You can just see it in his eyes. They're so genuine and kind. That's hard for anyone to fake, even professional actors.

I remember watching Sheldon pester him and be an ass, and he never even got mad. He just looks at him with this pity like "I legitimately feel sorry for you."

I mean I know that was all scripted, but, like... his eyes! The man's soul shines.

It was nice to see, except in Datalore which felt like it should have been his second ep, how he was respected for his intelligence and observations and elevated instead of being condescended to by adults threatened by his abilities

I've heard he always got the most fan mail it anyone on that show. It was always just the loud assholes, as usual, causing grief.

He actually joined Lemmy back before it took off and got collectively driven off by the indigenous Lemmings and swore the platform off. He made like one post and was ridiculed by so many asshats.

Damn, it's cool that he was here but not cool that asshats drove him away. I guess that's a lesson in de-anonymizing oneself on an anonymous forum, especially as a public figure. It makes me wonder if he's still here interacting on various alt accounts. I wonder if I've ever engaged with him without even knowing it...

Hey wait. Are you him‽‽‽

that sounds about right for lemmy

It seems almost a shame not to cast Wil Wheaton as Arthur Weasley. Lucius says "Shut up, Weasley" to him, and then they both turn to look into the camera.

Would it have been any less confusing if you'd read "Wheatley?"

This BlockBlister. Is better. Much better!

This not Harry Potter. This Harry Plotter! Is better.

Do I get maximum internet butthurt points if I never saw the appeal in the first place?

Knowing that she cribbed most of it from Neil Gaimsn makes it doubly toxic to me.

According to wikipedia, HBO Max was launched in NZ in June this year. And I too am boycotting all of the TV series and streaming services that I have no interest in watching.

I'm not in the Trek fandom at all, but that's thanks to some toxic fans I avoid.

A brief summary though is everyone hated Wheaton at first because of his character in TNG, but eventually realized that even if you didn't like the character, hating the child actor was insane. He would later warm up to everyone for giving very canid, human answers to questions people have about TNG on slashdot. He was fairly active on that forum in the 00's. He was also the host of a tournament show on G4 and blew the whistle on the rigging the producers were pulling.

More recently though, he hosted the interviews for a bunch of nuTrek behind the scenes stuff and came across as a lapdog desperate to have some role in one of them. I only saw those because of the RLM reviews and I didn't even realize it was Wheaton at first. Compared to publicly boycotting HP, it was fairly petty.
