I don't think current Sheldon even knows what "subtext" means. They've reduced his intelligence and sphere of interests so drastically.
He used to quote the Rubaiyat, Shakespeare, Nietzsche...
Taught himself Finnish, Tuvan Throat Singing, the Theremin...
He could shoot, and bake and weave goddamn ponchos...
We made a list once, and it turned out Vintage Sheldon was essentially a renaissance man, versus New!Sheldon who was essentially a teenybopper. He can't even get through a damn revolving door! His ONE new "skill" that he's demonstrated in 4 years? Kissing.
Who does he quote now? Bloody pop songs!
