This marks the concluding chapter for "Young Sheldon," a series I've only briefly engaged with, having skimmed through its last few seasons. However, my affection for "The Big Bang Theory" is undeniable. Consequently, George's departure from the narrative doesn't stir strong emotions within me. If Sheldon's academic journey had hit a roadblock due to financial constraints, or if little George had embarked on entrepreneurial ventures, adopting an adult demeanor prematurely, then George's exit could have significantly enriched the show's narrative.
The widespread observation that the cast mirrors that of "The Big Bang Theory" piques interest, yet it's young George's stature and his notably exaggerated lip coloring that truly intrigue, leading one to ponder the potential for his character to embrace his true identity.
What leaves a bitter aftertaste about this season is its scant attention to Young Sheldon himself—his college applications, scientific inquiries, or even his idiosyncrasies. It seems the series has drifted from its original premise, neglecting to honor the very name it proudly bears.
