What does Young Sheldon’s finale reveal about The Big Bang Theory?
In the series finale “Young Sheldon”, many revelations about the origin and development of the eponymous character are made. However, what is of particular interest fans of “The Big Bang Theory” is the link between the two series and the clues left by “Young Sheldon” on the fate of the emblematic characters of the main series. Let’s find out together what these revelations have in store for us about the universe of “The Big Bang Theory”!
The last episode of Young Sheldon offered fans a multitude of revelations and winks to The Big Bang Theory. A big surprise: the series was revealed to be a visual adaptation of the memoirs of Dr. Sheldon Cooper, thus considerably enriching the world of the famous Pasadena geeks.
Return of Sheldon and Amy
The finale saw the triumphant return of Jim Parsons And Mayim Bialik in the roles of Sheldon Cooper and Amy Farrah Fowler. Unlike a simple cameo, this flashforward spans the entirety of the final episode. We discover, through Sheldon’s memoirs, what became of them several years after the end of The Big Bang Theory.
Leonard Cooper, the sports son
One of the major revelations is that of the existence of Leonard, Sheldon and Amy’s son, named in homage to their friend Leonard Hofstadter. Unlike his father, Leonard is an avid hockey fan and plays for the Pasadena Penguins. This passion for sports, a stark contrast to Sheldon’s geeky world, shows how children can surprise their parents.
Sheldon and Amy’s new house
Fans also learn that Sheldon and Amy have moved from their famous apartment at 2311 North Los Robles Avenue to a house in the same area of Pasadena. This move, probably financed by their Nobel Prize, includes a large house with a garden.
A second child for Sheldon and Amy
Besides Leonard, Sheldon and Amy also have a daughter. Although her name is never revealed in the finale, her love of theater makes a direct nod to Penny, suggesting a lovely family dynamic blending science and art.
Penny and Leonard still present in their lives
The finale quietly reveals that Penny and Leonard are still close to Sheldon and Amy. Penny babysits for the couple, and the famous brown leather couch from their apartment is now in Sheldon’s office.
Sheldon’s office, a museum of references
Dr. Cooper’s office is a treasure trove of memories and winks to The Big Bang Theory. It features his Nobel Prize, a photo of him and Amy in Stockholm, a DNA model, a Flash mug, and even a Rubik’s Cube coaster. These items show that some elements of his past life have been relegated to his office, probably at Amy’s request.
David Saltzberg at Caltech
The last scene of Young Sheldon highlights young Sheldon arriving at the California Institute of Technology, revealing the start of his academic career. To enhance the authenticity of the scene, the series filmed on the real Caltech campus and included David Saltzberg, consulting physicist for Big Bang Theory.
In short, the finale of Young Sheldon has magnificently established links with The Big Bang Theory, offering fans an epilogue rich in emotions and surprises.
