[QUOTE="wingsandsword, post: 5546359, member: 14159"] I realize I like to watch The Big Bang Theory, but the more I watch it the more I realize that I just can't stand Sheldon. Dr. Sheldon Cooper is a horrible person: he's callous, insensitive, inconsiderate, and poorly tries to be manipulative. He holds is "friends" to imposing and onerous contracts regulating every single aspect of friendship (such as the exact restaurant that take out food for regular gatherings is ordered from) and breaking off friends after three violations of these rules (which can be so petty as forwarding a funny e-mail to him) unless they take his class at the university. In Thursday's episode "The Agreement Dissection", Sheldon seemed to have crossed that line. Blackmailing Leonard into signing an abusive contract by putting an "self destruct" timer that will make his laptop send out e-mails that will ruin his relationship by telling compromising information to his girlfriend's parents was too far. I was watching that and thinking "destroy the laptop" as in smash it and break it over your knee, or throw it out the window and let it fall six stories to the pavement below. I really like the show, but I would so love to see Sheldon get his comeuppance sometime as the primary antagonist that he seems to be on the show, instead of getting the upper hand in the end. Is anybody else here in a similar situation? [/QUOTE]
