Wil Wheaton mentions Aaron in his latest blog entry ….
well, at least i got a good story out of it…
My table in the vendor’s room at the Phoenix Comicon was right next to Aaron Douglas. Aaron is a good friend, and he knows that I’m a huge fan of his show and admirer of his work. He also knows that I’m way behind on BSG (near the end of season 3) so he’s made this heroic effort to protect me from spoilers.
On the second day of the con, Gil Gerard walked over to Aaron and, with a huge smile on his face, very excitedly said, “Hey, Aaron! [GIANT FUCKING BSG SPOILER] man! Cool!”
I clamped my hands over my ears as fast as I could, but it was too late. When Gil walked away Aaron looked over at me with tremendous compassion behind his massive beard and said, “Sorry about that.”
“It’s my own fault,” I said, “and it’s actually pretty incredible that I’ve known you this long and been at cons with you without that happening.”
I let a solitary tear fall from my eye and splash onto my table. “I’ll be okay.”
I guess if you’re going to be spoiled, you should at least get a cool story out of it, and I bet there aren’t a lot of people who can say, “Oh yeah, Gil Gerard totally spoiled Battlestar for me.”
Goddamn my life is weird sometimes.

If I’m remembering this correctly, Wil said during the ‘Geek Out’ guest panel that Gil’s spoiler was that Aaron was one of the final five cylons. Awwww, poor Wil.
