Hey, if Sinbad can do it, why can't Wil Wheaton?

The trekkies didn't want him at their convention, so he's gotta go somewhere.

"Wheaton left Hollywood in pursuit of happiness on an extended hiatus to write full time."

TRANSLATION:
Wheaton can't find an acting job anywhere and they don't even want him at Star Trek conventions anymore.

In the Star Trek CCG I had the Wesley card, I tended to put him on a runabout and leave him where my friend's Klingons could blow him up

Yeah, right. That's just an excuse so you can take pictures for your own collection.

Will Wheaton .. = Crap

Will Farrel claiming he's a porn star in that switch commercial =

Wil Wheaton is not Wesley Crusher, btw.
and he's not that kid with the leeches on his penis either.

some of his writing is actually entertaining.

just don't think of leeches.

I'm sure that it will be an entertaining talk.

It sounds like we have a Wil Wheaton fan here. But is it possible to be a Wil Wheaton fan without being a Wesley Crusher fan?

C'mon admit it. You love Wesley Crusher.

Actually, Will Wheaton is a pretty decent guy. He knows quite a bit about computer stuff and its culture. Just socially sucks that he played Wesley Crusher, don't think anyone will let him off for it.

Well I saw him in person once and he acted like a complete turd. And this is when he had just left Star Trek not extra washed up like he is now.

I for one actually liked the Wesley Crusher character, and I think Wil Wheaton is a pretty decent guy. I used to read wilwheaton.net on a semi-regular basis, and it sounds like he'd be a fun person to hang out with.

Heck, I was pissed when I found out that they cut his scenes from Star Trek: Nemesis. I figured they'd at least include 'em in the deleted scenes on the DVD, but no dice there, either.

Let the witty personal insults commence!

The kid got to kiss Ashley Judd, and I haven't, so he's one up on me in that respect.
