Star Trek: The Next Generation.

It suddenly occurred to me that I have never watched a full episode of anything before Voyager. Therefore, with TNG being the highest rated Star Trek series on IMDB, I decided to watch it from the beginning.

My first impression was that the creator and writers of the show were very forward thinking for time period of 1987.

So, here I am, twelve episodes in, and I am thinking to myself, Okay, so when does Wesley start being annoying?

Why have I asked myself that?

I think I recall it having been stated that Wesley was an annoying character on the show.

To the contrary, Wesley, despite being a teenager, is the only one who sees what the adults consistently miss. It reminds me of why I write teenage characters.

One of the USENET groups back in the day was alt.ensign.wesley.die.die.die.die.die.die.die.die.die.die.die.die.

I had no idea who they were talking about.

Maybe Wesley is not irritating to gay people, just like Justin Bieber isn't.



But seriously I didn't pay much attention to Wesley, but his character had a really dumb ending in the show.

He was the McGuffin, the Oracle, the supercomputer that said "42".

I liked this series. It was one I watched back when I watched TV a lot more. I don't recall Wesley being annoying, and as far as seeing what the adults "missed", it's in the script.

Somewhere around the Pentarus 5 mission I would think, where he saved picard, then went on to ....yadayada... no one cared.

Every show needs a JarJar Binks....

Wesley will never be the most hated for me simply by proxy of Q existing.

I read the thread title as ‘So, I’m watching Sting’ and wondered why there was no music video.

I liked Wesley Crusher and I'm not gay. I mean I like him as a character, I don't like him like him.

I will say that the warp bubble episode will go down as the dumbest episode I've ever watched! But that isn't Wesley's fault.

I like the actor's show, "Tabletop" also.
