[–] reddig33@lemmy.world 24 points 8 months ago (2 children) I actually liked Wesley. I am a nerd tho. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] stray@pawb.social 4 points 8 months ago I saw a clip the other day where Wesley refused orders on moral grounds and Picard was like "rawr authoritarian bs >:|", and it made me rethink my childhood impression of the series. I might like Wesley, and I might hate the Federation. I haven't gone back to watch it for fuller context though. permalink fedilink source parent [–] 1SimpleTailor@startrek.website 4 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) I've grown more fond of Wesley as I've grown older. He's only ever really "annoying" in season one, but the entire show was rough back them. I wish we had gotten more of Wesley post season 4, during TNG's peak years. permalink fedilink source parent
