Wil Wheaton's guest appearance on The Big Bang Theory airs next week, and neither he or CBS has had much to say up to this point about his character. I speculated that he could be a rival for Penny's affection, but it looks as though he may be a rival of a different kind. We now know who Wheaton is playing in this episode, and it's not Penny he's after.
Will Wheaton is playing... get ready for it... Wil Wheaton. That's right, not only is the real-life geek going to appear on the geekiest comedy on television, but he's playing himself. What's even better is that Sheldon considers Wheaton to be his nemesis. In the episode, titled, "The Creepy Candy Coating Corollary," Sheldon sets out to settle the score with Wheaton once and for all. NERD WAR!
We don't know too much more about the episode other than part of it takes place in the comic book shop. Did Wil Wheaton snag something Sheldon had his eye on? Or perhaps, Sheldon is just offended by the very existence of Wesley Crusher. Whatever the feud is, it's sure to be amazing. Why do you think Wil is Sheldon's nemesis? Feel free to post your wild theories below.

I have no theory because I have no idea who the heck Wil Wheaton is.

Sounds like Sheldon was one of the many who hated the character of Wesley Crusher on Star Trek The Next Generation. As I recall, he (Wesley) was quite annoying to many people.

Apparently Sheldon had some sort of issue with Wil Wheaton in an autograph line at a convention....let the games begin.

I think I read somewhere that Sheldon had met Wil some time before and at that encounter Wil was somewhat rude to him.

I'm not regularly watching TBBT (I need to catch up first), but I'm not gonna miss this. Go Wil!
