I have nothing against Wil Wheaton. He seems like a cool guy.
But Wesley Crusher holy crap. I never saw a character in more need of an airlock drill. #startrek
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
"I made this device that can fix everything! I found it in my closet, turns out I made it for a science fair project when I was fifteen. Want me to play my Captain Picard voice synthesizer?"
@LegalizeRoofies: I've always loved that -- "I loved Galaxy Quest. I thought it was brilliant satire, not only of Trek, but of fandom in general. The only thing I wish they had done was cast me in it, and have me play a freaky fanboy who keeps screaming at the actor who played "the kid" about how awful it was that there was a kid on the spaceship. Alas."
That would have been so awesome. One of many reasons why I love Wil Wheaton. #startrek
Wil Wheaton shares some of my tastes & I'm glad he's working. I hate Wesley Crusher & I can't think of a happier moment for me than that one episode where he is impaled through the chest. #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

Just kidding. Like many, I read Wil's blog regularly and he seems pretty cool. #startrek

He's grown up to be a mature geek with a good sense of humor, but back then? eesh. #startrek

You have a great plot device right there. I would pay to see that.
Although not the Uhura part. Save that for the extras on the next DVD. #startrek

On another note, horay for Will Wheaton! #startrek

I hated the character Weasely Crusher but I like Wil the actor and he seems like a pretty likable guy. #startrek

The truth of the matter is, he's mean to be a real nice guy and also a huge sci-fi and computer geek - he needs more love! #startrek
