Attention, geeks: Big Bang couple gets intimate
LYNN ELBER
The Associated Press
BURBANK, California — In the
same week, Star Wars
returns and scientists-inlove Sheldon and Amy
finally consummate their
relationship on The Big
Bang Theory. Could even the
geekiest fan ask for more?
On Thursday’s episode
(8 p.m., CBS), Jim Parsons’
Sheldon and Mayim Bialik’s
Amy have sex for the first
time, with each other or anyone else, more than six TV
seasons after meeting
through an online dating
site.
But let the stars of the
top-rated comedy tell you
about it.
“Amy’s been eager all
along for a different kind of
connection, but it’s actually
Sheldon (Jim Parsons) and Amy (Mayim Bialik) finally
consummate their relationship on Thursday’s episode
of The Big Bang Theory. MICHAEL YARISH, CBS
initiated by Sheldon,” Bialik
said.
“Sheldon’s eager for her
to know she’s special to him,
and this is one of the items
on the list that he feels
could show that,” Parsons
said.
So romantic! And how
explicit is the scene?
Bialik: “More than we
thought. We’re in bed.”
Parsons: “Well, of course
we are. We aren’t going into
the back of a car.”
Bialik: “I thought we
would just talk about it
when it finally happened.”
Parsons (dismissively):
“Oh, no!”
Bialik: “There’s a before
and there’s an after. There’s
no during.”
Star Wars: The Force
Awakens, out Friday in the
real world, is used as a
comic device throughout
the episode and even threatens to derail the couple’s
coupling.
After deciding to give
Amy the gift of sex on her
birthday, Sheldon realizes
there’s a conflict with his
opening-day movie ticket.
He gets sage advice from
the late Professor Proton,
his childhood hero resurrected in ghostly form as a
figment of Sheldon’s subconscious.
The great Bob Newhart
returns as the professor,
grandly decked out in ObiWan Kenobi robes.
“It’s hard for [Sheldon] to
understand that Amy won’t
accept the fact that this is
the première of Star Wars,
so I have to present that
side,” Newhart said.
His delivery as droll and
his timing as impeccable as
ever, Newhart milks the
scene for all it’s worth.
Parsons and Bialik also
make the most of the
smartly — and sweetly —
written episode, stumbling
toward intimacy with tender regard for each other.
Series executive producer and co-creator Chuck
Lorre, a master of network
TV comedy whose credits
include Two and a Half
Men, Mike & Molly and
Mom, had a look of eager
