I say, "prove it yourself"... NOW

Wil Wheaton. I remember seeing him on a few episodes of Big Bang Theory. Recently they showed an episode of bbt and there was musk on an episode. I turned it off immediately.

I never would have guessed it when he first showed up on Star Trek.

Aside from the TV and Podcasting et al, he is also one of my favorite audiobook performer. I enjoy a good snarky science fiction and he has the best voice for it (something like a John Scalzi)

every "Wesley" episode was weak with subplot. As a human, i absolutely love him.

He made a comeback with Big bang theory and had fun playing on the fans disliking his character. Definitely had a great sense of humor about it all, unlike that bitter and petty man child, Musk.

Granted it was a much later episode with him - and a lot different than most of the stories focused on him.

I've seen this discussed several times around the web. Wheaton had a TV show I used to watch, and he's done some characters (like on Eureka) that I really enjoyed watching. I don't blame him for being Wesley, he did a good job with the material he was given.

Of course it makes perfect sense, but I wasn't aware of it. Now that i know, I'm going to look into those. Do you have any recommendations?

I loved him on the Big Bang Theory. He's got a great voice, and he's definitely got the snark thing down.

If you are looking for well known ones, he narrates the novel versions of 'The Martian' and 'Ready Player One' both of which were made into major movies.

But where I learned to love him was on John Scazi books. If you are unfamiliar with him, he writes a blend of science fiction and alternate near history that has a strong snarky tone. Both in the embodiment of wisecracking characters and as a nod to inside jokes with the reader. He is one of my favorite authors and his style pairs perfectly with Wheaton.

As an example, 'Redshirts' is the story of a Star Trek like mission where the crew starts to realize they are alien bait.

Or 'Agent to the Stars' where an invading alien race just needs a good PR firm

My favorite is probably 'Lock-in' where a disease leaves a segment of the population dependent on remote controlled robotic bodies

enjoy

His mother and father forced him into it and made him do it even when he tried to stop. The fact that he came out of this without turning into a drugged out has-been is nothing short of a miracle. He has remade himself on his own terms and is all the better for it.

Good for him. I am glad things went his way after all of that. I have great respect for him.

Having said that, there is a part of me that will always hate him because he had a career as an actor that I did not even get the chance to try for, and yet he did not want to do it. That is like a slap in the face to someone like me, who struggled for decades to even get my foot in the door.

Regardless, he deserves any and all happiness he gets. He was put through the wringer and should have some success.

I’m so sorry you think you only got your foot in the door!
Kinda like muskrat not fitting in.

Seriously though, I am sorry you didn’t get to experience the career you wanted.

Luigi, you're on.

I'm not joking.

Trump exists to use people and then throw them away.

for most people, it is mindboggling how many people allow themselves to be used and discarded often more than once.

Instead, we got the richest guy in the world waving a chainsaw around mocking "prosperity for me but not for thee".

Most used car salesmen would have known better.

I follow him on social media. I remember when he posted this, it's awesome.

I'm pretty sure I didn't even know who Elon Musk was 3 years ago.

Didn't know anything about him back then, but after the Twitter takeover it quickly became obvious what kind of a jackhole he was.

Wil Wheaton is a national treasure, and a very funny guy.

...who was deliberately raised to be exactly what he is. NOONE (😁 is his equal!

“JOE HELLER

True story, Word of Honor:
Joseph Heller, an important and funny writer
now dead,
and I were at a party given by a billionaire
on Shelter Island.

I said, “Joe, how does it make you feel
to know that our host only yesterday
may have made more money
than your novel ‘Catch-22’
has earned in its entire history?”
And Joe said, “I’ve got something he can never have.”
And I said, “What on earth could that be, Joe?”
And Joe said, “The knowledge that I’ve got enough.”
Not bad! Rest in peace!”
― Kurt Vonnegut

that is never filled drives maniacs to destruction--of others and often themselves.

and he did very well on Celebrity Jeoperdy. Made all the way to the finale

but in reality, they are the same....

Dear God, has he Ever EVER EVVVVVVERRRRR nailed Elon Musk!

It’s a dirty job but somebody’s gotta do it! (And as many of us as can help, DEFINITELY should!

... well-written putdown. Cheers for Wil Wheaton!

I wonder how he and Sheldon would have characterized this administration.
