Wil Wheaton's Star Trek TNG reviews

@Tengu

Him and the actress who played B’Ellana Torres spent the whole episode sniping at eachother. It was…interesting.

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.

@PoorYorick

Well, from the general tenor of this thread, probably because of all the fawning, and posters throwing their panties at him.

Is that anything like the Dopers fawning over “Weird Al” Yankovic lurking on the SDMB?

@Jim's Son

Wesley Crusher was the most nauseating character ever to appear on any Star Trek Series.

This blog’s for you (the first part, anyway).

@Jayrot

Such as this comment 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!

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.

[Jayrot]

And so where does that leave savaging Wesley Crusher?

@DirkGntly

What the heck does he do for a living, day-to-day…?

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!

@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.

So brilliant I had to quote it too

He didn’t really savage it, he saw the good where it was and brought it forth for us
