sheldon declined was really gut wrenching. She knows it was her decision, the correct decision in my opinion given what she then knew, to break with Sheldon prompted their current impass.Not sure what to root for on the Sheldon/Amy front.Part of me would really like to see Howard face what his mother faced.

Mladen Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 The way I see it is that Sheldon is growing and the last episode is undoubtedly the proof of that. Between "I am gonna propose" two episodes ago and this, there is a making peace with the new circumstances, something Sheldon has historically been bad at.The saddest thing about this kind of relationship is undoubted love. This reminds me a bit about how HIMYM handled moments like this (before that epic fail at the end). I feel for both of them but at the end of the day, as Scott said, they are progressing at different rates and simply, are at different points.But the question that remains is whether Sheldon is ready to give Amy what she needs? I believe so. He is growing and making steps. I don't think that he will ever be at the point Amy is now, open and ready but I think he will reach to the point where Amy will be satisfied with. And it won't be just that Amy will be settling for less, but the point where she has all she needs from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Scot A Ellison Posted November 20, 2015 Author Share Posted November 20, 2015 Risto,If Sheldon has Aspergers as I believe he does I don't think he is capable of being who Amy needs, which is very sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mladen Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Risto,If Sheldon has Aspergers as I believe he does I don't think he is capable of being who Amy needs, which is very sad.That may be truth. But, here is a deal. What Amy wants and needs that Sheldon can't provide? Physical closeness and commitment. The thing is that Sheldon seriously considered both of those. In Season 8, post-train trip, he seriously planned of having intercourse with Amy and the ring speaks about his commitment to their relationship. The problem is communication. Sheldon needs to speak at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckwheat Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Risto, I think his "I want to have coitus with Amy" after the train trip was just to make sure Amy was not listening to his talking with Leonard. As Sheldon is, I do not think he is ready to be more physically intimate with Amy and therefore is not able to give her what she needs. I am strongly in the "Amy needs to get over Sheldon and find somebody more mature for herself" camp.Re Scot's spoiler ... why the heck would they publish something like this? Unrelated: do they never lock the doors in that place? I know you like to see your friends to come over, but maybe, just maybe the time to lock them out would be when you are wearing a carrotish lingerie and twerking against your wife.
