Sheldon talks to Wil Wheaton. Spoilers for 11.06 "The Proton Regeneration". Everything belongs to Chuck Lorre and friends.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Sheldon was still mad at Wil Wheaton after Wil had been cast (ahead of Sheldon) as the new Professor Proton. Sheldon returns chez Wheaton to confront his mortal enemy again.

Knock knock knock "Wheaton", knock knock knock "Wheaton", knock knock knock "Wheaton". "It's Sheldon again if you hadn't guessed."

"What is now Sheldon? Do you really want to meet my dog?"

"I don't care about your dog, I demand you hand over your Professor Proton Lab Coat to a real scientist."

"No, for someone as smart as you are Sheldon you can be really stupid. Why do we know each other Sheldon?"

"Because you were once famous from Star Trek."

"No I wasn't on Star Trek. Star Trek had William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy, no annoying boy genius characters in Star Trek."

"Alright then you were on Star Trek: The Next Generation."

"Precisely. Star Trek: The Next Generation. You know when that show started some of the Trekkies hated it from the start, they said it wasn't real Star Trek. Patrick Stewart could never replace William Shatner. They were right, Shatner's Captain Kirk was brilliant, Stewart could never had done a better Kirk. But I am sure you agree that Stewart was a brilliant Picard. Even though it had the annoying boy genius I reckon that most people, including you Sheldon, think that TNG was a pretty good show."

"So what is your point?"

"Think of what I am about to start as Professor Proton: The Next Generation. Arthur Jeffries was brilliant, just like Shatner's Kirk. I can never be like Arthur, but perhaps I can bring my own spin on the Professor."

"But you aren't a scientist."

"No Dr. Cooper, I am just an actor, someone who pretends for a living. However, pretending to be a scientific genius got me this nice house. I am sure I can be pretend to be a scientific genius again, who knows I might be able to afford the swimming pool after all this."

"Who will make sure the science is correct on your show Professor Picard?"

"How about you Sheldon? It will be important that we inspire The Next Generation of young scientists with the correct science. I am sure that you, Leonard and the rest of your crew could be a great help in giving the show a sound scientific background."

Later that night Sheldon is dreaming again of Professor Proton.

"What is it now Sheldon. I am back in the swamp sitting on a damp log again."

"Good news Arthur, I have made my peace with Wil Wheaton about the new Professor Proton, I am going to be one of his scientific advisers. He is off my mortal enemies list."

"Has that opened up a slot for me on the list?"

"Oops, sorry Arthur, would you care for a pastrami sandwich?"
