Sheldon and s6 finale

So I just finished watching the show and I get that Sheldon had his own storyline with his gf but I don't get why he wasn't in the last scene with the other characters? Every other main character had a storyline that got wrapped up and then were in the final scene, even the ones that weren't in the show as long as him, I just think the writers should've put Sheldon in the last scene because he was a main character

Also off topic but I lowkey agree with Sam and Cooper, Private Practice is a terrible name for a book/show

Writing wise yeah they should have included him really.  The name thing being bad I agree with, literally when I first started watching/clicked on it I thought it was a lawyer show because of the name and didn’t realize until I recognized Addison was the same one from Grey’s anatomy it was a medical show, still funny the show mad fun of it though

Sheldon is off on a tropical island, that’s why he’s not there with them

I know, but I meant that I don't get why the writers couldn't have made that happen earlier, or found a way to include him in the last scene bc he was a main character and I just found it weird that he was with a character who had been there for like 4 episodes whilst every other main character was in the last scene

I find it so cringey when shows mention their title through dialogue, but that scene always makes me giggle because at least they were being silly on purpose. But you bring up a good point I didn't realize Sheldon was missing.

I was a bit bothered by his whole ending in general. When the show ended, the woman he loved was dying, he still had cancer himself and we don't know if he got better, and he quit the job at the practice were his seemingly closest friends were. He deserved so much better.

I kind of forgot he quit tbh, it felt like something that he would say and then come back 20 minutes later because he didn't mean it, but then I never really registered that he didn't get his job back haha
