Leonard has become the most insecure, pathetic und unlikeable person I've ever seen on TV, seriously. He's so needy and possessive, you can feel it through the TV screen.

I feel that. Reverence is what I feel, towards him. I once wrote here that I was a little scared of Sheldon, but in retrospect that's not quite what I meant. What I mean is that something about him *inspired* reverence; something about that character demanded recognition, and I felt that long before I became an HQer. I am majorly, majorly scared to even write about him, I think carefully about every word, because Sheldon Purists know him SO WELL, and I don't want to get it wrong. That's a very real feeling for me, almost like a responsibility, a standard to meet, something to be upheld, to avoid giving offense by honoring that set of traits and that persona which were so definite. It's something I've been meaning to mention, and this thread is as good a place as any, I guess. What's been done to Sheldon is a violation, a defacing of something, a toppling of something, whereas what's been done to Howard is more like bullying, more just mean and senseless.

Quote:henceforth I would happily watch a show entirely featuring Howard and Raj. As a Sheldon Purist, this is quite unfortunate and surprising for me...
Quote:I had a terrible thought whilst watching this. What if we got everything we wanted from this show, everything we keep complaining about as lost, came back, and then Sheldon himself let us down?
