Young Sheldon S01e19: Bd5

8.5/10 – a low-key classic.

Sheldon becomes obsessed with building his own "supercomputer" (a Texas Instruments-99/4A, for the nerds out there) to run Hammurabi , a primitive economics game. When he realizes he doesn’t have the money, he starts doing other people’s homework for cash – pure, unregulated capitalism from a 9-year-old. Mary’s horrified. George Sr. is oddly proud. And the final scene with Sheldon alone in his room, booting up that computer, is weirdly triumphant. young sheldon s01e19 bd5

Sheldon: "I have no interest in a plastic pony, but I have a great interest in computing." booting up that computer

Just re-watched from the BD5 rip – and honestly, this might be the most quietly important episode of the first season. 🖥️🍺 young sheldon s01e19 bd5
