TBBT - Amy's Diagnosis

[@Krimson5pride]

She is a neurobiologist even in the real life. How cool is that!

[@AlexSeverinski]

Not cool at all if she chose to spend nearly a decade on one of the worst TV shows ever instead of doing something more worthwhile with her talents.

[@adeel-eh7xq]

Are you referring to blossom or big bang theory?

[@lunasilvermoon2283]

@John Smith Liking a show or not is subjective and 100% opinion based. Her contribution to society is to provide entertainment to everyone who considers The Big Bang Theory to be a good and fun TV Series to watch. While you may not agree with this show being good, to say she contributes nothing to society is factually incorrect.

[@lunasilvermoon2283]

@John Smith in terms of ''for society'' perhaps that would be better, but we now get to the part of wether she wants it or not. I can't imagine someone studying and getting an actualy Ph.D only to do nothing with it and pretty much all scientist fly under the radar (until they made groundbreaking discoveries). For all we know she could very well be both working on Neurobiological research as well as acting. Her acting career could even be a way to de-stress and relax from all the serious thinking in research.

[@lunasilvermoon2283]

@John Smith oh so do I . not at first though. it was a bit too unrealistically robot-like behaviour but she had some awesome sneers and remarks later on when she became more social

[@TheToadChild]

Amy is the best representation of how a woman can be in control of her personal relationships, smart, and successful.

[@MaiaraBela]

You have to be kidding... This Amy here was the 'old' Amy, but the character quickly changed into someone really different. That new Amy was needy, desperate and her life basically revolved around Sheldon.

[@vernondent1411]

@@AlexSeverinski That was the character dynamic between Amy and Sheldon when she was first introduced. She was reserved, rational, and disinterested in sex. Then the writers decided to make her desperate, clingy, and fixated on getting into Sheldon's pants. (Yawn.) Also, the entire series is a made-up fantasy that never existed.

Seeing they ended up getting married I say that’s a strong possibility

[@ellenmarch3095]

I don't think so. "A cross we all must bear." would not have been the first thing out of his mouth. I think he was pissed that Amy first deliberately insulted Star Trek and then wouldn't stop telling him how he felt, especially when that's not a feeling he would be proud of anyway, much less when he didn't think it was true.

[@ladynottingham89]

I liked Amy more in the beginning. I don't know why they had to turn her into a love sick puppy. I'm sure they could have found a way to evolve the relationship with Sheldon without making her the clingy/needy girlfriend.

[@sofialampitsi9429]

amen to that.

[@zigzaggyp746]

Well, if you listen to her stories growing up it was lack of opportunity and awkwardness that kept her from experiencing these emotions. It wasn't by choice. Then, being exposed to Penny, Bernadette, the guys, and their relationships, it seems only natural and logical on her part in the progression once she finally got a boyfriend. Look at her once she became besties with Penny. Amy's likeness to Sheldon in the beginning wasn't really Amy, just what circumstances had her become. What she really wanted is what she has now.

[@NiVi192]

ladynottingham89 I see your point, but they both went that way, not just Amy. It's a certain codependency! And I loved the original idea of this relationship in the beginning, but it had to move on in some regard, otherwise it would just have been a very flat character writing. And by the way, obviously they've always been feeling "higher needs", jealousy etc. What's changed is their commitment to it!

[@CalliopePony]

When Amy was first introduced she was nothing but a female carbon copy of Sheldon. It was boring and gimmicky. I loved when they started letting her develop a personality of her own. Besides, Sheldon probably would have never progressed in his ability to have relationships if he hadn't paired with someone who was willing to be a little bit pushy. Amy's character development led to Sheldon's character development.

[@ramcreignreign8707]

Calliope Pony well said... character development is what happened between shamy.. i dont get why other people like amy staying "sheldon like"

[@simon199418]

wait sheldon doesn't like people touching his food but he is more than happy to be eating raw fish next to raw brains, and even having his food into a Tupperware that had brains in it?

[@bonniestar4707]

He is too het up with jealousy at that moment to worry about his usual hygiene issues

[@jamirimaj6880]

He also didn't flinch at all when she said she was sick and was quickly to offer to help her. Subtle, but that's actually his character progression, him being comfortable and caring to his woman.

[@chinmayeeprabhudessai1158]

Yes, plus, it bothers me so hard that they are having food in a biology lab while cutting up a brain sample. Forget eating, even water isn’t allowed in the biology labs as there is risk of infection. As a neuroscience PhD holder herself, Mayim (Amy) should have corrected this scene!

Someone should tell them both that repression is the father of neurosis. But it's a bit late for that and I doubt that they'd listen.

[@AlexSeverinski]

When you believe you're right, no amount of effort can convince you otherwise.

[@corruptangel6793]

Sheldon does actually bring up a good point about fictional stories: through them you can learn lessons that can help with everyday life same as with any history or philosophy or general non-fiction book. Or hell, lessons learned from parents. It's still calling upon the wisdom and knowledge of others to better your own. But for some reason society doesn't see it that way and looks down on people who would quote things like Anime/Manga or Marvel or, in this case, Star Trek.

[@personwithaquestion1800]

Well said!

[@nasekiller]

i dont think anyone is denying that lol. it is just that in some cases, the "wisdom" is either cheap or straight up stupid. like in this case, i dont think suppressing your emotions is the wise thing to do. it can be useful or necessary in certain situations, but doing it perpetually is just unhealthy. i mean that is literally one of the criteria for judging whether a fictional story is "good". on the one hand, it should obviously be entertaining. but you should also question, what "lessons" are implied and if they are good or bad. for example, since you mentioned anime/manga. i am a one piece fan. and i love the manga mainly because of entertainment value (interesting world, characters and story, funny scenes), but obviously i am aware that there are some important moral statements, some explicitely, some implicitely. and some of the statements are really good, like "follow your dreams", "stick up for the people you care about", "help people in need", "fight the oppressor". but there are a lot of things, that i think are very wrong. like the whole world is built on strict hierarchy. almost every island the protagonists visit has an absolute ruler, like a king or a lord. and really the only question is, if the ruler is "good" or "bad". and obviously they are fighting the "bad" ruler, but have no problem with helping the "good" ruler to keep/gain their power. democratic processes are the exception, not the rule. and usually it is just the people saying "oh, this old leader was so bad, so now we choose this new, "good" leader, who will then rule over us with absolute power", implying that the people dont even want to govern themselves. obviously this is an anti-democratic sentiment and i do not condone it. also, problems are almost always solved with violence, which doesnt seem to be a good message. and especially in the pirate world it is just uniformly accepted, that "the strongest rule" and "might makes right". so if you live under the dominion of a strong "bad" pirate, you can really just hope that a "good" pirate comes along and defeats them (which is usually luffy, the protagonist). i guess in some way that is actually a valuable life lesson, because that is pretty much how the real world works (except in the real world, might comes from wealth, not fighting ability), however it is very questionable that this kind of approach is never really condoned in the manga.

[@corruptangel6793]

@@nasekiller first off, ALL knowledge is useful. The only variable is if, when and how you apply it. all adults and people suppress their emotions, they do so in order to maintain maturity, civility and to make the world function. *permenately* suppressing your emotions is unhealthy, which is why everyone has their own methods of unwinding. Whether through vices like sex, drugs or alcohol. Escapism like games, movies, and books. Or physical things like sports or exercise. but here Shelden is doing exactly what he should be. Mentally calming himself after someone said something deeply upsetting to him. Call it that Star Trek method he's using, Jedi teachings from Star Wars, some other Sci fi or fantasy story, turning the other cheek from Christianity, practicing zen from Buddhism or straight up sucking it up like an adult, they're all the same. The only difference is where you learned to do it. This has nothing to do with whether a story is "good" or not. Only what you learn from it. Unfortunately, I've never seen One Piece so I can't speak to the political explorations of the story or lack thereof. All that matters is the fact that there are lessons you can learn in One Piece and you shouldn't be embarrassed or ashamed to say that's where you learned it from.
