Part 1:
Hello, dear „Shenny“-shipper-friends and nostalgics!
I want to say it right at first.
I am angry!!!
Yes I am!
When I am follow this topics, evolutions and events at the show then I cannot help but to be angry.
Angry, sad and frustrated.
(I know that I repeat myself in many cases, but….sorry, I am not able to say it in another way.)
For a few days I was looking at the net for “Shenny”-fanvideos. My laptop had a fault, so that it was playing all at silence. But that was not bad. When you see this scenes with them in silence than the tension, the affection, the attraction and this chemistry between them only comes clearer. It was nice,
but after a few minutes my anger becomes also much bigger, when I compared this times with the actually seasons . Not only for the “Shenny”, also in general.
Where is it gone? Where is this great innovative nerd-comedy of the early years gone? Why they must change it into this……well I have no correct description for it.
For me, the possibility of the “Shenny” was always bounded with the first concept of the show.
Nerds or nerd-like figures were no rarity on the TV-screen. The 80ies show “Riptide” had the character “Murray”, the school-comedy “Parker Lewis can’t lose” had “Jerry”, “Egon Spengler” was the nerd of the “Ghostbusters” and even the crew of the english 60ie SciFi- puppet-show “Thunderbirds” had with “Brains” a nerd-like member. But this nerds were only sidekicks. Figures of the second row, who were (with their smartness) only the helpers of the main-characters. “TBBT” made a step forward and let all characters (except Penny) be nerds. That was new and bold.
Because of this new topic and point of view, it was interesting and I was convinced that the series would take also in another aspects new ways. It was from the first minute clear that Leonard wanted Penny become into his bed. Howie tried it also with his crude kind and also Raj was not hiding that Penny makes him nervous. Because of the new approach of the series and the (apparent) ambition to swim against the mainstream, I was thinking that Penny (if at all) , with no one of this three would start an relationship (“because that would be so damn conventional”, I thought) but would turn to the one, who –apparently- had no interest. (You know which one I mean?). This scenes (“babarian”, “panty”, “Vegas” ect.) seemed to confirm this and the two came also closer and closer. But then they put them into this relationships who have-for me- no base. Emotional or logical.
(This “minus” and plus”-graphic that “Tuesday Payamas” had posted, shows it in a perfect way
.) Many people may it see in another way but I was always thinking that also relationships must have a ground which the viewer can retrace.
