The Big Bang Theory: 15 Insane Details You Definitely Missed
14. Wil Wheaton's House Address Is A Reference To His Star Trek Fame
In the season twelve episode "The D&D Vortex", Sheldon visits Wil Wheaton's house as a means of apologising to his enemy after projectile vomiting on William Shatner on Wheaton's Professor Proton show, with Shatner coincidentally being at Wil's house at the time as part of a celebrity Dungeons and Dragons group. Also in attendance are Kevin Smith, Joe Manganiello, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and, oddly, Stuart.
As detected by one Reddit sleuth, Wil Wheaton's house number is 1701. A needless tidbit of information to the common eye, it's a major hidden detail to fans of Star Trek: The Next Generation. 1701 was the fleet registry of USS Enterprise NCC-1701 D, of which Wheaton - who portrayed Wesley Crusher - was the flight control officer between 2364 and 2367.
You can believe one of two stories here, either the house used in the show actually is registered as 1701 or the crew decided to give a nod to Wheaton's past life. Either way, it's a scrupulous slither of information for Trekkies to relish in.
