Thanks to @LevarBurton and @BrentSpiner I just had the worst case of "trying to cover the giggles" I had in a while. Sorry, Mr Spiner...

    No, I think that was a reply to something Spiner and Burton were tweeting about

    That would be my guess as well. They are both hard-core tweeters.

    I'm pretty sure it was about the tweets they were tweeting to one another. As much as I'd love to see Levar and more so Brent do voice work for STO, I doubt this is it.

    Seems to be a reply on an extended discussion between the two about a Spiner's recent colonoscopy. Apparently a very enjoyable experience: "The Dr. who performed my colonoscopy said, "See you in ten years." Sheesh, can't believe I have to wait so long for another."

    That was very much so the case. If you have a twitter account - I highly recommend following both Mister Spiner and Mister Burton; as well as @wilw ; Mister Wil Wheaton's twitter account.

    On their own they are funny and informative. And sometimes, like this morning, they get together; going back and forth and produce absolute comedy gold. Especially if all three get involved. It happens about once a month and when it does I often break down with giggle fits. :D

    Why? Wil is a cool guy in real life. It's not his fault the writers made his character as lame as possible. Even he makes fun of Wesley (and it's quite funny when he does).

    I hope you're kidding. Wil Wheaton's a cool dude. You should check him out in the web series "The Guild", he's hilarious.

    Wil Wheaton is a great guy. He also appears on some episodes of Big Bang Theory playing himself. And he's a villain! :D

    i have been following burton and spiner for a while now. I don't "get" spiner. He is either very odd or trying to confuse poeple.

    I followed Spiner for awhile as well, but never quite understood them either.

    I think it's fair to warn, if you follow Mr. Wheaton, and sometimes Mr. Spiner, they do occasionally use profanity in their tweets. I didn't know they under after I started following them. In fact, I don't follow Wil Wheaton anymore because of it. Gets to be a bit on the excessive side for me somtimes. Seems like a good guide, but a lot of language.

    In this specific case, I believe Mr. Spiner had a medical procedure performed by either Dr. Who, or Pete Townsend of The Who. It's also possible the procedure was done by both. I'm not really certain. The entire conversation was rather amusing.

    Thanks,

    Maybe Pete Townsend is the new Dr. Who? Who knows.... Or maybe Pete Townsend is really Q, and Q is Who, and created the Who to hide who he really is?

    You're kidding me right? Wheaton is possibly one of the nicest guys you would ever want to meet, out of all the people who have been Trek cast members he is the only one who is a gamer and a Trek fan.

    He's also a recurring villain on the TV Series, Leverage.

    I would personally love to see Will Wheaton 'kill' Wesley Crusher :)

    Hey a man can dream can't he?

    I think Whil Whweaton has embraced his inner "heel" knowing his unfortunate past in Trek. It gets to be a bit much IMO but it is true that he's actually a pretty nice guy.


    Although thanks to big bang theory, I hate him now! Wheeeeeeaaaatttooooonnnn!!!!

    Will Wheaton got me a Gmail beta invite in 2004 when I was deployed to Iraq. He can't be all bad.

    I kind of wish they had a Mirror Universe Wil Wheaton that handled the loss of his father at a young age differently but wasn't a mustachioed bad guy per-se.

    What if Mirror Wesley was a drunk and disenfrachised with the Terran Empire's ruthlessness and instead of following orders, he actually subverts the Terran Empire? In the mirror universe, he's a contrarian with issues but we actually sympathize with him more.

    Tie it into helping "cure" the prime Wesley and you could have some interesting character development as well as allow Wheaton to do more than just... well... be Wesley.

    I love him as a villain and if he were ever interested in STO, I'd really encourage bringing him in as Mirror Wesley so we can kill him off and he can ham it up before we do.

    Killing real Wesley feels dicier to me because Roddenberry seemed to regard Wesley as a stand-in for himself and I wouldn't want to tarnish that.

    But I think evil Wesley would be right up Wheaton's alley and also be quite a challenge if he was as absurdly resourceful as regular Wesley is.

    Also, given Wheaton's presence in things like The Guild, we know he can do tight budget online stuff if it interests him.

    Aron Eisenburg may be worth a ring for Nog as well, as I THINK he's primarily an MMO reviewer these days.

    Sounds like it could be interesting. Mirror universe does have a trend of taking the least likely people and making them very badass (Mirror!Sulu and Mirror!Hoshi, for example) and Wesley probably holds that spot among the TNG roster.

    Haha. Great minds.

    Yeah. My attitude is, especially if Mirror Picard outright killed Jack, Wesley would shape up as a kind of "Dark Hamlet" figure. I'm not sure if I'd make Mirror Wesley so much overtly evil as isolated and crazy, with a ship or station he's rigged up as a death trap obstacle course to scare off outsiders. Just play him as a cracked hermit with no social skills, who dishes out Portal-style taunts and insults.
