Rewatching The Big Bang Theory after watching YS

According to TBBT (The Big Gang Theory), thinking about Young Sheldon:

Missy is a hostess at a Fuddruckers.

Mary still buys Sheldon his clothes.

Mary had Sheldon in a Costco???

George wrestled an alligator for some licorice?

Sheldon had a family dog?!

Sheldon joked about the house being on cinder blocks, but that's not true. 

Episode 1:15 has Missy of the future in it, but there's not a lot of continuity questions. She does say she put a dog down because it sounded like Koothrappali, but that sounds like a joke. 

Sheldon's mother visit when he's rude to the chair and gets fired. And again later.

Sheldon goes back to Texas and goes back home quickly.

4:14 Sheldon writes a play where Mary tells George to put down a pepsi can with bourbon in it, and the whole show he just drinks beer. In 4:20 he says archery video game gives him memories of his father teaching him archery and the smell of bourbon. 

It's in 4:20 that he says when his parents break up his mother dives more into religion and his father's bottle blond girlfriend tries to buy his love with action figures. 

It's weird the actor who plays the father in Young Sheldon, plays a bully to Leonard in TBBT. Reminds me of how Frankie is the IT lady before she is assistant dean in Community. 

7:4 "Every time my mother was mad she put hamster poop in my dad's chew tobacco."

Billy Sparks put a peso up Sheldon's nose when he was 7, and he trips off the airport alarms still (5:12). 

Sheldon goes to his sister's childbirth. Yikes. He tries to make it all about him.

9:14 is the Memaw episode, a dowdy old lady not at all like Annie Potts. 


You know this is a rube's game, entertainment isn't consistent, there will be continuity errors. 

There's a fair amount of interesting details that they carried over to Young Sheldon. One example is (6:13) when Sheldon says he got pink eye from sharing his sister's makeup for a costume. 


Off topic, but Ricardo Shilly-Shally and Tondelaya della Ventimiglia have to be written about in fanfiction, and I'm going to have to fill the void if it's empty. Best I could find in a short cursory search was this pornography.

Manet and Degas

  Brilliant video explaining the exhibit. Go to the Met and see the exhibit! It's really quite special.  In the last gallery the painting this sketch is based off of, of the execution of a Mexican president. The painting has been cut into sections, and the surviving Degas has reassembled them. NY Times review

AOC

Dark Brandon meet Dark Alex. I see her advising the republicans to stick to their guns and never compromise. They don’t want to do anything, only obstruct. So they don’t actually need to be unified. Chaos isn’t organized. This is fine. Read all about it from Heather Cox Richardson , a historian who covers current events. "As their policies threatened to lose voters by concentrating wealth upward and hollowing out the middle class, Republicans increasingly warned that minority voters wanted socialism and were destroying the nation to get it. Trump rode that narrative to power, and now tearing down the current government is the idea that drives the Republican base." While we're at it, here's another funny photo from the Onion: And then: I listened to the Times podcast about George Santos . He basically lied about, I don't know, 80% of his resume, and has a mysterious $700k in his "corporation" which has no clients. So he's a Russian or Chinese plant, o...

The case for Harris

Motley Kamuka Blog endorses Kamala Harris. In general, Trump just wants to lower taxes on the rich, and do nothing, sell whatever influence he can to line his pockets. Apparently the emoluments clause in the constitution has no teeth. Harris has a set of ideas about policy that are fairly middle of the road. In most countries she's would be seen as a centrist. Spin about her radical agendas are exaggerated.  I'm not sure how he got past " grab them by the pussy ", but he did and here we are. Women: Obviously the idea of giving women pregnancy tests at the borders of the state, and then if they come back and don't have a baby, they go to jail, isn't really what most women want. Pick Harris.  I understand if you think abortion is murder, maybe you've been told that by the Catholic church, which has the same ideal of Buddhism that you don't kill--so follow your religion for yourself. Not everyone is Christian or Buddhist or even has a religion. Women are ...
