7.14 The Convention Conundrum

[Tuesday Pajamas]

People don't exhibit those kind of changes without therapy, traumatic brain injuries, strokes, medications, or writers that ignore all previous character traits.

I know it's a sitcom and can never be 100% realistic but some kind of indicator that Sheldon had to steely himself to eat from the same plate as JEJ's would have gone a long way to ease through these changes. A little pause or something. Just having Sheldon draw a big breath before he did it, would be all it would have taken. It's the little details they are not taking care of. It's their character so they can change him as they wish but show us, don't tell us.
