Indicting? Now there's a thought. Maybe Mr. Wheaton meant "inducting"? Hmmm...yep, that's what he meant, Mr. Spell Check!

Death's Head by David Gunn is really, really good.

Wil Wheaton talks about indicting Gene Rodenberry into the Science Fiction Hall of Fame.
Wow, was he convicted? 
I think "inducting" is the word you're looking for.
Also, Roddenberry has 2 R's.

I dunno, I like the idea of indicting people into the SF Hall of Fame even better. Later, when they induct me, I'm totally going to go around saying "indicting."
