Meemaw Learns More About Dr. Sturgis’ Past (Clip) | Young Sheldon | TBS

[@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?

[@toonzelda3353]

Me 😢. I'm sorry.. I couldn't hold it in. He had a dream but never had the chance to fufill it. He mentors Sheldon and is one of the few people Sheldon as a kid has something in common with their personalities. Sheldon does just like he says. Sturges he did it! He won the Nobel. Its really sad cause we don't see him in TBBT presumably him being dead..

[@D_Knowledge-b5l]

Do you know the soundtrack of this scenee?

[@odinson2008]

I teared-up when Meemaw lovingly reached out and desperately said p-l-e-a-s-e...

[@ryanarment5393]

It's heartbreaking because he devoted himself and his life's work to science, and he realized that nothing he did would achieve any lasting recognition.

[@Pesoplomo1523]

I felt my throat getting tighter when I saw the roof door open, and then I just gave up when he got to the neutrino 😢

[@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

[@cm_0011]

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.

[@odinson2008]

WELL SAID - IN A MOST PROFOUND WAY! YOU MUST HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS!

[@chrisdraughn5941]

[@Hal-k8p]

I have come to accept it and live with it. Being alone ain't that bad. You live your life a certain way and finally realize that this is all you deserve, so it's all you get. So be it.

[@HasufelyArod]

For this reason one can think she, Meemaw, saved John in a way. She definitely did help him have a nicer less lonely life. Love can save anyone, just like solitude can ruin and destroy any person emotionally. 🎉🎉🎉😢😢😢❤❤❤😂😂😂😊😢🎉

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

[@megsie1424]

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.

[@Chicklo11]

In the show Sheldon mentions that his Grandfather was always supportive of him. Young Sheldon his Grandfather is already dead. We don't know for how long (it may have been mentioned, but I don't recall) Head canon that Sheldon is referring to John as a grandparent figure.

[@bobbyb396]

So reading that this is being spoken about early.

[@megsie1424]

@@Chicklo11 His real grandpa on the show also shared similar interests. I like Dr Sturgis so I hope he and Meemaw get back together for good and he becomes Sheldon's other grandpa.

[@amaimonpheles8]

I think in his speech he would add them in the many papers... Since it's one of the ruing moments Sheldon experience...

[@rossgrigos3853]

@@Chicklo11I always thought Dr. Sturgis was a grandfather figure to Sheldon. He is actually my favorite character on the show.

[@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.

[@Celeste7737]

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.

[@horrorking6409]

It’s so good, I get emotional with it, I really wanna find the background music it’s used quite often in the show

[@vedantdesai1]

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

[@jsetennis9224]

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

[@dungeonslayer8122]

I thought he was thinking of committing suicide. He was similar to Sheldon. Even Sheldon said he saw particles and when his mom look at missy..missy said it your kid. 😂. But sheldon got extremely lucky. Lottery winner lucky when he met leonard. Leonard tolerated what most wouldn't and connected him with penny raj and howard and then he met amy through raj and Howard..but it all start with Leonard.. without that sheldon be friendless and probably never have got married like dr surgis. He never would have won the Nobel without amy. His life could have ended up very similar

[@shaun2513]

Nah sheldon could have just met other guy. Or he could have took the field of stock market and become rich.

[@ellisjames7192]

Totally agree. Leonard saved Sheldon from Dr.Surgis's fate. My thoughts exactly. Even Sheldon's mother thought he would end up alone. Remember Sheldon never worked well with others. Was Dr. Sturgis ever mentioned in TBBT?
