Loved Raj's comments about HB and SA. It's too bad that the people involved just brushed his comments off. And I loved Sheldon's "See? I told you." look to Amy after what Raj said about their relationship. And of course, Penny's comment about "dating someone you're not that into, and then they break up with you, and then you want them more than ever". I also believe it's like a subconscious reflection of her feelings.
They've been making the characters voice out the fans' (ours, especially) frustrations regarding the canon pairings. The writers must be totally aware of the feedback they're getting for the lousy relationships. It's even more frustrating that they're choosing not to do anything about them.
BTW, I also loved how Shellybean touched Penny's shoulder. Ack! Cuteness!!! I cannot! X3 Is it just me or does Sheldon seem more willing to give Penny subtle touches and taps here and there than his own girlfriend? Nothing screams "natural" and "comfortable" more than the Shenny.
I haven't seen this one yet, watching it later. Visited Orangeland and the canons do not seem very happy. They are saying there was no progress in shamy and Sheldon touched Penny. I saw a gif on tumblr of the touch - why oh why does Penny have to grimace. Sheldon and her are proper friends now, after 4 mths hanging out and she loves him really. :)
I also think the subtle comments we are seeing from Raj and Penny mentioning "dating someone you are not that into" are reflective of both lenny and shamy. Sheldon is not that into Amy, he's co-dependent on her and I'm very uncomfortable with their whole set-up. And Penny was never that into Leonard. She wanted to dump him before the girls talked her out of it.
With any other show you would be able to see a pattern or dare I say a story line working toward the end of the season but on this show anything could and I'm sure will happen with the pairings

They should know by now that SA is going nowhere. Sheldon's always treating her like crap. She doesn't even seem like she's in love with him or something. I think she just likes the idea of having a boyfriend, and perhaps she's thinking nobody else would want her, so she puts up with Sheldon being a crappy boyfriend.

I actually saw that GIF first before DL-ing the episode and it made me excited to watch. XD I never noticed her expression in the gif, but you'll understand why her expression was like that when you finally watch it. It was a look of confusion and a bit of "here we go", I believe. XD

So true! The only reason she didn't break up with him is because she doesn't want to hurt Leonard's feelings. Penny, run fast, run far while you still have the chance. X3
Amy's character has made a VERY dramatic change from season 4 to 5 too. The Shamy is just an insulting and artificial pairing, I honestly don't understand why fans find them 'adorable' or 'hot' *shivers*. It just flows so unnaturally and always feels forced and or disturbing every time they try to put them out as a 'romantic' couple, they got along way more when they were just friends and the platonic chemistry between them in the beginning of their relationship was more tolerable and humorous to watch

Dear Amy, for the love of cow, please break up with Sheldon and date Rajesh. Raj will make you dinner and be genuinely interested in your work. Then maybe you won't sound like you are depressed all the time if you are happy. Seriously, Mayim has played Amy as flat affect and monotone, and perhaps lacking in some confidence. I'd rather have her be robotic Amy like she was in season 4, but I'll even take happy/excited Amy like in season 5. When she doesn't sound sad, and when everything is not all about sex (per Sheldon), Amy is like a nagging mother.
Raj treated Bernie like a princess in this episode and he wasn't even her husband. Imagine how blissful and blooming Amy would become if she gets the same kind of treatment from Raj.
Amy, hear our pleas, sister. It's tiring to see you in such a depressed and frustrated state every single time.
I think Raj and Amy would be great together. The way she speaks works so well with Raj, but it just makes Sheldon seem like a child who she's babysitting. It's mildly creepy.
I totally agree that Sheldon gives more subtle touches to Penny than to Amy. Probably the last time that Sheldon did so with Amy was in The Love Spell Potential, when she was about to get up but he basically indicated to hang on. That was the only time when it seemed that Sheldon had feelings for Amy IMO. If he demonstrated more consistently that he was into her but he was fearful of touching/sex, I could buy Shamy. But that is not what we are shown. Sheldon seems more comfortable around Penny (wanted her help with his pants zipper) even though he is not necessarily "ga-ga" for her in the conventional sense.
Thank heavens for small mercies because I can't stand the thought of when they turn this around. It will happen, they will make Sheldon say he's in love with Amy one day. Huh!!! It makes no sense Penny is the one who gets him. Penny is the one he sparks with. That small moment with her was much more powerful then the preaching Amy was doing at him, in ever scene.
