@jhop9898

,,the thing is that people don't know this man until they have run into

him several times like I have,I don't support him at all.Do not trust this

man,he deceives people.

[quelita28]

@jhop9898

..because he is a man with very bad intentions,he doesn't care

about the public,all he wants is to get rich out of people's money.



[thadarryl]

awesome Riker's a Jays Fan....sorta



[CheddarBob39]

He kind of looks like William Shatner now.

[AlwaysSunni]

What a jolly guy. Pretty great.

[quelita28]

I met Patrick Stewart in a Walmart of IH10 West

and De Zavala Road in San Antonio,Tx a few years ago.

Anyway, he suddenly started talking to me. He said he has family issues back in England. I called him

"captain Picard" by accident. But it was just one time and that was it. He doesn't like to talk about himself to fans.

[RORYgaff]

XANATOS!!!!

[mnvikingsfan1973]

I met Jonathan Frakes yesterday @ Emerald City Comicon .. He's one of the nicest guys you'll ever want to meet!

[quelita28]

@mnvikingsfan1973

That's great. Maybe Wil Wheaton should learn to treat Star Trek viewers with respect and politeness like this guy does. Have you seen him several times or just once? Many stars don't like to be seen more than one time,let's hope he is not like that.

[quelita28]

@mnvikingsfan1973

That's great. Maybe Wil Wheaton should learn to treat Star Trek viewers with respect and politeness like this guy does. Have you seen him several times or just once? Many stars don't like fans to see them in public unless they are in a convention or in an autograph session.

[Charmolution]

You know, when I first saw Code of Honour, I thought it wasn't bad, not great by any stretch of the imagination, (It is Season 1, after all), but not terrible. It was only afterward when I looked it up online and saw how others hated it that I realized that it was racist...

Also, at 7:10, I was expecting him to say "All toasters toast toast!"

[Blastaarrocks]

The best actor on the show! Period!

[farrell360]

I LOVE Frakes he's the greatest!!

[krist300]

"I don't need your fantasy women!"

[roush26]

@krist300 fine ill give them to worf

[MrTabby5000]

Patrick stewart still looks good and hes 69.

[MrTabby5000]

Did he get fat?

[MikeAM78]

@MrTabby5000 - A lot of people just put on weight as they get older.

[daystar]

Gotta love this cool guy!

[maxpower789z]

Johnny Frakes...the MAN.

[Rocky1990]

he should be captain by now...if not admiral =P

[manco82]

He cut quite a figure back in the 1st season of TNG(1987-1988). That is how I'd like to remember him, not this bloated mess.

[MrTabby5000]

Yea i know.Hes a bloated mess.

[anewunderstanding]

I rerember him when he was in full, star trek all the episodes, and first contact. Wow..

[40ooz]

ik him hes from bellefonte thats where i live

[BMan100]

OOOOOO BURN the jays! lol :P

[brikiss77]

You guys quit tearing into the guy because you hate his character.

[coldthunder31]

I cant get over it... Rikers walk....  Good times.

[quelita28]

Some of the cast of Star Trek:The Next Generation are nice like Frakes and others. Wil Wheaton,who played Wesley is the meanest person ever. Wil Wheaton yelled at me in Sears that he didn't need my help. In JC Penney I bumped into him again ,I said hi and he screamed at me to shut up,told me to go to hell ,called me an idiot in front of everyone and added that he didn't need his fans.He is horrible as a person. Don't ever approach him.

[goombax2]

Interesting. I personally thought his character was terrible. So I would never approach him anyway :)

[quelita28]

Wil Wheaton has had his mind messed up by the industry.Goombax2, one day he followed me through out the mall and started screaming to me and to the public that "he is a celebrity, that he needs respect and that he hasn't worked in 20 years". He freaked us out! Plus, he gets very violent when people don't want to listen to him and when fans approach him. He might be on drugs. It's best to not say anything at all because you don't know he he'll react.

[coyran]

I think theres a video on youtube somewhere called 'wesley crusher should have died,' which would've suited me just fine lol.

[MrTabby5000]

@goombax2

Yes wesly crusher should have never been an on screen character,he sucked.

[Arach]

yeah, this is pretty much the most transparent lie ever. for all I know wil wheaton is infact a douchebag, but there's no way your story is true.

[slashingraven]

Care to explain why quelita28's storry can't be true?

[Corsair2499]

Aside from the fact that it sounds like BS?

Wil is extremely accessible. He has a very popular blog, a big twitter following, and frequently appears at conventions. Some of that is self promotion, but it's obvious that he really enjoys interacting with fans.

Plus, he's actually been working steadily for the last 20 years. Voice work, TV, films, plus the several books he's written.

I don't know the man and he may well be an ass, but I'm quite sure he's not the guy quelita is talking about.

[manulito2]

@quelita28 hmm, sounds like he's really playing himself on "The Big Bang Theory".

[monkeydude11111]

@quelita28 Really now? When was this? From everything I've heard from people who've run into him or met him at conventions, he's a pretty mellow guy.

[quelita28]

@monkeydude11111

Wil Wheaton is a total jerk with everyone, he even admits it.

Wil Wheaton is not that great like he says he is. Plus I wanted to add

that day he insulted me outside JC Penney, a man near that

store called Security. Wil threw my glasses to the floor and

pushed me very hard. I don't want him around and neither should

anyone idolize him.

[monkeydude11111]

@quelita28 He "even admits" that he's a total jerk, yet he's "not that great like he says he is."

I r confuzzled.

[quelita28]

@monkeydude11111

If he admits it then why do people still think he is an angel?

[talaxian1]

@quelita28 not that i'm a big fan of Wil, but that doesn't sound like him at all.

[quelita28]

@talaxian1

Unfortunately,he hates Star Trek fans especially if they recognize him in public.

In my opinion,he needs help plus rehab treatment as well for a long time.

I really think fans don't know celebrities until they meet them,with many of today' s tv and film stars you go through huge disappointments and plus you get hurt by their hostilities. I don't know how Frakes is,but Wil doesn't deserve the support of the public.

[quelita28]

How old is he?

[quelita28]

A friend of mine told me once that he likes been around fans, is that really true? So many actors out there are so indifferent and rude with fans.

[goombax2]

Actually, he was really nice. We talked with him for a little bit, and he was quite casual and down to earth. If you have the chance to meet him, take it.

[quelita28]

My friend told me that he sits sometimes

with a group of fans and talks to them.

Have you heard if he actually does that?

[goombax2]

Well he talked to the three of us for a bit. I suppose that constitutes a group. :)

[quelita28]

That is great, how many days did the convention last and were you able to see him and talk to him again?

[goombax2]

He was there all three days. That's how long the convention was. We talked to him at least a couple of times. Really nice guy. Though the nicest of them all is Robert Picardo. He actively sought out his fans and chatted. We talked to him for a good while. Awesome guy!

[JamesOhGoodie]

@goombax2 Coincidentally he was the ONLY character I liked on "Voyager", so that's really cool to hear.

[snolge]

he seems like a really cool guy

[skylon6]

PLEASE COME AND AND VISIT US IN THE UK

[skylon6]

A real Professional Actor and Director.

Keep up the great work.

Respect,

Skylon6.

[zaqwertyuiopasdfgh]

cant wait until new series of beyond beleif in the newyear

[agnesed]

Oh man, I went to Spiner's Q&A this year at Fan Expo and instead of standing in the middle like Frakes does, he stood only a the podium on stage right. I really wish I went to see Frakes (since I'm a bigger fan of Riker than Data) but it was my first con and I didn't want to go alone (lol). Brent says that Frakes the craziest person in the cast (behind the scenes).

[goombax2]

I was at the Expo, but I missed Brent's I&I. He's quite the joker, but sometimes you can't tell whether he's actually joking or not. Seems like a good guy. Eddy (Adama) was hilarious on stage with Aaron.

[goombax2]

No problem. I will have some new I & I session in just over two weeks from Data, Janeway, and Admiral Adama.

Stay tuned!

[goombax2]

yeah, they're a lot of fun. I am not sure what other areas host this kind of thing, but I am sure there are many.

[hmrdulcimer]

Thanks for posting this.

[CarfaxReport]

thanks for posting!

[goombax2]

no problem, thanks for watching!

[prgwbtd]

Do you have the rest of his story about the cast that he was telling? Thanks for posting by the way.

[goombax2]

I do, I just haven't got around to posting it, but because you asked I will check it out tonight or tomorrow. Stay tuned.

[goombax2]

Posted part 2 and 3. Enjoy!

[agnesed]

thank you thank you thank you!

[goombax2]

Hey no problem. I live to give ;)
