I've let this plan slide somewhat as well. Quite right. We must get back on track! Or boat. Cannot see many Shenny's having the patience seeing Sheldon just going back to the same old Sheldon MG. I'm expecting to see something different and not a Sheldon that just goes back to Amy. TPTB have 3 years and they better start thinking up some interesting things for the entire show.

It generally ends with them triumphantly brandishing a ridiculously piss-weak little list of "science moments" from the last season, as though this somehow nullifies the fact that this used to be a show about 5 individuals, and is now a show about 3 couples. THIS x 1,000,000 You have summed it up so well. This is what I find so aggravating about the show - that they have ruined my two favourite characters just to make room for dysfunctional relationships. I am first and foremost a Penny and Sheldon fan - but fans of the current show seems to brandish all Shennies under the same label re we are just jealous that our couple isn't canon. However, if you look at the fans of the canon couples, they are predominantly Leonard and Amy fans who think that their two fave characters deserve to have the love story they have always wanted. I read a comment from a fan who was trying to argue that the Lenny pairing is a good one. He/She basically said that Leonard now has someone to love and admire him the way his family never did. As you can imagine, I was livid. What about Penny and her needs? What has Leonard really contributed to her life? Oh yeah he gave her a car, but I just see that as the writers trying to undo some of the damage that was done to the Lenny relationship in that episode when he did not support her decision to quit her job. I see the car as an empty gesture that does not make up for the fact that Penny is now a shell of her former self. The fact remains that Penny now drinks to excess, she has lost contact with all her friends other than Bernadette and Amy, and she has no prospects of fulfilling her dreams. And if someone ever dares to come to my face to tell me that this is growth, they will be asking for a serious beating. Remember when Leonard said that Sheldon had no personality before Amy showed up. I can't help but take it as a personal slight to all those fans who have loved Sheldon since the beginning. That moment stood out for me as an admission that tptb were aware of what they have been doing for the last 4 years. What's more they are not going to do anything about it because they derive sick pleasure from the ruination of both Sheldon and Penny. There is no way to reason with people who think that the sun shines out of Leonard's and Amy's asses. And so, the more I think about it there is no good reason why I should stick with the show anymore. What common ground there was in the beginning disappeared a long time ago.

The problem is that their idea of "interesting" has already played out. Any interviews with cast, writers or producers of the show concerning what will happen in the next season ends in a wry "Well, Sheldon and Amy are going to make an interesting development!" or "Leonard and Penny encounter some surprising bumps in their relationship."

YAAAWN! Scary what TPTB and actors find "interesting" I hope the interesting development Shamy make is they discover they are lousy together. You can bet there will be plenty of bumps with the Lenny.

RE: 7.24 The Status Quo Combustion - Tuesday Pajamas - 06-01-2014 Well I think I know what Sheldon has been doing since he left Pasadena. Let's hope he's directing his scheme in Steve Morelo's direction for all this supposed GROWTH. Shame the url leads to a uni site, I should photoshop it so it goes to HQ. |
