I'd rather they just end all Shenny moments now if in the end of the series it's gonna be Lenny and Shamy riding off together in the sunset.

They show has became too predictable and I know the writers are using Shenny to add an element of doubt. To spice things up and stop the canons being so complacent. I'm just enjoying the scenes because they are still the best thing about the show and always will be.

But I do get why the crumbs they are throwing at us don't interest you. They will snatch it back with some forced scene between Sheldon and Amy that they dare to call intimate. I know this will happen soon enough. But for Jim to admit he gets "most joy" from Shenny scenes (what about the spanking?) has left me a little giddy with happiness.

I don't see what's so great about her character that people adore about her.

I think a LOT of the new audience identify themselves strongly with Amy. That's why they go absolutely insane when anyone criticizes the character. They take it VERY personally. They/Amy are the homely misfits who have always been left out of the "cool" crowd. The Penny-types made fun of their looks and their clothes. That's why Amy went so overboard with her infatuation with Penny when they became friends, even though Penny was exactly the type that had bullied her. She was finally experiencing what she'd missed out on. Her fans seem to be living their lives thru her. If "ugly duckling" Amy can find love and happiness then there's hope for them too. It's really kind of sad.

Perhaps they do, or perhaps they have convinced themselves they do. I have a hard time knowing who the character is. They have changed her so much she could represent anyone. But maybe that's the trick she has become anyone and everyone.
