Well, that's perfectly fitting, as it's not the same Sheldon either...
He doesn't talk, move, dress, think, behave or even LOOK like the spindly, hyper-strung, whimsical alien who first received that napkin from Penny. So how can there be any sense of continuity?
Jim Parsons' Intel commercial character is more Sheldon-like.
I miss vintage Sheldon dreadfully. Who here doesn't?
As we keep saying, the show can be brilliantly scripted, the acting sharp and subtle, the plots all Vintage, but if Sheldon isn't Sheldon then it all falls away into the sea...
For the sake of Nimoy and Vintage Sheldon, let us revisit that most splendid of scenes...Beautifully written, astoundingly acted. And the most VINTAGE of Vintage Sheldons.
(As for the episode, I haven't watched it yet, but I'm glad the napkin and who gave it to him was mentioned at all. So many Sheldon/Penny scenes keep being rewritten around Amy/Sheldon, I feared Amy had rebuilt the TARDIS she dismantled to lure Sheldon into her bedroom, and used it to go back in time, push Penny out of the way, and give Sheldon the napkin herself...)
