Facebook mums around the world have been devastated by the news that the next season of television show ‘Young Sheldon’ will be the last.

However, fans across the world are waiting in anticipation for the final episode, after the creators revealed their plan for the finale in which Sheldon commits a mass school shooting.

The creators of the show explained that they wanted to end the series with an emotional story that the average American can relate to.

“We want to end the show with a bang,” said the showrunner, “and we thought what better way to do that than with a traditional American school shooting.”

“It’s a storyline we’ve been setting up from the start, we have always made sure the character gives you that vibe. The same classic Sheldon we all know and love.”

The writers said they are excited to see the episode, including a little easter egg where Sheldon looks to the camera and says ‘Bazinga’ after brutally murdering all his classmates.

Some online were critical of the proposed finale saying that the ‘school shooting episode’ trope has been done to death at this point by American high school shows. However fans were quick to defend it saying that you can’t jump the shark in a show that’s very existence is jumping the shark.

      It was good in the first season or at least until Penny became smarter than the boys and everyone got married.

        No, it wasn’t good, even before everyone and everything got Flanderised. It was always a shitty sitcom that only got a laugh because they played audio of people laughing.

      Pretty sure it was already a thing in the show was that he was already an outcast in his small Texas town because he tried to analyze politics and immediatly came to the conclusion communism made the most sense.

      The writers didn’t realize how much of a self own it was to have their canonical genius immediatly realize this and was instead just “Oh its why he’s so quirky”

          To be clear I’ve never watched a minute of the show and heard that on the old subreddit when it happened so to be honest I have no idea.

          The episode probably ended with him learning that American capitalism was better because a Texan helped change their tire or something.

    a show that’s very existence is jumping the shark.

    I love the progression here.

    1. idiots don’t know ‘who’ from ‘that’ in objects
    2. idiots now need to use ‘whose’, but early stupidity precludes that
    3. idiots use ‘that is’ contracted in the hopes of using it like a possessive, even though there’s no such thing; and finally
    4. when faced with this shit construction at press time, idiot hits the ‘yolo’ button.

    What idiots.
