I always feel like a git when I bang on about Sheldon's changes so repetitively. We all know what I'm talking about, so why bother mentioning it? Sheldon's alteration is pretty much the central theme of this joint...I do TRY to pepper it with pleasantries...I did like the song immensely. I like the plots lately (sans the relationship bits). There's some very clever writing, as usual. I suspect it's because I'm plagued with my novel at the moment...more specifically, the necessity of keeping the characters' integrities intact, whilst I fling them haphazardly around.
It's just...you look at this promo picture, and you can clearly see the characters' personas. These are quite specific, well-crafted and FINISHED creations.
(The latter promo shots just have them all standing unfeasibly close in an insane photoshop with identical smiles on their phizogs.)
But the Penny and Sheldon you see above simply don't exist anymore. The others are still recognisable, but the cheery, irreverent Penny and the observing, upright alien Sheldon have long vanished. And it's deeply upsetting on a level that's difficult to ignore...
