William Shatner

I have to agree with the potato on this one.

So... kirk has an advert on British tv. Its freaking hilarious. Having trouble finding a link for it, oh well.

I agree that Wheaton wasn't cool even before.  Also, didn't Shatner kill his first wife?  Someone I used to work with said that Shatner was involved in the death of his wife when she "mysteriously drowned".  I don't know if he was spreading anti-Shatner propaganda or what.

I find it unaccountably reassuring to hear that there is anti-shatner propaganda. It reinforces my core belief in the ability of nerds to generate personal crusades out of any old crap.

Yeah, I heard somewhere that someone did something to someone else. Some guy told me he heard it from his sister, who got it from a room mate, who learned it from a complete stranger at a party who claimed he was told by a former tech on the original Star Trek series who heard it from Shatner himself. Yeah. Plus, it was on the Internet, so it must be true.

William Shatner found his wife drowned in their pool.  
He called 911, Pulled the body out of the water and attempted to revive her with CPR.  
She was a recovering alcoholic and an autopsy found alcohol in her system after her death.  

It's really a tragic story and kind of sad that people choose to use it for some petty sci-fi rivalry.

A friend of mine in high school worked as a set designer on the last season of TNG. There was a girl in our group who had a thing for Wil Wheaton and created an elaborate birthday card to give him for his 21st birthday and had the set designer give it to him. I refused to sign it because I heard that he was a loser that tried to pick up girls (unsuccessfully) at Videopolis on Fridays.

Go fig.

/me admits guiltily:

I had a thing for Wil Wheaton in something like the 8th grade or freshman year of high school. I thought he was cute. But not to the exclusion of the guys around me.

I did too, though I was still in elementary school. I didn't really miss him when he left the show though because I had already transferred my affections to J. Frakes.

Mastershake, let me be the first to welcome you to the boards, and to direct you to our guidelines: http://www.timewastersguide.com/boards/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=news;action=display;num=1080380396

You'll note that, while many of us spell poorly, we do prefer that our misspellings be accidental: no "u" instead of "you," and so on. We're happy to have you here, but keep that FAQ in mind as you write your posts.

I think we've already established that Me and Jeffe are Number one in the hood g. In fact, I believe EUOL bestowed on us the title "supid".

[Entsuropi]

You mean 's2upid'. It's the chavster way to say it.

Yes, I know, I'm old.

But I also didn't miss Wil Wheaton when he left the show, for the same reason.
