Careercow Wil Wheaton + Felicia Day - The "Man" who soy'd the World and the Fakest of Geek Girls, SJW sexual harassment fence-sitters

How many narcissists kill themselves?

Is he really a narcissist in the diagnostic sense? He seems more of a histrionic personality disorder weenie.

 

[Kulee Baba]

All this reminds me of what I think was the worst episode of TNG. The one where they all get 'drunk' and act like fools. Wheaton pretending to be drunk and goofy is some of the worst acting I've ever seen, by a child or adult.

That is the one where Tasha bangs Data though. For me the worst episode is Sub Rosa for the Green Fart Ghost.

That was the second episode. I don't know how anyone kept watching. Perhaps TNG is the only time where the soy retards who watch anything with the same name kept the ratings up and then it did eventually get good. Unfortunately it means that every time someone shits out a new Star Trek people keep saying "Keep watching, it'll get good eventually."

It is kind of fun arguing how in the hell they got away with doing an episode that's a G-rated but utterly brazen ripoff of an Anne Rice novel.

TNG is virtually unwatchable for its first five or six episodes. The rest of the season has a few bright spots here and there but for the most part "mediocre" would be putting it kindly. It's truly a miracle it made it to a second season, and I suspect if it had been on NBC or any of the big three networks of the time instead of syndicated it probably wouldn't have made it ten episodes.

I don't think there was any other real scifi show on at the time was there? TNG started in '87. Seaquest and Babylon 5 didn't start till 1993. Battlestar Galactica was long over by that point. Alf, Out of This World, and Small Wonder just don't count. Captain Power was purely a kids show. Alien Nation didn't start till '89. The star wars kids cartoons had already ended.

Even without going to one of the big networks, if TNG actually had any real competition when season 1 aired, it probably wouldn't have made it to season 2. When you look at broadcast television in the 90s, that's when scifi picks back up and it's probably largely thanks to TNG managing to survive past season 1. Farscape, Stargate SG-1, x-files, Seaquest, Babylon 5, Sliders, Weird Science(kind of), hell even shit like the Robocop TV series, Time Trax, and there was a whole bunch of other crap.

TNG wouldn't have survived if there was literally anything else on TV to catch the eyeballs of people wanting to watch a scifi show.

 

[Ghostse]

That was the second episode. I don't know how anyone kept watching.

Star Trek had become embedded in the public consciousness but there was no outlet, and you couldn't just youtube up the OG series or Netflix the movies. It was effectively the only game in town for people who the OG resonated with. And as pointed out above, there wasn't a lot of TV sci-fi for it compete against.

Another thing that gets lost in the sauce was the production values on sets/costuming/makeup compared to most anything it was going up against at the time. To say nothing of the scripting; seriously look at the contemporaries of TNG and while it doesn't really hold up now, for the time it was well above average.

 

[The Hardest R]

It'll happen eventually, and I, like so many others, will be there to remark upon how very unsurprised I am whilst simultaneously marveling that it took so long.

Wil gets just enough pity work and just enough attention on the internet to keep on living. If he lived in total obscurity and his wife left him, I could easily see him doing it.

 

[AnitaSarsleezian]

Wil does not reply. The replies are filled with awe at how badly wil got burned, and asking about his post history (which I guess had porn)

Reminds me of the time when Wil got caught using a porn set for his podcast or whatever. Doesn't really shock me the dude is probably a tremendous coomer.

Spoiler: Who did it better - Wil or Wicked pictures? NSFW

No doubt they're put off by his inability to grow the fuck up. But objectively he was only a key cast member for the first, and by all accounts worst, season, just like Denise Crosby. Is she constantly trying to insert herself into the fandom? I really don't know because she doesn't invade every other sci-fi/nerd adjacent space like Wil.

What's also really gross is that he's made Gates McFadden and Jonathan Frakes his proxy parents. Imagine a 50 year old ex-coworker still clinging to you as a son as he constantly cries about being mistreated by his real parents. It's emotionally manipulative and they really should give him a good "shut up Wil!." Remember when Beverly slapped Wesley? Do that again except for real.

Honestly I'd say more than proxy parents, him latching on to Gates and Frakes has more to do with massive insecurity and paranoia that he'll be excluded from anything Trek related so he latches on to some actors who are key players who would never be left out. So in that way he's using them to ensure he's always included.

That look on Wil's face when his wife cucks him with John Barrowman

Classic meme but never gets old. Even the writers of Trek had higher hopes for him as a man:

[Frog Man]

If memory serves she vanished off the internet after hitting the wall worse than the late Princess Diana and shacked up with some octogenarian multi-millionaire to be his personal breeder sow. Any notion of her making some kind of comeback seems to have thankfully died with her OG sugardaddy and part-getter Joss Whedon getting the Damnatio memoriae treatment he so richly deserves for being arguably the prime cause of just how fucking cancerous western pop culture has become in the last decade

Not sure why but felicia days almost 80 year old boy toys name is seared into my brain. Patrick Sheane Duncan.

 

[Pedophobe]

That was the second episode. I don't know how anyone kept watching.

It was either that or Captain Power and the Soldiers of the Future or late-stage Doctor Who or I don't know fucking Alien Nation. A dark time for TV sci-fi.

 

[AmpleApricots]

They did this a ton in the 80s

From all the stories that came out later, I start to feel this was just a perk of the job for some people to get to be around an unsupervised and self-selected child they held power over for many hours a day.

Star Trek's success is his creative genius vs. the people around him?

Roddenberry was an absolute mess and genuinely falling into dementia (probably because of his lifelong lifestyle choices) during early TNG before he died. We only got a better TNG and DS9 because he died. Especially DS9 like it was would've never been possible with a Roddenberry alive. Interesting connection with Wil is that he was basically a Mary Sue of Roddenberry. (Roddenberry's middle name is Wesley) When Roddenberry became too ill to be really involved in the show much is when they started to write Wil out. If you research him a little all you'll really find out will range from "absolute prick" to "sex pest". (also a big booze hound and drug fiend, man loved his nose candy) He is lucky he had his career in the time he did, I don't think it would've survived the current climate.

I don’t know how to break this to you but if there’s one man your wife is safe around it’s John Barrowman.

 

[Baggywrinkle_v2]

I found this interview with Wil on the Saturn awards: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPLPrak1HQo

Look at his reaction to being called a "minor OG." His smile is so patronizing as he explains how he really belongs among the ranks of Shatner, Nimoy, Stewart, etc. He also begs for more inclusion in Star Trek because he loves it more than anyone else.

Also look in the background at his wife standing there with no one to talk to. She looks so miserable and awkward.

 

[p1138]

I had honestly forgotten Doctor Who was still airing new episodes in the late 80s, but that's probably since it got even less air time in the US than the UK. Before it came back again and wound up on "syfy", I only ever recall seeing it randomly on PBS stations.

Look, mommy had to let her son have his special day with the reporter.

 

[grapeshark77]

It's kind of amazing how Day has faded into the background - she still works but seems smart enough to avoid culture war nonsense or posting dumb stuff. I saw her on Twitch a couple times and it's just normal gaming streams. She was bad in the new MST3K but so was everyone so I can't blame her for what was clearly a doomed production.

Maybe having the kid changed her? Having to be private about her family probably accidentally helped her stop be annoying online. Meanwhile Wil's typing Reddit posts on his Facebook.

I think she realised that during all the gamergate sperging that insulting the people who want to have sex with you watch your stuff is more trouble professionally than it’s worth

 

[Jetpack Himmler]

No doubt they're put off by his inability to grow the fuck up.

I believe that I have mentioned it before on this thread, LeVar Burton once said that Wheaton was "an asshole, but he was their asshole" at a TNG reunion in 2012. Oh, it was said in jest, but I can't help but wonder if that was how the rest of the cast truly felt. Note that Wesley's cameo in Picard S2 didn't include Picard and was extraneous at best. Meanwhile, Beverly Crusher considered Wesley "lost" in S3 and effectively replaced him with her and Picard's love child, Jack Crusher II.

TNG is virtually unwatchable for its first five or six episodes. The rest of the season has a few bright spots here and there but for the most part "mediocre" would be putting it kindly. It's truly a miracle it made it to a second season, and I suspect if it had been on NBC or any of the big three networks of the time instead of syndicated it probably wouldn't have made it ten episodes.

I find it a minor miracle that TNG made it to a third season because of the 1988 writer's strike, Pulaski replacing Crusher, and the fact that it was the one of the few instances where Star Trek had a clip show if we count TOS' Menagerie.

Hey, it's Chris Yates! One of the few actually talented and creative 2000s webcomickers. (You can blame him and John Allison for propping up useless idiots like Handstab)

The really sad thing was it was the second episode and they were already rehashing TOS episodes. It didn't bode well for the series at all. Plus, it really didn't work. When Kirk and his crew got infected, it was like a glimpse into the hidden side of characters we already knew, a side they didn't let anyone know. But there's a whole new crew we don't know yet and we're already seeing that Tasha and Dat want to bang, Picard and Beverley have the hots for each other,

I used to have the DVDs of season 1, and apparently Gene Roddenberry had a rule that there should be no references to the original series (I agree with this, otherwise it would have degenerated into a fanfic show). But apparently he decided to just break it anyway in the second episode of the show because he liked the episode. Apparently nobody else did.
