1.Jim Parson's personal life

If you are a The big bang theory fan like me then you would be familiar with Dr. Sheldon Cooper's obsession with Star trek and Spock but did you know he never really watched Star trek in his life, Not even a single episode. The actor(Jim Parson) has been hiding his lack of interest in Star trek with his amazing acting skills. I don't know whether to be sad that he doesn't know Star trek or be happy that he is such an awesome actor(better roll a dice :p ).

To an unknown fan, Sheldon's Green Lantern shirts seem just like any old shirt you find in a department store. However, there's more to these shirts than just coming in random colors.

The symbol on Sheldon's shirt is more times than not, a hint to his current emotion in that scene.
