The second the place he helps Sheldon together with his fears on the aircraft is actually charming and heartfelt, with him telling Sheldon to channel Spock after which later holding his hand as they take off. (I get it, Sheldon. I additionally hate taking off. It is terrifying.)
The sequence later utterly retconned the time when Sheldon thought he saw his dad cheating on his mom, they usually turned George into a fairly glorious sitcom dad, with a extremely nice efficiency from Barber. Fortunately, George will be back in dream form on the “Younger Sheldon” sequel sequence “Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage,” which takes place just some months after the “Younger Sheldon” finale, so we have not really seen the final of him or Barber within the “Massive Bang” franchise.
