Re: Star Trek is awesome
As loathed as Wesley Crusher was, Wil Wheaton is one cool guy.

Re: Star Trek is awesome
As loathed as Wesley Crusher was, I was always a fan. I think I was the right age for it, ages 10 to 16 when the show was on the air.
He was a teenaged know-it-all IN SPACE! What was not to love?
The truth is, Wheaton was kind of a dick to his fans at that time, but he grew out if it.

Re: Star Trek is awesome
I have room in my heart for Wesley Crusher, I just blame the writers for way over-playing the Deus Ex Kid Genius angle. He's a lot more likable in the episodes where he's, like, a human kid, with faults and awkwardness and stuff, even if he is very bright on paper.

Re: Star Trek is awesome
Yeah, it's not that the character was obnoxious or anything, it's that the writers had everyone else -- supposedly intelligent and highly-trained Starfleet personnel -- behave like brain-dead idiots whenever he was around.
Even Wheaton has said that he thinks this was obnoxiously-bad writing, and that he understands why the character was so loathed.

Re: Star Trek is awesome
I just watched Bob Picardo in an extremely quotable episode of Supernatural.

Apparently, George Takei is launching a new web series.

Re: Star Trek is awesome
That was the first episode of Supernatural I watched all the way through. I was pretty much hooked when they went old school Shoemaker and the Elves with it instead of a more modern take on elves.

You've seen "Mystery Spot," right?

Re: Star Trek is awesome
And for some reason I just started imagining little fey creatures wearing white spangley jumpsuits with big pompadour hair. I don't know why.

Re: Star Trek is awesome
I've seen them all now. I saw a little bit by chance in a hotel room while at a conference. I expected the TV to be showing Angel when I got out of the shower because I didn't realize they didn't adjust for time zones. I left it on while I got dressed for background noise and was kind of intrigued. A few weeks later I actually remembered to check out a full episode and that was it.
Then I went back and caught up and I've kept watching going forward. Except for much of season seven, which really was a low point. Season eight was back on track for the most part so I'm enthused again.

It's a trap. They didn't say "Sorry," so I know it's not Canadian.
