[...] The commentary, however, is chock full of information and trivia. With five people (J.J. Abrams, Bryan Burk, Damon Lindelof, Roberto Orci and Alex Kertzman) there’s never a pause or downtime. It’s almost too much information, like there should have been two separate commentary tracks, but it’s never overwhelming. The commentary does cover some things like the use of Sabotage (not a Shatner reference, just a “kick ass song”) and Kirk’s apple during the Kobiyashi Maru. There’s also a lot of technical information, pointing out Easter eggs and other interesting information. [...]

No.. no more Will.. I was getting so tired of Wil … It didn”t feel like I was watching Star Trek because Wil kept getting all the time.. it was crazy.. I wish they had knocked off Wil instead of Kirk.

Sorry Wil… nothing about your acting.. but it was the producers and writers fault.

42: No, not the asian dude! He was watching from the middle of the window. Its a different actor who turns to Spock. Watch the scene again! I swear that that guy is Barkley.

one thing i never quite understood about Wheaton is that hes like this HUGE Trekkie….yet he left star trek?

if he loved it that much why leave? why not have just seen it out till it ended? (another 3 years)

I know he probably left to pursue other stuff and try and be in movies again (which he probably couldnt fit around the tv series) but still…youd think being in a massively succesful star trek show would be enough….especially for a huge fan.

maybe at the time he (or those advising him) thought he was missing out on being the next big thing like his Stand By Me costar River Phonix had been hailed…..and doing a meagre role in TNG was holding him back? (plus he was pretty much seen as the Jar Jar of Sci Fi in the 80s/early 90s by fans…so all the negativity cant have helped)

that obviously didnt happen so in hindsight hed have been better off staying in the show…..Ironically if hed carried on hed have more than likely been in all the TNG movies which were quite a big deal at the time (esp the first 2)….not just a blink and you’ll miss it cameo that was cut out of Nemesis. Hed have been an young adult in the films and might have been seen as the hot young Zac Efron type guy with girls swooning etc as opposed to the annoying kid like he was in the series – which mightve gotten him noticed and led to other film roles in the 90s (The Matrix? i always thought hed have been a pretty good fit as Neo)

Oh, one other thing. If you really don’t like the guy, you don’t have watch anything he has a part in.

That’s what the remote is for.

OK, a few corrections:

“(All except for the times when he turns ON his bleeding-heart liberalism)”

“While I don’t KNOW him personally. . .”

You know, I personally never had a problem with the “Wesley” character. As for Wil and people’s mis-placed dislike for him personally, this is ridiculous. It’s not like he had a say in how the writers wrote the character. He was just the ACTOR at the time who had to play the part.

I’ve followed Wil’s blog, and enjoy some of what he writes. (All except for the times when he turns in his bleeding-heart liberalism). While I don’t him personally, nor have ever met him, he seems like a good guy. It’s nice to see that he has carved out a very diverse career, both in writing and acting, and didn’t end up like some of the other burned out former child stars. Also, I would remind everyone that he’s no different than you or me. He’s just a guy trying to make a living doing what he loves. Nothing wrong with that in my book.

[...] Wil Wheaton actually dubbed various voices for Nero’s Romulan crew. TrekMovie was nice enough to post an actual clip of Wheaton’s voice in Star Trek, which you can watch [...]

Has anyone seen Wheaton in “Jane White Is Sick And Twisted”. Very unusual and funny movie. Good for a good laugh to find all the Star Trek references in it!
