San Diego Comic-Con is quickly approaching with enough panels & celebrity meet'n greets to choke an entire silo full of hungry tribbles.  Well, it looks like one particular TNG alum will be the host of a showing of his own "Eureka" episode.  Internet superstar & boy genius Wesley, uh, I mean Wil Wheaton is set to host the event July 23rd, the same night the episode airs on SyFy.  Yeah, we hate the name change too.  We caught wind of the event from the big man himself via twitter.  Check out the details below from the official "Eureka" Blog.

Zachary Quinto will definitely be in the next iteration of J.J. Abrams's Star Trek. Not that that's news, he does have a contract.  But, new Spock admits that it may take some pleading and cajoling to get his original counterpart to sign up for part deux.  Quinto tells the New York Daily News, the it took a personal plea from J.J. Abrams to bring Leonard Nimoy out of retirement for Star Trek XI.

At the IFC Film Center premiere for "Breaking Upwards" Quinto remarked "I think I might have to ask him this time".

Wil Wheaton has some serious geek cred.  He, of course, was the young Wesley Crusher on TNG.  He's also been in other "geek" loved movies including "Stand By Me" & "Toy Soldiers".  Well maybe that last one isn't loved, but nowadays he's built an empire of "geekdom" from the several books he's written ("Just a Geek", "Dancing Barefoot", "Memories of the Future") to starring in the extremely popular web series "The Guild".  Heck, he's even occasionally on "The Big Bang Theory".  Oh, and his ever popular blog.

Wil Wheaton, geek blogger extraordinaire (or as we like to call him, our little Wesley), is set to present the keynote speech for this year's Penny Arcade Expo: East in Boston Massachusetts.  The three day event is scheduled for March 26th-28th.  This isn't the first time Wheaton has presented at PAX, in 2007 he made his famous "Don't be a D*ck" speech that was become an internet meme unto itself.  You can check out Wil's 2007 speech here.

Our good friend, and counter-culture geek hero, Wil Wheaton recently revealed that he actually did the voice-over work for Nero's crew in Star Trek XI.  It's a pretty interesting turn of events, I guess Leonard Nimoy wasn't the only former Trek actor to make an appearance in J.J. Abrams Star Trek reboot.
