In SNL’s version of the I Love Lucy chocolate factory conveyor belt scene, Lucy (Gilda) was putting whipped cream and cherries on the top of nuclear warheads that were moving down the conveyor. If you can go beyond the chocolate candies, it’s easy to think of something that would be more in Sheldon’s, um, genre? Forte?
So, now a meta question for regular viewers on this Amy breaking up with Sheldon story line…
I think all who watch regularly get frustrated at times at Sheldon’s self-centeredness. Do you think that from this Reality Check/Slap in the Face that Sheldon will finally get the message that other people’s feelings can be important too? Would the show lose out if he became somewhat more adult?
I wonder how Sheldon’s mother will take the news. Earlier she would have been outraged at her son’s premarital sex, but given that she’s been making the beast with two backs all over the house with the guy from her bible study group, I don’t think she’ll be as quick to judge these days.
I kind of wonder about his supposed non-interest in sex. The man was a teenager at some point, going through puberty with hormones raging through. Surely he was distracted by various throughts and/or fantasies?
Yeah, but he’s been terrified of human interaction since he was a child. No wonder the lad is, shall we say, “confused” somewhat. I can’t be easy to reconcile his sexuality with the miserable life experiences he’s had.
I don’t think he was ever overly religious. Certainly he treats his mother’s faith with scorn. I think that’s the episode where Bob Newhart returns, so THAT may be a dream sequence.
I was REALLY hoping this would happen. Then when Sheldon slammed the door I hoped that Raj or Howard would run down the stairs after the girl. No such luck.
I’m glad they didn’t. Howard is happily married to Bernie and Raj is in a relationship with Emily. But yeah, my jaw dropped when he slammed the door in her face.
