50,000 Monkeys at 50,000 Typewriters Can't Be Wrong

I fixed that Star Trek reunion selfie

  • blog

I don’t know why I didn’t show up in the original photo, probably because I was using my magical powers to not appear on film. Here’s how it should have looked.

Star_Trek_Selfie_FIXED

And anyway, I think this one is the best one we took:

Star_Trek_Selfie_THE_REAL_ONE

Yep. This is a totally real thing that really happened.

    Still, who’s the guy in the back?

      That’s Patrick Stewart and really, calling LeVar “the black” is terribly racist.

        Who called him “the black”? The only thing close in the comments is where someone asked who that was in “the back.”

          Whoosh.

            Nothing goes over his head. His reflexes are too fast; he would catch it.

        The back, not the black…

        Seriously…

      I think that’s Data.

        I think he means the guy in the far back with the lanyard ID and the jacket.

          Must’ve worn a red shirt in the OG lol!

    Are you going to be making a surprise appearance at the Montreal Comic Con with the huge TNG cast visiting? /hopeful

  6. Melissa says:

    Done. Just done.
    Perfect.

  7. Nora L. says:

    I just want to know why you weren’t there!

    Worf was cut off on the right, huh? 🙁

    You held up dinner for these…Worth it…

  11. Jose Velazquez says:
    28 August, 2014 at 6:59 pm

    I call bullshit. Shatner has clearly been photoshopped in.

  12. orcbast says:

    Wow, you have beautiful eyelashes. 😛

    How does Gates Mcfadden still looks THAT GOOD?

  14. KM Scarlett says:

    It looks like the original Starfleet Captain is just casually photo bombing the NextGen reunion photo. I know (now, I didn’t know a few hours ago) that is not the case, thanks to Mr. Wil posting a link to the original. There are two guys in the back I don’t recognize, I’m guessing one of them is an actual kamikaze photo bomber, but in regards to the cast, the man in back is Brent Spiner.

    If we can’t lovingly call LeVar “The Black” can we refer to him as “The Chocolatey One” instead? I figure if people are going to lean towards racist comments, at least make them edible and delicious.

    1. Sam Fagin says:
      28 August, 2014 at 8:01 pm

      Wrong, Brent is next to Gates. I can’t tell who the guy in the back is, but it isn’t Brent Spiner.

      1. KM Scarlett says:
        28 August, 2014 at 8:09 pm

        I accounted for that. I said the two guys in the back I didn’t recognize, and I’m pretty sure one of them is photo bombing. The other looks to be walking away unaware of what’s going on and he just happened to get caught in the pic. I then said “in regards to the cast” meaning, of the cast members, the dude in the back is Brent Spiner. Gates McFadden is technically the backmost cast member, but she isn’t a dude, so Brent it is.

        Honestly I was expecting people to pipe up on my delectable-racism-loophole-thing, not misappropriated locations of people. mildly disappointed, but somewhat relieved

  15. ZomBuffy says:

    I think the guy everyone is asking about is the slightly sideways guy with the lanyard at the very back. Given the lanyard, I assumed he was an employee of the event. Brent Spiner (Data) is the white haired man in front of Gates McFadden.

  16. Peter C. Frank (@NiteStar) says:
    28 August, 2014 at 7:53 pm

    I think all the actors who appeared in the original have, at some point in time, portrayed a “Captain” in Star Trek …

    Epic photoshopping, Wil. 😉

    thanks for all the laughter!!! brilliant just brilliant

  18. Hawaii Wheaton Fan says:
    28 August, 2014 at 8:23 pm

    WHY WEREN’T YOU THERE?!?!?! That’s what I would like to know. Unless you couldn’t be there I think it’s just so RUDE and UNFAIR that you’re not included in these things.

  19. Brian Russell says:
    28 August, 2014 at 8:38 pm

    This is perfect.

  20. Scott Lewis says:
    28 August, 2014 at 9:00 pm

    I think the guy in the back with the lanyard is REALLY Mr. Wheaton, in disguise! He’s fooling us all!

  21. Brian Groven says:
    28 August, 2014 at 9:11 pm

    Love it! Thanks for fixing it Wil!

    And that guy in the back is annoying. He needs to get out of the picture and let Michael Dorn (Worf) in instead.

  22. Keith Harrison (@keithmatter) says:
    29 August, 2014 at 1:25 am

    I’m surprised nobody else noticed the Tribble behind Gates and Brent.

  23. Spudnuts says:
    29 August, 2014 at 1:35 am

    My entire takeaway from this is that I can’t believe LeVar Burton gets away with calling William Shatner “the Shat.”

  24. Spudnuts says:
    29 August, 2014 at 1:38 am

    Also, presumably we’re looking at about 3% of Michael Dorn’s face on the right.

  25. Peteuplink says:
    29 August, 2014 at 2:12 am

    I was going to ask if you were going to be there. I hadn’t seen your picture on the adverts on various websites… I guess the “Entire TNG bridge crew” tag lines were false advertising then.

  26. voyagesofroadkill says:
    29 August, 2014 at 4:15 am

    Can’t stop laughing. I hate that you aren’t there, but at least you aren’t Shatner. Poor guy doesn’t look like he knows why he’s there.

    “Who are these people.”

    love how Wil is in front of Patrick, and Patrick’s head is 3x bigger. Snicker.

  30. eugaet says:
    29 August, 2014 at 9:36 am

    And…yep, verified I still have a crush on Gates McFadden.

  31. Sam says:
    29 August, 2014 at 9:51 am

    Thanks for a good chuckle! And you look great!

  32. Scotty says:
    29 August, 2014 at 11:11 am

    Is it just me or does Shatner look like he just “Shat” himself?

  33. golden says:
    29 August, 2014 at 11:13 am

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAH

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

    29 August, 2014 at 12:47 pm

    Ha ha 🙂 But Data is still the best.

    I had just seen this photo today and noticed that you – and most of Michael Dorn – were missing. Glad that one of those has now been hilariously corrected.

    Is that Sunday Jeff in the back?

  38. Steve Farber says:
    29 August, 2014 at 5:07 pm

    What is sour-puss Shatner doing in there?

  39. John Garison says:
    29 August, 2014 at 8:07 pm

    Looks likes James Spader is the photobomber.

  40. Thorsten Stier says:
    29 August, 2014 at 9:07 pm

    WTF has that homophobic schmock Shatner to do in this pic!?!?

  41. Sci Fi Fan (@eotworth) says:

    Need to do a full cast of TNG selfie that would be sweet.. I need a new background for my desktop.

  42. Mike says:
    30 August, 2014 at 8:43 am

    You should totally just put your head on the weird albino looking guy in the back…..

  43. D. Bowman says:
    30 August, 2014 at 12:26 pm

    LoL.

  44. Larry Ross says:
