Breathing and talking into someone's face during a kiss? That would never have happened last season. Morelo has successfully deconstructed Sheldon and no one cares. The show has been lost to mediocrity and Amy's scenes are quite often the best of a bad bunch because they care about her character and are sympathetic to her. There is no longer any sympathy for Sheldon. It's difficult to even imagine why she dates him.
I'm just waiting for the next scene where Penny and Sheldon get to be alone again. It's the only thing worth watching on the show. They never do any real nerd culture anymore, unless they are making fun, or using it to further a relationship.
This New!Sheldon is not even the same character from seasons ago, hell even last season. So is Fowler "dating" him for who he was, quirks and all, or for this new cartoon flopping around? Any person that is a fan of this show, especially the older seasons, will see the OBVIOUS abrupt changes to all of these characters. At what price?? To what end?? This show is Two and a Half Men all over again. (The Shenny bait and switch tells me tptb know that it's still the better part of the show now, even if they are condescending to each other.)
And to think, the so called "best" part of this episode is having Fowler whine and make snide comments to her friends and boyfriend. I will not be convinced that Shamy is some breakthrough romantic...whatever it is; I don't care how much Fowler forces Sheldon to play kissy-face with her.
Since when does the AFF character become the focal point of this show? It's a daggone shame. It really is.
