Question is if I read the TR right Raj asked a woman who was at the clinic in this episode. Will he be bringing her?

Hope not...too many people already, LOL!!!

which we later find out from Georgie and Leonard’s conversation was not true at all. For example Sheldon told Leonard how when he was 8 Georgie threw away his Halloween costume and he had to wear a blanket and be a ghost. When Leonard confronts Georgie he says Sheldon apparently was gonna dress as a ‘girl scientist’  (madam Curie) so he had to throw it away otherwise Sheldon would get beaten up ). Really loved the scene with Leonard and Georgie 

I think this is how it's going to be with most of Sheldon's recollections of his brother on TBBT. YS has to be served. It's the future. TBBT is winding down and it looks it.

I think there is some excitement in the YS fandom for seeing Georgie on TBBT. He is quite popular in terms of fans from what I've seen and read, Missy and Meemaw seem to have the most fans judging from comments. I only saw like three episodes if that and young Missy was the clear standout.

Anyway the shows are linked and it's to be expected that they would want to hype up the characters and it makes business sense as well.

Yeah, I also saw that coming. But it’s really not my cup of tea for a further long run.

PBS played the earlier versions on a loop for years where I lived, although William Hartnell's black and white episodes got played less. I can't be the only ones who saw them.

Yeah, from what I hear from many US fans who got into the show during the 80's or 90's it was them watching reruns on PBS - mostly any Doctor from the Pertwee onwards. (Many episodes from Hartnell's and Troughton's runs were lost, hence why they weren't on so much).

This would be around the time Leonard and Sheldon were first seeing them, I suppose. Tom Baker was before their time. Theirs would be Colin Baker or Peter Davidson IIRC.

More like Colin Baker and Sylvester McCoy. They might have been a bit young for when Peter Davison's (without the d! lol) run debuted.

I wonder if the new clerk at the Comic Book store is going to be Raj's date, or maybe Stuart's date, to the wedding. She was a very unlikely wedding guest, TBH, I get that Sheldon and Amy liked her in the episode airing this week, but they have known her for how long...one month? It's odd they invited her. Maybe it's a set up and she will be a recurring character for the next season. if she is a truly "nerdy" girl, with similar interests to those of the guys (I didn't understand from the spoilers for the episode if she really likes comic books and super-heros or she fakes interest for those things to sell them) it can be a fun addition to the show.

I was gonna ask you why haven’t you seen the episode yet ? And then I realized they just showed it to us tonight and not on tv haha 🤦🏼‍♀️ Must be 5am and a very emotional day)

It’s clear from that episode she liked comic books, she states that out right. Very funny episode btw , loved the comic book store storyline 

Didn’t like the comet storyline so much, Raj comes off as such a jerk there :/ and Penny a little mean and Leonard a little like not having a backbone :/ in my opinion not the best episode for all 3 of them :/ (but just my 2 cents )

Sad but true. Another time the writers want to change TBBT history on the fly. Nothing is anything sacred, not even Sheldon's perfect memory.

I did not like how Georgie sounds for years but since I started to watch YS my bigest curiosity was how they would perform him as adult from what they have told about him as teen. Imo from this tr it seems they found a good balance between the two ages viewers know about the character. Looking foward to watch it on screen.

And I really love when the show offers us nice moments between Leonard and Sheldon as they would behave  like they were brothers. Leonard had helped Sheldon in some of his most important life moments and imo it was really very insightful and spot on Leonard helped these sibbiligs to make up old pendent issues. Kudos to the writers in this one!

I'm often really disappointed when they have actors play themselves but enjoyed much of what they had James Earl Jones do.

I can think of 4 actors that did a great job of playing themselves, Nathan Fillion, Bill Nye, James Earle Jones and Bill Gates. There may have been more. That's all I can think of at the top of my head.

I didn't see them, but then again I don't watch Dr Who.

My bet is she is Stuart's date to the wedding

I remember Stuart telling Penny he went to weddings with his cousin. Then asked Penny to go with him to that cousin's wedding. That was season 3 and Penny was with Leonard at the time, so she asked if she could bring Leonard. That was the Sheldon going to jail/Stan Lee episode.

So here goes a TR, I def don’t have the insane memory some of the people on here have , so ofc some details are missing (also some jokes I do remember but skipping them otherwise it would get unbearably long and I just can’t type that much x D). I did remember way more though than I expected to. The pink eye storyline is the vaguest in my mind, probably cause all of those scenes were pretaped due to them needing make up for that, so we only saw them once.

Also English is not my native language, so I’m gonna avoid citation rules completely sorry 

 

Cold open is 4B. Sheldon’s on the phone arguing with his mom, Amy walks in a second before they finish talking. Sheldon is very annoyed and asks rhetorically guess who my mom insists attends our wedding... Amy sarcastically asks if it’s Jesus. Sheldon says he wishes, instead she’s insisting he invites his brother. Amy’s surprised he hasn’t invited him in the first place. They talk a little more about it but I don’t remember the details 

 

Second scene is Bernadette’s apartment, Amy, Penny and Bernadette are in the living room . Amy is giving the girls some kind of pre-wedding gifts?, something nice from her and Purell  x D and something else ridiculous from Sheldon. She tells the girls about the whole Georgie drama, that Mary’s threatening not to come if Georgie isn’t gonna be there. Penny and Bernadette joke that with the drama now it sounds like a real wedding

Then Howard shows up and asks how would you know somebody has a pink eye. Bernie describes the symptoms and he says ok, so both of our kids have pink eye. Then he’s trying to get downstairs (he was in the stairs coming from the second floor) and Amy’s saying what are you doing, I have a wedding in a week. Howard’s still trying to get downstairs so Penny jumps across the sofa (idk how to describe it haha) and blocks his way, it was so funny. She or Bernie tell Howard to go take a shower and burn the clothes he’s wearing (or better all of his clothes , Penny says). It was so funny, Kaley cracked up and they had to do another take 

4A

Leonard and Raj are playing some video games and chat and Raj says he doesn’t wanna be the only single person at the wedding. Leonard says he’s not gonna be, there’s Stuart and Amy’s great aunt. Although he better hurry up cause Stuart’s already friended her on Facebook. Raj thinks maybe he could invite the girl who waxes him, he keeps no secrets from her after all. Leonard makes a joke that’s not something to brag about (not in these exact words). Sheldon comes in frustrated and asks Leonard isn’t Leonard’s brother the worst. Leonard says not really , but it’s not a fair competition cause there’s always his mom (different line in the third take). Then Raj mentions his brother ?Adut?, they used to fight but now they’re like best of friends. Leonard says how come you’ve never mentioned him. Raj says sure I have, he’s the one who left the door open when we were kids and my pet mangust got out. Then he gets mad and says ‘stupid Adut!’

Either after or in the middle is this scene Sheldon mentions he’s been trying to call his brother but he doesn’t wanna talk to him. The guys ask how can he be sure. He calls his brother and puts it on speaker and the voicemail says if it’s Sheldon calling, stop calling. They wonder what else could he do then to get Georgie to come to the wedding... Cut to Sheldon and Leonard on a plane and Leonard questioning how did he end up here if he kept saying no haha

The rest I’m gonna describe out of order cause it’s easier. 

 

Raj storyline 

At some point Raj and Bernie are talking and he wonders why is it so hard to find a date. He wishes there was a service that’d let you pay and get a company... so basically an escort, Bernadette says. Raj says no no, not for sex (although if it goes well it could lead to sex), but just for human company. Bernadette says gotcha... so an escort. Raj says stop saying escort! She says she will when he stops meaning it.

Then at some point in another scene he mentions to Bernie he got a date. Not for the wedding, but a regular date. But if it goes well, for Shamy’s wedding as well. And if it goes really well, for his wedding. 

At some other scene he says the date fell short. Bernie says how come and the camera cuts to him and we see he’s got pink eye.

But then in the tag he meets a girl at a pharmacy who also has pink eye and he asks her to go to the wedding with him 

 

Pink eye storyline

First we see Howard get pink eye and at some point he mentions Raj probably shouldn’t have borrowed his VR glasses the other day... Then also Bernie gets it and then Amy. 

At some point there’s a scene where penny’s Skyping with Bernie I think ? in 4A, Amy comes in , freaks out that if Sheldon finds out he’s gonna cancel the wedding. Somebody makes a joke that they could tell him the wedding theme is the Walking Dead and it’s just make up and they all agree he’d probably buy it

Amy has touched Penny’s laptop while talking to Bernadette, Penny was like could you not touch it but Amy was mad i think and didn’t care. After she leaves, Penny purells the laptop and says oh look, purell did come

In handy after all! It was so funny 

Throughout the episode we find out they’re all kinda mad at Penny she’s the only one who wasn’t infected 

Next to last scene of that storyline they all go to a clinic and wait for Bernie (she took the kids in) to find out if it’s bacterial or not. It is, so they’re happy, it’s gonna be gone before the wedding

Last scene is Amy Skyping with Sheldon and she only shows half of her face so that he can only see the eye that wasn’t infected. Some funny talk between them (btw I was wrong , so we have 2 Shamy scenes). She suggests since he made up with his brother maybe he and Leonard should stay in Texas for ... (reads the instruction on the bottle of her medicine) next 2-3 days 

Honestly it sounds a bit stupid when you describe it like that haha but it wasn’t a bad storyline, just not my favorite cause I personally don’t like it when they mention sicknesses like that that are kinda visual... and esp when they show it. It was quite graphic x D

 

Georgie storyline

Sheldon and Leonard are in Texas and go to the tire store Georgie owns. It’s called Dr Tire. Sheldon freaks out of course and says the only doctor there is him. Leonard says um I have a Phd also. Sheldon says do you wanna wait in the car?! 

Georgie comes out and Sheldon says hello Georgie and he says he goes by ‘George’ now. Sheldon says it doesn’t work for him. Leonard introduces himself, they shake hands. Georgie says they haven’t talked in over 10 years, but of course, once Sheldon needs something from him he’s there. Some overused but funny jokes about Sheldon not getting sarcasm.

Next scene is in Georgie’s office, he says so let me get this straight, you weren’t gonna invite me to the wedding, but then mom said she wouldn’t go, so now you want me to be there. Sheldon says I know you don’t hear this often, but you’re exactly right. Leonard says ‘not helping Sheldon’. Georgie says in a sugar coated voice well, if you wanted me there, all you had to do was ask nicely. So Sheldon does that (doesn’t come easy for him x D ) and Georgie replies he’d rather swallow a pregnant cat and lets all her litter come out of him x D than be at his wedding (different line in the first 2 takes about swallowing a snake, but I think they’ll go with this one cause this was way funnier). Sheldon says wow I see why you got into tires , cause you are tiresome! Leonard says let’s go and pulls him out. As they’re walking out Sheldon asks if that was too rude... Leonard says not to rude... and not too good.

In the hotel room Sheldon’s on the phone with his mom. He’s trying to tell her how it went but we get the idea she shuts him up cause we just see him sit down and get sad and say ‘yes mam.... yes mam... yes mam’ (basically the same replies as when he was speaking to her in the cold open). Leonard asks what that’s about and Sheldon says his mom is not getting in the middle of it, she says they should work it out between them. Leonard asks why Sheldon doesn’t want Georgie there in the first place... Sheldon says it’s cause he was a bully and mentions that Halloween story I’ve mentioned in one of the previous posts. Leonard says let me go talk to him...

At some point in that scene he mentions he knows what it feels like to live with a bully, Sheldon asks your brother bullied you too? He says no, he meant Penny

Leonard walks in Georgie’s office, Georgie’s on the phone on a business call. Can’t really repeat the conversation , they talk a bit about his work . Then Georgie says look if it’s about Sheldon, there’s nothing you can do. Leonard says but he’s your brother! Georgie says they have nothing in common. Leonard says that’s not true, you’re both tall, you’re both brothers... I don’t know why I started it like it was a list. Georgie says a line that I can’t remember, Maybe that Leonard’s completely wrong? And Leonard says hey! That’s a really Sheldon thing to say

Then they kinda bond and talk, Georgie says you know how I got to open my first tire store ? I had to bust my ass off, cause all of the extra money we’ve got were always spent on Sheldon. Sheldon’s college tuition, him going to study in Germany... (probably there was some more) And how does it feel after all of that to still know he’s mom’s favorite kid? Leonard says if it helps, he’s my mom’s favorite too 

Then Georgie offers him a beer, Leonard says sure but could you open it for me? Georgie says it’s (that kind of beer that opens easily, forgot the word... ). Leonard says ‘I know’. Georgie looks at him weirdly haha and opens it, it was one of the funniest scenes. 

Leonard says I’m sure Sheldon wasn’t the easier brother to grow up with, but look, you haven’t exactly been super nice to him either... what about that time on Halloween when you stole his costume? Georgie says ‘but he was gonna dress like a girl scientist!’ Leonard says madam Curie? Georgie says thinkingly ‘I didn’t know she was a madam!...’ Point is Georgie says he was gonna get beaten up for that, I did it to protect him. Then Leonard wonders what about the time you used to sit on his head when he tried to watch Star Trek? Georgie said well that was just funny. Leonard agrees. Georgie says he did a lot for Sheldon, he protected him, drove him around, apologized to people for him... I’m sure you’ve had to do all of that too and Leonard says yes he does all that, he can relate

Maybe there was a bit more 

I really loved that scene 

Next scene is hotel room, some funny moments with Sheldon calling room service but he doesn’t wanna order anything, he wants to correct their spelling in the menu. Leonard walks in with Georgie and says Sheldon, I think you gotta apologize to your brother... Sheldon is like ‘wtf’ and looks at Leonard and says ‘I’m sorry?!!’ Leonard says good , just like that , but more sincere and in that direction (points to Georgie). Georgie says forget it, it’s a bad idea, it’s like patching a tire.. and actually maybe not the best example cause one should never try to patch a tire, always get a new one 

Then Sheldon and Georgie kinda started accusing each other standing opposite each other on different sides of the room , and Leonard between them, and Leonard says good start , let all those feelings out, they both simultaneously turn to him and tell him to shut up, at that moment they do look like brothers and actually having way more in common then they think. So Leonard steps aside and they talk. 

Georgie says I’m sorry life hasn’t been easy for you, but it hasn’t been easy for the rest of us either. Do you think it was easy for us when dad died and you went away to college ? Mom was a mess. Sheldon says how can this be true, I’ve talked to mom all the time and she seemed fine ! And what about missy. Georgie says well it’s because she was trying to protect you! And missy was a stupid teenager, I’ve had to take care of both of them. Sheldon says then why you haven’t said anything, Georgie said that’s cause I was trying to protect you too, you’re my baby brother. Sheldon is a bit taken aback 

Actually a really powerful emotional scene. There was complete silence in the audience during Georgie’s speech)

Then Sheldon genuinely says I’m sorry... And it would mean a lot to me to have my big brother with me at the wedding. Georgie says he wouldn’t miss it. 

Then he puts his hand on Sheldon’s shoulder, Sheldon instead of hugging him pats his hand... After like a minute of complete silence the audience finally laughed)

Cut to Leonard who’s tearing up and says ‘am I crazy or does it feel like we just patched a tire?’ Then a little comedy moment with Sheldon looking at him judgementaly and saying come on Leonard, weren’t you listening, he JUST said one should never patch a tire 

I think that’s it : )

Thank you!

[Soopysue]

Thanks so much @brilliantfool what an amazing summary - sounds a good episode. Hope you had a fab time at the taping x

[bfm]

Thank you @brilliantfool! You're awesome! Enjoy the rest of your stay

 

The episode sounds good. The only thing that bothered me did really bothered me - the "Penny is a bully" joke. This seems to me like taking the "Penny is mean to Leonard" comments/jokes too far. I can see Leonard feeling she is mean to him at times, but bullying? That feels unjustified. If that joke was made on Bernadette I wouldn't have any issue with that but I hadn't seen something that would justify saying Penny is a bully. 

 

ETA: And happy birthday @Nogravitasatall!

So, Either Sheldon doesn't have a true eidetic memory or he just remembers what he wants to remember, the way he wants to remember events from the past. Seems Sheldon's memory is being thrown under the bus, so to speak, for the benefit of YS.

Thank you @bfm .  I found that quite troubling myself.  Also a bit of backtracking after an otherwise nice Season 11 for them.....(the brief mention @brilliantfool [thank you very, very much @brilliantfool , you are a rock star!!!] gave us for this Thursday's episode sounded troubling as well...and maybe troubling is too harsh a word, but....).

I don't see Penny bullying Leonard. Maybe being mean to him if he doesn't take her side in the argument with Raj. I guess that could be considered payback for Penny taking Sheldon's side in that Game of Thrones viewing episode.

Sheldon is remembering facts and occurrences, not the feelings behind them.  He remembers that his brother threw away his Halloween costume, but did not know the reason why.  He knew from communications with his mother while he was away at school that she was "fine" not that they were suffering a financial burden and in (probably) a deep depression over the death of George Sr.  The scene with George Jr. fits in with what we know of Missy.  Even though she appeared very, very early in the series (season 1 or 2, I can't recall--sorry).  In that episode we see her as snarky and teasing of Sheldon, but in the end very caring. 

I am no way a fan of Sheldon---he is my least favorite character, but I'm giving him and the writers the benefit of the doubt here

I'm glad you are, as somebody on here told me, I am down on the writers and would not put anything past them. I swear if something happens in YS where George Jr turns into the bullying ass of a brother, the writers will change that here as well. Saying Sheldon was right all along.

It reminds me of radio newsman Paul Harvey's "The rest of the story". He would tell you little known info about a famous story and would end it by saying "And now you know the rest of the story".

When YS was in the pipeline, we discussed this.  It's how I for one hoped it would be. We talked about how what an adult remembers from a childhood's viewpoint can be very different from what's really going on. This is normal human psychology, not just Sheldon. Adult Sheldon's narration is very useful at times.

I don't think Georges name will ever be mentioned again on TBBT after May 10. Although this storyline is done mostly for YS it make Leonard IMO look good.

First of all, thank you for the TR, @brilliantfool!!!

Second, I'm not sure Sheldon's general review (so to speak)  about George are all inaccurate, based on the bold part. 

George thought it was funny to sit on Sheldon's head when he was trying to watch the TV show, but to Sheldon, someone sat on his head after all, so George WAS a bully. 

George thought Sheldon was gonna get beaten up because of the Female costume, so he threw away the costume, but to Sheldon, George did throw away his things.

Which reminded me, Penny once said that if one of her classmates didn't want to be beaten up (or something like that) , then he shouldn't show up at school wearing a bow tie.

So,  maybe to that classmate, Penny IS a bully.

No doubt about it, in high school, Penny was a bully. I think she said if he didn't want a mouth full of either dirt or grass. If anything Bernadette has emerged as the bully. Even Howard is afraid of her.

Yeah, I liked how they kept it pretty balanced here and didn't suddenly paint Georgie as a saint or whatever. He had moments where he protected Sheldon and he had moments where he was just a dick to his little brother like siblings tend to be ever so often. I can see where Sheldon's resentments towards Georgie comes from and I can see where Georgie's resentment towards Sheldon comes from.

I wonder if Sheldon went to George's weddings ? He said Georgie married for the first time when he was nineteen.
