I would love to see a major conflict between Mary & Amy but it won't happen. The Shamys are in total control of the show. Nothing will stand in the way of the "true love" of Sheldon & Amy.

I was just discussing with Toad how very much Mary is like a darker, twisted version of Penny. What with all the "When I was your age, you could have me for a car ride and a bottle of strawberry wine." and "Jesus would forgive her if she put ground glass in my dad's meatloaf."
They're both protective of Sheldon despite him "creeping the bejesus" out of them, but Mary is also motherly (for rather blindingly obvious reasons) whereas Penny is nurturing. Mary's met Amy, and seemed rather unsettled. It wasn't WARM anyroad. I cannot fathom how Mary, Missy or Meemaw would ever sit well with Amy, who often seems contemptuous of those with lower intellectual or moral standings. Sheldon's family appear to be rampant, outspoken individuals with a great deal of personal pride. I don't see how they would tolerate being looked down on.

The fact that the spokespersons backpedalled over the Meemaw issue strikes me as incredibly feeble and craven. They're your characters dammit, do what you like!

Yes you can bet your bottom dollar that Mary will appear and miraculously fall out of character and adore Amy. And to further drive the point home, they will bring in Meemaw for no other purpose but to solidify AFF's position. Am I cynical? noooooo whatever gave you that idea?

Wouldn't that be a sad day. It would prove that the writers were not convinced by shamy themselves if they brought in this character for that purpose. But then I don't believe they are anyway.

THAT or the Shamy's need the reassurance of the Coopers in order for them to feel as if Amy is fully accepted by everyone in Sheldon's life while there being a bigger chance of him never leaving her if his entire family ends up loving her. There was a rumor at Comic-Con about them bringing in Meemaw and the original idea was to have her dislike Amy but then once they heard the Shamy's groan in the audience they backpedalled on what they said and then mentioned about making some changes with that. So you already know what's coming once Sheldon's favorite relative cones to visit.

Well I hope the writers do as they please with this. They never listened to the shennys so why should they listen to the shamys?

The original idea was to have Meemaw dislike her, but I'm sure Amy's charm and can do spirit will change her mind within, oh 22 or 23 minutes.
