Amy's Honor Defended

Big Bang Theory, S06E07

 Amy felt like Wil Wheaton insulted her, but Sheldon didn't have her back.  Howard still had his things at his mother's house, and Bernadette wanted him to completely move into their place.

I was happy to see not Wil Wheaton (because he's a little arrogant for someone who's only slightly famous), but Amy together with Sheldon because that meant it might possible be a story about them.  It also meant I was probably going to get angry at Sheldon, and that was definitely true because I can't get past his inability to understand social cues.  My sympathy for Amy outweighs the knowledge that Sheldon doesn't understand human emotions.  I don't care.  He needed to get his ass kicked for putting Wheaton ahead of his own girlfriend.  It was so like him to misunderstand her and think she wanted him to ditch her for dinner and go out with Wheaton instead.  Sheldon is so damn lucky because another girl would have ended it right there.  He's also lucky Leonard let him know he was in the doghouse because Amy surely would have gotten to the breaking point if that issue had been left unattended for long.

I think my favorite part was when Sheldon got drunk (thanks to Penny--I'll give her some props for once) and went to fight Wheaton at his house.  Also, I just liked how he finally mentioned all the great things he loves about Amy, but has probably never told her.  I was gratified by his near showdown with Wheaton, even if there was no way Sheldon would have won.  Without alcohol he would have never gotten to that point, but I feel like if a few drinks would make him act like a real boyfriend, somewhere inside of him are real feelings for Amy.  It was about as sweet as I could expect Sheldon to be.

I don't know why Amy is such a demanding director, but I loved seeing LeVar Burton at the end of the episode.  I don't care much for Star Trek, but I heart him for his work on Reading Rainbow for sure.  And at least he didn't mind Amy being overbearing--he was just there for his payment.  Haha.

I don't have much to say about Howard's story except how gross it was that he wanted to pleasure himself one last time in his room while his friends waited at the U-Haul for him.  So glad that Leonard didn't agree to that.  Ugh. Bernadette is sweet that she didn't want Howard to break his mother's heart by completely moving out.  She really makes a lot of concessions for him.  That's love.

I liked this episode.  I mean, you can't really go wrong with an episode about Amy and Sheldon, really.  They are just too interesting as a couple.  Almost like watching a new species of animals interact with each other.  I like there is more and more evidence that Sheldon does care for Amy somewhere in that heart he has, but it just hasn't registered in his brain yet.  Although, since Sheldon is crazy with just about anything, I don't know if I'd be ready to see what he'd be like if he realized he was in love.  I might enjoy how happy it would make Amy, though.  Can't wait to see more of them!
