Season Eight General Discussion
 

Thanks Heidi!

Well I'll start! (I'm just going to go by couple/ character cause its easier!)

Shamy: I really want a SIILY but I kind of feel we got that in his own way when he said I like you for who you are, quirks and all." Still, I'm greedy with my OTP and I want a real ILY from Sheldon. Also, I want to see some more emotional closeness between them. One day I want sex (obviously), but sex is physical and emotional. I want Shamy to keep moving forward little by little in the physical department (Genuine hug please!) but I want some emotional movement as well, like some more serious moments between them. I also want to see some more stuff like we have been getting: compatible Shamy and babkbone Amy. Also: AMY'S FAMILY AND BACKGROUND PLEASE AND THANKS.

Lenny: GROCERY SHOPPING PLEASE. Actually i just want to see some more domesticity and cuteness between them, but grocery shopping is just my thing that I need to see badly. I want to see the exploration of Penny's career and I hope that this whole tension between Leonard and Penny isnt about jealousy like it always is and I would be interested ti see something with finances. But most of all........LISA KUDROW AS PENNY'S MOM.

Howardette: Honestly I have no real aspirations for them at the moment. I just want them to continue being their adorable selves like they have been! Im intrigued to see Howard/Stuart and Howard/Sheldon because I really liked those scenes. Also Bernadette being awesome please.

Raj: i just want him to become comfortable in his own skin and realize that he can be happy with or without a woman. If they choose a breakup for him, i want HIM to break it off.

Misc.: NATHAN FILLION. Just yes. More Firefly and Buffy references please! But mostly Nathan.

Yep those are my wishes for everyone! I hope I got all the characters! :)

Starts in Australia tonight. Woot. :yay: :yay: :yay:

So after 5 episode what is your favorite episode so far, your favorite couples moment and your favorite funniest scene?

So far, my favourite episode is 8.04 in terms of humour; favourite couples scene has to be Leonard and Penny's "Hold your hand and do it with you" moment :love: ; and funniest scene ... probably the guys' discussion of how to get more kids into the comic book store. :lol:

Favorite episode is probably 8.05. Favorite couples moment so far would be Shamy being all cute in the car on their double date with Lenny (plus Sheldon eating a fry from Amy's plate). Funniest scene is probably the Back To the Future scene from last night, but Sheldon teaching Howard in the classroom is pretty up there, too. :)

Favorite episode so far: Definitely 8.05. As much as I like the couples and their drama, TBBT is first and foremost a comedy, and from that light, they were seriously ON in 8.05 - absolute funniest episode so far this season. :lmao: funny. I nearly spewed my drink at more than one scene.

Favorite couples scene: For cutest, I'd give it to the Shamy French Fry share or just all the cute Shamy smiling in the premiere. For most awwww-inducing, I give it to the Leonard/Penny handholding moment.

Funniest scene: Sheldon's "tense" moment in 8.05. I seriously need to go back and write down everything he said and memorize it. He had me rolling on the floor.

If you're talking about the episode last night, that was 8.05.

Thanks - I fixed it. :P

Favorite episode: Probably 8.02
Couple scene: Leonard holding Penny's hand in the pub(romance ninja strikes back)
Funniest scene: Sheldon teaching Howard, the whole plot

Fave episode: 8.05 Focus Attenuation, definitely.
Fave couples scene: not sure, but probably the Shamy double date/in the car. Or the baseball game.
Funniest scene: Back to the Future analysis.


Season 8 just started in the UK tonight, and it reminded me about the apartment flag - it was flying upside down at the start of the premiere. I like to think Leonard decided the apartment was in distress when Sheldon went walkabout.


Edit:I remember last season I was worried they wouldn't keep up the standard from S6, but then the first several episodes were brilliant. This season I didn't worry, but I don't think we've had the absolute best episodes of the season in the first few weeks. Don't get me wrong, I have no complaints and the episodes have been great, but I've got used to each season getting better! :lol: I feel like/hope this season might be one that gets even better as it goes along.

Just realized this week we have to wait a few extra days for this weeks episode.

It's HERE! It's HERE! :clap: Happy Episode Day! :D

yay :yay: - who will open the episode thread? :D

This thread hasn't seen much action!
Now we're 10 episodes in, what does everyone think of this season? Seems like most people's thoughts in the episode threads are mainly positive, but I'm curious to know how people are feeling about the season in general.

I'm definitely loving it (as a Shamy, no surprise there!) As I've said before, I don't think the season started as strongly as Season 7 did, but I don't think there have been any weak episodes and I do feel this season has got stronger as we've got into it. But then, maybe I've got my Shamy blinders on from Ep8 onwards. :lol: Overall, I think it's been very funny and still had good character development. :)

I'm really loving this season so far. It did have a slightly bumpy start, but around episode 5 or so it seemed to hit its stride, and there have been some truly laugh-out-loud-hysterically moments. Plus, I really love the character growth side of things, that we get to see a lot more of now that we're 8 seasons in. It adds so much more depth.

Of course, I'd probably say this season is great for The Prom Equivalency alone, but I really do like the season as a whole. :D

I've enjoyed it - it's not having me sobbing every Wednesday WHY ONE MORE DAY UNTIL THE EPISODE but that may well be due to the fact that the show's been on a while and we know it'll go on a while yet.

Bring back Kaley's hair! JK

I hate trying to rate any show by the season, it always has ups and downs. I have liked the shift for Kaley and they dropped (last season) the doubts she had with Leonard, almost a week went by where it was debatable if they would break up.

Shamy is moving a long nicely with Sheldon open to more and Amy eagerly waiting for him. They others seem to be treading water, haven't seen much from Raj's love life and Howard and Brenie I'm just waiting for baby news.

I do like when they have an ep centered around the guys being geeky or working, and the girls working.

Overall it's been good so far, can't wait for more.

So, I think we can officially call season 8 the Season of Framed Pictures, yes? :lol:

:lol: I was thinking the same thing last night.

Do we have a new episode next week or are we already on Holdiday Hiatus?

Hiatus, as far as I know.

Ha, I didn't think of that, but it's true!

Honestly overall I'm pretty 'meh' about the season so far. Of course Shamy has been wonderful, and the Prom ep is one of my favorites of the whole series, and I like the guys getting some geeky storylines, but I'm not as excited about new episodes as I used to be, not even close, not overall.

I like it. :lol:
