Top 10 Questions We Have About The Big Bang Theory After Watching Young Sheldon
video description
There are two options for the writers can do with Paige. They can either write it so that she has turned her life around in the end, or she died of suicide some how. The latter option, however, would be a huge mistake. The reason why is because we've seen success with a lot of classics like Rosanne and Frasier get rebooted, so I am willing to bet that The Big Bang Theory will do that sometime down the road, and when that happens, seeing an adult Paige come back into Sheldon's life would be a very interesting storyline.

Paige's not being mentioned in TBBT may be due to a tragedy: I believe the Paige character committed suicide in her late teens, and thus adult Sheldon really blocks out her existence. REALITY CHECK: Everyone should acknowledge that these two shows are about fictional characters, and inconsistencies in the timelines are nothing to lose sleep over. Regarding my comment about Paige, Mckenna Grace is alive and well (as far as I know.
There are MANY instances in YS that point to Paige's demise. Sheldon is oblivious to how he is different from his peers, and this is the source of the show's humor for his character. Paige is painfully aware of these differences, and it is sad to see her struggling with that (good acting):
She blames herself for her parents divorce and is depressed about it; She says once she wished she wasnt smart, and longs to fit in; she engages in destructive behavior in getting drunk at a frat party and almost goes home with a much older boy; She says she has no friends in college and is quite sad about it; any others

They should make TBBT and YS two separate realities that have nothing to do with each other, if they had stayed loyal to everything TBBT said about the Coopers the series would be more like married with children, all the changes were made in order for it to be a show worth watching, but the changes have made it too different that if they were to end it by further linking it to TBBT it would be sad, Mary doesn't seem to have a good relationship with Georgie and Missy referring to them as dumb as soup and not wanting to give a family ring to Georgie whose had several broken marriages and is constantly dating. Missy is a hostess with several children and also bad relationships. The family we've been seeing these past years should not grow into the characters we saw in TBBT, let Sheldon go to California, don't kill George or have him commit an affair, just give us more the Coopers.

I honestly can understand why after when Sheldon and Georgie never spoke after their dad passed away Georgie had to like step up take care of this mother and Missy. Sheldon did not know what was going on back why would they just told him about what was going on, then he would understand but I guess they were trying to protect him. I know their life wasn't perfect Sheldon realize that he didn't know I'm glad these two made of and I'm curious why they never mentioned about Paige like I guess they don't want to mention about her and it's kind of sort of sad Sheldon and Tam never spoke after Sheldon moved to California and his best friend stayed behind in Texas I mean I can't blame him

Having an eidetic memory does not mean a person never forgets anything. It also doesnt mean a person is more intelligent than others or more socially awkward. It simply means that someone can recall(remember)information, after being shown it for 30 seconds or less, clearer than others can after a few minutes. People with eidetic memory like Sheldon & Dr. Reid from Criminal Minds don't really exist & even if they did, we don't know how to test for it so a person wouldn't be labeled as having it. Saying that a character has an eidetic memory is a popular way for writers to say someone is a genius but it really isn't something doctors can test or diagnose.

I think it wasn’t until he got closer to people in TBBT he would have considered people like Tam and Paige acquaintances rather than friends. He never opened up to them and he openly admits that he can be irritating to most people. It’s obvious that Sheldon has high standards for friendship: when Tam didn’t move to college with him he considered it a betrayal, even though most everyone would see it’s irrational to think that. And Paige drew a mustache on his face instead of giving him his first kiss. His self centered ego wouldn’t recognize the times he was cold to her and realize that he deserved some comeuppance.

For number one, I like to believe that it took till Sheldon became a father to look back and realize he did have a pretty good dad as it takes one to know one. It’s possible that because both of them shared different interests Sheldon looked at his dad in a bad light because of it. It’s also possible because of the three knocks incident that Sheldon always thought bad of his father because that left him traumatized and since Georgie didn’t show Sheldon the truth that the family was in shambles after that Sheldon always thought bad of his father.

As someone who lost their father at 13, while yes I had friends but none of them were able to talk to me about what happened while he was sick or when he died. It took my best friend at the time another 15 years, it was the dawn of the internet took a while to find each other again, and losing her mother to cancer at 21 for her to realize that I had no one at that time in my life.
So you really can be surrounded by friends and still be completely alone.

Normally I’d say it’s possible Sheldon doesn’t tell the story correctly because he wants us to feel bad for him, but I’d be lying. He has no idea that his actions can affect other people. In fact it took till the final episode of The Big Bang Theory to realize that. Thankfully he still has his group of friends, but because of how little he really cares about others I can honestly see why a lot of people drifted away from him

A lot of this could be chalked up to Sheldon not actually having an eidetic memory (since it's not really a thing, especially in adults) and overtrusts a flawed, emotionally biased view of the past since he believes he remembers everything accurately.
Sheldon probably had his opinion of his father deeply influenced by his mother's opinion of him in the wake of an affair that seems to be the most salient memory for him.

I can't even finish this list. Let's just realize that of course there are discrepancies since Big Bang Theory creating a prequel series in the last few years of its run will create plot holes that the shows earlier seasons should not be held accountable for in anyway. Big Bang Theory is actually the foundation. Young Sheldon might come first in the timeline but let's be honest, they are responsible for the confusion.

4: 39 if you’ve ever been bullied by someone, you’re not going to remember many other elements of their personality or other years you knew them. you’re going to remember what traumatized you or caused you emotional distress because that’s how memories work
Your brain stores information to protect you and remembers things to keep you from being exposed to people, or things that caused you harm in the past

I take it as Sheldon isn't always emotionally understanding, and after his father went down hill do to his drinking and died, it may have caused him to repress something's until his brother stepped in and told him off. By the time he went to collage things probably changed for the worse too.
Also maybe it's cause of different writers not actually checking in on things with each other.

8: 08 when you don’t have real friends, you don’t really count the people who come and go in your youth as friends. How your relationships with others are versus how you expect friendships to be may be very different. I believe that Sheldon did not perceive these people to be actual friends, because when he needed someone the most, he always found himself alone.

The first thing to remember is that Sheldon has a very selective memory. He remembers only what serves him at the time and conveniently forgets later on. Either this or the Big Bang writers couldn't keep their writing straight. I spent the entire run of Big Bang dealing with multiple disconnects. Trying to match both series is a huge waste of time.

I haven’t seen Big Bang Theory or Young Sheldon so maybe I am not meant to comment on this video or maybe even watch it, but I do remember a video where it showed that the actor who played Young Sheldon didn’t watch the Big Bang Theory, so maybe these questions are just things that Jim Parson tried to invoke.

I just seen bits of episodes of bbt so from what I saw I thought from the way he told it his dad was a cheater and a bit abusive we never see that in young Sheldon and I’m glad for that but I couldn’t get invested since it doesn’t match up with what he said and they want to make a spin off with Georgie

It’s because he’s narrating this show after he’s been married, has kids, has best friends, and reconnected with his siblings. Tbbh was showing the viewer Sheldon’s journey before the people in his life (mostly his relationship with Amy) helped him grow and develop lifelong relationships

Outside of Sheldon’s academic life, I honestly don’t pay much attention to the continuity between YA & TBBT. Although, I think we can all agree the George’s infidelity was the cause of Sheldon’s negative view on the former.
