I thought it was one of those episode where it could describe Sheldon as the perfect villain. Forget about this petty arrogance and complete lack of self-awareness, this is the stuff that makes "villains".

Not really, you have to go and experience the whole thing.

" the place where he is able to indulge his feminine side"

I think the writers want the audience to side with Amy.

The disparity here is that this idea stays mostly as an idea. I always painfully emphasise on the "show us what you tell us" deal. In my own personal opinion, I saw more this exact same thing you are describing in season one to three Sheldon than the current one.

You are one of the few that sees this. Everyone is saying how he is "growing thanks to Amy" but the writers actually regressed him to pre-Leonard characterisation.

I also thought it was funny (and very cute) except the kitty in a cup and woman giving birth one. Those were just pulling it.

How do you imagine that would go like?

Sheldon is as his worst with her so I don't see this opening up and being receptive kind of stuff. She is disillusioned exactly because she hasn't "achieved" anything to make him grow as a person.

I don't understand why the writers insist on writing Sheldon so awfully when he is with Amy. Really even with the others he is not like that, not *as* awful. And it's enhance because expectations differ from his friends and his girlfriends, just makes make it look worse.

Nailed it.

"The second episode put some serious strain on his relationship with Penny and Leonard, and this week, he alienates Amy, Bernadette, and Howard all at once."

But she has shown pretty blunt derision towards his likes before. I didn't think it was as bad as Oliver made it out to be (the whole major victory thing just sounds really horrid, and not something Amy would do), but the way she said it I was pretty sure it was just not for the sake of expressing her otherwise honest…

I don't think you need to have mommy problems to see through that though…

Sheldon was panicking about loosing the only person that was a full commodity to him.

They were never compatible. Their relationship has always been like this, except Amy wants more and Sheldon is going at the pace of a slug. She seems to be wanting more than what he can give. The difference are notable just in Amy wanting more, but it has always been the same dynamics between them. If anything, he…

I don't see what's wrong with Penny calling out Leonard for his emotional manipulation. Taking advantage of Penny's sympathy to get sexual favours is only bested by his mother's behaviour.

I often just end up reading very few of the comments here because discussion about things said in the episode makes up for most of the comment section here, and the only thing I remember ever watching/reading of the like is the last Batman movie.

That's just shitty character consistency.

1. Diminish Penny's intelligence. Yes.
2. Reference of Leonard's childhood. Yes.
3. Raj looking for girls. Yes.
4. Stuart being a mess. Yes.
