When I was a kid I liked Wesley Crusher

[rcrush]

Now when I watch old TNG episodes I fast forward through all the parts he's in. I just want to punch him now.

[Ptah]

1. Heidi brings home the coolest surprises!

[Call Me Wesley]

14. And all what Wesley Crusher had,

was a nylon pyiama! ;)

[GOPisEvil]

2. Will Wheaton is a pretty cool guy though.

Yes, I follow him on twitter...

[Frank Cannon]

18. He's a nice guy and politically liberal

His blog is also frequently hilarious.

[Liberal_in_LA]

22. It's not his fault his character saved the Enterprise 23 bazillion times.

[CreekDog]

3. Surprisingly, that's a sign of maturity

but it's not his fault. the writers were trying to hook a younger demographic who hardly watched the original Star Trek (like me), so they needed a whiz kid who would solve whatever problem they were having.

imagine what Picard thought of it. :rofl:

4. When I was a kid, I hated Wesley Crusher

That dorky kid getting to fly the Enterprise while this dorky kid had to sit and watch struck me as a baffling cosmic injustice.

Wil Wheaton is pretty cool, though. He's become a fine writer; his new book, Memories of the Future, contains hilarious recaps of TNG episodes along with candid reminiscences of whether he thought he did well or not within the context of a given episode.

5. When I was a kid...

...Wesley Crusher hadn't even of gotten bornded yet.

(I don't know why I said it like that. I'm feeling a little weird.)

[TommyO]

9. Of course he hadn't even of gotten bornded yet

According to startrek.com he won't be bornded for another 340 years.

[Iggo]

12. You make an EXcellent point, sir!

[Captain Hilts]

6. His character sometimes kept me from watching the show, though I appreciate your honesty. nt

[Robeson]

7. I hope you know you're going to piss off Call Me Wesley and Heidi...

...it's my understanding, CMW loves everything about Wesley, and considers him the most important figure in the Star Trek pantheon....:P

[rcrush]

8. I believe that person is actually Captain Sisko.

The Sisko is all powerful

[EndersDame]

10. The Sisko rocks!

My favorite star trek captain

[Robeson]

11. I love the Sisko.

[Call Me Wesley]

16. Heidi's no Trekkie.

But yes, the only episodes of ST:TNG I actually watched are the ones with the mighty Wesley Crusher in it; I really don't care for anything else. Seriesly! I mean, without him, the whole Star Trek Universe would have imploded, but he saved it, he saved you and me. And after he left the series, I was sooooo glad to see that they brought Alexander, Worf's son into it, filling the huge gap of ... annoyance high ten forward.

Too bad he wasn't a real hero and died saving others. After five seconds. Shut up, Wesley! ;)

I'm really glad Wil Wheaton turned out to be a great and fun guy after this. :P :hi:

[Lethe]

13. i liked him in Stand by Me, but in STNG he needs to punched in the balls

repeatedly.

[Fire Walk With Me]

15. Batten the hatches!

:hide:

[Deep13]

32. Shields up! nt

[tonekat]

17. I didn't have any strong feelings about the character, but

..I remember years ago, a website called something like "The Seven Deaths of Wesley Crusher" or something like that. I can only remember that one was:

Picard tells Worf to "mess the little creep up a bit". Made me laugh.

[EndersDame]

19. When I was a girl I thought he was totally cute My bro met Wil Wheaton and now hes hot!

Sorry for the teeny bopper in me (im 23 i still have an excuse) but seriously Wil Wheaton is teh sex

[iris27]

20. Aww...Wesley was my first TV crush...and Ro Laren my second.

Wil Wheaton is a sexist douche, though.

[EndersDame]

21. is he really?

[petronius]

23. I would have been far more into Ro if she hadn't taken off her jacket in the

first episode she was in and revealed those horrifically ugly star trek pants - I just couldn't look at her the same after that...

(Michelle Forbes is very cute, however.)

[rcrush]

24. I would like to know

Just how they made those one piece jumpsuits that can somehow create a jacket to take off. Must be some futuristic star trek fiber.

[petronius]

25. The future will be a truly magical place, won't it?

Personally, I'm looking forward to having tough, light little tablet computers to carry around, but then using a different tablet for every single file that I need to refer to. It'll be way more convenient than cramming all that data into just one computer...

[rcrush]

26. I like the communicators of the future

Sometimes you dont even need to tap your communicator you just yell into the air "MR WORF COME TO MY READY ROOM" and Worf just hears you! In the future you are GOD!


Also the future will be a place where the military cant decide on a uniform design for their officers to wear. At one point they will think pajamas are appropriate uniforms for deep space assignments.

[Hippo_Tron]

27. rcrush, I think you should be nicer to Hwil Hweaton

Also, did you hook up with Hwhoopi Goldberg on the set?

[rcrush]

28. Have you ever been with a 800+ year old woman?

She'll teach you some things.

[LynzM]

31. LOL...

Oh man...



:rofl:

[Orrex]

29. He was problematic for a basic reason of plot, too.

The Enterprise-D was the first Federation ship to have a Klingon crew-member, and in the bridge crew no less! Ditto the first android, and the first visor-enhanced blind person. I mean, how many ground-breaking "firsts" can you pack onto one bridge before it looks a bit conspicuous?

And then they throw Wesley--a magical warp-prodigy--into the mix, too? It gets to be a bit much...

[LynzM]

30. LOL, same here....

Also Eddie what's-his-name from Terminator 2.
