The place to talk. "On topic"? "Off topic"? We make no such petty distinctions here.

What do these TV characters have in common?

This is a little obscure (unless you've seen all 3 shows), but surprisingly specific.

Sheldon Cooper, The Big Bang Theory
Douglas Fargo, Eureka
Alec Hardison, Leverage

I'm not sure how specific the answer is, but how about Mordock from Star Trek: The Next Generation?

For a portion of his episode, yep, he fits the bill perfectly, although not by the end.

How about anyone who's ever watched Star Trek: The Next Generation?

Bill and Dobie have gotten it exactly right.

Answer: All these characters have a nemesis played by Wil Wheaton.

:shock: That's awesome.

I've never seen Leverage or Eureka but I knew Wil's been on all three so should have been able to figure it out.

Of course on BBT, he's not played by him, he is him. At least used to be. Now I think it's Brent Spiner?
