About Young Sheldon:
It’s 1989 and 9-year-old Sheldon Cooper has skipped four grades to start high school along with his less-intellectual older brother. As he struggles to be understood by his family, classmates and neighbors, his mother arms him with the best tool she can come up with: reminding bullies his dad is the football coach and his brother is on the team. His twin sister doesn’t share his exceptional mind, but she has a much clearer vision of what life has in store for the young genius.

[GeetChandKapur]

"It was my dream to win the Nobel, and now I'm not going to. I bet Sheldon will." Who teared up at that?

[Goldenaxeandsonicallday]

"you know neutrinos are interesting, they never bond with anything, they're always alone" my favourite line

[cm_]

The way this made me want to sob. Having your dream ripped from you, and also recognizing that you’re alone. That shit can ruin any person.

[megsie]

I know TBBT was filmed earlier but I really wish Dr Sturgis was mentioned in it, especially in the Nobel speech by Sheldon. The character really deserves it seeing how much he meant to Sheldon.

[trinaq]

The ending of this episode is one of my favourite scenes in this show to date. It's not only heartwarming knowing that Sheldon will one day be surrounded by many of his closest friends, and his future wife, but this episode originally aired on the same night that its parent show concluded its lengthy run.

[natrzzy]

"Neutrinos are interesting, they never bond with anything. They're always alone."

[Froyy]

"It was my dream to win the Nobel, and now I'm not going to. I bet Sheldon will." This made me cry 😢

[hutaaga]

The beauty of old couple bounding. They think about each other more than they think about themselves.

[sarcsmqueen]

Seeing Dr. Sturgis struggle with mental problems hits home. My mom struggles with mental illness and I remember seeing her have a nervous breakdown for the first time when I was 7 years old. She didn't want to expose me to a harsh reality at such a young age so instead of talking to me she isolated herself when she felt a breakdown coming on. She has only ever had 3 that I witnessed, but it was heartbreaking each time

[trinaq]

"It was my dream to win the Nobel, and now I'm not going to. I bet Sheldon will." John was insanely accurate, I'm sure that he was immensely proud of Sheldon when he DID finally win the Nobel as an adult!

[Celeste]

Meema learns about John's past prior to this scene in this episode.
She begins to worry when John starts weeding goose grass in the middle of the night in the dark and then breaking into the main frame computer lab at work. She then sees written equations in the bathroom, under the toilet seat, and this behavior wasn't normal. It was showing that he was losing his mind (one of the equations he wrote on the bathroom wall was: time + heat + bread = toast).

From the "Hello!" to the "You know, neutrinos are interesting, they never bond with anything, they're always alone.", and ending with "It was my dream to win the Nobel, and I'm not going to. I bet Sheldon will." All these lines left me broken for this man, how he also feels alone and will never be recognized for his work in science. Even the background music makes this scene so eerie and sad. Kudos to Wallace Shawn for this role.

[jsetennis]

When you see a loved one struggling with mental health it is so sad 😥

[Bmanlegoboy]

The fact this episode aired the same night as the finale of the Big Bang Theory where Sheldon and Amy win the Nobel hits even harder with that line John said about Sheldon one day winning the Nobel. Masterful writing

[alinaeaj]

I love dr sturgis the man is the most brilliant character who never got enough credit

[zoso]

The neutrino metaphor in its subtlety got me in the feels.

[vedantdesai]

Unfortunately this is true for most in academia… and as an academic researcher, this hits hard. All of us being “experts” in our field try our best to be solidified in history, and be remembered as one of the greatest scientist to ever live - to have contributed to a great extent to the human race. But the truth is, there are millions of papers written by academics that lie in the corner of databases that are never even read by anyone. Luckily, I’m not in academia for the glory or prestige - I’m in it to keep learning. I like to pursuit the knowledge and that is what drives me. I couldn’t care less about awards - although I have revived a few despite my early years as an academic

[elizaaaaa]

WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT THE There’s boobies on my tv”

[TheHomesun]

“I think that one went right through my pants.”

I don’t know why but hearing that always makes me laugh

[davidk]

instead of arguing over a fictional character can we just acknowledge how good Wallace Shawn was in that clip to even make you have this discussion?

[goodcitizen]

Meemaw is the nicest person on the show.
