I really want to meet Wil Wheaton

Was that the one where Meg became obsessed with Brian?

No, it was when Meg, because everyone is so horrible to her all the time, became obsessed with an extremely conservative form of Christianity, and it allowed good ol Seth MacFarlane to make all sorts of sweeping anti-religion statements. I didn't care for that, but if it had been funny, I would have overlooked a lot - Douglas Adams, for example, was frequently anti-religion but he was funny about it. But it wasn't funny. At all. As usual on Family Guy these days, I spent most of the episode feeling sorry for poor Meg and wanting to give her a hug.

The funny parts involved Stewie kidnapping the TNG crew. Some of that was pretty funny.

Yeah, the christianity plot was really dumb, and I'm an athiest, so I assure you it wasn't funny.

The TNG story had it's moments. The instant death of Tasha Yar was pretty classy actually, and for sheer weirdness I can't get Brent Spiner ordering chicken mcnuggets out of my head.
 
^ Good to know! I have heard several professed atheists and agnostics say the same thing, so I was pretty sure that my comedic instincts hadn't been completely warped by my Christianity. But you never know.

The TNG story had several wild, weird and downright wacky moments - I wish it had been the A-plot instead of the B-plot.
 
After discovering his blog and other web related items he was involved in, he seems like a pretty cool dude with a wicked sense of humor.
 
If one meets him, bring up the bit on the Season 1 Thundercats DVD extra where he said he had the hots for Cheetara as a kid. ;)
 
In my opinion Wesley Crusher was a pretty good character, not remotely as bad as he is made out to be.
