Apart, but somehow still together, Young Sheldon managed to tie right back into The Big Bang Theory’s series finale without retconning its history.
It was an impressive feat and a great way to end the Season 2 finale and connect to Big Bang in a meaningful way.
The series, which follows Sheldon as a child genius navigating his way through high school, introduced the younger versions of Howard, Leonard, Raj, Amy, Penny, and Bernadette by way of a montage that glimpsed what they were all doing up at 5 a.m. Interestingly, it was the same time Sheldon wakes up to listen to the 1990 Nobel Peace Prize announcement.
