Fans of “The Big Bang Theory” know that Professor Proton, who is also called as Dr. Arthur Jeffries, died in episode 22 of Season 7 titled “The Proton Transmogrification.”
But the character was back, not from the dead, but in Sheldon’s dreams to give him sound advice. The advice enabled Sheldon to make very important decisions, which is what he did when he finally told Amy towards the latter part of the episode what he really feels for her.
Professor Proton appeared to Sheldon’s dream dressed as a Jedi knight. Fans say that the get-up and the theme are very timely since “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” was about to hit the theaters then.
Long-time fans and viewers are also aware that the boys of “The Big Bang Theory” are big fans of the “Star Wars” epic space opera.
During the previous episode titled “The Platonic Permutation,” which aired on November 19, it seems that the relationship of Sheldon and Amy almost took a turn for the worse when Amy started missing Sheldon and told him that she is ready to be his girlfriend again.
For some reason, Sheldon declined the offer and told her that it would be better for the two of them to just remain as friends, much to the chagrin of the viewers and fans of Shamy.
