Comicmix posted the third and final part of their extensive interview with Star Trek The Next Generation actor Wil Wheaton. Here are few excerpts from the interview.
"It was like I farted in church. It was just like the very few times I wrote anything political. It's as if, because I was a celebrity at one time, I'm not allowed to have these opinions as a voter and as an American."
Asked about how he writes a story, he said "Recently I've tried to describe the story in one sentence. Kind of like I'm pitching it to myself. Let's see, if I was to pitch my first Star Trek manga, it was "Kirk tries to stop a civil war before it becomes a generations-long conflict."
"Obviously, there's more to it than that, but in that kind of situation I don't have to worry about the characters because I know who they are. I don't have to make them up."
"There's another story that I'm working on right now and I'm still figuring out the characters. I know what's going to happen to the guy who is the main character, but that's just like putting gas in the tank and stepping on the pedal. The subsequent journey is about how this guy reacts to and shapes the events around him and how he changes. Once I get that one-sentence thing down, then I start thinking about the characters and who they're going to be."

Quote from rowboat:
I did take issue with him saying that most of the movies are "unwatchable". And I don't think the fact that he was on one of the shows makes him any more qualified to say that than any other fanboy.
You're correct, an actor's involvement in a production doesn't make them any more qualified than an audience to judge the entertainment value.
What Wheaton's involvement in Star Trek does is make his opinion "newsworthy" here.
