Attention Trekkers ...
May. 9th, 2009 01:38 amIf any of you are "Star Trek" nuts like I am - especially of the Next Gen variety - run, don't click, over to TVSquad to read Wil Wheaton's reviews of early Next Gen episodes. Like this snippet from "Datalore":
A few minutes later, Lore, having traded facial tics and uniforms with Data, arrives on the bridge just in time for the crystalline entity to show up, and this is where the episode, which had so much promise at the beginning, and had been dangerously close to veering off course for the last fifteen minutes, sets a course for planet Shark, and jumps right over it.
You can find more of Wil's Next Gen reviews under the TNG category here by scrolling down and jumping pages. (These are especially funny not just because Wheaton was actually in the series and, as both that and a writer, can hilariously slaughter the more questionable parts of an admittedly questionable first season, but because of his standing in Trek fandom - and his knowledge of that standing. Wesley Crusher may well be the only fictional character outside of anyone in "Manos: The Hands of Fate" more critically piled-on than Will Turner - and like his Bloomsian counterpart, Wheaton tends to embrace it with more humor than bitterness.)
Seriously - you'll laugh your ass off.
