I think the poor guy really has had no choice but to become a witty 'poke fun at myself' type of writer, since a whole shiatload of people hate the poor guy because of his horribly written 'boy wonder' character in TNG.I personally never saw why people hated Wesley Crusher so much. When I was a kid I actually looked up to him and could somewhat relate (didn't really hang around kids my age, I tended to be more comfortable with adults).Now I look back, and while there are some things I find grating, the worst culprits are episodes in the first Season. Also even though it was somewhat fanboyish to have him become some type of ascended being with the Traveller, but at least it closed what started in 'Where no one has gone before' (His appearance in Nemesis while not explained, for sure could have some type of background, the way I see it, he probably kept contact with his Mom, and finding out about the wedding, materialized to offer his presense there as a good friend. This is for those that consider Nemesis Canon, which I don't, I just pretend the movie doesn't exist). Click to expand.
The first point I don't agree with. I really don't think he's hated at all for Wesley anymore, at least not by the more mature TNG fans, those of us at least as old as Wil himself.
Being within a year or two myself I think he's a hell of a guy - survived being a child actor with amazing centeredness, is an actor with what are probably under-rated chops, a good writer, and even manages to pull off being a family guy to boot. We all go through career changes.
I see a pretty wide-open future for a dude such as himself.Such as the 'Wesley Crusher sweater collection, this fall at Sears'. Some of which I think might have been Roddenberry's old sweaters from the early 70's.To the second point - I identified at times with him too, it's hard to believe I was just turning 13 when the show first aired. My friends and I are were all RPG gamers at the time all through the years of TNG. It was then that the Hate was real.
Of his character.Can you imagine if they'd killed off Wesley in one of the films? Certainly would have separated the Trek fans from the, umm, civilians. I think I would have cheered loudly. Click to expand.For reasons beknowest only to me, I once edited 'The Battle' for my own amusement (and gave it a Philip Glass score for the same reason).
I found it incredibly easy to delete all three Wesley scenes without interrupting the flow of the narrative at all, leaving him as just a guy on the bridge in long shot - comparable to his 'Nemesis' role. The episode, which I rather like, is a classic example of why Wesley is loathed, even more than 'Where No One Has Gone Before': He's got no relevance at all to the plot, he's got no damn job at all, so what can they make him do in the episode? Figure things out for the dumb adults.And these reviews are pretty funny stuff. They're your usual snarky riffing humour, but its value tenfold is increased by the fact he was actually an actor on the show. For example, it's one thing if a reviewer reads in a homoerotic/pedophiliac subtext in the Traveller's interest in Wesley.
And it's another thing altogether when Wil Wheaton does it himself!
