7.16 The Table Polarization

[wellplayedpenny]

I also like living in the earlier seasons because there was so much richness to the episodes. The characters and storylines are so limited these days that there's little inspiration to work with and considering I'm a rose-coloured glasses kinda gal when it comes to the show if I'm having problems finding positives to walk away with you know the show's in the crapper. Even though I like 4th season Amy even I'm aware of her later transformation and the detrimental impact it had not just on Sheldon but also as she reflects the overall warping of the show's trajectory. Or to quit beating around the bush--it just isn't funny anymore. When I catch new episodes it's more out of loyalty to the characters, not the writers, producers or even the actors. In a way I feel like a faithful bard watching the last exploits of the hero. The sad thing is that it isn't an epic death. The end of the show will be a mercy killing long overdue.
