As many of my friends know, I’ve been watching a lot of Star Trek: The Next Generation recently. This is interesting to some because I’ve never watched the series before (either interesting in an “OMG how could you not?” or a “Why start now?” kind of way).
Star Trek is just one of the many things that I’ve experienced considerably later then my peers. Growing up I had seen the Star Wars movies. After all, how could you not? Star Trek, though, just seemed like a bunch of boring dialog happening in space by comparison. Anytime a cliché Trek vs. Wars argument broke out I would quickly jump on the Star Wars bandwagon. I’ve always found it hard to avoid an argument and, I mean, come on, it has lightsabers and jedi and The Force!
Let me tell you an important fact: Jean-Luc Picard could kill any jedi, ever, and without even trying. At least as far as I’m now concerned. I don’t know if I would have been able to appreciate the series as much as it deserves when I was younger, but I wish I would have tried. I’m not much of a critic in the sense that it’s often difficult for me to explain, or sometimes even know, why I like or dislike something. It’s more often a gut-sense, and it’s telling me that Star Trek is great.
So you’re probably wondering who the guy in the photo is by now. That’s Wil Wheaton, the actor that portrayed Wesley Crusher in ST:TNG. Turns out he has a considerable web presence, including some blogs I found interesting and humorous. And an article at SuicideGirls (always fun). And a Flickr account. Why is recursively browsing the Internet so much like stalking?
Lessee, I think I took icanhascheezburger.com to LOLCODE before being distracted by LOL BOTS which was surpassed only by SuicideGirls but was actually Wil in disguise.
