I always loved the scene with Young Leonard, Young Howard, Young Raj, Young Penny, Young Bernadette, and Young Amy.

[orangeapple]

Leonard is the key for everything, all the connections to his friends. That’s why Sheldon loves him so much.

[lord_egg]

I love how Howard’s room is the same one he’s sleeping in almost a decade later as an adult.

[beeeee]

I cried on the episode where no one showed up in Sheldon's Nobel Prize Announcement listening party then they showed how each of his future friends were doing at that very same time. AND LEONARD WAS LISTENING TOO! IT WAS MEANT TO BE 🥺

Amy: "By the way, your daughter wants to take acting class."
Sheldon: "I told you, we never should've let Penny babysit."

[isaacakindipe]

Amy - "Be happy I let you name him Leonard" 😄😄

[brucki-s]

"Howard, turn off that ferkakte game and go to sleep!"
So damn hilarious xD

I just noticed that it was daytime when Raj was shown in India. Such great detailing 👏

[ruovituoDavid]

He never gives credit to anyone who is not genius in science but he thanked Missy 😭😭😭

[Karan-pnxs]

To hear Howards mom's nostalgic yelling again puts a smile on my face

[halahand]

It's like I'm watching The Big Bang Theory except without the "laughter"😂😂😂

[CeltycSparrow]

Awww. The young versions of the cast for TBBT are ADORABLE. Especially Leonard and Amy (love that she is reading Little House on the Prairie). And I love that Sheldon and Amy name their son Leonard. Its beautiful.

6:35
Sheldon's graduation speech was one of the best scenes from this series. Love it.

I loved all the keepsakes from Sheldon and Leonards apartment that Sheldon has in his study. The couch, his cushion, the throw, the battle bots picture that used to be on the closet door behind the couch, the rubix cube tissue holder and even the signed photo of Professor Proton from his childhood bedroom. And it was great that the camera lingered for a moment, so we could pause and take it all in. Love that.

1:16 I like that they included his mother

[Wildcatevdog]

6:24 I just now realized he took the couch

[chocolate]

I was about to cry when sheldon said his sons name as Leonard Cooper thinking how much Sheldon loves his bestfriend to even name his son after him. The feeling was gone and i burst into laughter when he was supposed to name his son after Leonard Nimoy, and not his bestfriend 😂

[richardmiller]

My head cannon is that Leonard Cooper has the DNA of Leonard Nimoy from the Napkin Penny gave Sheldon. Sheldon did not tell Amy.

[animemanXLK]

Honestly Leonard Nimoy Cooper sounds like a great name.

[raynor]

My favorite detail of all the kids: Leonard is also staying up late to listen to the Nobel announcements. Subtle reminder that Leonard and Sheldon really are two peas in a pod and would have been best friends at any age.
