Matt Roush says...
The prequel to The Big Bang Theory ends its seven-year run with a poignant farewell to George Sr. (Lance Barber), whose sudden death from a heart attack was predestined by the older Sheldon’s Big Bang backstory, yet still packs an emotional punch in the two-part series finale. Young Sheldon (Iain Armitage) is perplexed by the different ways people manifest grief, and while he replays his final moments with his dad over and over, older brother Georgie (Montana Jordan)—who’s about to inherit his own spinoff next season—steps up as the man of the Cooper family. In the second episode, Big Bang stars Jim Parsons (Sheldon) and Mayim Bialik (Amy) appear to provide a clever framework for Sheldon’s true coming of age as he prepares to leave the nest for Caltech. But first, his mother Mary (Zoe Perry) has a special and meaningful request.
