9.13 The Empathy Optimization

[Tuesday Pajamas]

By TBBT-Faves

Note the desparate attempt by the writer to label Penny's affection for Sheldon again? 'Maternal" care! As if Sheldon would use those words. These characters are just imposters, marching through the old seasons trying to 'set the record straight'. There is absolutely no need for a Sheldon apology over Adhesive Duck. The episode had everything...

His reluctance, his dressing her, his terrified driving scene, their intense banter at the hospital where he drives her nuts, his putting her to bed and then singing Soft Kitty in a round.

"You know, people think you’re this weird robot man who’s so annoying all the time, and you totally are, but then it’s like that movie Wall-E at the end. You’re so full of love, and you can save a plant and get fat people out of the floaty chairs."

Sheldon: "That’s a fairly laboured metaphor, but I appreciate the sentiment behind it."

All the best Shenny eps had a conclusion between Sheldon and Penny. In Panty he actually apologises to her face. This is years before the 'great' apology scene to Amy and this so called Apology Tour.
