Is Sheldon Gay? or just not Interested?

Here?s a question that would?ve left Einstein scratching his head: Is Big Bang Theory brainiac Sheldon straight? Gay? Asexual? According to executive producer Chuck Lorre, ?other? may be the best way to describe him.

?His entire focus is on the work that he?s doing ? theoretical physics,? explains Lorre. ??Alternate reality? is another way of looking at it. Characters like Sheldon are drawn to an alternate reality that might be more comforting than the ones they live in. And why modify that? Why not let the character be that unique??

Well, for one thing, because some viewers are dying to see Sheldon in a relationship. Jim Parsons, who plays the scientist, empathizes. ?People want to see him cared for in a way that those of us a little more average have been able to experience through love,? he suggests. ?But I also [understand] Chuck?s point that all Sheldon really wants is a Nobel Prize. That?s the warm embrace that he longs for.?

Lorre says it?s unlikely questions surrounding Sheldon?s sexuality will ever be answered. ?Why would we have to [brand him ever] if the character is so thoroughly focused on his work?? he argues. ?If touching other human beings of any gender is irrelevant to him, why label the thing? Why can?t there be a third gender ? male, female and Sheldon??

For his part, Parsons is more than happy to continue playing the ambiguity of it all. ?Do I think that he?s ever going to sway one way or the other? I don?t know,? he says. ?If nothing else, it keeps open the world of possibilities.?

Geeks everywhere will be happy hear that Star Trek star Wil Wheaton will be returning to hang out with TV?s hippest nerds on The Big Bang Theory.

?We were very excited when Wil Wheaton appeared as Sheldon?s nemesis, and right now we?re looking to see if he can come back to give Sheldon an opportunity to settle the score,? Executive Producer and Co Creator Bill Prady announced to TV Guide Magazine when the Academy of Televisions Arts and Sciences hosted an Evening With the Big Bang Theory on February 18th. "Fingers crossed that we can do that, I think an arch enemy is someone who appears from time to time."

In the meantime, fans of the show will have the chance to watch Stan Lee?s cameo on the March 1st episode, as the comic book legend comes to the store to sign autographs. The Spider-Man creator was a huge hit with the cast, although Kaley Cuoco admitted that she didn?t know who he was before he came on! ?Jim (Parsons) didn?t either, he had no idea who he was,? she giggled, but Kaley was quickly enamored with Lee. ?I loved working with him, he was the cutest thing in the world. I got to have a scene with him, he was adorable and funny, this man has a lot to say.?

Parsons was equally impressed when he met him, and even thought he was similar to the show?s key characters. ?He is honestly one of the most charming people who?ve ever had on the show. He reminded me a little bit of Sheldon and a little bit of Penny, he?s got this biting thing to him, he?s just witty.?

Prady says it was really was a dream to have such a legend appear as a guest star. ?It?s one of the great things about the show because we are very geeky people ourselves, so being able to have our heroes from the worlds of science fiction and comic books come on the show is wonderful,? he explained. ?He plays himself, though I think we made him a little nerdier than he actually is.?

Now his Prady?s next goal is to persuade Leonard Nemoy to guest star, which would be every geek?s dream!

If Nimoy does appear it Sheldon will most likely die as well. I re watched the episode where Penny gives him the napkin a few days ago he was just about passed out of that!

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      Why? Does anybody actually want this? The constant need to close all browser sessions and wait for a new version to install, just so that there’s a integrated coupon manager feels like a waste of everyone’s time

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates by Paul Hill Microsoft has just announced that starting with Edge 152, it will be moving to a two-week release cycle for faster, smaller updates. This faster release cadence will begin on August 27. This change comes just several months after Microsoft switched Visual Studio Code to weekly updates. The company said that the Extended Stable releases will remain on an eight-week cycle and that no admin changes are needed to experience the faster release cycle on the Stable channel. The new two-week release cycle will enable the faster delivery of security updates and platform improvements, all while reducing the size and complexity of individual updates. Microsoft claims that organizations will benefit from this change as it offers predictable validation cycles. For organizations that prefer a “more deliberate pace”, the Extended Stable channel remains an option. This change will affect Edge Stable releases on Windows, macOS, Linux, and mobile. The Extended Stable channel will continue to be updated every eight weeks, or every fourth Stable release, for example: versions 152, 156, 160, and 164. The Extended Stable could be a good option for organizations that don’t want the latest updates twice a month and don’t want as much hassle constantly updating browsers. In the case of Visual Studio Code, many of the updates being pushed by Microsoft are AI-related. As we all know, Microsoft Edge has a lot of AI features, so we could see Microsoft pushing more AI, thanks to the faster cycles. On the flip side, quicker releases could mean faster security updates, which is beneficial in a world where AI systems are hunting for software exploits. What do you think? Let us know in the comments. For more updates on Edge, be sure to follow Neowin's coverage. In May alone, we reported on Edge offering in-browser pop-ups to assist users with website compatibility issues, that Edge was losing Copilot Mode, and that Microsoft had fixed a plain-text password bug in Edge.

      not yet, because at the moment it is not a threat to MS, if and I mean if it did become a threat to MS Office, then it may be a different thing. MS don't like competition
