anna0852 March 6, 2021 Share March 6, 2021 Missy was separated from her husband at the time of Sheldon's wedding. I'm betting baby #2 wasn't planned and strained the marriage even further. Since the YS narration said Missy ended up with four kids I like to imagine she left her husband and ended up with Raj 😀 5 11 Link to comment

Interesting that the author seems to take the POV that they have to reconcile the two George's. I agree that they have time moving forward to have George behave in ways that explain BBT Sheldon's memories of him - and I think they should - but I don't want YS to turn dark and sad. Damn I wish BBT had walked back a bit of what they said about Mary and George in those last few years when they had the chance. 3 Link to comment
Chit Chat March 12, 2021 Share March 12, 2021 (edited) Quote So why is Sheldon so arrogant and entitled? Is it because of Mary? Or would he end up this way with any parents? I can't remember the title of the episode of TBBT where Leonard's Mom and Sheldon were talking about this very thing. She wondered how Sheldon would've done given her parenting style vs. the nurturing style of his own mother. Sheldon made the comparison of having 2 siblings who were "stupid" (in his eyes) - I think this is where he referenced them as mouth-breathing ?.... (I can't remember the line), and he turned out to be a genius, so he probably would've turned out the way he is regardless of who his parents were. Then he concluded with "and she made me spaghetti with hot dogs." This was one of the many things that endeared Sheldon to Mary!! He loved spaghetti and hot dogs! I think Mary did the best she could given the information available to her at that time. Sheldon was a challenge, but the love that Mary showed him was really meaningful to him, as was stated many times on TBBT. Maybe Sheldon could've used some behavior modification therapy, but we know that he wouldn't have cooperated with that because he never thought anything was wrong with him. After all, his mother had him tested! Edited March 12, 2021 by ChitChat 1 8 Link to comment

Anyway, if I was writing a script for either show to explain why “Sheldon so arrogant and entitled” I would build on this week’s YS episode, in which Sheldon was left feeling unwanted and abandoned. Maybe for a change, a different character could do the voiceover explaining that Sheldon’s arrogance and sense of entitlement was really a show he put on as a defense mechanism to cover his crushed feelings. 😞 4 Link to comment

That's what is tough about being Sheldon. He can be so annoying and off putting that not many people want to give him a chance. Older kids don't want to hang around with him (except for Tam,) and those his own age aren't able to communicate with him on his level. I would imagine it's kind of tough being Sheldon. He was lucky to find Leonard later on in life, and although he can be a pain in the butt to him, Leonard learned how to deal with him and got a few verbal jabs in here and there. I really liked the moments on TBBT when Leonard wasn't irritated with him and would say something like "Buddy, are you alright?" There were moments when their friendship was really great (like Leonard comforting him after Prof. Proton died,) and Leonard as his Best Man at his wedding. Those were nice moments. 8 Link to comment

anna0852 March 12, 2021 Share March 12, 2021 The problem with Sheldon is a quite frankly he doesn't have very good manners and he doesn't seem interested in improving them. If he was at least a modicum more polite, I think he'd find life a lot easier. Look at Paige. She's in the same position he is and she's able to relate to her peers. There's very much an element of not caring about other people's feelings in Sheldon and it's something that's gonna get worse before it gets better. He has had it pointed out to him time and again about paying attention to other people's emotions, he just doesn't care and doesn't see the point. 4 Link to comment

Sheldon can't read social cues. He did try though when he was older and got a little better at it. Although it's maddening to see that in someone, I do think it's innate. I've known a few people along the way that are similar to Sheldon with their inability to empathize with others; always have to be right; can't read social cues, and it seems to be something they can't easily correct. They see the world differently than most people do. I have a close relative who was recently diagnosed as being "on the spectrum." He's in therapy doing behavior modification, and while it helps to some extent, there are times when he's just an ass. I don't think he means to be, but I don't think he sees how he talks to others as a problem. 😉 1 7 Link to comment

I think it's a real strength of YS that both Mary and George - and even MeeMaw - really are unsure about what to do with Sheldon. It would have really messed with BBT for one thing to have had Sheldon grow up being perfectly parented and not developing the Sheldony personality those of us who watched BBT are familiar with, Also though this is small town Texas pre-google. They did not have the money or the resources to get the help they needed. They made mistakes. All parents make mistakes.

I know on the thread people say just think of them as two completely different shows, but I want them connected. I meant more along the lines of...yes George had some kind of mid life crisis, booze, women, yadda, yadda, yadda. Then he and Mary decided to get counseling, maybe things were starting to get better, then he died. Doesn't change anything, but it's something Sheldon might not know about especially if he's away at school. That's what I meant by a little more palatable. PS: I'm also on the team that says the show should end before this happens. Let the show end with Sheldon finally go away to college and the voice over can tell us what happened to everyone "Wonder Years-style" I really like your solution re: how to tie George as referenced in BBT with George in YS without offending either show's portrayal or making the character look like he died a scoundrel. However, I don't think the show should end all that soon and I don't think they'll want to end it so soon if the ratings stay high enough. I am still wondering if the show will actually kill George off or depart from BBT and keep him alive. It would seem kind of out of place for him to drink, have affairs and die, but I suppose we have a few seasons before that would happen anyway and a lot could change in that time. At this point I like this show so much I don't even care if they go off on their own alternate timeline. 4 Link to comment

WinnieWinkle March 14, 2021 Share March 14, 2021 I remember reading that aside from all else they just didn't want people writing in complaining that they were making mistakes with how Aspergers was depicted if they had come right out and said Sheldon had it. Makes sense to me. They had no intention of making Sheldon a role model for one thing and I think the more negative qualities Sheldon portrays would not have gone without criticism. Or alternatively they would have had people objecting that Sheldon wasn't conveying Asperger extremely enough. Well let's face it they already got enough criticism for refusing to say that Sheldon had it in the first place. No way would they not have been picked apart for how they had Sheldon be someone with Aspergers. 9 Link to comment

ItCouldBeWorse March 14, 2021 Share March 14, 2021 (edited) Perhaps they should show George getting hit in the head with an errant football and suffering a concussion. or somehow bring to light that he had suffered numerous concussions in his own football career. Sheldon as narrator might innocently state that after the concussion, his dad made a full recovery. Then, when George's bad behavior starts, his family may not make the connection to CTE, but the audience will. Edited March 15, 2021 by ItCouldBeWorse 1 Link to comment

Skimming this Wikipedia article, it looks like the show did stretch reality a bit, but not terribly, as there were at least "slot machines in 1996," but it looks like it would have been the early oughts before a scene like in the episode would have happened in Texas: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gambling_in_Texas 1988 seems to be a crucial date (Indian Gaming Regulatory Act, wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Gaming_Regulatory_Act). Do we know what year(s) Young Sheldon encompasses thus far? Regardless, I'm guessing most of the writers are Californians or familiar with that culture, which is a stone's throw from Reno, Nevada, and may have let their imaginations stray in that direction. Or the girls were just pulling a bit of a Thelma and Louise and made an excursion. In 1990, while I was home with 3 kids, including a baby, my now-ex called from 4+ hours away in Reno to ask if he should come home or go to Las Vegas. 2 Link to comment

Especially if Paige did indeed eventually go to an east coast school, possibly settled down in the area for her adulthood, and went into a professional field that had absolutely no crossover with Sheldon, like maybe medical. 1 1 Link to comment

I went to my high school reunion a few years ago and it was kinda sad how few people I actually remembered let alone had stayed in touch with over the years. I had some guy come up and tell me he used to sit behind me in math class and had a crush on me (wish I'd known that then!!!) and I had absolutely no clue who he even was. I concede that Sheldon doesn't forget anything, ever, but it's still not surprising that people he knew when he was 12 are no longer part of his life 30 ish years later. Besides my sister, i don't think I've seen anyone I went to high school with since maybe a couple of years after college. Actually, I've just thought of one exception. One of my classmates was my dad's physical therapist a few years ago and I saw her for 5 minutes when I visited. 1 Link to comment
