    You make me laugh.
    Also I am sad I am missing out on this show. Damn you CBS.

      They make Pirates of us all. CBS streaming is now absorbed by Peacock, which is better, but still not thrilled.

        CBS is Paramount not Peacock, Peacock is NBC

      I duh. Damn you paramount plus! I can’t do another streaming service.

      I cheated CBS and borrowed it from my library.

        CBS got the library’s money, so I tend to think that you’re okay. 🙂

    I love this show! I am hopeful that you will get to reprise your role on it.

    I love this show so much! Wish you were in it. I think various actors like you and Tracee Lee Cocco would fit well as recurring characters. =)

    I’m sad, I’ve been with Star Trek a long time (since it started in 1966) and retired from a life-long career as a programmer, but I don’t know what “Lower Decks” is or means. Could someone enlighten me please!

      I had to google it. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Trek:_Lower_Decks

        Thanks Kim and Faith!

      Lower Decks is an animated series. It is in the TNG world, but has an 80s cartoon feel. It focuses on the crew in the lower decks….the ensigns etc. It is awesome!!
      It streams on Crave in Canada.

    I’ve seen all of Discovery, I’ll look into Lower Decks.

  10. Patrick says:

    Wonderful show. Well worth everyone’s valuable time.

  11. Killbo Baggins says:

    You’re not wrong, Mr Wheaton.

    No-one else here in the comments seems to be cottoning on that Mr. Crusher may be making a guest appearance on Lower Decks … can’t wait, Wil!

    1. Wil says:
      30 August, 2021 at 5:02 pm

      I wish

      1. Carl Setzer says:
        30 August, 2021 at 5:22 pm

        Me, too.

      2. KimJ says:
        30 August, 2021 at 5:23 pm

        We ALL wish!

      3. evilneuro says:
        31 August, 2021 at 7:51 am

        Well, damn.

        Or … you’re doing the “I didn’t get the thing … [thing happens] … YEAH, I DID!” fake out thing. Right?

        Right?

    2. Jude says:

      Could be a whole new character voiced by Wil Wheton. I would name them Parzival Cooper or Sheldon Watts as an homage to Wil’s narration and appearances on Big Bang Theory. Perhaps with a penchant for IPAs and a tabletop game that would look like the tri-level chess, but 3 levels of Settlers of Catan.

    Does anyone know if this is screening in Australia?

    1. Gary Sturgess says:
      30 August, 2021 at 6:03 pm

      Indeed it is, on Amazon Prime here.

      1. Bookabye Baby says:
        30 August, 2021 at 6:05 pm

        Thank you 🙂

        If its on Prime I am definitely checking it out. Thank You for posting this. Peace.

    My Google feed recommended this post to me. This one. Of all your posts. This is the one Google looked and said “oh you’ll love this one.”

  15. Phlaym says:

    I love the show so much!

    That’s a really good post.

    When do we get your cameo??? They absolutely can not mine 50 years of Star Trek for material and not include you. For all the feelings he embodies, Wesley is iconic and I think he needs to come back with the Traveler!

  18. Justin Nichols says:
    31 August, 2021 at 7:08 am

    I mean they could at least joke about your appearance, in uniform, in Star Trek Nemesis. You once replied to me via email about any kind of explanation for Wesley’s magical return and you said, “I guess they left it up to our imagination.” Dammit, my imagination sucks. I want answers!

  19. clubschadenfreude says:

    wish I could like it. It’s like fingernails on blackboard for me.

  20. wabbit89 says:
    31 August, 2021 at 10:09 am

    I was hesitant. I didn’t need to be. I’m an episode or two behind right now, but I just watched the “His Eyes Open” episode and I laughed so hard.

  21. Runa says:

    I love Lower Decks! It’s one of my favourite Star Trek series.

  22. Michael Kelleher says:
    2 September, 2021 at 8:11 pm

    Nothing else needs to be said. Just started it last week and it immediately became my 4th fav series (TNG, original, DS9, Lower Decks)! Maybe someday we’ll get a pure-energy Wesley arguing with Riker about beard quality.

    As much as I enjoyed season 2 of Discovery, Lower Decks is striking that perfect balance of humour and adventure that comes from a place of deeply loving and caring about Star Trek, and also realizing that it can be INCREDIBLY stupid at times.

  24. Alan C Burnstine says:

    I thought I would hate this. I mean, Star Trek Overt Comedy? No thank you, even though I loved Galaxy Quest which was a funny love story to Star Trek. I don’t like The Orville, but have never been a fan of Seth’s work in general. However, I got Paramount Plus for $. 99 for a month on prime day, watched Picard and Discovery and although not perfect, I thought the writing and acting was great. Just finished Lower Decks through the current episode and I am planning on keeping the Paramount+ subscription because I really want to see the rest of this, and the next Picard season (even though it includes time travel…. Yuck). Also want to see the new Captain Pike show (can’t think of the name for “reasons”). Just really happy that they have writers keeping true to the Trek legacy (no thanks to JJ).
