Once I despised Wil Wheaton. Now I think he's pretty awesome. His web show 'Table Top' is great.

Fun!

I love his cameos on Big Bang Theory. I really thought his later TNG episodes were good. I liked it when he got to play a bit of a rebel.

He's been fantastic on Big Bang. And I agree that his later TNG episodes were better. The one that had him involved in the cover-up a cadet's death at Starfleet Academy was quite good.

I hated it early on when he saved the ship every other week. Even he makes fun of that stuff now.

He was also hilarious on The Guild, Felicia Day's web show that spoofs WoW.

In the Scifi series 'Eureka' he had some good scenes as a smarmy self-obsessed researcher with a wicked temper and a lot of great put downs, mostly at the character Douglas Fargo's expense.

Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

That was beautiful.
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

I forgot all about Eureka. He was spot on for that part.

I'm a big fan of Wheaton.  He's a "nerd's nerd".  8) 


As others have noted, he's great on TBBT.  Also, by most accounts, he hated the Wesley character as much as (if not more than) the fans did, and it was apparently one of the reasons he finally left the show.  Much kudos to the guy.
