There are few things more unsatisfying than liking a character that BARELY SHOWS UP.

I've been watching the old seasons of The Amazing Race and guess who is a contestant in season 7 in 2005? Brian Smith (aka Zack) and his brother.

No thank you.
Aside from which, I fancy Parsons as the rather insectile and haughty alien of the Homo Novus years, not when he's all swimsuit calender....
Never bloody understood why women who self-professedly "adore" Sheldon, like him most when he looks and behaves in entirely unSheldonic ways.
Sheldon as he iconically exits (ie, in the first four years and as responsible for the show's fame) is a thin, androgynous, asexual, devoted to science, yet these women want him bulky, traditionally masculine, romantic, and preferably having shower sex.
That is not Sheldon. That is Kurt. Or Zack.
The fact that the show is listening to the screaming ovaries of such women and changing Sheldon to fit their fantasies is the biggest travesty of art I have ever encountered on television.

Agreed. I much preferred Parsons (in a suit, the man looks good in a suit) before the popularity enema and the insta-gramming.
They are mucking up the JP/Sheldon tag with swooning about his biceps and ass.
I just don't get it.

So much for a 'relationship of the mind' with the audience regarding Sheldon--which is silly considering Sheldon is a construct *of* the mind and deviating from the concept means you're not really talking about Sheldon anymore. My philosophy is rough but isn't this a case of the 'Socratic 'chair' with Sheldon the ideal and watching JP doing his best Sheldon impression (and subsequently coming out with more and more inferior versions as the seasons have gone on and the characterization has deviated)? Man I so suck at the intellectual stuff.
Let's go exploring!

It is obvious that Jim's physique has changed over the seasons. He obviously works out, and they use the long sleeve under T shirts, plus his posture, to minimize this. There is always some cross over between actor, and character. I wonder if Jim is ever overwhelmed by Sheldon(he's such a strong, unique character)? Sheldon is a concept.

Well I know he's probably not challenged anymore. I spent a lot of time between seasons 2 - 5 as a studio audience member and during that time Jim WAS Sheldon. While the rest of the cast was teasing each other and jumping or dancing around during takes, Jim was completely buried in his script. There was no time to be a fool when he had all those scientific lines, general minutiae babble, and character ticks to remember. Plus he was the one least likely of the cast to break character or mess up a line.
From the taping Reports now it sounds like he acts like a frat boy at his first party with girls (sigh)
