Sure Wesley Crusher was a bit of a weenie on Star Trek TNG but Wil Wheaton is a cool geek.

He’s also very honest and he’s issued one of the most shocking critiscims of J.J Abrams and his reinvention of Star Trek with Star Trek XI. On his blog Wheaton wrote:

Speaking as a lifelong geek, my knee-jerk reaction when I hear someone talking about “reinventing” something like Trek is that it will be a tower of suck, built out of an endless supply of Jar-Jars and midichlorians.

.. not entirely sure how I feel about the “reinventing.” At least the people who totally fucked Star Trek up aren’t involved, but why does anyone need to “reinvent” Star Trek at all? There’s a good reason it managed to endure through four decades and several generations of Trekkies and casual viewers alike.

Read the full post yourself and let’s all get some money together and get Wil Wheaton to write/direct Star Trek XII : Captain Crusher’s Revenge!

Wow, that is really impressive for someone like to that to come and completely be honest and saying that the people that are managing Star trek’s future are jackasses. Enterprise sucked, this seems like more of the same this film, showing yet again that the writters just dont get it!

it is a bit rich for someone who played potentially the worst trek character ever to come out with a comment like that! He didn’t even act well with what he was given by the writers!! I know it was cheesy 80’s camp but this guy was just an embarrassment.
J.J Abrams is a sick director, hello! LOST!! CLOVERFIELD!!

when this Crusher twat produces a DECENT body of work THEN he can comment!

“Captain Crusher’s Revenge” — yeah that would be something, wouldn’t it?
