OMG help Wil Wheaton!

From the man himself:

Oh dear.

It appears that TV Guide is holding an online poll about Star Trek, and our dear, sweet young Ensign Crusher is currently leading in the "Most Annoying Character" category.

I know, it's hard to believe it, especially when we consider that Wesley was given lines such as, "We're from Starfleet! We don't lie!" and "I feel strange, but also good!" and the ever-popular "Course laid in, sir." But it's true. And so very, very sad.

Not that I care about this sort of thing . . . but actually, I do. I'm really tired of wearing that "Annoying Character" albatross around my neck, and if Wesley is voted most annoying in TV Guide's big old Farewell to Star Trek issue, I don't think I'll ever hear the end of it.

I'm not suggesting that thousands of WWdN readers go take the poll and stuff the ballot box. I mean, that would just be wrong, right?

Normally, I'd stuff this ballot box entirely on my own, but if some of you WWdN readers want to legitimately and honestly vote for another character, like The Computer Voice for instance — I mean, come on! How many times did the stupid Ship's Computer actually save the crew? Yeah! That's what I thought. She's got nothing on Wesley Crusher — I would be ever so grateful.

Provided, of course, that you truly believe there is a different, more annoying character than Wesley — I'd never suggest taking actions which could call into question the legitimacy of an online Star Trek poll. Oh no, not me.

Never.

Perish the thought.

I'm serious! Start perishing (right after you vote, that is.)

Thank you.

Seriously, I think the man deserves to be given a break! He was young, he needed the money! So go vote and OMG sav0rz him!!!!!!11111

HA! Got him out of the lead and put Alexander there, though how long it stays is anybody's guess.

I never understood why everyone hated Wesley. Sure he never got the best of lines but i was in middle school when i started watching and I was totally in love with the boy. Wil Wheaton was just the cutest boy ever to me when i was in 6th and 7th grade LOL. So maybe i am bias :)

Though why the hell Kirk is not on there is beyond me. I hated kirk, he had to be the most annoying character ever. Though they did have Alexander, so not everything was a bust.

Heh, I had a massive junior high crush on Wes myself. [blushgrin]

heehee, puppy love eh?

While at 22 I no longer pine over the young wesley crusher, I still think Wil Wheaton is a little hottie. I just like tech geeks LOL

LOL! I think I voted for ...Troy (however you spell her name). And that wasn't because he asked me to. I HAAAAAAAAATE HER!!!!!!! Too bad they didn't add "random alien babe with a blur on her when in close-up" I so would have voted for that one.

no, not Troi... wait, you mean Lwaxanna or Deanna? (can't remember if just Lwaxana was on there or both).

I loved both but I understand how people get aggravated with Lwaxana, again i think i am just one a small group, which wouldn't be the first time LOL.

But i loved Deanna, when i was really little I used to wish she could be my mom (I have parent issues LOL). Plus dude, Imzadi, all the way :)
