[QUOTE=Tengu] Him and the actress who played B’Ellana Torres spent the whole episode sniping at eachother. It was…interesting. [/QUOTE] Perhaps you mean “intriguing?” ---

From his FAQ: > [@Wil Wheaton](#): > > **Hey, I watched Weakest Link. What was that all about?** > > Heh. Well, see, Weakest Link is all about making people look bad, and making Anne Robinson look good. I thought that I’d have fun with her, by being even ruder and more offensive than she is. I thought the best way to accomplish this, would be to play a condescending A-hole. > > Mission. Accomplished. \>🙂 > > **So you aren’t really an asshole?** > > Well, that depends on who you ask. ---

[QUOTE=PoorYorick] Well, from the general tenor of this thread, probably because of all the fawning, and posters throwing their panties at him. 🙂 [/QUOTE] Is that anything like the Dopers fawning over “Weird Al” Yankovic [lurking on the SDMB?](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=392000)😉 > [@Jim's Son](#): > > Wesley Crusher was the most nauseating character ever to appear on any Star Trek Series. [This blog’s for you](http://wilwheaton.typepad.com/wwdnbackup/2006/10/dream_country.html) (the first part, anyway). ---

[QUOTE=Jayrot] Such as [this comment](http://www.tvsquad.com/2006/10/27/star-trek-the-next-generation-where-no-one-has-gone-before/#c2540938) from Diane Duane who was actually the original writer of the _Where No One Has Gone Before_ episode that Wil just ripped on. Even she knew it was terrible! [/QUOTE] Actually, he didn’t rip on it at all - he made fun, but gave it a B+ and said it was the first decent episode they did. ---

Wheaton’s writing is entertaining, but savaging first-season TNG is about as challenging as baby-seal clubbing, only the seals are cute and sympathetic. ---

And so where does that leave savaging Wesley Crusher? ---

[QUOTE=DirkGntly] What the heck does he do for a living, day-to-day…? [/QUOTE] Excuse me, what would God need with a paycheck? (Yeah, it’s the wrong ‘generation’. I never pass up a bad joke.) > [@Struan](#): > > He’s a Fark moderator, too. Come now. Nobody believes this nonsense. Since when is Fark moderated? /If it were, pointless slashies would be removed. //Subjunctive 4 evah! ---

[QUOTE=Robot Arm] > [@](#): > > Data says that we don’t know that much about the Ferengi, which is bad, but we do know a few things about them that seem to be reliable, which is good. Data says the Frogurt is also cursed. Brilliant. [/QUOTE] So brilliant I had to quote it too 😃 ---

[QUOTE=Bryan Ekers] Wheaton’s writing is entertaining, but savaging first-season TNG is about as challenging as baby-seal clubbing, only the seals are cute and sympathetic. [/QUOTE] He didn’t really savage it, he saw the good where it was and brought it forth for us 🙂 ---
