7.15 The Locomotive Manipulation

[Trust No One]

Perfectly stated! The show used to celebrate the fact that the characters didn't conform and didn't really care. Sheldon didn't consider himself a misfit. He considered the rest of the world to be misfits who didn't fit into HIS world. And he was perfectly happy and comfortable in his own skin. Now he's become just another in the long list of befuddled romcom boyfriends. They've totally destroyed a wonderfully unique character. All in the name of "growth". And for me the bottom line is, it's just not funny anymore. I've seen the same schtick in countless previous romcoms. I'm just dreading the inevitable "Tonight on a very special TBBT, character X faces a crisis and the gang rallies around". Awwwwww. It's just a plug-and-play show recycling old scripts.

As for people on other sites, what you get from them is "you don't fit in", "everyone on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, etc loves the show so there must be something wrong with you". Don't they see the irony in that? They've become the bullies who push around and laugh at the "misfits" .

I take great pride in not fitting in with those on the other sites. The idea of being a robot just does not appeal to me.
