    You know what, I’m out. I’d be down for >!Gary Seven!< or even >!Dark Kes!< but >!Renegade Timelord Wesley Crusher!< is beyond my capacity for suspension of disbelief.

      Dude, you’re missing out then. I was dubious going in, but Time Lord Wesley was the absolute delight I didn’t know I needed. Wheaton’s performance was probably leagues better than in TNG.

        Yeah he was 17 at the start of Next Gen. He is 51 now. A lot of time to get better at acting.

    I wasn’t expecting Wesley, but I enjoyed how he was used this season. Considering he was able to fling the Enterprise to a different galaxy with his mind, I didn’t see anything in this season that bothered me regarding his “powers”.

      I haven’t seen the season yet, but the description here seems very in-line with what we saw in “Picard.”
