Me, play devil's advocate! I just don't know where they would have gone with Sheldon. Obviously I love original Sheldon, but without intervention from particularly Penny, he would have been condemned to a solitary existence(buying a book on 'how to make friends'), and Leonard helped him a lot, until it got too much(like it did with last tenant). We are watching them grow up, become socialised, make new friends. He isn't Peter Pan! I just meant on a biological and neural level we reconstruct ourselves continually, we are never physically or mentally the same. Theoretical physicists are finished by thirty. I think some characters may seem similar, but radical changes happen in twenties. We've seen them go through rites of passage, markers of change(marriage is another rite of passage). So I thought that clip from S7 showed some of Sheldon, still remained. I haven't seen S8, I don't want to support them. I heard there's a new season of Community, good time to try it. Plus that Inside No 9 show I posted, dares to combine multiple genres, and I'm still thinking about it's brilliance.
