Do we all just agree that the Air Force soldier is actually......
Wolowitz's dad?
sharehe looks nothing like Howard or his half brother
Don't hate on contrarians
Not everyone looks like their kids

No.
shareHeck no. I don't see why anyone thinks that. I suppose it's possible, but I am just not seeing the reasoning behind that at all. I don't get it.
shareI don't think so. Just because he's an older male who is new to the show doesn't mean he's gonna be Howard's dad. I think some people just want to see his dad so badly that they're hoping it's him.
I don't think I've ever looked for frogs under my butt while I was wearing my Snow White gown.
I don't want to see him just randomly thrust into the show. I'm afraid they'd Meemaw it and it would turn out badly. If they could work the brother in again somehow and then go into something with the dad, maybe. But I don't want him just showing up, doing 8 minutes or so of show, and taking off again.
shareI'd be fine if things just stayed as they are and we never met his dad. I don't see it as necessary.

Well the soldier's name is Williams and Howard's stepbrother is named Wolowitz too. So his dad still goes by his own name. It is not likely he is Howard's dad.
We Don't Take No *beep* From A Machine!!
I thought the same thing, that the military storyline will lead "Matrix" style to Howards Dad. Now other than that it could just be some take off on a "Scorpion" style dilemma. Neither of which I care for at this point.

I thought this last week too. But it was when the soldier said he went to MIT and became an engineer, that I thought for sure it's his dad. Well, if we're right, we can rub it in the nay-sayers faces.

If someone is right about this, pretty sure that it won't be because they are more perceptive than the rest of us.
If anything, it will be because "someone let the cat out of the bag" (taping reports...spoiler sites, etc.) and the 'beneficiaries' of that knowledge are trying to cloak it as astuteness.
Wont be the first time!
(Someone spoiled an entire season of Dexter by asking (what appeared to be) a benign "Sixth Sense" type question about one of the characters. The actor didn't even know...so it's unlikely that someone could have just randomly zeroed in on some "tells".)

If this guy turns out to be Howard's dad...good for Howard...but, bad for the posters on this Board who have been denied their "Eureka" moment.

That is all bullcrap. Nobody has "let the cat out of the bag." It just seems likely because of the conversation they had in the lab.
Denied their "eureka" moment? Please, it's not that much of a stretch. It would have been more of a gentle "oohh!" moment.

Fans have been waiting for this guy (meaning Howard’s Dad) for 9+ seasons...think we are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay past "a gentle "oohh!" moment".
As for, "cat/bag"; I'm still .

I haven't. I couldn't care less what happened to him if I tried. And I don't want to see him. It could easily be another Meemaw sized disaster. share

Or a Penny's brother sized fail. We could go back and forth forever on this. But the fact that they had the time to devote to setting up Professor Proton makes a difference. With 18 1/2 minutes now for an average storyline, I'm not sure they'd devote it all to Howard's dad, or that it would be enough if they tried. share

Not really the point...
The point being that there is no way to "call" it…that it could just as easily turn out to be one way as it could the other.

I know you did, but I can't figure out why. It makes no sense to me whatsoever. i wish I could understand it but I just can't.
share"Air Force soldier"? WTF?
