Wishful Thinking...

Alright lads and lasses/ladies and gentlemen, time-wasters, aliens...
THIS IS YOUR MODERATOR SPEAKING. (one of the militant feckers anyway)

As we're all apparently excessively wordy bastards, and prone to rambling away wherever the fancy takes us, I think we have to make a modicum of effort to keep these threads in line.

There are three threads in the Mint in Box Forum, and they've all devolved into variations of "Isn't the show bloody terrible nowadays."
Yes it is. Mostly. And in some areas it's horrendous.

Moonbase has started a thread specifically to carp on this matter, so we should ATTEMPT to go there when we have our bitchy pants on. Or to the guarded by snakes arena, obviously.

Witchdoctor started this thread to discuss hypothetical futures and variations, which is a wonderful idea. Sheldon as a Private Detective, a Super Villain, a brain in a jar, Sheldon as the memory of a swan, whatever, anything but canon discussion. Don't we all get ENOUGH of that?

Let's attempt to honour the characters' original conceptions without dwelling too much on the dispirited mockeries they've become.

Now if you don't mind, I have to go and weep into my hair-shirt...

Before beconming a forum member I had NO IDEA how easy it is to get off topic...

*Witchdoctor this is your conscience speaking... That Amy... You're not a fan of her, are you? Doesn't she annoy you? Hm? Now type about it. TYPE ABOUT IT.*

And hell yeah to Sheldon the Supervillain. I totally would have made Sheldon progressively more and more maniacal... Leonard's exasperation and eventual breakdown while he witnesses this would unoubtedly be entertaining. God I am so Sheldon-biased. It's ridiculous. Just Sheldon being a strange mix of nefarious, charming and undeniably logical in a room on his own would personally be fine for me in some episodes. I'd always thought it would have been nice to see an episode entirely from Sheldon's point of view, like his inner monologue or something like that. But watchers of this would probably, realistically, be exhausted by his train of thought after two minutes. If that. I've always imagined it being very stressful in Sheldon's head...
