This is again one of those moments where I ask myself: How can he not fall in love with her?
That's a question right up there with; Why would a woman whose first significant relationship ended with her broken-hearted over his "lying, cheating guts", marry another liar and cheater? Although I think I've answered my question...
Anyroad, the broader answer's the same; Sheldon's not allowed to fall in love with Penny, because Leonard's the hero, so she's written to marry him.
Despite the fact that in both cases their hearts and natures don't fit their actions.
Penny: You want to know the most pathetic part? Even though I hate his lying, cheating guts, I still love him. Is that crazy?
Sheldon: Yes.
Check this out! Sheldon and Amy - so awkward and weird. But this!!!!! It warms my heart...
RIGHT! Aww..this is great..
Hello, everybody!
Today and yesterday, there was by us on “Pro 7” (the channel where “TBBT” in Germany is on air) a call-voting, where the viewers could decide which character is the best.
Here are the results:
Character: Calls Percent
Penny 64 26,8
Sheldon 52 22,2
Howard 36 15,1
Another one 36 15,1
Leonard 30 12,6
Raj 26 8,4
Greetings from Germany !
Just an idle comment about something which bemuses me. I think it has been pretty well established over the years that Sheldon and Penny, ie Jim Parsons and Kaley Cuoco, have a hell of a lot of "chemistry" together (that's the word used over and over again). "Chemistry" between actors, at its heart, is simply an extra level of energy, an interplay which has a heightened vibe about it. It makes for the great pairings and partnerships of film, television and theatre. It is mesmerising to behold.
Now, staggering around social media, I've always found it baffling that certain shippers who dislike Sheldon/Penny scenes, for no other reason, it seems, than the "threat" they pose, feel the need to repetitively classify this chemistry between Parsons/Cuoco as COMEDIC chemistry, not ROMANTIC (or sexual) chemistry. The further implication (sometimes blatantly stated as fact) being that Parsons/Bialik have the latter type.
The problem is that this type of "romantic chemistry" that they're suggesting implies an undercurrent of genuine romantic/sexual interest between the actors that translates to their scenes. In which case...well Parsons isn't going to have that with any of the female cast, is he. If he doesn't have this "vibe" with Cuoco, then he certainly doesn't with Bialik either, by default.
So they've sort of scuppered their own argument...
(Unless of course they're suggesting that Parsons and Bialik ARE having an affair, in which case we're dealing with the fantasy-projection of some very confused shippers)
Personally I feel this distinction and classification of what is essentially an "energy" as either romantic or comedic, is rather ridiculous and arbitrary, and depends on what is being projected by the viewer. Energy is energy. Chemistry is chemistry. Two actors either have it or they don't. The point about Parsons and Cuoco is that THEY HAVE IT. In spades. Which makes them very watchable. That is all we, and a large number of people, are ever pointing out. And that if you're going to put Sheldon in a relationship, surely you should put him with someone with whom he has chemistry of ANY DESCRIPTION AT ALL?
American TV is almost exclusively beautiful people, it's not like that in the UK, we have normal looking actors as well. I find TV full of beautiful people extremely bland, there's little real chemistry regardless of their looks.
But I just bristled with excitement when I discovered Sheldon and Penny. They had real spark, something natural that you can't write into a script. The problem is, it wasn't in Chuck Lorre's and Bill Prady's plans. They knew the 'appeal' of those two attractive actors was enough to bring in the punters. So they stick them with some 'relatable' and supposedly 'plain' characters and they have a recipe for success. The perfect wish-fulfilment fantasy. In the meantime, something rare is just wasted because it got in the way.
It wasn't JUST the actors either. The way Penny is written... the sweetness that she shows others is a lot deeper and warmer than the other females and this is what Sheldon craves. Penny could also learn from Sheldon about using her looks to get what she wants from life. There's so much that works. People always talk about the sex as too much of an obstascle, but that's the same with any woman Sheldon gets involved with.
Personally I think its way too late for Shenny, some may disagree but I think they have spoiled it now. They could put him with someone inbetween Amy and Penny and that might work but not Amy.
