Season 7 Young Sheldon «iPhone»

Young Sheldon ended not as a footnote to Big Bang , but as its own eulogy for childhood. And in Season 7, it finally answered the question the prequel quietly asked all along: What does it cost to become a genius?

Raegan Revord deserves every award. Missy, once the “ordinary twin,” becomes the emotional anchor. She’s furious, funny, and frighteningly perceptive. In one episode, she tells Mary, “Dad wasn’t perfect.

She honors George not with tears, but by refusing to let his memory become a museum.
