Amy has shown herself to be straight (for example, when she swooned over Penny's ex-boyfriend), but also voices excessive admiration for Penny's physical allure. Maybe they could amplify this Amy trait in future episodes. Yes, preferably on cable or, better yet, a pay movie channel. Yes...and show her attacking the nether yeaha!

Although it's exactly the odd kind of thing he would do. But when you've got Sheldon and Amy in a scene together and it's not working then something's not right since those two have such good chemistry together. I thought Fun with Flags was hilarious!

The only thing I thought was funny is when Amy said "i'm surrendering to fun". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeddyRulz Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 QUOTE (J2112YYZ @ Jan 28 2012, 09:08 AM) The show has established how smart Sheldon is, so they don't need to do that as much anymore. The show became a hit because of him, so I don't see why dumbing him down would do anything at this point. I think his circle of friends and especially Amy have got him thinking about more things than just science now which may create the illusion that he's getting dumber. But I see it as Sheldon becoming slightly human and realizing there's more things to focus on than thinking about work all the time. Whenever you get a chance to re-watch the current season you'll see that he is still Sheldon. Good response. Compare Sheldon to Spock. Generally, Spock wasn't a funny character, but what WAS funny was when the logical and controlled Spock went out-of-character so to speak, and revealed his human side. (Example: his attempts at cursing in Star Trek 4.) It's the same with Sheldon. We get how he's logical and controlled; the funny thing now is watching him lose control and/or do something which "normal" people might do.

I'm two thirds of the way through the season 4 DVDs and that's what looks to be happening. It's great because his super smart, OCD without humanity type personality was starting to be tiresome so this human transition makes it more entertaining.

HowItIs Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Been watching since episode #1 (a show about my people? of course I'll watch!). It's really hit its stride now, IMO. The girls are a great addition and I think that Mayim Bialik should get an Emmy this year - Amy has really become an important part of the show.

furie Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 what i love about the show (aside from the geek references) is that it's now eveloved away from lenorard and penny to now being about sheldon and amy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeddyRulz Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 (edited) QUOTE (HowItIs @ Feb 1 2012, 03:38 AM) Been watching since episode #1 Ditto. I've watched from the first time it aired, as a summer replacement series following "How I Met Your Mother." I was hooked from the start. That first summer they kept re-airing the same 4-5 episodes over and over (it was probably all they had)... and I kept watching them! Today I think it's considered one of the hippest shows on television, but it wasn't always like that. Then, it only had a cult following.

USB Connector Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I'm almost at the latest episode. I just saw the episode where *SPOILERS* Sheldon has a fight with Amy and buys her a tiara *END SPOILERS* and I have to admit that his condescending attitude towards physicists and biologists is quite irritating. Maybe it's because I'm studying a similar field but because of this the show is losing it's charm that played on nerd stereotypes and occasionally had a decent science joke. I find that Raj is underused as a character. They need to give him a larger role. Make an episode where he overcomes his fear of women or something to get him more into the action.

I've read the writers never intended for Sheldon to have Asperger's so whatever traits he has are completely unintentional. So don't be too upset with them. I'm not upset at all. Like Sheldon, my kid can be an absolute riot at times. But his inability to read social cues and adopt certain norms makes it tough at times. The show doesn't reflect that part of it (and no reason that it should since it is a comedy). Nah, we love the show. BTW, the writers didn't intentionally include Aspergers in Sheldon but Jim Parson's has admitted studying it and using it to develop the character. He also read "Looking Me in they Eye" which is an absolute requirement for ANYONE who comes in regular contact with someone with Aspergers.

ILSnwdog Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Did anyone catch last weeks' episode? Don't read any further if you don't want to hear about the episode.... I laughed so hard it hurt when Sheldon told the president of the university that he should perform a self prostate exam...and he suggested he clip his finger nails before performing the procedure.

danielmclark Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 I LOL'ed for real at that line from Amy, but at the same time... I'm starting to get a little tired of the Amy obsession with Penny. Only because Penny's not oblivious to it anymore, you can see her reaction every time, and I'm always left wondering why she doesn't say anything to Amy about it. You can see it makes her uncomfortable or annoyed, but there seems to be at least one of those jokes in every episode now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
