I never watched ST:TNG regularly (my parents weren't into sci-fi shows, so I only saw an episode once in awhile. And they all had Barclay in them. Ugh. Can't stand him. But that's a segue here..), so I wasn't too aware of the "Throw Wesley Crusher out the airlock" phenomenon. I wasn't too aware of the fellow who played him until he started a really rocking website, for that matter. But then I got addicted.
Just A Geek, semi-based off the website, is Wil Wheaton's journey from "didn't you used to be an actor?" to a kickass writer. You hear every detail of the crap he's gone through in his career, the ups and downs and being jerked around, and how he figures out things for himself. He's a funny guy, and if you have or haven't read the website, I recommend both. He just rocks. I'd follow him around on tour.
Four stars.
