I'm sorry, I'm meant to be writing my bloody book aren't I....DAMN these forums!

THIS ^ THIS. I find it extremely difficult to believe that Sheldon would give one wit about the opinions of a bunch of yokels in a diner. I'm far less of a nerdy genius than Sheldon, and yet every year I go to the Renaissance Fair in costume and then go out to eat afterwards IN COSTUME and I don't give a rat's ass if people are staring at me. I'm just like, "That's right, I'm a Renaissance princess. Deal with it, bitches." So if I don't have a problem with my geekiness, why on earth would Sheldon, the Homo Novus? It's just soooooo OOC!

Summarising perfectly the complete lack of disregard that the writers have for their characters. I just do not understand how the show could plummet so rapidly from perceptive to insensitive...

Knowing our luck, the writers will make James Earl Jones say to Sheldon, "What are you doing chasing after me, young man? You should be at home with that nice girlfriend of yours sucking face." 
(Sorry, I'm a bit paranoid, given certain spoilers).
I will lose it if TPTB use James Earl Jones or Carrie Fisher to push the Shamy or Lenny for that matter.

We STILL have a week to find out. Always such a long break this time of year. How dare the actors and crew take a breather.

What's wrong with nine-fingered banjo playing? Dear god that sounds like a euphemism...
There will be plenty more where that came from soon enough, although not nearly enough sedatives available once the squeeing begins.
Making an asexual character develop desires was going to be a big enough stretch as it was before you even take into account their choice of seductress. Is that hell bells I hear? It's almost as if they dislike him intensively. *sigh*

Thanks for posting.
Not sure how funny this looks from the promo though. It reminds me a little of the Transporter episode with Leonard Nimoy. Which was disappointing, sadly. I'm a big Star Trek fan as well. Also, Sheldon with a life size Teddy? He's a toddler once more and this is my least favorite depletion of our hero. But we'll see, it doesn't show much.
Sorry, bit off topic but I just imagined Sheldon designing his own superhero costume, Doctor Novuso. It would be purple with an atom on the front.

Unfortunately, TPTB have a habit of getting great people to guest star and not following through. They figure just having the person on is enough to draw in viewers(and it is) so they don't put much effort in that storyline. We will see, maybe it's funnier than it looks. I am with you on Sheldon as toddler, enough already.
Oh wow, oh wow, what an adventure.

Yes and what is Sheldon going to do with an over-sized teddy bear? It's not like it's a collectable.
But as you wrote, it might be funnier on the night. He's hoping.
