I’m not sure who Amy has less of a chance having sex with: Sheldon or Penny. She’s a woman in her sexual prime, and the most action she can get is Leonard accidentally taking her to second base as he helped her up. This week’s Big Bang Theory proves once again that bringing Amy and Bernadette more into the fold is making the show considerably more dynamic.
I am beginning to worry about how long the relationship between Amy and Sheldon can last. She’s clearly yearning for … something … that he is obviously not prepared to give her. The denial of sex is something that has ended many a young relationship, though it isn’t often that it is the male partner doing the denying.
This week, we also saw the aftermath of Priya’s admission to cheating to Leonard. When she told him, I’m not sure that I believed that Leonard would have the fortitude to stand up for himself and end it. Well, to be honest, even though he mentioned off-handedly that he is now single, I still find it hard to believe he initiated the breakup. I’m sure Priya did that for him too. It is too bad … like many of the commenters last week, I really liked Alice.
As usual, The Big Bang Theory was packed with some great quotes. These were some of my favorites … Did I miss one of yours?
“Ladies, please. These four walls once housed an intellectual salon where the mind received nourishment as well as the stomach. But through no one’s fault … Penny … the quality of dinner conversation in this apartment has declined. And again, I’m looking at no one in particular. Penny.” – Sheldon
“Sheldon, sometimes you forget: I’m a lady. And with that comes an estrogen fueled need to page through glossy magazines that make me hate my body.” – Amy
“[referring to Amy’s cooler full of Mad Cow Disease] That’s fun to have in a lunch room.” — Howard
“The real fun starts when you get to pick the rat to give it too, and maybe you choose the beady-eyed little mother who’s been biting you all week.” – Amy
“Sorry, I’m a little distracted. I can’t seem to get in touch with Amy. I’ve tried email, video chat, Tweeting her, posting on her Facebook wall, texting her … nothing.” – Sheldon
“Did you try calling her on the telephone?” – Leonard
“The telephone … You know, Leonard, in your simple way, you may be the wisest of us all.” – Sheldon
“Point of order: As you’re in distress, it would be customary for me to offer you a hot beverage. But, I’m a guest in your home, so it would be customary for you to offer me a beverage. How do you want to proceed vis-à-vis beverages?” – Sheldon
“At this moment I find myself craving human intimacy and physical contact.” – Amy
“Oh boy … You know ours is a relationship of the mind.” – Sheldon
“Proposal: One wild night of torrid love making that soothes my soul and inflames my loins.” – Amy
“Counter-proposal: I will gently stroke your head and repeat, ‘Ah, who’s a good Amy?’” – Sheldon
“[About Amy] OK, look, this is her first time being a bridesmaid, and she’s just getting a little crazy with it.” – Penny
“She keeps telling us stories about bridesmaid traditions in other cultures, and they’re all about getting naked and washing each other.” – Bernadette
“[While trying on dresses] Oh, Amy! Looking sexy.” – Bernadette
“You think they don’t have mirrors in there? I know how I look.” – Amy
I keep wondering when Amy and Penny will hook up and would it be before Amy and Sheldon do….her and Penny seems way more likely
