SPOILERS: What fresh hell is this? - S9

[Idle Miscreant]

If you made it all green with a sliver of yellow you'd get a fairly accurate representation of the last 3 years, in terms of what TBBT is GIVING the audience. The problem is the original audience still wants the first pie.


NOBODY ASKED FOR FOUR COUPLES! Nobody wanted a random, unbelievable, "kooky girlfriend" for Sheldon. When is it EVER a good idea to give your lead, cynical, break-out character a "kooky girlfriend"?

Blackadder goes on "date night".
Withnail builds a blanky fort and proposes.
Sherlock gets married.
Bernard Black opens a tea-shop with his kooky girlfriend.

STOP IT.

I can feel every fibre of my being cringe.

The slow, relentless normalisation of Sheldon by his own creators is one of the most depressing things I've ever witnessed in art.
