Greetings all,
I don't have cable since I stopped watching tv years ago and once I moved out of my parents, I saw no point in paying $40+ for something I rarely use. When I would visit my parents, I would on occasion an episode. I decided once I finished my summer courses this year, that I would binge watch this series. I found out that only the Hamilton public library has the series and not the Toronto library so I had to watch them while at my parents. It was a lot of work.
I think it didn't start out that good because the Howard character was way too weird and creepy. He didn't start becoming 'normal' until he was in a relationship, which is sad in a way that television promotes the idea that only a woman 'cures' a creepy, sex deprived man.
My favourite character is of course Sheldon. He is the character I relate to the most as he has these social quirks and doesn't understand various social customs. I was like this when I was younger and had to learn these social customs that to me, didn't make much sense. Like when you ask someone how are they. You don't really want to know how they are doing. You are just supposed to give them a polite response like 'good' or 'great'. He is also very honest and doesn't hide his thoughts, which is pretty much how I am like.
Sheldon is also precise in how he likes things and particular about where he sits and is possessive of where he sits. I am the same way and like to sit in certain spots.
I caught up to season 7 and right now the library is ordering season 8 which I am on the waitlist for. I told my brother to tape season 9.
The only way I don't relate to Sheldon is his dislike of being in a relationship and the physical aspect. I don't know if he ends up having sex in season 8 but I sure hope to see him have sex in season 9. I don't understand how someone could wait 3 years before being comfortable with kissing and it's not even deep french kissing. I guess because I am a lover that I just don't understand the lack of affection. I also learned in real life the guy who plays Sheldon, Jim Parsons is gay and 42. He looks so young with his baby face.
It took me a while to see it but I am finding the Raj character attractive. I like his smile as it's nice and big but sadly he too is married in real life so no chance for me!
