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!

    • RevPDF 4.5.0

      By Copernic · Posted

      RevPDF 4.5.0 by Razvan Serea RevPDF is a free, fully offline PDF editor for Windows, macOS, and Linux that lets you edit text and images directly inside PDF files — no internet connection, no account, and no cloud uploads required. Unlike bloated alternatives that demand subscriptions and constant connectivity, RevPDF fits in under 60MB on desktop while delivering a complete editing toolkit: annotate, redact, sign, compress, split, merge, convert, and reorganize pages, all processed locally on your device. Smart font matching ensures edited text blends seamlessly with the original, and multi-language support includes RTL scripts such as Arabic and Hebrew. Where most PDF editors force you to choose between features and simplicity, RevPDF manages both. You can build interactive forms from scratch with text fields, checkboxes, and dropdowns, permanently redact sensitive data before sharing, draw freehand on contracts and diagrams, and add custom watermarks — all without a single file leaving your machine. Edit Text and Images Directly Inside PDFs RevPDF supports true inline PDF editing — not just annotation layers on top of a document, but actual modification of existing text and images within the file. A smart font-matching engine identifies the font used in the original document and applies it automatically when you make edits, so changes blend naturally with the surrounding content. You can reposition elements, resize images, and update text across single pages or entire documents. RevPDF 4.5.0 release notes: This is one of the biggest updates to RevPDF yet. A lot of things people have been asking for are finally here. New Features Auto Redaction Permanently redact sensitive text and areas from your PDFs before sharing. Clean, irreversible, and fully offline. Comments, Links & Bookmarks Add comments for review, insert clickable links, and create bookmarks to jump around long documents without scrolling forever. Find & Replace Search across the whole document and replace text in one go. Long overdue. Split Pages Vertically or Horizontally Split any page down the middle, vertically or horizontally. Perfect for scanned books or double-page spreads. New Drawing Tools More tools for freehand drawing and markup, better for annotations, sketches, and detailed notes. Continuous Scrolling in Editor The editor now scrolls continuously through pages instead of jumping between them. Working through long documents is a lot smoother now. PDF Metadata Editor View and edit the metadata stored inside your PDFs, including title, author, subject, and keywords. Better Font Matching Text edits now blend in more naturally by doing a better job of matching the original font. Tabbed PDF Viewer Open multiple PDFs at once in tabs and switch between them without going back to the home screen. Add Links Insert hyperlinks anywhere in your PDF, to external URLs or to other pages within the document. Share & Print Shortcuts Share or print directly from the editing screen, home screen, and viewer. No extra steps. Minor Updates Paste images directly from clipboard into your PDF New image editing tools for more control over images inside documents Bug Fixes Fixed file saving issues on Windows and Linux Everything still works fully offline. No login, no cloud, no account. Your files stay on your device.

      Interesting. I'm not using a VPN with my phone. I tried though my home internet (Rogers) and my cellular internet (Telus) and both trigger the dialog above.
