Aaaahhh, I have to admit, I was not seeing the "moment of realization" in Sheldon that everyone was talking about, but that screencap! I SEE IT. It's quiet and it's delicate and it makes me really happy. :D :D
Whee, I love these recaps.
but I have to nitpick (and repost, argh), it's a 'local' muffin store in the quote!
ETA: OMG! I used to have a Calcium Kid icon from that scene. I ADORE that movie; it's one of the funniest movies I've EVER seen. Orlando Bloom AND Billie Piper?! It was fabulous.
I used to RP Jimmy Connelly, who is one of my most favorite characters of all time. Guh, I loved playing him. It was the best. I love that movie. Oh my God, I wrote so much fic for it. So cool to hear of someone else loving it! :D :D
See for me, if it had been smug, he would have looked at her. He was so deliberately NOT looking at her and, so I did see that it was just the teensiest bit of guilt and shame. He knew he shouldn't have, but he WANTED TO!
TBFP (to Raj)--"Obviously you don't know a lot about Indian cinema"?
But I dunno. I see your point but I'm sort of more leaning toward the guilty thing. I'll have to think about why, though, I don't have any particular reasons (still have to write a response to this epic BD myself lol)
I had sort of handwaved the "Sheldon figures stuff out" thing until I screencapped that scene, and seriously, watching it in slow-mo like 5 times? JP puts A LOT into his facial expressions, and they do not correspond simply to "why is she so crazy/making me sing this song?" SO. YES. AGREE.
Can I also say the line: "Bet you thought I'd never say that?" Am I the only one fascinated by the fact she puts that on HIM?! Not "OMG, I never thought I'd say that!" JS, is there a thought process there that she's willing to own up to a bit more?
YES. That was the MOMENT. Sheldon's expression during just Soft Kitty says it all. And Penny's sweet look of utter LOVE when they finish singing? How could anyone believe these were anything but MEANT TO BE?
And I love, love, love how Sheldon runs to her rescue, not even stopping to put the phone back in its setting, which for Sheldon is, wow.
Thank you for writing this! These recaps are truly a treasure. ♥
