Sheldon - Leonard's first encounter (sub ita)

[@mire6134]

Notice how in this scene he says 'it faces the television at a direct angle allowing me to immerse myself in entertainment or gameplay without being subjected to conversation' whereas later on (earlier in the series but later chronologically) he says something along the lines of '...it faces the television at an angle that is neither direct, thus discouraging conversation, nor so far wide...'. I see this as the writers' attempt to show us how meeting Leonard has changed Sheldon's attitude towards socializing and ultimately - friendship. Until Leonard (and the rest of their group) he hasn't met a true friend that he enjoys talking to.

[@jackbauer4762]

Nice attention to detail

[@APerson-co7er]

@Jonathan isn't that Sheldon considered Tam as a betrayal at this moment? Cause if it's like that, he would not really have something called friendship inside him before he met Leonard.

Notice that Sheldon avoids eye contact for the remainder of this scene, a sign of first encounters for people with Autism and Asperger's. For Future reference, if you ever encounter someone with Asperger's or HFA, don't ask or tell them to look at you, because otherwise, their entire focus will be looking at you and not on talking or listening to you!

[@bryant475]

@EXO - L Damn thats pretty bad. Last one I ever had moved in with only two pair of pants to his name. He washed them by dipping them in water and leaving them out in the porch area.

0:20 - 0:33 When you weren't listening in class and the teacher asks you for an answer.

[@LucianFromEarth]

Sheldon's answer in regards to the bedrooms did not address Leonard's question. Leonard did not ask whether he may see the bedrooms. He asked if the bedrooms were located in that place, therefore the answer "that depends" is erroneous, as it would mean that the bedrooms' existence is conditional, as Leonard pointed out.

[@yiledute]

Sheldon hates to lose, or to recognize any type of mistake done by himself. In this same scene he lies about his ability to drive; so I took it as him looking for a way to ignore his mistake by leading the conversation to a "warning" and focusing Leonard's attention in pleasing Sheldon instead of arguing.

[@yunsha9986]

Sheldon's behaviour reminds Leonard of his mother, which is subconscious and hence why he plays along unknowingly.

[@redskullz1249]

Leonard moves in because he relates more to Sheldon than he does to other "normal" well-adjusted people, because of both Sheldon's personality (which is similar to Leondard's mother) as well as Sheldon's general intelligence and interests. Sheldon might be the outlier in Leonard's friend-circle, but Leonard still starts off closer to Sheldon than he does to Penny, for instance.

I must have been one of the lucky one then. Without therapy I literally would not be here today. After five years of suffering without my fiance I was minutes away from committing suicide.

The dance deprived roommate swore vengeance upon Sheldon after the 17th time it happened, leading to Sheldon kicking him out due to toxic hostility. The roommate later married his girlfriend's dance instructor, and according to the text, was quite happy in the end, though whenever someone says the name Sheldon he says 'that son of a bitch'.
