Season 8 Musings

[Idle Miscreant]

I'll admit I like that "Settlers of Cataan" scene, but the point still stands:

I loathe that scene with all my soul...Possibly an overstatement...Suffice to say it represents everything I detest about S5.

You've got your Howard's bachelor party, I've got Sheldon droning on unfunnily about erections. Everyone has their bête noire.

My bête noire of Season 5 has multiple heads; This scene, Sheldon getting his head stuck in a hole, Sheldon polishing the urine stains off Howie's belt-buckles, Sheldon sucking at basketball with Kripke (who has previously been shown to have athletic skill, btw), Sheldon asking Amy to be his girlfriend, Sheldon screaming like a little girl about the transporter, Sheldon putting the train in his mouth, Sheldon saying he's going to be a "mommy"....Essentially all of Season 5 actually. The only bits I liked concerned Howard in training/space. Otherwise Sheldon was so idiotic/rude/childish it was humiliating to watch.
I can't even bear the Shenny scenes ("We're like an old married couple" "A good wife would go to the store", Sheldon asking Penny on a date, being mistaken for a couple at the jeweler etc)...if Sheldon's a redneck yobbo, what's the point?

Presumably this should make Season 8 easier to hear about. If Sheldon's acting like an obnoxious, charmless, Huxleyan semi-moron, then who cares whether he gives up science in favour of coitus/matrimony with that miserable, complaining, burlap-sack of a character. Actually, his current personality is probably why she seems constantly annoyed with him. Or ashamed of him, or angry with him, or...
Jesus christ I need a stress pill.
