Sheldon is just trying so hard isn't he? He really really tried with the flip flops and boy did it backfire on him. And instead of taking that as an example of why he should stop trying, instead he took a huge leap and turned the wedding plans over to Amy. That kind of growth from Sheldon would have been unimaginable even a couple of seasons ago. It's been so much fun to watch him evolve and yet still remain recognizably Sheldon. And if Amy gives him any crap about the Star Trek uniform under his tux, then she doesn't deserve him. That one sentence illustrated his understanding that while he thinks a Star Trek uniform is appropriate he recognizes that nobody else will and is making a compromise.

Except that I think Alex deserves soooo much better after seeing him get support from his relationship with Jo. All we ever heard with Alex/Izzie was that he didn't deserve her.
Alex absolutely did not deserve Izzy. He did not deserve her derision, her drama and her overall inability to see past the end of our own nose. And that was before she got sick. Alex might be rough around the edges and have his own issues but he's ultimately a good, loyal, kind and supportive person. Aside from the whole beating up DeLuca thing which I'm not touching with a ten-foot pole.

It's not quite the same situation. Bellisario got canned because it was about to be a mutiny on the set of NCIS due to the very long hours and constant script rewriting. Apparently things have been much more chill over there ever since. Shonda on the other hand apparently runs tight ships on her sets to begin with and keeps churning out hit after hit. ABC has no reason to fire her just because of one storyline that wasn't popular with part of the audience.

I'm really surprised that they didn't kill Izzy off screen by now. The actress is definitely not coming back and given the aggressive cancer that the character was dealing with, it would make a lot of sense for someone to contact Alex or Meredith and tell them that she had died.

Love this! And really can't wait to see the full photo shoot.

Yes technically Bishop has been there for a few years now. However the show is heading into its 15th season and she only got there during the 11th. So it still feels like she is fairly new.

With long-running shows like this it seems to be that you either have to turn the cast over on a fairly regular basis, like er did or you have to be committed to keeping pretty much the same cast the whole time. Like someone referenced up above it's very difficult to bring in new people towards the very end and expect to get the same connections that have been so enjoyable with the old crew. The divide is too deep.

I've wondered if Deeks will get a storyline explaining his relationship with his mom, because it's always seemed off to me. I remember his father was abusive to them and Deeks shot him and he later died in a car accident.
His mom has always come off to me like there's something more going on there that Deeks has had to deal with - like maybe she has a personality disorder or bipolar disorder and he's had to deal with that. They write her as if he has some kind of issue from growing up specifically to do with her, but it's never been apparent what.
I thought the same thing since her first episode. My theory has always been that the abuse her husband put them through left her with some mental issues. Not enough to keep her from functioning but enough to make her more than a handful for Deeks. He's probably been the parent in the relationship for a long time now.

I've always thought that the Freeform channel could do a great series with The Face on the Milk Carton books. It seems perfectly suited for them. And I've always thought the books would make a great TV series. Not a movie though, there's far too much to include.

I agree. It's been 15 seasons. Tons of major cast turnover in the last couple of seasons rather than slowly and steadily over the years. They've had a fantastic run considering they were a spin-off of a show hardly anyone remembers and they've generated two successful spin-offs of their own. Make the decision now so that they can have a really great last season that is well planned. But it is time to Let It Go.

Especially since her previous pregnancy ended in a miscarriage.

Anyone want to start a betting pool on how they kill her off? We all know that women don't get off the show alive. And Abby has made it very clear in the past that you will pry that lab from her cold dead fingers.

Drunk Sheldon is always funny.
But I really hate it when women feel like they have to hide their success to make men feel better about themselves.
I do like that the whole conversation passed the Bechdel test and made it clear that the hiding was *not* a good thing.

New to this page but a fan for years! How much time has supposedly elapsed between last seaon's finale and the season premier?
Unless the previous season ended on a tight cliffhanger, the show tends to stick to real time. The final episode last season reference to Sam's kids being at school. This season begins with mentions of them beginning their new school year. So roughly three to four months. Even when they do end on a cliffhanger the second episode of the season will generally contain at least a small time skip.

I wanted to like this episode. I really did. I've been looking forward to this all summer. They tried really hard but just seem to miss the mark. Getting Sam back to work and witnessing his grief should not have taken place in the same episode as introducing a new assistant director. And I'm not sure how I feel about the assistant director yet. I understand that Granger is gone and that slot needs to be filled but Mosley is not striking me as the person to fill it.
Sam has taken another body blow in his life but by the end of the episode he's back to work and bantering with the team as usual.? I sincerely hope that we see his grief continue to roll out throughout the season. Not because I want him to be sad but because if he isn't, the Michelle's death rings completely false. Maybe Sam has to go back to work for financial reasons or because he wants to distract himself while the kids are at school but to be bantering and acting as usual takes me completely out of the story.

That's a really good point. When we last saw him, DJ was not dealing with a young marriage or early parenthood. Admittedly he was 14 and it would have been very odd for that to be an issue. Provided that he did well in school and avoided the mistakes of his older sisters, DJ has a pretty bright future in front of him. He's only a couple of years older than me and I think I was some of the last people to go to college without worrying about crippling educational debt (graduated HS 2000, college 2004). DJ stands a very good chance of getting through college and into the workforce ahead of the recession and without the student loan debt.

Once the revival starts, the really interesting part is going to be seeing essentially three very distinct generations all dealing with economic issues. You have Roseanne and Dan the Baby Boomers, Mark and Becky along with David and Darlene who are Generation X and then finally Harris, Andy and Jerry who are all millennials. And while Andy and Jerry are being raised by Baby Boomers, Harris will probably have a very different childhood as she is being raised by Gen X.
And another thing I thought of, Bev had to get married when she got pregnant with Roseanne. And given her upbringing with Nana Mary she probably felt she was Marrying Up. Which is why she's probably so hyper critical of her daughters. Even though she never felt Rosanne would be more than a wife and a mother, she clearly feels that she could have been a better one. That Roseanne should have waited at least a couple of years, maybe worked some sort of token job or gone to secratrial school or something, then married a man in a white collar profession. Isn't that what most 50's mothers were exorting their daughters to do? And then there were the educational and professional aspirations that Bev had for Jackie that also went unfulfilled. And neither does Jackie seem capable of a stable relationship. So Bev sees many disappointments in both her daughters.

I think the whole Shamy relationship teaches women to “stand by your man” no matter how narcissistic and misogynistic he is.
I've always thought the show did a pretty good job of Amy drawing the line of what she will and will not tolerate from Sheldon. While she does put up with some of his quirks she certainly does not put up with all of them and she's very quick to make it clear when something is not okay. And she is about the only person other than Penny and his mother that can get away with doing that to Sheldon. I actually see his behavior is far worse to his guy friends.

I've been rewatching the original run on Amazon Prime and it's starting to occur to me that Roseanne and Dan both had pretty solid middle-class upbringings. You don't hear either of them referring to any sort of finanical struggles as children or having to do without or anything like that.
Dan father is referrenced to making a good living as a salesman, things don't seem at all tight on that side until after he marries Crystal and has 3 more kids to support. Dan was an only child growing up and there are multiple references to him owning a very nice motorcycle in high school, something he probably wasn't going to be able to affort on a part-time job. Dan not going to college seems more of a lack of parental involve/direction than lack of money. Ed was always on the road and Audrey was battling mental illness.
For Al and Bev (Roseanne's parents), Bev doesn't seem to have ever worked after getting married, they owned a decent home in Lanford and have plenty of money in those later years, enough to loan Dan and Roseanne money towards the purchase of the house and before the divorce there was a certain amount of travel. Bev always seems very comfortable after the divorce as well, in fact it's implied that she retained most of the marital assets. Roseanne didn't go to college because she wasn't encouraged to do and was determined to get out of her parents house as soon as possible.
To me, all this adds up to Roseanne and Dan actually taking an economic step backwards when they married and started their family. Both parents had to work outside the home and things were consistantly much tighter than what they grew up with. I think that might actually explain some of the poor financial decisions they made over the years. They knew things were supposed to get better, as witnessed in their own upbringing, but neither knew to effectively make that happen. Dan presumably has some sort of contractors license but Roseanne clearly has no secondary eduction or certification even though Becky wasn't born until they'd been married for 4 years, durning which time Roseanne could have obtained some sort of job training.

The Mindy Project touched on arranged marriage a couple of seasons ago. The guy playing Raj was actually a guest star in that particular episode. It was actually done very well, portraying Mindy's parents as arranged and very happy, and willing to do the same for their daughter but totally accepting at the same time if she wanted to find a romantic match.

S11.E03: The Relaxation Integration

Bernadette is way too far along for a June baby. I think Wolowitz child should be arriving around maybe February.
