20 Mind-Blowing Facts You Never Knew About The Big Bang Theory

18. Jim Parsons Doesn€™t Do Star Trek

Given he has an eidetic memory, there isn€™t much that Sheldon Cooper doesn€™t know about his favourite TV shows. There is also no denying that Sheldon Cooper is a huge Trekkie, as we have seen him be guided by the wisdom of Spock when he faces difficult situations or decisions. Such is his love of the cult show, we have witnessed him try to resolve a falling out with his girlfriend Amy Farrah Fowler by buying her the entire box set of the iconic show and even envision a Spock figure come to life when he breaks his new Star Trek transporter toy. Having said all that, the actor who plays Sheldon isn€™t actually a fan of any of the series his character loves. Jim Parsons admitted in an interview with Time that he doesn€™t share his character€™s love for the shows €œI€™m very frank about certain things, I get asked a lot of science things and I€™m like, €œyou€™re kidding.€ And even the pop culture€ I€™ve never seen Star Trek. I don€™t know Doctor Who.€ It certainly doesn€™t seem that way on the show.
