I am bored. The server is down yet again, so I start to watch Star Trek TNG and I am watching the episode where little boy Crusher loses a couple nanites while he fell asleep, and now there messing up the enterprises main computer. He doesnt even tell the crew when he finds out, he just goes about setting nanite traps around the ship, I mean WTF?!?! I gues thats what you get when you put a 16 year old mommys boy at the f'en helm of Star Fleet's flag ship, right?

    No kidding, I thought Wil Weaton's character was the silliest thing ever to come out of TNG.

    Wil is an awesome dude (and dad) in real life. You can follow him on Twitter ( @Wilw ) even.

    Or check out his website at www.wilwheaton.net

    The key is to undersatand the differance between a poorly written character, and an actor who is forced to work with the lousy material he is given. Wil is a cool guy, a fellow nerd, and he has shared some great Star Trek stories and behind the scenes details over the years.

    Wil has said that when he was on the show, he wanted Wesley to be portrayed more as a bullied nerd, someone who couldn't fit in with the adults he worked with and was rejected by the teens on the ship. That's the sort of character that maybe us fellow-nerds might have enjoyed more, some poor loser kid who didn't have any friends, but got to work on the Enterprise.

    I think there was a Peter David novel that followed this route, and had Wesley constantly being bullied and mocked by the other teens on the ship. It worked well for the character, and added a determination to succeed and drive to rise above that was lacking on the show.

    Yeah, don't blame Wil Wheaton, he hates Wesley Crusher almost as much as the rest of us do. :D

    (only "almost" because when he thinks of Wesley he also is able to think of time when he could hang out with the likes of Patrick Steward and Brent Spinner :P)

    I can't figure out why everyone hates Hwill Hweaton...

    He was one of the lamest things to come out of Star Trek since the Corbomite Maneuver...but what do you expect from sci-fi?
