That would be nice to see.

Agreed. Ideally I'd like to see a handful of actual one on one conversations, just peppered here and there, but I'd be happy with a group interaction where one of them supports the other, or one makes a point of establishing the other is a friend.

I would love to see that.

Howard took Amy's side. No I'm not thrilled that there were sides to take, but when Amy wants space from a guy, Howard will oblige. More than I can say for Stuart.

I died a little bit at "It's called happy".

I liked him more when he was supportive to her later in the kitchen

Whimsical Elf

Yes, it was nicer later on, his reaction to Stuart hitting on Amy.
I didn't like his 'escaping from her captor' comments. It wasn't just him though - it seems like after all this time, they still don't understand the Shamy relationship and all think Amy is going to be better off without Sheldon.

Captain Riterra Smith

I believe he was just trying to make her feel better. Howard's personal feelings for Sheldon aside he was only trying to let Amy think she'd done the right thing, that she was justified.

smoguntia

seriously Howard? Is that how you treat your friend. Do you even care about Amys well-being? And that comment about finding her the "love of her life" isn't very toughtful either

Whimsical Elf

BIG disappointment, Howard. This is not acceptable.

I don't know whether to put this down to his antagonism with Sheldon or what, but I didn't like it and can't wait for the day when he has to backtrack and admit how wrong he's been.

Captain Riterra Smith

I don't blame Howard per-say I blame the writers for promising character development and instead regressing everyone's behavior to Love Spell Potential. And here I was hoping that of all people, Howard would be the one to offer good advice instead of acting obnoxious. Worst part is now Amy may or may not even trust her friends enough to talk about what she's feeling which we really need to know. She hung out with the girls and that didn't reveal much. Now I guess I can't expect her to open up to Howard.

I just realized that Howard was excited they would do a social experiment when they put the Quiz on craiglist. I wonder if that was Amys influence

Whimsical Elf

Ah! Look at her! Getting them all to engage in the social sciences.

Vanessa said she wanted to meet the person responsible for such a great idea (the puzzles) - was that initially Howard? Or was it Raj?

Whimsical Elf

I know a lot of people were upset with Howard and Amy's scenes this week, but I really liked the awkwardness. I just rewatched the episode, and those two were one of the funniest parts.

We also got a cute bit when Amy was laughing at Howard's joke.

smoguntia

Yes the little chuckle was cute

I wished they would have had something to talk but besides Neil Diamond they probably don't share much interests. And it was as akward during Scarvanger Hunt until they realized they both like to hear Neil.
