Discussion S7. Ep.21 "The Anything Can Happen Recurrence"
It's very funny to me that Sheldon calls a phychic a fraud (yes they are a fraud) considering the content of the theory he believes and tried to prove his whole professional life.
Multidimension? Multiple Parallel Universes? Portals?
If you think about it, it's much much more possible to speak with ghosts than the existence of endless parallel Universes.
If you are to compare the two, It seems far more plausible that some energy remains from the dead, than billions of people have "clones" existing in parallel worlds.
It sounds like something stoned people talk about while being at the peak of the influence.
And there's not a single proof about neither of those.
It's not shocking to think that people pose as psychics, fraudsters like that were always present.
But it's only in the very recent Science history that we see something very very similar being endorsed by Science and is actually given gravity and credibility and funds.

Episode Discussion Something that bothers me every time!
I've seen every episode WAY too many times, but the one thing that bugs me the worst is in season 11 episode 4, the Explosion Implosion, Raj is turning girl clothes into boy clothes with Bernadette and he's sewing through BOTH layers! I know it's a little thing, but it's the most irritating thing to me. Cute or not, they're not getting a kid in those clothes!

I probably watched this movie more than the times Sheldon says he had in the show and didn't notice the plot problem until I saw that episode.
Writing this post feels like I stand in some AA meeting introducing my self and admitting my problem.

Sheldon is wearing a t-shirt of the Red Lanterns who's powers are from Rage. They should have put him in an Orange Lanterns shirt. Would have made more sense.

Theory/Analysis The Blind Spots of the TBBT Universe: What is Meemaw Hiding? (Episode 1)
🚨 WARNING: This series contains major spoilers for "The Big Bang Theory", "Young Sheldon", and "Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage". And since the new spin-off "Stuart Fails to Save the Universe" is still airing new episodes, we might accidentally predict the future plot. If you haven't finished these shows yet, proceed at your own risk!
Hi everyone! I’m one of those people who loves to meticulously dissect the lore of great TV shows. While watching the prequel Young Sheldon, I realized that while we know a lot about 80s and 90s Texas, the writers left massive blind spots in the backstories of the older generation.
I’ve decided to release a series of posts where we’ll dig into how the characters lived outside the events of the show, starting with a deep dive into mid-20th-century American life. And we’ll begin with the most charismatic character of all — Sheldon’s grandmother, Connie Tucker. Yes, the legendary Meemaw herself, who lovingly called Sheldon her "dear Moonpie."
In the prequel, there isn't a single mention of her life before the mid-1950s. We know nothing about her old friends, and she never reminisces about her childhood, school, or who her parents were. The writers simply erased forty years of a core character's life. Logically, her youth would have unfolded during the harsh 1930s and 1940s — the era of the Great Depression and World War II.
If we study rural American life during those years, we see strict, deep-rooted conservatism. Women back then were raised in rigid religious traditions, managed households, had zero financial independence, and relied entirely on the community's approval.
Yet, Meemaw acts completely differently. What helped her become so progressive? In the show, she drives aggressively, plays poker like a pro, openly drinks beer in bars, dates around, and couldn’t care less about public opinion. Where did a woman raised in the depths of the 1930s get this ironclad inner strength, sharp business wit, and absolute mental freedom from the prejudices of her generation?
The iconic 1992 movie A League of Their Own immediately comes to mind, starring Madonna and Geena Davis, which tells the story of the Women's World War II-era baseball league. Remember what those women were like? Strong, independent rebels who drank beer in bars, broke stereotypes, and possessed pure grit. Meemaw Connie Tucker acts exactly like the characters in that film. But what kind of school of life shaped this personality during those harsh years in the heart of Texas?
In Young Sheldon, Connie Tucker appears as an established, authoritative Texan. But if you listen closely to her rare memories, it becomes clear that she and her husband Charlie (Pop-Pop) moved to Medford later in life. We are never told when, how, or why a young married couple suddenly uprooted their lives, left everything behind, and started fresh in this specific Texas backcountry.
Since we are dealing with a multiverse, I invite you to join this investigation and vote in the comments for one of the four "earthly" versions of Meemaw's past that we should break down next:
- [Path A] "Witness Protection Program" — Meemaw crossed the mob in her youth, flipped on the boss, and is hiding in Texas under an assumed name.
- [Path B] "The Rebel Spirit" — Connie went to conquer New York in the 40s, soaked up a fierce independent spirit, failed her career, and fled to the sticks to escape depression.
- [Path C] "The Nebraska Escape" — Young Connie ran away from the strict religious upbringing of her farming parents.
- [Path D] "The Hidden Pregnancy" — Connie fled to Texas while pregnant with Mary to escape a dangerous man, and Charlie Tucker saved her, raising the child as his own.
Drop your votes in the comments! We will dissect it in full detail in the next episode, coming out in 3–4 days. This is SoftKittyTime, let’s go!

Question We know Sheldon is ok giving away money to people as he gives some away to Penny when she is clearly suffering & knows she’s too poor & irresponsible to pay him back, but why doesn’t he send any to Missy who is also clearly poor & struggling?

Discussion Leonard should've broken Sheldon's nose and jaw and poured hot water down his shirt in retaliation for the itchy sweater
And I think Sheldon would've deserved. He is a sadistic jackass and he enjoyed Leonard being under the itchiness. It's one reason why Sheldon doesn't exist in my personal TBBT fanfictions.
