I have a bit of a beef with TBBT, the way Sheldon portrayed his dad. Turns out that George senior was really a decent father.

It was Sheldon’s POV though so it was a bit worse than we see

@@angelothehorrorfan5013 not at all. Different people have different opinions. Some think you drink a beer everyday you’re an alcoholic. Some see it morally wrong. Some see it as no problem at all.

[@melissa5907]

I’ve watched the entire TBBT series hundreds of times… and the final episode always makes me cry like a baby every single time, no matter how many times I’ve watched it. I absolutely love young Sheldon also… so glad they made it, they did an amazing job tying the two together. And I did tear up during the finale. Amazing cast, amazing writers. Only big plot hole I noticed was with Tam, since in TBBT he was put on his enemies list for not going to California with him. And in young Sheldon that was never a thing.

[@PKG_0923]

Some people say oh it’s just a show but no not to me if my mom or dad was working late I would watch it with them so it was a time with them I don’t want it to end !!!!

I just watched the finale. A whole lot of us know what it’s like to lose someone close to us. If I’ve learned anything is that whether we like it or not, grief hurts, but it has to. It’s like if you break your arm and you don’t know if you’ll ever be able to do your favorite activity again and you have to go to the hospital and have a cast put on it so it could heal correctly, stronger and it can be something you can talk about. Grief is the same. You have to deal with it so it can pass, and then you’re stronger

[@nancystevens4334]
