Young Sheldon Finale'

This one is pretty emotional. Damn onions.

Watching it now. If you’ve been following this show at all, have a box of tissues handy. Onions everywhere nonstop.

Great show, I liked The Big Bang Theory but Young Sheldon was a better show IMO. I understand the shock if someone didn’t watch Big Bang. The last two episodes were well done and a great send off to Young Sheldon.

I was shocked last week even though I knew it was coming eventually. The episode was almost over and I knew there was a two part finale coming up so I figured it would be later.

I may be on an island on this, but I thought it was lackluster and did a really poor job at wrapping up the various storylines.

No final update on Paige

Missy isn't going to be part of the Georgie & Mandy spinoff

They never address why Sheldon portrayed his dad as a dysfunctional alcoholic loser in BBT, even though we all saw that he was a great dad and a good provider who put his family first

No answer from Sheldon on why he never thanked Dr Sturgis or Professor Proton in his Nobel speech

No indication of why Meemaw went from being so awesome in YS to sucking out loud as a bitter harpy in the one BBT episode

I watched big bang but possibly missed a season or show or two. I recall Shelly speaking all about his life but not the part about him dying.

Tonight had me in tears. I am glad to see they will carry on in the fall with Georgie.

It was really superb acting. Mary doesn't even have a TX accent IRL.

Mary's IRL mother was Roseanne's sister

Supposedly the reason Sheldon knocked 3 times was he walked in on his mom and dad having sex, and thought Mary dressed as the German lady was George his dad, cheating.

So BBT Sheldon's perception was that of a drunk loser dad because of this...and the writers liked saying a middle class man coach from TX was a loser--in their perception--

Maybe Paige and the older Missy will be in the new show with MeeMaw and Mary?

The show was narrated from Sheldon's perspective as a child. BBT demonstrated his extended adolescence, same perspective as a child.

Viewers have the benefit of objectivity in YS.

This was addressed in the last few scenes when Sheldon said he viewed his dad as "loser" but in reality, since becoming a father, realized he was a man doing the best he could.

It's not perfect but I think that was the retcon intention.

The show has always been speculated as having been Sheldon writing his memoirs (hence the Jim Parsons VO) and finally confirmed in the last episode.

What I was hoping for was a line or two from Parsons' character explaining to the viewer or to Amy that his regrets that he had about his lack of appreciation for his father made it easier for him to mischaracterize him to his friends that he met later in life. He understood that George was a great dad, and even if he wanted to believe otherwise, his eidetic memory wouldn't let him.
