It's a match made in geek heaven: Wil Wheaton has just announced via Twitter that he is going to guest star on an episode of The Big Bang Theory this season. Wheaton, who is currently attending PAX (The Penny Arcade Expo), tweeted, "An announcement of extraordinary magnitude: I will be on an episode of #thebigbangtheory this season. That's all I'm allowed to say. GLEE!"It's not every day we get to review a TV episode that a former Squadder is guest-starring on, so I'm eagerly awaiting his Big Bang Theory appearance. As Wheaton is a self-proclaimed geek, he's obviously going to fit in great with Leonard, Sheldon, and the rest of the crew. The big question, of course, is what about Penny?
Will he be another rival for her affection? We left off last season with oceans and continents separating Leonard and Penny, and I doubt that they'll just run into each others' arms in the season premiere. So could Wil Wheaton be one of the things that continues to keep them apart? If so, is that such a bad thing?

He's actually getting ready to release a book of (basically) the same stuff from the first half of Season One of TNG:

As usual, the answer is money. As far as I can gather from comments that Wil has made, he was one of the casualties when AOL slashed the budget for TV Squad. And unfortunately, Wil's gotta get paid to write - writing is pretty much his main job these days. The occasional guest star appearance isn't generally enough to pay the bills.
