Young Sheldon Finale Shows The Coopers Moved on From George's Death.

[@mr.applejuice8546]

I really loved how each of the coopers reacted to george's death and the funeral it really fits their characters. George jr. Doubles down and reassures his dad that he will keep them all together just like he did Missy being emotionally intelligent recollects memories of her and her father and thanks him for all he did for her Sheldon seems to be void of emotion but the truth of the matter is that he is refusing to accept reality up the bitter end. He closes his mouth and retrears into a shell (something rare for him) and doesnt even say goodbye to his father at the funeral because he doesnt want to accept that he is gone Mary is mad, heartbroken, and above all else utterly destroyed. She demeans god and her husband because of the situation she is in now. Her and george were finally patching things up and everything seemed to be going amazingly until it was ripped away from her without mercy. And meemaw being as strong as she is ends up being mary's emotional support and presumably george jr.'s and missy as well The saddest part about this for me is the fact that because big bang theory came out first this eventually means that sheldon in refusal to accept reality regresses back to how he mentally was as a younger kid and unapologetically demonizes his father by twisting his memories of him as a form of moving on(the sheldon before this episode was opening up to others more and was less possessive of things like a child). Even in big bang theory sheldon never really recovered from that even during the last few scenes of the season.

[@cinexus]

You've said it all. We agree with all you said except the last paragraph. Sheldon went through three phases as he grows, the first phase was the young Sheldon, the second one is the matured Sheldon that hasn't given birth and lacks life experiences, and the third Sheldon is the Matured Sheldon, who is now the narrator of "Young sheldon" (the voiceover). The big Bang theory is about the life of the adult Sheldon, who has no life experiences, and so it is reasonable to say he judged his father, which is why he didn't regard him that much in the Big Bang theory. But now the adult Sheldon has matured, he has his own children, and life has placed him in different circumstances, which is why he now understood what his father went through and all the sacrifices he did for them. You can say that Sheldon has changed his perspective about his father as he goes through different phases of development.

Idk they should have made george cooper go to the hospital first with his family. Its just kinda unrealistic to announce that hes dead before they could even go to the hospital. Maybe its realistic for others, but i just didnt feel anything because of it tbh.

Having experienced the sudden death of my husband and his best friend, both from cardiac arrest, I was left with the same shock and grief as Sheldon and his family experienced. It was too real .

[@chancegoode173]

We knew it was coming but it just was such a shock after feeling so happy for George Sr finally getting a chance to coach on the college level things were all cherry with Mary agreeing to make the move the only issue was Sheldon not wanting the family to move but he two was moving so it wasn't a big deal in my mind.. then right towards the end of the show when i saw Georges co workers showing up at the door my heart sank I knew something was amiss, and when they said George had a heart attack my mouth fell wide open as tears welled up in my eyes over a tv comedy that seemed so real and sasd in that moment..Ill miss this family show it was written and acted so well.

[@ZephyrBW]

Grief is complex

[@MelB868]

These last two episodes are going to be so sad

[@Nicksolo85]

Dealing with death, especially in the immediate family is never ever an easy thing to deal with. As far as the Coopers acting normal, I usually like to believe that after the funeral itself is over, the healing process can officially begin as you slowly return to normalcy. At least, that's how I've often seen it. #1: Hearing that the person passed away & being sad and/or angry. #2: Adjusting & processing the person's death. #3: The wake, where you can share stories (usually happy ones) about the deceased person with others. #4: The funeral itself, expressing & dealing with emotions. #5: The healing process & slow return to normalcy (for lack of a better term) after the funeral is over. To me, #5 usually happens either way, regardless of whether or not there's an after party. Based on what I've seen, people are very sad during funerals (which is perfectly normal) & at the after party (if there is 1), there's usually more laughter or just regular socializing or whatnot.

[@tricorvus2673]

The major problem I had with the how was the character of Sheldon himself. Clueless as to other's feelings or foibles and absorbed with his own "genius." If his Dad's death woke him up, it was a brief ray of light...the laptop scene in church said it all.

[@bobjenkins9736]

Original laptop was in black and white. Just so you kids know. Color television existed but LCD was limitef and our laptops way thicker.

[@remyasmar418]

Honestly they should have continued the show and keep him on. Already the show lost all credibility for they never addressed George's affair so why not avoid his passing too.

Why? Its reasonable. Iain armitage is growing up, therefore Georges’ death came, and then the family got separated. Just like how Sheldon said on TBBT. You saw this coming.

[@AmTheBestDamnChick]

I think the writers underestimated how much people were gonna love that family and didn't want to let them go just like the wonder years. If George never had to die they definitely could have continued the show with Sheldon off at college that's how much the cast was liked by viewers

[@southernborn1358]

Oh. My. God. The first conclusion that “Missy, Mary, and Sheldon are beginning to move past their loss” is, frankly, shallow and without true empathy. A loss of this magnitude changes who you are, at your very essence-it’s a huge watershed moment in one’s life. You never get over a loss like this. Time, not weeks, but TIME-helps you adjust to the new normal, but I know that myself and my 2 daughters are still feeling the loss & still grieve and cry-and it’s been over 2 years since my husband died in his mid 50’s. A sudden, shocking tragedy-as illustrated by George’s passing.

[@athenaloki9967]

I think it’s a flashback for the church scene

[@ladyagnes9430]

I was wondering that since he signed up for that vasectomy so quickly maybe they didn't do a full history on him some folks who've had a history of blood clot problems can throw clots if they have surgical procedures. I have had blood clot problems after surgery and have been told that no elective surgery for me for almost anything because of that history since George had already taken had heart problems and how to heart attack I would think even with a vasectomy they'd have to do a full history on him

[@beckygalaz2210]

I think they should have made it to where the family fades out and then they could have brought in Sheldon as the older Sheldon and his wife and then as he's finishing the book or whatever the memoir he could have put my dad passed away whatever whatever I don't think it was the right time to have George die in the series

By accepting their death. But you can still see they’re not as happy as before, they’re trying to move on. Their faces are still filled with blight, not bright.
