Bits 'n' Bobs.

So I was just thinking about Wesley Crusher.

No, not like that.

But it’s interesting - surely I’m not the only one who went through this process:

  1. [As a young teen, watching TNG] I wanna be Wesley - living on a Star Ship, learning how it operates.
  2. [When he gets assigned to active duty] How awesome would that be?
  3. [When he leaves the Federation] Ungrateful lil shit.
  4. [Watching TNG again, as an Adult]: Christ alive Wesley is annoying.

Then you find out that Wil Wheaton is like the coolest dude on the internets [Sorry lawyer cat!] and it gets soo confusing.

I still say Wesley is a bit of a tool - though that’s due to how the character was written, and through no fault of WWs acting. I mean, as others have said - here’s a kid who fails the Academy entry exam, yet seems to come up with solutions that save Enterprise every other episode.
