Anyroad, this is all highly amusing. But what's going on in the fandom is ridiculous.
Remember when Intimacy Acceleration came out? (well duh Gripe) We'd all been happily wittering away with the early seasons, and ignoring Season 8, then BAM - ludicrous death threats from Shamy fans. We didn't write the goddamn episode. We LIKED it, but we also didn't ask for it.
Now here again...We'd given up on having any Sheldon/Penny scenes, and suddenly...
So we're watching again. It's quite clever.
But all the damn Shenny scenes in the world won't help if they don't fix Sheldon's character. It was oddball, alien Sheldon and earthbound, chaotic Penny we liked, not just any old combo.
Ideally, the show also needs more surrealism and experimental plots. And everything else in our (unoriginally titled) Wish List. An extended AU episode for example. Or interpreted entirely from Sheldon's perspective.
In the meantime, this will be an enjoyable visual, and as said, pull back in the lost audience, but alas it's only a dream sequence, and if it's not going to be pursued any further, then it seems a bit of a waste.
A delightful waste though.
It would be worthless if TPTB continue to not follow up on the Shenny. I will have no problem skipping episode 3 and beyond if it is more of the same nonsense.
