Stephen Hawking Posted October 20, 2017 Posted October 20, 2017 Wil Wheaton isn't trained in science, so why would he think he could be the new PP? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretending to be someone who you aren't is his job. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's given me a thought : if Sheldon got the job, he'd be contradicting the script writers all the time. Could be good for some laughs. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

3ku11 Posted October 21, 2017 Posted October 21, 2017 Sheldon and Wheton are rivals again, even for only one episode? YES! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfm Posted October 21, 2017 Posted October 21, 2017 It is unclear where Leonard is in this episode, maybe he accompanies Sheldon and winds up getting the part! LOL Just kidding! I want him to teach at the university not on TV. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen Hawking Posted October 21, 2017 Posted October 21, 2017 Actually, I'd have said it was derived from Sheldon's false presumption, that Leonard wanted to discuss his career, as opposed to Amy and Stuart going on a date. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheldon's been undermining Leonard's work since the pilot. So this is nothing new unfortunately. Sheldon falsey presumed Leonard wanted to discuss his career. Which was predicated on the idea in Sheldon's point of view. Leonard is washed up as a physicist. I don't see Sheldon making any real contribution to Physics though lately. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only Ramona and Patsy were positive about him. Dave Giggs did seem to have heard Leonard lecture, but that was not at Caltech 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheldon is generally condescending toward nearly all practical applications of science, as Leonard and Amy, and Howard do. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheldon has been demeaning Leonard's work since the pilot. Him being a jackass to everyone does not justify that.

I can't think where else I could have got the name from. I've no idea why I got them muddled. Had I not been doing this since I was about thirty-five I'd say it was old age catching up with me. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
