But that’s okay, he says, because you can learn more from losing than you do from winning. tells his players, including Georgie, that they are almost certainly going to lose the game. had long ago recorded over his son’s message with game footage and a speech he made to his team during a game they were losing. “ Feynman?”īut young Sheldon’s words to older Sheldon - recorded in case of a future emergency in which adult Sheldon would come to doubt everything he believes in - are cut off at the most important moment, because George Sr. Sheldon gave it to him to bust out in case of an emergency, as it contains words of encouragement from the only person whose opinion Sheldon truly respects. The tape is introduced courtesy of Leonard, who’d been keeping it in a safe hidden behind a whiteboard in his and Penny’s living room. Sheldon is so arrogant, so confident in his intellect and his work, that it doesn’t feel genuine that he would simply give up, and become so dejected about his future, without further research, further thought.īut it seems even more unbelievable that he would be so easily snapped out of his despair by a couple of minutes of a rallying sports pep talk, and a not particularly moving one, at that. The Coopers’ reaction to the Russian paper has seemed rather extreme ever since Leonard told them about it. Sheldon thinks he has to question every opinion he’s ever had - maybe he actually likes jazz and asparagus, he suggests - all because his one theory isn’t sound, according to one source. Amy is even woken up one morning by the chaotic noise coming from the living room as Sheldon listens to music, watches TV, reads a book, and eats veggies at the same time. Sheldon’s staying in his apartment in his pajamas, so fragile that his friends come up with a list of words that sound anything like the word “symmetry” to avoid uttering in his presence. The story: Sheldon and Amy, but particularly Sheldon, have been moping around, doubting their futures in the scientific world (again, mostly Sheldon) since Leonard and Raj found an old Russian paper suggesting the Super-Asymmetry theory Shamy were banking their shared future on was, to use a Sheldon word, hokum. They deserved better for having made the journey.
Versions of tween Sheldon (Iain Armitage), his dad George (Lance Barber), and his older brother Georgie (Montana Jordan) - all from the heartfelt, Peabody-worthy TBBT prequel Young Sheldon - make the crossover to the future via the aforementioned videotape. Worse than the treacly scene that plays out when an old videotape of his football coach father giving a clichéd motivational speech to his high school team at halftime makes Sheldon emotional is that this final season episode of The Big Bang Theory wastes what would potentially have been a fine gimmick. Well, give it up to Sheldon Cooper for being incredibly resilient in the face of what he’d considered a career-defining failure.
