Any time a popular franchise like Star Trek or Star Wars has too many spin offs people always expect the worst because they compare it to what they enjoyed in the past when it was novel. They don't judge the new series on its own merits, only that it isn't X. I remember TNG having some really duff holodeck episodes but people don't remember those. Or Wesley Crusher.Totally agree.
OMG, TNG was bad, like really BAD for the first season, and part of the second. And it continued to have occasional outright bad episodes. I'm glad it survived those rough times to mature into the great show it became!
I was just thinking how I'm glad that Wil Wheaton is still so well liked. Sometimes playing a character that ends up being so hated can ruin an actor, and people start hating the actor. Wheaton seems like such a genuinely nerdy and interesting person. I'd totally be up to see him reprise Wesley as an adult!
