While Wes is a little annoying, I actually liked him and thought his character matured well. I know if I got put on screen at 15, I would’ve been annoying too.
If Wil Wheaton was never in TNG for the youth appeal, my mom might have never watched The Next Generation as a tween/teen, and by proxy, I may have never watched watched it. Also, he was really fun in Star Trek: Prodigy.
I’ve really never understood all the Wesley hate. Most of the “annoying” scenes he was in were annoying because of how the adults treated him, not how he was acting.
Maybe having multiple people (one being his own mother) yell at a kid to “shut up” when he’s trying to warn them about danger isn’t the best way to cultivate a well adjusted personality. Despite being variously ignored, gaslit, and verbally abused by adults in season 1, he turns out to be a decent guy anyway.
A lot of it stemmed from poor writing where the flagship of the Federation, staffed by the best and brightest Starfleet has to offer, routinely needed the help of a 15 yr old
Because he was even brighter. How do you not understand that?
Agreed
Killed? Please, we call those “away missions”.
Fun fact: The United Federation of Planets doesn’t practise capital punishment.
It does, however, hand out mandatory red (or yellow in later series) shirts to certain people.
thats how they maintain population control.
beverly prefers poltergeists and apparitions.
Only to get knocked up by Picard anyway
Did she?
Yeah in ST:Picard we find out mirror universe Jean Luc goes warp 10 with transporter duplicate Beverly and they have a lobster baby. Although I may not be recalling that accurately.
she has a type, but its usually non-coporeal entitites.
