Didn't we say all this two years ago? Remember the 'decline of the show' thread with 4ofN? Remember how they swore the science content had not decreased in favour of the relationships? It was plain as the nose on Howard's face but they denied and denied.
If you take away the oblivious, couldn't-hurt-a-fly aspect from Sheldon he's in for some serious backlash. It's what protects him and makes the character important, for want of a better word.
They didn't think it through. As soon as Weekend Vortex aired I knew what was coming. It was too conventional, the long-suffering female, dragging the male to domesticity. Not that I have a problem with domesticity, I'm wearing slippers as I type, I just don't want to be bored by it. If I wanted that I'd just watch reality TV.
