This is an excuse? After n-years dating him, Amy ought to realize by now just how much this film, and his other passions, matter to Sheldon. While he certainly doesn’t get a pass on his own thoughtless, dickish behaviour, I do believe Sheldon was lashing out not just because Amy picked apart one of his favorite movies, but because in his own idioscyncratic way he was reaching out to her for greater intimacy. The film obvously means a great deal to Sheldon, and in sharing it with his girlfriend, he hoped she would love it as well and it would become a common interest they could both share together, thus a new level of intimacy in their relationship that he would be comfortable with, as it isn’t physical.
It was kinda nice to see him in control for once. Penny’s worn the pants in that relationship from Day One. Though now, I gotta wonder if maybe he’s going to give her a ping pong set for Christmas or something…
I agree wholeheartedly!
Loser Stuart was funny for a while, but it is getting a bit old now. I remembered the old Stuart getting a date with Penny, as well. Of course, he was unable to “keep” her; perhaps that is what started him on his current downward spiral. That, and the fact that his comic book store hasn’t been doing well for the last few years!
At least he has Raj…
I do not want to imagine the homunculus that would arise from such a union.
The writers should have made Blossom one of AFF’s favorite TV Shows and let Sheldon pick apart any continuity problems in that show.
Assuming there are any continuity problems. I don’t think I ever watched an episode of Blossom.
It’s a sitcom, odds are pretty high that there are continuity errors.
Ironically, Blossom’s most common gaffe was the main character’s waffling opinion over whether or not she was interested in losing her virginity.
Beverly could still be frigid and merely indulging her husband. Or it could’ve just been part of foreplay and she was trying to get pregnant again.
Or maybe he’d just been a very, very naughty boy.
Except they would have been killed in a secret Nazi base that only the Nazi know about which would mean that new Nazi would eventually come back and then take the ark and use it to conquer the world.
While Indy originally wanted the ark in a Museum even he I think would change his mind about that after finding out how powerful the Ark is. No one would want something like that in a Museum.
Doesn’t the movie end with him demanding it be given to a museum after he’s witnessed it kill a bunch of people?
No, it ends with him demanding it be studied.
While we are on the subject of useless, in the Star Wars series, does anything an official Jedi does ever matter? Luke isn’t a Jedi yet when he blows up the Death Star. As far as I can tell, Lucas seems to be making a point that the Jedi don’t ever actually accomplish anything through violence. R2D2 on the other hand rules the universe.
Hmmmm.
I met Pepper Mill at a WorldCon.
I didn’t drink any alcohol all weekend.
i was under the impression that jones was the one who figured out where ravenwood was looking for the staff of ra. and the nazi fellow followed him to the location.
a) Boyfriends and girlfriends mock each other’s interests all the time. AFF was solicited and unmaliciously offered a rather objective point about the movie. How that could be construed as wrong, bitchy, or offensive is beyond me.
b) Bernadette still looks extra-hot this season vs the other seasons to me.
c) Penny was good looking but super trashy in that teddy. I’d probably go with Bernie in the bath.
d) Toning down the pathetic on Raj and Stewart would probably actually increase the funny imo.
e) On one hand, Amy has grown and Sheldon not. On the other, it’s up to the writers. Amy was changed from female Sheldon to a relatively normal if homely girl and it stuck. Sheldon though oscillates between petulant child and unfeeling android basically on a whim.
“So…what position did she play?”
Bernadette’s comment the other week that Amy could do better really is true. If only Bernadette had the ovaries to stand behind her statement as a validation of Amy more than as a depreciation of Sheldon. Not that these writers follow through with what they hint at but they do seem to be building to her recognizing that herself.
Sheldon more clearly Aspergerish, as he was earlier in the show’s run, was more interesting than how he is now.
Your point being…?
