Wil Wheaton reviews Star Trek episodes!

Posted Sep 9th 2006 12:16PM by Brad Hill

OMG, Wil Wheaton posted the first of a projected series of Star Trek: The Next Generation reviews, at TV Squad. Will starred in ST:TNG as Ensign Wesley Crusher, and I apologize to Trekkies for the obviousness of pointing that out. As a Trekkie (Trekker? whatever) myself, I find it insanely cool to read Wil commenting on his own own legendary TV show and iconic character. He recaps the plot with amusing cynicism, rips a writer for giving him bad lines, and offers memories from behind the scenes. It's what I and countless others have always wanted: a virtual version of watching the episode on DVD at Wil's house.

Wil posted this first review on the 40th anniversary of the first Star Trek broadcast (the Kirk-Spock show, not the Picard-Data show that Wil was in), and will be continuing the series on an approximately bi-weekly basis.

1. Is he a god or what? There are many others writers, who keeps plot. Why Wil?

4. Funny how Will has changed little from the series. I have been watching Start Trek: TNG nightly for the past two weeks on G4 and he has hardly aged. Wheaton kind of reminds me of Dick Clark, the forever teenager an iconic symbol of American youth.

5. Can you post some samples of the video? I would love to see this episode and the future episodes. I visited TV Squad but got lost in all the hollywood drama and gamshows.

6. Too bad he's terrible actor with no stage presence. Next to Whoopie Goldberg, he's a good reason not to watch many ST:TNG episodes.
