That was some serious geeking out over Slayer strength. I've never seen anything even close to it. I don't know if Buffy should introduce them to Willow or if they might make Willow's head explode too, thus robbing the good guys of a mega powerful witch :( I am sure that Buffy should run away very fast if she does introduce them to Willow, in order to save her own brain from exploding :)
I shudder to think what they will find now that they are seriously looking, even just in half an hour. I wonder what threats Buffy will have to employ in order to prevent them publishing on the subject of super strong young women and the exact capabilities of the same? Buffy will have to look out for surreptitious testing whenever she meets Amy or Sheldon from now on! I just hope that Amy doesn't start trying to steal Buffy's books!

I just thought Sheldon and Amy should apply their considerable intellect to the problem, evne if both of them have built-in biases that would make them forget to look in certain directions. After all, you've heard the maxim "if you hear hoofbeat,s look for horses, not zebras". That's a good maxim to follow, right up until what you needed to be looking for is actually four-legged demons from a hell dimension.

This almost made me spit soup all over my keyboard.

Your Amy Farrah Fowler voice is *amazing*. For a number of characters, the way you do their narration is very impressive, but I can't recall you ever nailing anyone as well as her. Except for your own original characters, of course.

That chapter was not only very interesting and entertaining, but it hints at some even better ones to come. I can hardly contain my excitement.

It helps that the writers and the actress have defined such a precise characterization to work from.

I'm not happy with their ignoring the supernatural like this as its a flawed research sample, a proper one would be half hour without and half hour with. That way they can compare the scientific and supernatural results for corelations and attempt to determine whether there is a "logical" explanation for Buffy's abilities but also whether past superstitions rather than being magic or primitive beliefs (their view) may have rather been an attempt to explain a core truth observed by people without the scientific method.

Can you really see Sheldon even *considering* researching 'demons' as a valid cause? We're talking about a man who doesn't even consider the soft sciences as worth examining. Sheldon once completely locked up just reading through a prepared script with Penny.

Great chapter. I really like the way you got into the Sheldon's thought patterns. The interaction between Amy and Sheldon was also very true to canon.

Thanks. I try to stick with canon when I can (meaning: when it doesn't drive me insane because of plotholes and such).

That was beautiful! And as was reflected in other comments, you are a past-mistress of building anticipation.

On a slightly related note, I can't help but picture Raj getting involved, and being asked if he would mind discussing theories with some experts in the area - some guys named Will, Sam and Fred.

Thanks for the review. And I pity Raj if he walks into a meeting with Will, Sam, and Fred. How much alcohol would he have to consume before he could even say their names?

This is a royal hoot.

It will be interesting how the research goes, and how they are able to quantify and qualify the supernatural. Especially without resorting to supernatural sites.

If he pushes Buffy, she just might bring in Willow to demonstrate (being their resident tech/magic expert)

Imagine what'll happen if Sheldon ever gets back to the paper, and doesn't find any mistakes in it, and then meets one of the authors, and finds out she's a witch.

Thanks for reading. Sheldon isn't going to let any farcical mathematical shenanigans slide by in a research paper, even if there are cases in quantum mechanics where it is legitimate to 'divide infinity by infinity' and get a logical result.

This was a lot of fun, looking forward to more. Thanks.

Thanks for reading. The next chapter is in two weeks.

If there was going to be people who used brainpower to uncover the truth it'd be anyone from the BBT or everyone working together, which I might guess they'd do if Amy and Sheldon don't get anywhere on their own. I'm looking forward to seeing where their research goes.

Amy and Sheldon do seem the type to get to the bottom of any mystery that piques their interest.

boy you talk about trying to stick your crank in a pencil sharpener.....
as always a great chapter, thanks for the laughs

Thanks for reading.

That was amazing. Props and kudos on writing that exchange; I am impressed.

Thanks. Writing dialogue for Sheldon and Amy and keeping them differentiated in text only is intricate.

*SNORK*

Readysetgo! HA! Oh, ewwwww... notgoodnotgoodnotgoodnotgoodnotgoodnotgood...

I'm glad you're enjoying the chapters.

Loving the Shamy.

Are you trying to replicate Sheldon's behaviour modification experiments by giving us something great on Mondays so we will start believing that Mondays are not evil?

:-) Thanks.

And... umm, I have no idea what you might be talking about, and I would certainly not experiment on my readers. (This sentence is brought to you by the TV Tropes pages: 'Blatant Lies' and 'Suspiciously Specific Denial'. :-) )

Now THIS is the Amy I kind of enjoy -- the coldly logical scientist who can argue science with Sheldon toe to toe and perform experiments on her acquaintances without their knowledge, rather than the Amy who's constantly trying to molest Sheldon (or possibly Penny). :)

Can't wait to see what sorts of evidence Sheldon and Amy, working separately and together, will be able to discover . . . and what sorts of conclusions they'll reach based on their research, especially if they avoid the supernaturally-leaning websites.

Thanks. Writing dialogue for Sheldon and Amy and keeping them differentiated in text only is intricate, because they have very similar speaking patterns.

Wonderful chapter. I could hear the dialogue like it was an episode, well done in capturing both characters here. Can't wait to see what their parallel searches arrive at.

Thank you. Writing dialogue for Sheldon and Amy and keeping them differentiated in text only is intricate.

Good to see some nice, sane individuals in an entertaining story.

Amy sounds like someone I could have fun with on a date. I have only seen one episode of Big Bang Theory, and that was because my ex keeps calling me Sheldon and wanted me to know why. Still these seem like the most totally reasonable individuals I have read about in a fanfic for a long time.

I look forward to seeing how they work out the truth. Soon, hopefully.

Sheldon and Amy are rational scientists who are not going to be deceived by bunkum. Whether this is a good thing in the BuffyVerse is a different issue.
