I think what’s deeply distressing about tonight’s episode is how unassuming a day can be & then the unthinkable happens.
Mary will always remember that her last words to her husband were nagging George to be on time. Missy will remember turning down her dad’s offer to give her a ride. Sheldon will remember ignoring his dad as the latter left the house.
Which is so fitting, because we know in TBBT that Georgie had to navigate so much in their family’s grief. And Georgie? He got the best ending with his dad. A real sweet moment. Ergo, he would’ve also had the “best” emotional bandwidth to deal with it, but it wouldn’t make it any less painful.
Last night, we had to say goodbye to one of the greatest TV dads in history.
Thursday's 2nd episode ended on a heartbreaker: While getting ready to take the "blue bonnet" family photo, the Cooper family is alerted of George's passing when Wayne and Tom arrive at the house.
I just want to say thank you to Lance Barber for showing who George truly was instead of what we knew him as in The Big Bang Theory.
Going into Young Sheldon, I was waiting for the raging drunk that he was often described as. I waited for the heated arguments with Mary.
While those did happen, I often found myself taking George's side.
Lance's performance brought a heart to George that the writers of TBBT seemed to have forgotten.
just finished watching young sheldon s7 ep12. i am heartbroken. i mean we knew it was coming but god. i'd come to love george's character so much and to think that we just. never get to see him again. :(
