    I was 10 years old when TNG started, so Wesley was perfect for me. “A kid can be on the bridge of the Enterprise? A kid like me?”

    Also, Wil Wheaton is awesome. And a good actor.

      I like Wil but his actor skills are gone. His appearance in Picard was cringingly bad. Although I partly blame the director for allowing such a bad performance to go to print.

        I really liked him in Eureka. I don’t think his acting skills have gone all that far downhill since then. And I’m not sure what sort of performance you expected from a superbeing Wesley.

          Eureka was 18 years ago!

          I expected something like Wesley from the TNG episode, Journey’s End where he was fantastic. Instead it was like if you put Adam Savage on set and told him to geek out about being on Trek.
