Sheldon to spurt cum right up Amy's vagina

An ill-researched point I sometimes make - and with which people sometimes agree so I keep saying it - is that Sheldon is not a character. That he's an incoherent combination of scifi pop culture 'geek' and hard actual science 'nerd'. Sometimes he's absolutely robotic in his failure to grasp emotion and sarcasm, and other times he's lapping up wonky science fiction without complaint and making sarcastic jibes.

He is a contradictory, shifting arrangement of plot/gag-dependent characteristics. Nobody in real life can be 'just like Sheldon', because the idea of Sheldon doesn't actually exist. There is no Sheldon.

Of course, I - quite rightly - haven't watched the show enough to know if this holds water. But it sounds considered.

You're pretty much spot-on. I do remember being unnecessarily pissed off by an earlier episode where Sheldon's doing a lecture and he tries to melt the brain of a heckler with psychic powers he's seen on some sci-fi show or other. Why would Sheldon, such an intelligent and rational scientist, think he can use a fictional sci-fi mind power to melt someone's brain? Why, Thomas?

Amy was a distaff Sheldon for about two episodes til they remembered how fucking good Mayim Bialik can be.

Mayim Balik has been fantastic in this for aaaages. I love the show and don't give a fuck who knows it.

Last night's ep was a cracker.

Juxtaposing  Sheldon and Amy finally shagging with the other lads seeing the new Star Wars film was a masterstroke and worked very well. The actual shagging was done with surprising sensitivity for a Chuck Lorre sitcom, too.

I enjoy the show despite dropping out of it a while ago but the whole series has been spent trying to make four nerds turn 'normal'. From Howard completely changing character and becoming a married astronaut to Leonard having an on-off/Ross and Rachel style relationship with Penny, the overriding arc is to make them all more conventional and smooth off the edges. Asexual Sheldon getting laid is just another brick in the wall.

Yeah, I think they quickly realised that 'another Sheldon' would be surplus to requirements, and I like the way that Amy has changed over the course of the last five series - it makes sense that she had a sheltered upbringing and had a repressed side that was bought out by meeting the other characters. I also like the way that Howard has changed, in fact he's one of my favourite characters, often being the sensible or reasonable one against some craziness from Sheldon.

I rather enjoyed it. Excellent use of Wil Wheaton and Bob Newhart, nice juxtaposition of the storylines...could've been a lot worse.

Merchant was great in an episode of modern family I saw a while ago, probably the last episode of it I saw, but he was very good in it.

Serge

I did enjoy that episode, and was glad to see a surprise return for Bob Newhart's character. Although as a Star Wars Atheist, I'm more than a tad jaded at the endless hullabaloo about it, and the opening titles gag - scrolling text in a Star Wars stylee is one for a 'jokes that have been done to death and beyond' thread - I agree that the juxtaposition of reactions was done well. And two actual moments that made me roar -

Not a hardcore fan of this show but I always felt like Amy was introduced too quickly to the character of Sheldon. I checked and was surprised to see she didn't appear until series 3 but I still feel the same. Sheldon being himself while everyone around him chased girls and had relationship problems seems like a good contrast and something that could have gone on longer.

If I had made the show thats what I'd have done. Save an Amy until the last couple of series. Dunno what I'm n about.

I'd have left him alone entirely, rather than sacrifice him at the altar of the unstoppable narrative that dictates that all people must be in relationships, even asexuals.

robotam

I didn't see this. Does he use his scientific knowledge to really make her cum HARD?
Does he do physics and find out the perfect angle to swing his dick at her?
Do we finally see on TV that nerds make the best lovers and that the girls should give me a chance?

He's never said he's an asexual, though - I know it was the unaired pilot, but listen to Sheldon here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jftzOTnB30I (and I think there was a bit about him talking about having sex at Comic-Con, but I can't find it). Plus, he seemed to enjoy the most recent episode a great deal.

I think it'd be more unusual to keep Sheldon single for a decade than it would be to give him a (frequently frustrating, often poorly matched) relationship. I think Amy should have left him years ago when it was obvious she was far more interested in sex than he was, but I've got no problem with how it's going now.


Serge

For the fact that they were able to have a scene a few series ago featuring a distraught Raj complaining that not only has he not got a girlfriend, he'll always be the man who got a girlfriend after Sheldon did, it was worth it happening.

The writers have admitted that they didn't quite get Sheldon right for the first 5 or 6 episodes. Although they toned it down in the episode that finally aired, the very fact that Sheldon would go to a sperm donor clinic is inconsistent with the way he usually is. There's also a scene in an early episode where Penny knocks on the door and all four of the guys come rushing to it like dogs in heat. 'Proper' Sheldon wouldn't do that.

vainsharpdad

Only one more series to go, potentially.

(Cuoco's subsequent descent into drugs and porn can't come fast enough for me)

I only dip into this now and then and quite enjoy it. The first hurdle I had to get over is the fact that Johnny Galecki who plays the young lovestruck geek seems to look exactly the same as he did when he played the young lovestruck geek in Roseanne.  He's forty this year.


Serge

I think Galecki, Jim Parsons and Mayim Bialik all look a good ten years younger than their real age. Bialik just turned 40, and Parsons is 42. On the other hand, Kaley Cuoco has aged incredibly badly. A couple of years ago, they did an episode that was meant to flash back to Leonard and Penny when they first met, and while most of the cast haven't changed, seeing the already-raddled Cuoco trying to pass for the perky younger version of herself just didn't work at all.

Anyway, the thing that I can't get over is how much Leonard looks like Morrissey the Consumer Monkey:

Galecki also appeared in the first Bean film, as the American daughter's biker boyfriend Stingo Wheelie. Surely his most accomplished role to date.

BritishHobo

Isn't their meeting already on-screen in the first episode? Or is it one of those Friends-esque AAAH THEY MET BEFORE AND DIDN'T REALISE things?

Serge

Yeah, it was a Christmas episode where they imagined what life would be like if none of them had met Sheldon, so it was a fantasy sequence where Leonard imagines just noticing her in the Cheesecake Factory. (Though, to be pedantic, they only started going into the Cheesecake Factory in the first place because Leonard had already met Penny and was semi-stalking her.)

Icehaven

One of the last Frasier episodes was just on, the one where he hallucinates all his exes and his Mum, and Leonard's Mum in BBT is a wholesale ripoff of Frasier's, her voice, hair, manner, being a psychiatrist and forcing him into analysis as a child, far too many similarities for it to be coincidence.

neveragain

Frasier's mother wasn't bonkers-mad strict and loveless though, she was always portrayed as being 'perfect'. Leonard's mum is more like any other character played by Christine Baranski.

Tiny Poster

Aye, Baranski's character is more of an archetype than a rip-off. Frasier's parents are painted as complete opposites who truly loved each other.

Nah mate. Rusty Griswold in National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation is his finest role.

I'm going to watch that right now to see if you're right.[nb]And because I've had it on my hard drive since before xmas in the hope the other half might want to watch it, but she confusingly refused despite liking the most recent reboot thing.[/nb]

Fair play, I don't remember that one. And yes, Frasier and Niles were named after her lab mice.

Depends which version of his Mum you mean. The one in 'Cheers' or the one in 'Frasier'.

Cheers, total cow, played by Momma Soprano



Frasier, lovely woman, played by Tom Hanks Milftastic missus


neveragain

Well, there you are. I haven't seen any Cheers episodes featuring her character. But that was back when his dad was dead and he had no brother (although that was referenced and rationalised in Frasier).
