Just wanted to say that I already am wishing for the good old days of season 5 and 6 considering the way the show IMO has taken a nosedive in the past few episodes of season 7. The mean-spirited tone is back, Penny keeps becoming more hollow-eyed, bitter, dispassionate, and dependent on Leonard, and Sheldon, where do I even start. All I can say is that I am shocked and confused by the sudden turn the writing for this character has taken. Sheldon willingly drinking and getting drunk, his failing at his job again and again, and his slapping Amy's ass and kissing her left and right while only a few episodes ago he still had problems even hugging people?
This is NOT Sheldon. All this is very OOC and is not consistent with the character they have been depicting in the past 6 seasons - and even in the beginning of season 7. Why did the writers decide to do this? They are destroying the character, stripping him of everything that made him "Sheldon" and denying him any victories. They are taking away everything from him: his quirks, his confidence, his sexual orientation, his intellect, his adulthood, his career, his dignity and his dreams, and are only leaving a couple of ‘negative’ traits such as arrogance and acting/being childish and naïve. I don't know how some fans (Shamy fans in particular) can be OK with all this and call it character growth only because now Sheldon kisses Amy.
As to what is going on with Sheldon and why he is acting this way IN the universe of the Show, I think either he is having a nervous breakdown, as others have mentioned, or Amy has doubled the dose of the drug she has been putting in his food and drink!
