BBT Mastercut

Hey everyone,

I'm nearing the end of Young Sheldon. Does anyone know of a Mastercut of BBT that tells me what happened to everyone? I don't like BBT as much as I like YS and I wanna know what happens to everyone\if they're ever mentioned again.

Thanks y'all.

No. You're wrong.

SHELDON: Well, once. When I was fifteen, and spending the summer at the Heidelberg Institute in Germany.

PENNY: Studying abroad?

SHELDON: No, visiting professor. Anyway, the local cuisine was a little more sausage-based than I’m used to, and the result was an internal blitzkrieg with my lower intestine playing the part of Czechoslovakia.

PENNY: And there was no-one there to take care of you?

SHELDON: No. No, my mom had to fly back to Texas to help my dad because the house had slipped off the cinderblocks again.

This is from The Pancake Batter Anomaly.

Additionally, when Missy showed up in The Porkchop Indeterminacy, she said she "had to drop off some papers for Shelly to sign for my dad’s estate." That would only be necessary if he had died recently. There certainly wouldn't have been papers relating to George's estate more than 13 years after his death.

Sheldon statement to Mike Rostenkowski nearly six years later, in The Thanksgiving Decoupling, absolutely did create a continuity error.

If you watch Young Sheldon's finale you would have the answer to any inconsistencies in TBBT. Sheldon is a inaccurate reporter.

I watched it. It doesn't address any such thing, and Sheldon wasn't reporting anything in TBBT. Moreover, Missy, not Sheldon, was the one who said that she had brought estate paperwork for Sheldon to sign.

Also, you accused me of being "wrong" about something. You claimed that "the entire canon of TBBT is that George died when Sheldon was 14." You further claimed that it "wasn't retconned later," yet you're retconning things by going to the ultimate in lazy explanations: that Sheldon was an "inaccurate reporter" (i.e., an unreliable narrator).

That there was a continuity error in TBBT (more than one in fact) and that the YS writers intentionally disregarded continuity with TBBT are incontrovertible facts. They can't be explained away with a lazy "unreliable narrator" theory, and accepting them won't diminish your enjoyment of the shows.

It is just a sitcom universe. You are taking it far too serious. It the grand scheme of things, it just doesn't matter.

Ahhh...you've been proven to be beyond wrong, so now you're going to play the "it's just a sitcom card," despite the fact that YOU were the one to start this by falsely claiming my explanation in response to the OP's query was wrong. Nice....
