  • Star Trek The Next Generation Captain Picard promotes Wesley Crusher from acting-ensign to full Ensign. I sometimes cry when I see this. Wish the right people would done/saw the same in me. (From ending of episode Menage La Troi)

      Actually, Wesley's promotion was well deserved and thought out. It was part of the ongoing character arc that the writers screwed up at the end.
      You are right about Kirk though - giving a barely graduated cadet command of a Constitution Class straight from the get go. After the first Abramsverse movie, give him a commendation and send him to a ship to actually start getting the real life experience as an officer. If I remember my original timeline Kirk correctly, this included cargo officer on the Republic, tactical officer on the Farragut, Second officer on the Constitution, 3 turns as first officer, and command of 2 other smaller starships before getting the Enterprise. The original Kirk learned his craft right and to quote Abramsverse Pike "respected the chair".

      @@aaronrichards2842 Probably an error. I think Troi was always a LT Commander, until S7 when she attained Commander rank. Given that he was third in command, Data probably should have been promoted to Commander as well. I mean, if Riker hadn't been so reluctant to accept his own ship, he'd have been first officer long ago.

    People watch the new Picard series and say "Picard Missed out on the experience of being a father" --- did you not watch The Next Generation????? The relationship between Picard and Wesley was father-son. Fans seem to forget that Picard looked after Wesley, taught him, nurtured him, was strict with him, and on some rare cases showed him respect and recognition. That is what a father does, he prepares you for the world, he doesnt coddle you. Despite all of his flaws, Picard always gave Wesley a chance and that was all he needed. I personally liked his character. Some hated him being whiny, but he is a teenager he looks at life through a different perspective than Starfleet guidelines. All the hate that Wil Wheaton got for his portrayal of Wesley is undeserved, I am glad that he turned out so well and avoided any scandals in life.

      @capnskiddies 5 лет назад +15

      That's what he meant by "all the commensurate responsibilities". If you make it back from an away mission as an ensign, you are immediately promoted to petty officer of the cannon fodder.

    I was so happy when I first watched this. It's a shame they messed up that character so much. I always wanted to go into space and explore and wanted to be Wesley Crusher. To be that young and have the chance to be a part of such a good crew of a starship that can go to so many places.

    People do not dislike him for what he did but rather what he was. Only so many occasions did he receive preferential treatment (allowed to visit bridge, become acting ensign etc). He was also unrealistically brilliant- why does he need to go to the academy when he can outsmart Geordi and even Data on a couple of occasions. Finally, now this is my opinion, when young people watch TNG, they want to see these heroic figures doing awesome things but when they see Wesley, they might relate to him and think, ‘Maybe I’m not one of the heroes but actually Wesley.’

    even though Picard wasn't Wesley's father, he still acted as a father. I also notice some differences with this scene of Wesley coming in with the red shirt uniform as newly promoted ensign compared to Jack in ST: PICARD, where he's pacing about in his uniform trying so hard not to spoil the surprise of the refit of the USS Titan into the USS Enterprise G.

    I had a ***MASSIVE*** crush (no pun intended) on Wesley! He was only a few years older than me, and originally, I thought I just liked him like the older brother I always wanted but never had. But as the show progressed, I started having thoughts about him like "Wow! He has really great hair!", or "Jeeze, he looks kind of built under that uniform!" And it was the day I noticed what a "cute butt" he had that I realized what I was **really** thinking about Wesley!

  • @eurekasfavoriteman
    @eurekasfavoriteman 6 лет назад +1

    according to some of you, Chakotay was not promoted to Full Commander, he was actually a Provisional Lieutenant Commander. If you looked closely at his Pin, it was 2 Stripes with a Black Stripe indicating Lieutenant Commander in the Provisional ranks. Cavit was also a Lieutenant Commander, i see it as Ships with 100-300 Crew have Lieutenant Commanders as XO and smaller Ships can have Commanders and Lieutenant Commanders Commanding such as Defiant when Worf was technically Commanding at times. Voyager was a smaller Ship so the ranks were more Crewmen/Petty Officers than actual Officers. on such smaller vessels Ensigns can run a Department and Harry Kim screwed up alot too during the show so he was passed up due to that.
    entire First Season has costume mistakes i head Cannonize as "something happened after end of Season 1 but before Season 2 that got Tom, Torres and Tuvok demoted" as they each had on pins indicating they were a rank higher than the rest of the seasons (Tom = Lieutenant but actually was Lieutenant Junior Grade, Torres = Full Lieutenant but actually was a Lieutenant Junior Grade, Tuvok = Lieutenant Commander but actually was a Lieutenant)
    as for wesley, i rather he didnt go with the traveler and come back during generations as a Lieutenant Junior Grade on the helm, maybe he would have been the dramatic bridge death instead of kirk (change kirk story to him just retiring nicely in 2293) and wesley trying to help picard.
