The show last night ranks in my top 10 JKvS shows of all time.
Keith and I were in perfect synch, the audience was totally on our side, and Save Ferris simply RAWKED!
I can not believe that I got to sit on the stage while one of my favorite bands of ALL FREAKING TIME played three songs.
There is ONE JKvS Show left this year, in two weeks…so make your plans now, kids.
OH! I totally forgot: Tomorrow (Sunday) is Wesley Crusher day on TNN!!
Okay, so I know that the little guy is totally gone and all…but there’s something infinitely cool about TNN devoting a whole day to that silly little freak.

Nothin like seeing your fave band live, is there?
Glad the good times are with ya Unka Willy, you deserve them!
Feel the love.
It sounds cool but I don’t live in California….
Still from the looks of it the show is clever and witty (with a fair handle on pop culture) so maybe Fox will pick it up and then drop it shortly after the pilot episode.
TV sucks almost as the state of the theatre in Baltimore MD.

TV sucks almost as much as the state of the theatre in Baltimore MD.
No chance of you trying out your funny at the Edinburgh Festival is there, Sir? It’s the only way me and my clan would get to witness some live Willy action (hey, not that kind!)
All the British Wheaties would be so up for that.
:sneakily readies tapes for Sunday:
Dear Hubby must not know about tomorrow on TNN, or else I’ll never here the end of it!

Oh, don’t be rough on yourself. We all would like to forget part of our adolesence. Hey Wil, at least you were cute as hell.
Silly little freak or not, Wes grew into a great character 🙂
Perhaps your not really saying goodbye to Wes…maybe speaking to each other, frankly and openly as adults, really means you were saying hello…coming to terms with each other that you both can live with.
Or maybe I’m just spewing horse piss…just as likely, I suppose.
Take care, rawk on, thanks for WWDN.
Save Ferris is totally awesome, dude. One of the best bands out there. I really wish I could see one of the JKvS shows, but unfotunately, I live in this hell hole called Houston, and I’m not driving a few thousand miles just to see that show. No, I’d rather stay inside with my tin foil hat so the aliens can’t scramble my brain with their evil alien technology.
But TNN is devoting the day to “Wesley Crusher.”
“That was Wesley Crusher, the doctor’s son. I’m Cadet Crusher, the bad ass. Wesley was a dork. Cadet Crusher was cool.”
See, even on TNN the little badass can’t get his due. He gets lumped in with the dork by his own portrayer as his portrayer was lumped in with him by stupid fans, so long ago…
Ooooh, the heartbreak.
bout time that wes got some props.
word.
I would agree. Last night’s JKvS show did, in fact, RAWWWK! Save Ferris was a blast.
Now, who is this “Wesley Crusher?”
What did you have to do to get the Wesley day on TNN?
😮
😉
*ahem* Greenlight?
Ignore the above post! ( I had no idea putting >
NOT TO MENTION all the sarah-ness.
and fun of me passing out in the halls while waiting for the girls with the stand by me shirt to be gone.
ack, I need to go back to sleep.
Sunday, on TNN the lost Crusher episode: Be there as Wesley Crusher the doctor’s son, loses his virginity to Troi and an unamed female Lt. at the same time and becomes “Cadet Crusher, badass”.
I may watch if only to see that final episode again.
I loved that one, and this really needs to be said……It was just wrong to take the character into a scenario like the traveller and then abandon that storyline altogether! I kept thinking what an interesting follow up that would make for a movie and I am very disappointed that they have done nothing with this! The plotlines are unlimited! Very Sad! *walks away shaking her head in disgust*
I look forward to seeing “that silly little freak” on TV – although watching ALL DAY seems a bit tedious, especially when we’re having frolicking weather. I know, it’s ALWAYS frolicking weather where Wil lives, but not in Toronto.
Wish I could’ve seen Save Ferris. I remembered who they are after downloading a few of their songs and have heard that they give an awesome live show. I’d get that same rush that you did if I got to see The Lowest of the Low (http://www.thelowestofthelow.com) up close and personal.
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
if you don’t know them- you should
But I will- in t-minus 1 hour and 29 mins
Have fun at Save Ferris!
Sweet. Freakin’. Deal. =D
Wesley Crusher day? That’s awesome. I had such a terrible crush on you when I was a kid. You are the reason I became a Star Trek fan, and my father will love you forever because of it.

And I was going to skip the TNN scene tomorrow! ‘tho I’ll probably just tape it and watch later. It’s been really nice here and it’s prime geocaching weather!
Totally off topic but a cute and soppy thing.

I really wish I had TNN
wesley crusher day!? tnn now rocks. seriously. totally awesome. i am not ashamed to say that i’m looking forward to it.
Wesley Crusher day on TNN..sounds good, but were there actually enough episodes to devote a couple of hours to the chracter..not that i’m complaining or anything..But come to think of it that problem means lots of Dr. Crusher..humm i say more Wesley Crusher, more dam it!lol
*sorry for all the spelling mistakes i’m sure i made.If i was on a spelling boat i’d drown*
Never read first thing in the morning…I missed the TNN part…it’s “Wesley Crusher Day”? Really? Wow, they’ll give a day to just about anyone won’t they? 🙂
Delphine. Stood closer than this to Lowest of the Low, they played at my university frosh week (sort of many moons ago). I wasn’t a big fan (sorry!) and stood around for a few songs and then left. Isn’t that always the way? It’s always a non-fan who gets to stand next to someone *you* adore.
Okay, so I know that the little guy is totally gone and all…
Well, _this_ LittleGuy is still around…
But defintely get bunny ears for the WesFest. 🙂
Hey dude, don’t sweat the Wesley past too much—I could think of a lot worse things to have done during childhood\adolescence or have on an acting resume (Ned Beatty being remembered for having to `squeal like a pig’, fer instance). Sure, Wesley was just the token kid, but he did get cooler. To be honest with you Wil, I’d kinda like to see an older, slicker Wesley Crusher—maybe he splits from Star Fleet and turns into a bounty hunter, or totally rebels and starts a galactic bike gang! 🙂
I am so STOKED! I am blowing off a Christening and my daughter’s High School Drama Banquet just so I can watch ALL DAY! Thank you TNN. BTW, my 16-year-old daughter says I’m obsessed with you, but I’m not. Really, I’m not.
hello!
sorry to sarah!! i was the one that brought all those “girls” with the stand by me shirt. hehe… there was one guy with us, but he was there for save ferris like me (no offense wil! i love you to death, but i’ve seen you before! =P). ne way, wonderful show! i’m sooo glad i went!! =)
Thank God my hubby works the day shift- he won’t be home to get in the way while I watch TNN— 🙂
The show last night was awesome! I’ll be there for the grand finale too. And how I wish I had TNN right now.
wesley crusher is gone don’t they know that? there’s no bringing him back..
So they are just going back to the old days and playing the best of Wesley? They better show you making out with ashley judd else i gonna bust a cap.
Hey just saw your page and think it is cool that you post everyday……Rock on.
Wesley Crusher day on TNN! Sign me up! Man, Wil you’re the whole reason I started watching Star Trek too. I was very jealous of Ashley Judd during that infamous on-screen (and maybe offscreen?) kiss. I, like many of your female fans, had a crush on you as a teenager too. Never underestimate the power of a nice fitting uniform.
(Hey, other Vanessa! Haven’t talked in a while!)
Anyway, Wil, was talking to a friend of mine tonight (who’s a friend of Keith’s) who was at the show last night. She said it was awesome and that you kicked ass.
Hmmm… wonder if I could manage to make it down to LA in two weeks…
I’ll say it again Wil,
Lighten up on poor Wesley, Wil. Leonard Nimoy wrote a book some two decades ago titled “I am not Spock”. I didn’t buy it. Leonard wrote a book a few years ago titled “I am Spock” which I did buy and read. Pretty good reading.
Fascinating how we become seasoned upon our own reflection of life all in inexorable time.
Some years later (TNG and Wes) and I’d wager some bright kid is modeling their life after Roddenberrry’s character, Wesley Crusher, still.
Lars
man, I feel like such a jerk now, sorry Amanda.
I really didn’t mean it like that.
I just meant I was super tired and waiting for everyone to leave.
Alas, the Yankees will be on at our house today. But, all is not lost, all those episodes are on tape. (Yes, I taped almost every episode of ST:TNG, only missed a couple. Can’t believe I’ve just admitted that…) I’ll be with Young Mr. Crusher in spirit. I just loved Wesley, wanted to take him home and mother him. (But, not in a sick, perverse way…) Hey, did you see Ashley Judd is on the cover of TV Guide? Wish I could see a JKvS show, but he’ll have to bring it to Rochester, NY!!
And there in is a title for YOUR BOOK:
“I AM/I AM NOT WESLEY”.
You know Wil all the monkeys will eventually
write the damn book for you..at this rate!!!!!
they are showing the ashley judd episode at 11PM tonight. if anyone cares..
HEY I just watched The Last Starfighter! did anyone know that wil Wheaton was in it as louis’ friend??
Wheres Wildo!
Hey Kiddo, thanks for informing us of the Wesley marathon. Man some of those episodes kick. 🙂
Hah, I’m watching this right now. Old Star Trek TNG are scary. I’m watching one where all the children get stolen. I presume they give back that crusher kid after getting annoyed by him 🙂
Don’t worry Wil, we dislike the character, not you 😉
