the finale of Young Sheldon shows the Cooper's reaction to George's death, and how each of them is handling it. some of the scenes shows that the coopers have started moving on from the heartbreaking death of George.
I really loved how each of the coopers reacted to george's death and the funeral it really fits their characters. George jr. Doubles down and reassures his dad that he will keep them all together just like he did Missy being emotionally intelligent recollects memories of her and her father and thanks him for all he did for her Sheldon seems to be void of emotion but the truth of the matter is that he is refusing to accept reality up the bitter end. He closes his mouth and retrears into a shell (something rare for him) and doesnt even say goodbye to his father at the funeral because he doesnt want to accept that he is gone Mary is mad, heartbroken, and above all else utterly destroyed. She demeans god and her husband because of the situation she is in now. Her and george were finally patching things up and everything seemed to be going amazingly until it was ripped away from her without mercy. And meemaw being as strong as she is ends up being mary's emotional support and presumably george jr.'s and missy as well The saddest part about this for me is the fact that because big bang theory came out first this eventually means that sheldon in refusal to accept reality regresses back to how he mentally was as a younger kid and unapologetically demonizes his father by twisting his memories of him as a form of moving on(the sheldon before this episode was opening up to others more and was less possessive of things like a child). Even in big bang theory sheldon never really recovered from that even during the last few scenes of the season.
You've said it all. We agree with all you said except the last paragraph. Sheldon went through three phases as he grows, the first phase was the young Sheldon, the second one is the matured Sheldon that hasn't given birth and lacks life experiences, and the third Sheldon is the Matured Sheldon, who is now the narrator of "Young sheldon" (the voiceover). The big Bang theory is about the life of the adult Sheldon, who has no life experiences, and so it is reasonable to say he judged his father, which is why he didn't regard him that much in the Big Bang theory. But now the adult Sheldon has matured, he has his own children, and life has placed him in different circumstances, which is why he now understood what his father went through and all the sacrifices he did for them. You can say that Sheldon has changed his perspective about his father as he goes through different phases of development.
I loved the character of George Cooper Sr. Army Veteran, Protector of his family, teacher, football coach. Total package. Timing was good and caught me completely flatfooted.
As a long time watcher and fan, never missing an episode, i was deeply moved by Georges death. It brought back some long buried memories of my own fathers sudden passing. I will miss the show, The Coopers and all the rest. It holds a favored spot in, my heart. Farewell George and the rest of this wonderful family.
I have to admit the timing of George Sr.'s passing caught me off guard and gripped my emotions. Was looking forward to seeing the family set up in Houston and George's new job before the final curtain.
Such a beautifully written show with great actors. Will miss and although I knew George Cooper ending, still shocked me when I saw it. Zoe Perry expression was that of a lady with God on her side and someone who just lost a dear partner. Great actors.
I feel George's passing was handled well by the writers. Emotional rollercoaster. What a talented group of writers and actors. I will have my Kleenex close by for the finale.
Idk they should have made george cooper go to the hospital first with his family. Its just kinda unrealistic to announce that hes dead before they could even go to the hospital. Maybe its realistic for others, but i just didnt feel anything because of it tbh.
@@melissamurray8307 thats my point. It was too fast that i wasnt able to process anything or feel anything. I still think they could’ve handled George’s death well. It felt too hurried.
I was shocked and cried uncontrollably. Having experienced the sudden death of my husband and his best friend, both from cardiac arrest, I was left with the same shock and grief as Sheldon and his family experienced. It was too real . They portrayed it accurately. I will miss Mr Cooper . I never cried like that for the any sudden characters death like his. He reminded me of my own father. Loved by everyone ❤
The success of their children was a result of the solid family structure flaws and all.George played a big part in Sheldon's success in his life.George was smarter than we all knew
It broke my heart 😢😢😢😢. But that's life... you never know when is going to be over 😢😢😢😢... they didn't even got to kiss/hug him goodbye 😢😢😢😢 I cried for hours efter I saw it last week... still cry now thinking about it!!! Magnificent writing!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
We knew it was coming but it just was such a shock after feeling so happy for George Sr finally getting a chance to coach on the college level things were all cherry with Mary agreeing to make the move the only issue was Sheldon not wanting the family to move but he two was moving so it wasn't a big deal in my mind.. then right towards the end of the show when i saw Georges co workers showing up at the door my heart sank I knew something was amiss, and when they said George had a heart attack my mouth fell wide open as tears welled up in my eyes over a tv comedy that seemed so real and sasd in that moment..Ill miss this family show it was written and acted so well.
Father Day is fast approaching... It will fall in father Day in the Philippines when this episode launches in the Philippines... I don't know how i will feel.. but definitely positive and will appreciate the father figure in my life
Dealing with death, especially in the immediate family is never ever an easy thing to deal with. As far as the Coopers acting normal, I usually like to believe that after the funeral itself is over, the healing process can officially begin as you slowly return to normalcy. At least, that's how I've often seen it. #1: Hearing that the person passed away & being sad and/or angry. #2: Adjusting & processing the person's death. #3: The wake, where you can share stories (usually happy ones) about the deceased person with others. #4: The funeral itself, expressing & dealing with emotions. #5: The healing process & slow return to normalcy (for lack of a better term) after the funeral is over. To me, #5 usually happens either way, regardless of whether or not there's an after party. Based on what I've seen, people are very sad during funerals (which is perfectly normal) & at the after party (if there is 1), there's usually more laughter or just regular socializing or whatnot.
The writing was excellent. I think the timing was great. It gave George Sr part focused on his roll and a great actor. How it ended made all the characters show there love for each other and how they moved on.
In the whole Cooper family, George came through as a hail-fellow-well-met chap whose world climaxed as coach ! So after he died the laptop brought out by Sheldon during a church service says a lot...
Even though ending the show now does make sense there still are potential stories that could be explored down the road.Maybe a yearly update episode could work.
Why? Its reasonable. Iain armitage is growing up, therefore Georges’ death came, and then the family got separated. Just like how Sheldon said on TBBT. You saw this coming.
I think the writers underestimated how much people were gonna love that family and didn't want to let them go just like the wonder years. If George never had to die they definitely could have continued the show with Sheldon off at college that's how much the cast was liked by viewers
Honestly they should have continued the show and keep him on. Already the show lost all credibility for they never addressed George's affair so why not avoid his passing too.
This is one of my favorite shows, it was one of the most realistic shows on t.v. im sad its ending and my heart broke for the Cooper family. George was a great husband, and father. He will be truly missed, I hate saying goodbye to the Cooper family. RiP. George😢
The major problem I had with the how was the character of Sheldon himself. Clueless as to other's feelings or foibles and absorbed with his own "genius." If his Dad's death woke him up, it was a brief ray of light...the laptop scene in church said it all.
I haven't seen it yet and despite watching this video, I know it'll be hard to watch as the show has been absolutely great. I'm a true BBT fan, I'm hoping another spinoff from it can be made
I’m pretty sure they’re doing a spinoff with Georgie and his family. The Big Bang lost me the last few seasons but I really enjoyed young Sheldon even as a stand alone show. Much funnier show in my opinion
@@nobodyspecial6513 BBT definitely was getting lame the last few seasons. I don't know about a spinoff of Georgie but I'd like to see one of Howard or Rajesh.
I was hoping his passing would have been at his college graduation ceremony. Start with Sheldon trying to give a speech and passing out like he said from season 3 of BBT. That would have been a very funny scene before the tragic one. Still heartbreaking scene when they told Mary and the family.
I have watched TBBT in its entirety but never watched Young Sheldon. But through reels I watched the finale and cried. I felt something about death for the first time in 12 years. Not my proudest moments. I must be better
Oh. My. God. The first conclusion that “Missy, Mary, and Sheldon are beginning to move past their loss” is, frankly, shallow and without true empathy. A loss of this magnitude changes who you are, at your very essence-it’s a huge watershed moment in one’s life. You never get over a loss like this. Time, not weeks, but TIME-helps you adjust to the new normal, but I know that myself and my 2 daughters are still feeling the loss & still grieve and cry-and it’s been over 2 years since my husband died in his mid 50’s. A sudden, shocking tragedy-as illustrated by George’s passing.
I think they should have made it to where the family fades out and then they could have brought in Sheldon as the older Sheldon and his wife and then as he's finishing the book or whatever the memoir he could have put my dad passed away whatever whatever I don't think it was the right time to have George die in the series
The creators should consider doing a sequel series after the George and Mandy series ends with the big bang characters in their 60's and retired. Recast all the characters with old actors. Call it "Old Sheldon "
I was wondering that since he signed up for that vasectomy so quickly maybe they didn't do a full history on him some folks who've had a history of blood clot problems can throw clots if they have surgical procedures. I have had blood clot problems after surgery and have been told that no elective surgery for me for almost anything because of that history since George had already taken had heart problems and how to heart attack I would think even with a vasectomy they'd have to do a full history on him
Did you not watch the funeral? Also, You cant expect them to still cry in public after a few months after the funeral. Their family literally crumbled after his death.
I just loved Young Sheldon.. I wish the writers & producers could extend the series..hay…sigh😢 Btw, I never watched The Big Bang theory- funny but it’s TRUE.. I don’t find TBBT characters funny & exciting..
personally, I think it’s a mistake. They should’ve kept going with the show. It’s still has high ratings and it was great now it looks forward to watching it every week really don’t have many good shows on anymore. The father dying was very sad. I’m hoping they do a show with the older son and his new wife and baby that would be really nice, that way, the grandmother could come over and his mother
Yes, there's another show named Georgie and Mandy's first marriage, which depicts the older son's life, it has been confirmed and will be on screen shortly after the finale of young Sheldon.
Forgive me people who saw this and like the show, but I was thinking George was telling a story about how Sheldon would get redemption if he died and he was alive and that it was just a story like the black hole
@@cinexus it is not. You mention that they’ve moved on as shown in the church scene with Sheldon taking out his laptop. This is incorrect & false. I’ll go with channels that report accurately.
By accepting their death. But you can still see they’re not as happy as before, they’re trying to move on. Their faces are still filled with blight, not bright. The stages or grief: denial, when missy asked “hes gonna be alright”. And that was their “acceptance” period. You dont expect them to still cry after a few weeks or months do you?
George's death was well written and well acted and Lance Barber (George sr.) handled it very well because he has to die so he wasn't upset infact he was quite excited. So I feel like every took George sr's death very casually.
I was really hoping Sheldon would show some emotion; his face looked so stone cold. I don't like how the directors told him to react that way; this was his father...and he showed absolutely NO emotion at all. Missy & Memaw showed the most emotion. Even Mary looked a little annoyed when they first told her he had a heart attack, maybe she thought not again. Then when the principal said he was gone she broke down. Maybe it was the shock of it all?
I really enjoyed the entire finale. However, it does show how fragile the psyche of a religious person can be. Also, Mary trying to manipulate the twins into getting baptized--I don't think even Mary would've done that. Sheldon, being a strong Atheist would've never gotten baptized just to please his mother.
I didn’t like the way they did that. It was just a smack in the face. One minute he’s there and the next he’s not. There was no goodbye, he was just gone.
