Wil Wheaton

Wil Wheaton (Playing Himself) first appeared in The Creepy Candy Coating Corollary as he enters a card game tournament (Mystic Warriors of Ka'ah) with Stuart and playing against Sheldon and Raj. Sheldon only joined because he wanted to confront him over a fictional incident of the past: a young Sheldon was devastated when Wheaton (Wesley Crusher in Star Trek: The Next Generation) failed to show up at a fan convention in 1995. In the final match, Sheldon is about to defeat his hated rival, but Wheaton tricks him once more and prevails. Wil Wheaton reappears in the episode The Wheaton Recurrence, where he breaks up Leonard and Penny's relationship in order to win a bowling competition against the main characters.
