Why I hate Wil Wheaton

I am not happy. Today, I returned home to check my usual websites of a non-pornographic nature, and I was HORRIFIED to find the name 'Wil Wheaton' (or his twitter name) not once, not twice but three times on DIFFERENT sites! First, he invaded my Youtube, then my Trek site and finally he appeared in my Twitter feed (I don't follow him. Some git retweeted him).

So I thought about it, and decided I would list the reasons why I legitimately dislike him. (There will be no pictures of Wheaton - that would just hurt.)

First off, he played the single most irritating character on Star Trek: The Next Generation. Now I know that hating Wesley Crusher isn't uncommon (most fans do). He was a wimpy, whiny, know-it-all brat. In countless episodes, he found the solution where countless MORE experienced officers, were clueless. In one episode, while under the influence of a virus supposed to make him drunk, he successfully fooled the Ship's Computer into giving him command AND then saved the ship with a brilliant idea.

In his final appearance as the Hated One, he's supposedl to come across as someone who's lost his way in the World. What he succeeds in doing is pissing off absolutely everyone on the Enterprise. Seriously! Even his own Mother hates him at the end. So when he disappears off to become a Traveler, you don't feel happy for him. You feel sorry for ALL the other Travelers.

Thank you for taking him away. We would send a fruit basket, but we don't know where you live. Also, you're fictional.

So hating an actor based solely around ONE role he played is pretty bad. I know, I used to argue this point myself when hatred of Wheaton was brought up.

Then he started popping up in almost every show I love. Criminal Minds, A Town Called Eureka, The Guild, The Big Bang Theory HE.WAS.EVERYWHERE. And in every single one, he played an obnoxious little twat (at least in Criminal Minds, he had the decency to die). Again, this could be a case of him being an actor who's found a niche of playing arseholes.

So go away and look him up on Google Images. Go! Do it now! Just don't link me to any please! (Also, please come back and read the rest of this blog!)

Aside from picture of Wesley Crusher and a random one of Kevin Smith, he seems to looks absolutely smug in every single one of them. It might just be the end result of seeing him in all the shows I love and making me cry because of it, but even in the ones where he's smiling nicely, he looks smug. And not "I've got a hot wife and more money than you" smug, but "I am so much better then you" smug.

I hate that about a person.

(Also he knows Felicia Day and won't introduce me to her. BAD MOVE WHEATON!)

I may never have met you, Wil Wheaton, but until you come here to my house (bring me a Star Trek figure if you do) and prove me wrong OR play a role where you're a nice, warm endearing character (that shite you did as a kid doesn't count), I shall continuing hating you.

So Say We All.
