I don’t normally catch Robot Chicken, but since it was airing a new episode last night and I was still riding the high from their awesome Star Wars: Episode II DVD (giveaway in progress until this Wednesday!), I flipped it on. Then there was a skit that I was really, really shocked I’d never heard of before, especially from Wil Wheaton via Twitter. In this skit, the writing for the third season of Star Trek: The Next Generation is about to begin, and they acknowledge the fan backlash over Wil’s character, Wesley Crusher. How to “fix” the problem? Well, you just go and watch and find out.



Incidentally, Wil says he didn’t lend the voice for the character in this skit but would have gladly done so if asked.
