Film & TV / Re: Wesley Crusher?
« on: Today at 09:19:21 AM »For me and and the reason I didn’t take to “Wesley” as a character was the perception that it was jobs for the boys. Yes he was smarter than your average bear but just because his mum was the ships Doctor shouldn’t have allowed that kind of access to the Captain/ bridge regulations and all that.It was the Traveller who convinced Picard that Wesley should be treated differently.
It's fair to say that viewer dislike of Wesley translated unfairly to Wheaton and he's lived with it ever since. Considering how badly he was apparently treated on set and the mess that his home life was, I'm amazed he isn't a complete write-off.
