SHAMY WARNING: 9.11 The Opening Night Excitation

[Tuesday Pajamas]

I haven't watched anything from this episode, but I've been looking at comments on facebook, and 90% of the positive comments are all about how "wonderful" it is that Amy finally got what she wanted. It's so absolutely infuriating. What about what Sheldon wants? He clearly didn't WANT to do the deed, but he felt obligated to do it in order to keep his "twu wuv" from dumping him again. How is that romantic? How is that healthy? And how can so many people not see how absolutely disgusting and sexually abusive this relationship is? 

They see only Amy, not him. The show is written from her standpoint and has been for a long time. The audience sees Sheldon through her eyes and how it effects her is how he is measured and how people 'feel' about it. Sheldon is NOW a half-man. He's telling the story of a sad unpopular girl who found a hard to match guy and moulded him to be her own. Sheldon is a vehicle for Amy, we are not meant to consider what he feels because he's seen as this awkward unreal character who only Amy knows whats good for.

No one remembers the Sheldon we loved. The mad, arrogant, head over heart genius is no more. I loved the way he mocked the world, how he mocked Leonard, even how he mocked Penny and this overtly sexual world. Sheldon was funny because he was so different to everything else around us.


Sheldon 'weeping' for humanity.
