SPOILERS: What fresh hell is this? - S9

[Idle Miscreant]

I just utterly loathe that Sheldon's been reduced to this.
Whining about women, like Leonard does. Or like any other sitcom bloke.

Was it not possible to have ONE character remained detached from the thing that seems to obsess every sitcom, film and book character under the sun? Fucking ROMANCE?

There are friendships and quests and duties and passions and illuminations which have BUGGER ALL to do with romance. Romance is the most common thing possible, and it has been dealt with in every which way already, and certainly considerably better than it is on sitcoms. There is NO POINT in turning a previously unique character into yet another hoary old trope.

Yet here we have Sheldon frantically chasing around after a woman, like any of other lads. It's unbelievable. Lorre, what happened to your belief that Sheldon was different?

And the idiots cheer.
"Ho ho ho, he's just like us now! He thought he was SOO special, now look at him!"
"Sheldon has to learn to be a better boyfriend. Amy DESERVES it."

FUCK OFF.

This demented need to humble and humiliate great and unusual people is shameful.
