      Agree that Grace is an amazing actress, but Paige’s journey is very disheartening … why couldn’t Paige just like Sheldon to thrive as a genius? She is rudderless and reckless, despite of her brilliant mind. Her upbringing put so much pressure on her.
      Another great role is Veronica. Too bad that she disappeared, too.

      She's interesting to watch in terms of how she and Sheldon bounce off each other. But at what point was she adorable and funny?
      She violently attacked Sheldon in a way specifically intended to leave him with a visible physical injury, and then later ridicules him and draws on his face when he finally expresses his feelings, when expressing feelings is something he almost never does.
      Yet she expected him to sympathise with her about her parents' divorce.
      I must be missing the the adorable or funny part of her character, because if Paige was a boy, no one would be describing the character that way.

    Producer Steve Holland confirmed that Paige was under contract to appear in 9 episodes. By the time, we get to her last appearance, The Big Bang Theory was finished and there was no way to include her in the present continuity. The point of Paige’s character was for Sheldon to realize how difficult and heartbreaking it is to be a child prodigy. The writer’s strike shortened up the final season and McKenna Grace had scheduling conflicts.

      The problem was, Sheldon really did not grow up. Think of the scenes with adult Georgie. Sheldon retreated into the fantasy world of being a genius. He had to learn to be part of a community to become a real adult. The real disconnect between YS and TBBT is that i find it difficult to believe that the Young Sheldon, actually grew up to be the selfish, self-centered Adult Sheldon. In his way he was just as lonely as Paige, just a stronger academic, which would probably have been because he was male, not because he was smarter. Experiences like Paige's were pretty typical for young women back in the 80's and early 90's.

      Sheldon pisses me off sometimes on the show. He may be smart, but he is indeed still a kid. Though a very annoying one that lacks any social intelligence or empathy. He would do anything to hurt Paige in that moment, even if it meant learning something that deeply upsets her and using it against her to inflict emotional pain for his own ego.

    After watching Young Sheldon, I believe Paige surpasses Amy in every way and she is perfect for Sheldon. She was smart/genius like Sheldon (probably smarter), but with the personality of Penny or Missy (kinda), just more complex, messy and wit. They had complex relationship but especially great chemistry. In similarities they were close, in differences they could complement each other perfectly. Paige had the same as Penny and Amy but even more... beauty, intellect (genius), wit, sense of humor, wildness, high EQ and empathy, yet lonely, friendless, etc.
    That's why I'm annoyed that YS is a prequel, I'd prefer it to be a standalone show that went its own way. With changes and development that would match it (unfortunately, Paige's character was created after the end of TBBT).
    Paige forever.

      Sheldon wouldn't stay the same with Paige, he would go through an earlier development and she would make him more sociable and less robotic, unempathetic. They are compatible, she would be a perfect match for Sheldon (problem is only the prequel).
      It's much easier to empathize with Paige than with Amy (there's even no reason to empathize with Amy). At first, Amy was like a female version of Sheldon (only more annoying, not very funny and a bit awkward), as a joke, later she took on the role of Sheldon's girlfriend, where she seemed a bit like Leonard in his relationship with Penny and at other times like Sheldon's mother. Just weird. Anyway, zero chemistry with Sheldon.

      There are two main problems... the creators didn't realize they were going to create such an interesting and likeable character. And secondly, it's a prequel and they can't disturb something that's already been created and finished (TBBT).
      They basically created the ideal partner for Sheldon (who surpasses Amy in every way. And nothing against Amy, but she never had any chemistry with Sheldon). She's smart/genius like Sheldon (probably smarter) but with the personality of Penny or Missy (kinda), she has a lot of similarities with Sheldon, but at the same time they complement each other, geniuses, child prodigies, they're rival-friends, etc. So yeah, there was clearly something between Sheldon and Paige, but the creators just couldn't develop it further. If it wasn't a spin off (but just some show about some genius from Texas), these two would definitely end up together. Unfortunately, it's a prequel (and they can't make major changes, different direction, etc.). What a pity!

    In my head canon, Missy and Paige remain friends. Sheldon alienated Missy just as he did Georgie and they didn't speak for years. It was Paige who convinces Missy to reconcile with Sheldon, which is then the time we see her in TBBT where the two of them are settling their dad's estate matters. This makes sense of the 10+ year gap between when he dies and when this matter is settled. Because they never actually talked to get things done until then. All the while Sheldon ignores Paige when she was the driving force between reconciling with his sister, all unbeknownst to him.

      That's mainly because of Paige. Sheldon always had a "special", complex relationship with her. Rivalry, competition, anger, friendship, teasing, sadness, jealousy, some understanding (sometimes), connection and compassion, unconfirmed mutual crush, worry, etc. She is responsible for his certain development of empathy (to a certain extent), also for "hot beverage" and for "bazinga".
      In the later seasons of YS, Sheldon's development was worse, he was more like a robot... but that was purely because he had to be, because he was like that at the beginning of TBBT. That's why it annoys me that it's not a stand-alone show that would go its own way and development.
      If this wasn't a prequel, Sheldon and Paige would definitely end up together.

      There would be no competition. Paige for sure. Amy no chance. I have nothing against Amy, but she has no chemistry with Sheldon (Sheldon has more chemistry even with Penny). Moreover, Paige is an ideal match for Sheldon (prodigy, genius, many similarities - but also mutual complementation, rival-firend, etc.). She's smart like Sheldon (probably smarter) but with the personality of Penny or Missy (kinda).
      But there is one major problem here... That YS is a prequel and so they can't change something that was already created before. Unfortunately the character of Paige was created after the end of TBBT. But the creators (probably unintentionally) created an ideal partner for Sheldon, who also surpasses Amy in all respects (and not only Amy). If it wasn't a prequel (but just a show about some child genius in Texas), these two would definitely end up together.

      ​@@easyart722 I disagree. Paige and Sheldon would be perfect soul mates. The only reason they didn't get together is that YS is a prequel...
      Young Sheldon also did things for Paige that he didn't do for anyone else (even as an adult) and even as a child/teen he was ready to kiss her and even start dating her. It was no problem for Paige to get Sheldon to kiss her (even if only as a prank). That Sheldon, who's antisocial, a nerd and dislikes social or physical contact and shows almost no emotion or empathy. He showed no sympathy for anyone and never showed interest in any girl (except Paige) - not even Amy. He always had a special, complex relationship with Paige and a certain affection (that didn't develop into a relationship just because of tbbt continuity).
      I like Amy, but not as Sheldon's partner. I admit that in the later seasons they were already a better (and more well-rounded) team, but still not better than Paige (the potential was huge there). No chemistry, no romance, no greater understanding and complementing. Nor was there any great love or affinity to be seen. Plus, Amy was originally introduced only as a joke - Sheldon's female version. But that doesn't mean she's ideal for him.. IMO from the beginning their relationship felt rather forced and a bit awkward to me. For years, he wasn't even interested in Amy, showed no sympathy or affection, and Amy had to force herself on him all the time.
      Paige surpasses Amy in every way (including as a an ideal partner for Sheldon) and their realtionship, sympathy/affection and chemistry were natural.
