  but seriously those two strangers next to them? So that's Big Bang? It looks like it could be any show...until now...

Notice that Any has a firm grip on his arm, while Amy’s father has latched onto his shoulder (I’m guessing to make sure he doesn't bolt). 

Pay attention Sheldon. You see that person next you, the weak-willed, pathetic shell of a man who doesn’t even bother to speak anymore? That’s your future. I hope your manipulative wife, your beige life and your hip impingement/tilted pelvis/weak-ankled/web-footed children are worth it since it cost you every shred of individuality, your beautiful mind and your soul.
