Mind-Blowing Revelation: Young Sheldon Unveils Shocking Germany Storyline Contradictions with The Big Bang Theory

Summary

The Coopers' precarious financial situation was exposed in Young Sheldon season 6 when Sheldon was offered an opportunity to attend a summer program in Germany. This revelation contradicted the pretext that Georgie had used in The Big Bang Theory season 11.

In The Big Bang Theory, Young Sheldon took a different direction from some storylines, like the exclusion of Sheldon's bullying and George's extremely poor conduct, but it seldom contradicted known facts.

The season 6 finale of Young Sheldon hinted at Sheldon's increasing detachment and limited participation in his family's troubles. This was demonstrated by their lack of awareness regarding the aftermath of a hurricane.

In Young Sheldon season 6, Sheldon had the opportunity to participate in a summer program in Germany, which presented new challenges for him and his family. However, a specific struggle that was highlighted in The Big Bang Theory season 11 was proven to be untrue. In Young Sheldon, the Cooper family's financial problems varied, but they were always present in the background. Sheldon's desire for a computer was mentioned early on in Young Sheldon season 1.

The start of Young Sheldon season 6 revealed the dire financial situation of the Coopers, explaining why they couldn't support Sheldon's trip to Germany. This development contradicted The Big Bang Theory.

Throughout its six seasons, Young Sheldon deviated from certain storylines that were established in The Big Bang Theory. The absence of Sheldon's bullying and George's problematic behavior were notable changes. However, Young Sheldon rarely contradicted the established events in The Big Bang Theory. Nonetheless, a particular reason that Georgie gave in The Big Bang Theory season 11, complaining about Sheldon never showing gratitude towards their family, conflicted with the solution proposed in Young Sheldon season 6 for Sheldon's trip to Germany.

The wedding invitations for Amy and Sheldon caused a disruption among the Pasadena gang in season 11, episode 23 of The Big Bang Theory. This occurred when Mary expressed her displeasure at Sheldon not inviting his older brother Georgie to the wedding. In their trip to Dallas, Leonard and Sheldon learned more about Sheldon’s life in Texas, providing a different perspective on his childhood compared to Mary and Missy. However, the episode also featured Georgie justifying his success as a self-made entrepreneur by claiming that all their extra money went to Sheldon’s education and study abroad in Germany. This revelation directly conflicts with the events depicted in Young Sheldon season 6, where it was revealed that Dr. Linkletter's funds and Pastor Jeff's donations were responsible for financing Sheldon's trip to Germany.

Young Sheldon consistently emphasized the Cooper family's lack of extra money, and season 6 specifically detailed how Sheldon would not have been able to participate in the summer program at Heidelberg without Dr. Linkletter and Pastor Jeff’s assistance. In episode 20 of Young Sheldon season 6, Sheldon even demonstrated his willingness to part with his most treasured possessions in order to have the opportunity to attend the program, although he was ultimately unsuccessful. Based on the retelling of the story in Young Sheldon season 6, it is clear that Sheldon could not have relied on his family's extra money to attend the summer program.

Young Sheldon Season 6's Finale Hints At Challenges Sheldon Wasn't There For

Georgie's speech in The Big Bang Theory season 11, episode 23 mentioned the financial support Sheldon needed for the summer program in Germany, but it was factually incorrect. However, the issue highlighted by Georgie had already been depicted in the Young Sheldon season 6 finale. The hurricane that destroyed Meemaw's home was a significant event in Young Sheldon season 6, episode 22, yet Sheldon and Mary were unaware of it by the end of the episode. Even before George's death, as shown in Young Sheldon season 6's finale, Sheldon's distance from his family made him less involved in their hardships.

The scene described by Georgie in The Big Bang Theory season 11, episode 23 portrayed a more dire situation. Georgie was keeping an eye on Missy's actions as a "dumb teenager" and Mary's distress. It would be understandable that Georgie chose to protect Sheldon by withholding the truth about the situation, rather than simply forgetting to inform Mary and Sheldon about the disaster, as the Coopers did in Young Sheldon season 6's finale. The Big Bang Theory already established that Sheldon's move out of state for college created some distance between him and his family, but Young Sheldon season 6's finale began revealing how his summer program abroad further heightened this distance.
