The Episode Review
In “The Prequel to The Big Bang Theory”, the show delves deeper into George Sr.’s connection with Brenda in this episode. While the two seem to connect and we can tell that he has a soft spot for her, the distance between George and Mary continues to grow. ..
Sheldon and Billy seem to be getting along well, but we’re not sure what happened between them.
We can’t help but assume that Brenda and George had an affair, which might have been the reason behind why he hated Billy. Given how often Sheldon has shown himself to be an unreliable narrator, it’s also feasible that the two shows’ narratives differ.
The episode also shows George Jr and Mandy getting closer and discussing their pregnancy. George marries young, according to Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory. We can’t help but speculate that it might be with Mandy and that he might ultimately end up with her as the season progresses. ..
The episode of “The Good Place” continues to be entertaining with its usual lighthearted banter as the show’s plot appears to steadily unfold. It continues to test our patience and we can’t wait to see where the show is heading.
