SRAM Posted February 23, 2018 Posted February 23, 2018 Actually what YS does for me is it just proves that there is nothing wrong with adult Sheldon, he was an asshat when he was young and he is an asshat as an adult, who doesn’t deserve the friends he has. 1 hour ago, Mario D. said: I am sympathetic to yr comment. It is one thing to hear condescenion. insults, and obnoxiousness from an adult but to hear it from a nine yr old borders on criminal. I agree, a child being an asshat and getting away with it is criminal and sets a poor example to children who watch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mee-Maw, my second favorite character here to Missy, is not warm and fuzzy, but quite a hard, sarcastic woman. She loves her grandchildren, but does not suffer fools gladly or should I say does not take b.s., including from Sheldon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't have a drunken abusive father on a sitcom. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is that it peaks around 14. By adulthood one would hope a person has grown up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the contrary, I absolutely believe you can portray such a person if you are so inclined. Chuck Lorre in his television shows certainly does not shy away from showing us the dark side. Mom, Two and a Half Men, Mike & Molly, Grace Under Fire all include or included very, very unsympathetic characters. Some (the Harper Brothers) were downright cringe worthy...... Also, I don't find Young Sheldon dumb at all. I actually enjoy following this version of the Cooper family. I fear for the family if they take George, Sr. down a certain path. As I mentioned, I adore Missy, think Mee-Maw is a hoot, I have an appreciation for the portrayal of George, Jr. and enjoy the "what the heck is going on here" views of George Sr...... Probably not the right thread for this, but an interesting conversation nevertheless.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonny Posted March 9, 2018 Posted March 9, 2018 Articles everywhere abut Sheldon's first crush on a girl.

It was an appreciation of someone with a similar intelligence. She was older and that ended up being the issue (not wanting to spoil you or anyone with too many details). I have to admit, this episode was the first time I have taken issue with Molaro/Lorre and their (at this point) retconning certain aspects of known Cooper family lore. Some may think that I'm making a stretch here, but I think we are getting near the point where we need to take YS as an entirely unrelated entity.

There is no reason to assume he didn't. I mean ...he isnt asexual or aromantic, is he ?Also he is 9 years in YS so it seemed like a platonic one sided 'crush' on an older girl who was intelligent and introduce him to geology . I think they just wanted to explain why Sheldon is so dismissive of geology. I feel they will soon run out of jokes if they start coming up with explanations for all his quirks !

I think it was pretty clear he didn't, especially with some of the things he said to Amy in key moments. It's not unheard of for a young boy to develop a crush on a girl even an older girl at that age, not sure it fits with what I know about Adult Sheldon and his journey in this show. I'll be honest one my main fears, you can check my posts at the first or second page of this thread was the subject of girls and feelings for girls. Because it was so well established on the show in my view what the deal was with Sheldon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He met a friend who he saw as an equal who he could learn something from. He was crushed in a different way. As I saw it this episode explains much about Sheldon Cooper and his fragile ego, his need to be superior...

joyceraye Posted March 10, 2018 Posted March 10, 2018 (edited) How realistic was the eating of a packed lunch in the school library ? Is it allowed in American schools ? I know I left school a long time before 1989, but even then books were still made out of paper and susceptible to finger marks and spilled juice. In my schooldays the library was definitely not a permitted picnic area ! Edited March 10, 2018 by joyceraye Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that equipment they had was great ! I left school before anything like that was available. I'd have loved it. Although having said that, there was something in the Rural Science department that shone a light through an egg to see if it had been fertilised. We also had a beehive you could see into on (not in) the Biology lab,which I found not exciting at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
