7.14 The Convention Conundrum

[CassandraElise]

Oi Pajamas, to clarify, Gripe "likes" episodes for reasons other than humorous enjoyment. Because they're unusual, or multilayered or a bit dark, perhaps. The Discovery Dissipation turned my stomach, but I still found it rather fascinating. Ditto The Electric Can Opener, the most painful episode of all, in my opinion. In the instance of Bakersfield, however, I merely appreciated not being smothered by the musty blanket of sanctified romance for a change, which S6 was quite heavy with. I also thought Sheldon made a spiffing Data, and hacking into Leonard's GPS was a stroke of villainous genius. The diner scene, however, ENRAGED me. For all the reasons mentioned above. Sheldon is meant to be PROUD of who he is for fucksake, and unswerving in his devotion to his various passions. It's what makes him stand out from the rest. The writers evidently just felt like knocking him down a peg, to make him "human". I tell you, humanity is a hell of a lot more things than being mocked and broken.

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

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!
