Today in things that make us scream incoherently

William Shatner Is Making A Xena Documentary, Starts By Calling Its Fans “Needy”

by Jill Pantozzi | 12:55 pm, September 8th, 2012

I’m a die-hard Trekker but that doesn’t mean I have to love everyone who’s ever acting in the long-running saga. For every George Takei or Wil Wheaton, there’s a William Shatner. The Star Trek actor has certainly made a niche for himself in recent years acting as the spokesperson for Priceline and performing in other comedic offerings but he’s also turning into a documentarian. Previously he directed The Captains, a film more suited to his expertise, and a Trek fan documentary called Get a Life, but now he’s set his sights on fans of Xena: Warrior Princess and it’s safe to say he’s out of his depth.

I See What They Did There

Wil Wheaton Almost Makes My Star Trek Reboot Come True With Carl From The Walking Dead

by Jill Pantozzi | 5:45 pm, July 5th, 2012

This is just the best. Not too long ago, I took it upon myself to recast the actors of Star Trek: The Next Generation in a theoretical reboot. I was prepared for the worst from casual and hardcore fans alike, but it actually got an extremely positive response. I even found out that one of the TNG actors, Wil Wheaton, posted about it on his Facebook saying it was “awesome.” Year. Made. And then I saw this. Unbeknownst to me, Wheaton has met the actor I chose to replace his character, Wesley Crusher, in the reboot – Chandler Riggs, aka Carl from AMC’s The Walking Dead - and made a short video with him cracking wise at both their alter egos. Wheaton said it was filmed earlier this year (I’m guessing at a convention) but he just posted on his YouTube channel yesterday. I’m so glad he did.

Congratulations are in order for Ohio couple Scott Everhart and Jason Welker who tied the knot yesterday at Midtown Comics in New York City. The two had their first date at a comic-related event so it only made sense to get married in front of a wall of comics. All Astonishing X-Men #51 to be exact. (via The Advocate)

Set Your Nostrils To Cry: Wil Wheaton Gives A Touching Speech At Star Trek Cast Reunion

by Jill Pantozzi | 1:17 pm, May 3rd, 2012

These are the days I most wish we had transporter technology. If we did, I wouldn’t have missed the cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation reuniting at the Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo for the first time in twenty years. Yes, as a Trekker, it would have been amazing to witness that first-hand but thanks to the internet, we can still check out the happenings. For instance, the moment Battlestar Galactica actor Aaron Douglas got up to ask Wil Wheaton, who played young Wesley Crusher on the series, what it felt like being on stage with them again after having left when he was eighteen. Seriously, grab a tissue now.
