I've recently been reading and enjoying podcasts of Wil Wheaton's Memories of the Future, and I'm particularly enjoying seeing his thoughts on the character of WesleyCrusher. This also has me thinking about WesleyCrusher from an adult perspective and man, I gotta say: WTF? WesleyCrusher made sense to me the first time around. I was in my preteens surrounded...
If you were of a certain age when Star Trek: The Next Generation debuted on network television, then Will Wheaton is your hero. And while everyone worried if Shatner would get a part in JJ Abrams’ new Star Trek maybe you, like me, wondered if there’d ever again be a place on the Enterprise for WesleyCrusher. Guess what? There was. It seems Wheaton actually was in Star Trek this past...
Talk about keeping a secret! Wil Wheaton—that's Star Trek: The Next Generation 's WesleyCrusher to you—revealed on his personal blog today that he actually played a part in J.J. Abrams' Star Trek movie, a big secret that no one managed to dig up until now.
... as we like to to call him, the most grating teen to hit the sci-fi scene since the early days of WesleyCrusher) something pivotal to do. V airs on ABC at 8PM (CTV in Canada)
... had Data on board, it would have been destroyed or lost. (Don't even get me started on the times WesleyCrusher saved the ship!) Yet, we know that Data is the only sentient android serving in Starfleet. That means no other Starfleet vessel has a Data-like being on-board. We don't hear about tons of Starfleet vessels being lost. Does that mean that Captain Picard is incompetent, failing...

What If I told you that Wil Wheaton appears in JJ Abrams' Star Trek? You'd probably say that you didn't believe me. Heck, we saw the movie, twice even, and didn't see or hear a not-so-young anymore WesleyCrusher at all, not even in the corner of the screen. Or at least we thought that was the case. It had remained a highly guarded secret until this week when Wheaton blogged about his...

... his blog, I've sort of developed a small nerd crush on him. Yes, on the very same guy that played WesleyCrusher, rumored to be the most annoying and hated character in Star Trek lore. I don't care. He's pretty awesome, and I totally ship his character, Fawkes, with Codex in The Guild. The way he squeed over getting to meet JJ Abrams and being in Star Trek again made me love him for...
We've already seen Summer Glau ( Firefly, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles ) and now WesleyCrusher himself, Wil Wheaton ( Star Trek: The Next Generation ). How do you improve on that? How about one of the babes from Battlestar Galactica ?

Honestly, I dig the hell out of Wil. He's the first person to throw out the self-deprecating joke and to acknowledge his total geekitude. Dude rawks in my book. Even if he is a girlieman.

I follow a lot of blogs but one of my favorites is by Wil Wheaton . Some of you will know Wil as WesleyCrusher from Startrek Next Generation (TNG) or earlier still as Gordie LaChance in the film Stand by Me . Wil is also a prolific and very talented writer and his blog Wil Wheaton Dot Net is a regular part of my week. Most D&D players will also know that he is a committed player...
... If you don’t know — and really, why the heck are you reading my blog if you don’t — Wil played WesleyCrusher on TNG. Since then he’s made a name for himself as a writer, and it’s deserved. He’s really good at it, drawing the reader in with very personal stories and a wicked sense of humor laced with snark and webby goodness. That all comes into play here. In Memories , he writes...
