    I love Wesley Crusher because so many geeks hate him. I hope he appears in the sequel, travelling back through time to rescue Spock and creating a device to recreate Vulcan. #startrek

    @ManchuCandidate: Wheaton does seem like a pretty cool, genuinely geeky, fun guy. Until recently when I discovered his blog/he started appearing on The Guild I'd always assumed he was a total dweeb a la Wesley Crusher. Turns out I shouldn't have judged him based on the annoying, whiny character he used to play. #startrek

    You know, Kevin Sorbo is a lot better an actor than people give him credit for. I remember him doing a guest stint on that mildly entertaining sitcom Dharma and Greg years ago and played a nice flirty professor who hits on the main chick not realizing she's married. (If memory serves)

    Completely bought him as that even though Hercules was still fresh on the brain. It's too bad no one will give him a romantic comedy to do. I think he'd do quite well in it. #kevinsorbo

    Whatever happened to that show io9 reported that was supposed to star Kevin Sorbo as some sort of Illuminati assassin with compartmentalized personalities that start to fracture? Or was that a fever dream? #kevinsorbo

    I had an unnaturally strong school girl crush on Sorbo circa 1997.

    "You really do have to admire Sorbo's willingness to poke fun at himself, screaming into the phone about his lousy ratings and then turning on a dime to hit on the random chick who gets his autograph."

    Excuse me, how is Sorbo poking fun at himself by doing this? Is he a well known flirt with autograph chicks, and a well known screaming into phones when ratings are low?

    @Charlie Jane Anders:

    I remember when they were filming Hercules in NZ, and when I was just a young naive little christian, Kevin Sorbo used to go my friends church with his family.

    He was actually really cool. He had a really gracious attitude - nothing like an egotistical jerk at all.
    I was really surprised, because you'd think that someone who was playing the semi invincible son of a God (who goes to church!) would have superior notions of himself. #kevinsorbo
