Thank you, tjwparso, for uploading these episodes as a Christmas Day treat for us all.
I needed the distraction for a few hours, so thank you.
It's refreshing how it ends on a dark note. Picard's harsh dutiful sympathetic wisdom towards westley at the end is almost comforting.
A timeless message about integrity and truth.
The word that you are looking for is Fatherly.
@@erickborling1302One thing I'm curious about, I'm wondering if Picard told Beverly that he talked to Wesley?
Well, it has been theorized that once he turned 18, Wesley and Picard began an intense friendship, culminating in a passionate gay romance. Their preferred activity was holodeck mountain climbing, but in a gay way. They climbed many mountains, the peaks of Saturn, the Pillars of Titan, and of course, Mt. Brokeback, or Brokeback Mountain as it's sometimes referred as. Then once the peak had been ascended, they would both ascend to a level of extreme physical pleasure, as only the gayest of men can. They were truly gay for each other. I believe Rick Berman has confirmed all of this, as it was Roddenberry's final vision. There were plans to make a movie where Wesley died to space-aids he contracted while cheating on Jean-Luc with a brolian, but unfortunately Nemesis performed poorly at the box office, and the plans were shuttered.
@@hansolo631 that's super hot
Honestly, this was one of the best Wesley centered episodes of the series. Thanks for posting.
For once, he wasn't the hero who saved everyone.
till they turned him into.....i dont even know what LOL
I agree
This one and "The Game" are the only two good Wesley episodes, although Picard totally stole the show in this.
Doesn't he allways? 🖖
At least Locarno got a planet named after him, a habitable one at that.
I see Tom Paris is beginning his career with a great start!
Honestly, given the background they gave Paris, he might as well have been the same character.
@@danieldickson8591 That's what I was going for. Tom Paris is an excellent pilot with a checkered past and the character Robert McNeil played here is also an excellent pilot starting his checkered future.
@Daniel Dickson they were going to use Lacarno but they figured that what he did was so inconsolable that he would never be redeemed for what he did.
So they invented someone with a very similar backstory but with one that had a less serious crime, and thus Tom Paris was born.
@@Afterburner215 How is he irredeemable but Wesley redeems himself in this episode by ratting on his squad mates and the Bajoran Cadet has to die in a later mission to Cardassia? Everyone makes mistakes.
Locarno, as the lead, pushed the others into doing the maneuver. He has responsibility for the death.
Love that they had the flag in the background flying at half staff, in memory of the fallen cadet.
Nice pickup!
That's not the only thing flying at half-staff, if you get my drift
@@hansolo631You sick bastard! I like it. :)
Man, even in Picard’s sternness there is a love that is easily seen.
Captain Picard was like a second father to Wesley.
he would have blown their cover after that hearing. I dunno why they think they could have gotten away with it
“You knew what you had to do… I just made sure that you listened to yourself.” That line is 🔥 4:42
And exactly reflected what Boothby said earlier to Picard, about when Picard was in a similar situation.
This is such a great clip about enforcing ethics for young people. Mentorship is about lessons and ethical behavior is part of that. Those lessons are lifelong.
My headcanon: Wesley was already having doubts about Starfleet. That left him vulnerable to Locarno's manipulations. The hardships he faced after this incident exacerbated his doubts. This was the beginning of the end of Wesley's Starfleet path.
Since Will Wheaton was leaving anyway, this would have been a good episode for him to leave. Wes could have been expelled, or worse.
This was a good Wesley centered episode
*the only good
Agreed: possibly the only one. The make-out scent with Ashley Judd was pretty hot, though.
'You SHOULD be sorry.'
Words from Captain Picard--G.O.A.T.
It is the finding of this inquiry that all cadets are innocent of any wrongdoing, except Wesley Crusher who is hereby sentenced to death. Sentence to be carried out immediately. Cadet Wesley, do you have any last words? "I just want to sa-" "SHUT UP WESLEY!"
It’s crazy how voyager took this one off character and turned it into one of its main characters.
Nick lucrino was suppose to be on voyager but was switched to Tom Paris
@@chrispeplinski7306 Oh, you're right. I thought he was the same but it's just the same actor not character.
I wish they would have made the effort to maintain the continuity, and kept Nick Lacarno as the Voyager helmsman.
I like the theory that "Nick Locarno" was a fake name used by Tom Paris to go through the Academy so he wouldn't get any favoritism due to his admiral father.
Should have kept the name.
I feel like I’m living in the future, a member of Starfleet, and living on a spaceship. That is TNG‘s greatest achievement: to make me feel this reality is true. The acting is stunning and the production makes me feel like I’m in the room. My life has been enhanced because of it and I can’t thank the actors and producers enough for the legacy they have left.
I wish Wesley had stayed in Starfleet, learned from this mistake, and became a decent character/officer.
I think he would have been great starfleet officer
In a deleted scene in Nemesis he rejoined Starfleet
There is more to life than taking orders as a drone in StarFleet. This moment forged Wesley into an individual rather than a conformist.
Yes he would have no doubt, yet in a way he became so much more…
I've seen this episode easily 50 times and just now noticed the flag in the background is flying at half mast. Nice touch!
"Locarno" went on to spend 7 years in the Delta Quadrant. Wesley ended up doing podcasts and endless ST conventions (and some excellent cameos on The Big Bang Theory).
So Locarno got expelled.
We have a squadron of cadets who think they're so good, that they're revered by classmates and it resulted in the death of one cadet and expulsion of another.
But nah, that won't happen again, let's put the next group on a warship with a handful of senior officers, what could go wrong?
I saw that episode of DS9.
It's not just about the conflict between Wesley, Picard, and Locarno, it's a conflict between duty and friendship/camaraderie. Ethically, allowing a teammate to die in a reckless quest for glory and then talking the remaining teammates (including a good deal of manipulation) into keeping quiet was reprehensible, especially since he appeared quite confident in his ability to cheat the system. In a university or military academy today, such an act could even put the institution in serious legal jeopardy because what Locarno did was arguably criminal: namely, conspiracy and obstruction of justice (odd that Starfleet didn't have the latter charge available to them).
So why did Locarno beg Starfleet for mercy for his surviving teammates? You'd think a guy who tries to obstruct an inquiry like this and resorts to verbal bullying would leave his team out to dry, especially Wesley who blew their story wide open. The show never goes into _why_ Locarno did this, the dialogue from Picard was just to assure that Wesley remained in the Academy. A few possibilities come to mind:
1. He wanted the team and Wesley in particular to remember that Locarno did what Wesley did/would not: Take one for the team. He may go down for this, but he intended to salvage at least the loyalty part of his reputation, and possibly brand Wesley as the guy who betrayed Nic. Given Locarno's popularity with fellow cadets, this isn't outside the realm of possibility, and it's a plausible explanation for Wesley's final appearance in the show, and for Sito's anxiety in a later episode.
2. Despite concocting the scheme to try to avoid accountability/responsibility, he genuinely did not want his blunder to end his teammates' careers. The main problem I have with this is that this effectively means he doesn't care about the dead teammate or his father. If he truly cared about him and was in grief, he would likely be honor-bound to tell the full story to prevent another tragedy and really make amends with the father. Instead he was quite willing to deceive everyone about how he died; indeed, he lied and said, _Josh caused the collision that killed him._ That's a horrendous thing to say about a dead comrade, and even worse to lie to his loved ones, and it's probably the main thing the production crew called "unforgivable" about Locarno.
3. Locarno somehow had a change of heart (perhaps Picard had a chat with him?). This could be the result of a severe disorder or a crushing realization that he did something phenomenally bad and he needs to rectify it ASAP. I'm not sure about the latter. Again, if Josh's death didn't move him to do the right thing in the first place, if the breaking point is losing _his_ career, I don't know if he would have the emotional maturity to think about his teammates.
4. The writers wanted to do a Wesley episode again and didn't want to anger the fans too much by ending his career completely; in particular they wanted Wesley's story in this episode to mirror what Picard went through and Boothby giving him a swift kick in the pants.
it's tricky to really look deeply at motivations. I think Locarno knew the gig was up then and there and there was no point pushing the narrative further. He knew all along it was primarily his fault and he desperately sought to soften the blow. But it doesn't mean that he would necessarily avoid responsibility if all was brought to light (though required Wesley to spill the beans here).
There is also something in US law called "Depraved Heart" or "Depraved Indifference Murder" which they not just committed to the very letter of the law but purjered themselves to cover up. Locarno really should have been in prison.
I think the first possibility makes the most sense
It also fits with Robert Duncan McNeil's opinion on Locarno: That he was rotten to the core.
Oh and if you haven't already, I recommend checking out "Lower Decks" season 4 to find out what happened to Locarno afterwards.
There's even a flashback scene of Locarno manipulating his teammates into performing the Koolvordt Starburst with Bob McNeil, Wil Wheaton and Shannon Fill reprising their roles.
How about this theory, what if he did it to become a martyr? Self sacrificing himself in order to look good. Here is Locarno willing to take the blame, as popular as he was and his charisma, I don't think it is too far fetched. Yes some cadets might view him in a negative light, but he might look like a hero to others. The 3 remaining cadets will be looked down on, especially Crusher as traders and disloyal.
@@vintvarner16 And Sito did state that she didn't have any friends after the accident.
On the one bean, Wesley feels intense loyalty to his friends, but on the other bean, he is honor bound to tell the truth.
Man! - What happened to you? You were gone for a long time ! Thank you for putting up these new episodes !😃
Yea really, I missed reading the meme-level bean comments in every new video.
Too many beans to eat.
The finishing scene between Picard and Wesley set nearly impossibly high expectations on how to deal with failure.
What do you mean by this? i.e. what was the 'expectation set on how to deal with failure'?
What expectations? Picard told Wesley he got held back a year and he’ll have a crappy reputation and no friends. Not allowed to fly. Have to retake his senior year like it didn’t count. And start off his career with a reprimand on his file. But he did the right thing and told the truth. Picard started Wesley had it in him, he just needed to be reminded.
Always thought Wesley was going to end up as Picard's son.
What are you talking about? Are you suggesting that peaceably accepting consequences is an "impossibly high expectation" after failure? May that never be the case for any of us.
One of the most inspired episodes of ST:TNG.
And that was basically the end of Wesley's Starfleet career, I guess Picard finally had his revenge after all, for all the times Wesley had annoyed him, by not making him shut up.
In the end Wesley left the Academy of his own volition, not because of his circumstances or performance, but because he realized it wasn't what he really wanted.
so if wesley didnt admit what happened....he would be bannned off the enterprise XD
@@randomrazr Nah..he'll still be on the Enterprise due to his mom's influence...but there will definitely be more "SHUT UP WESLEY" going around LOL
@@danieldickson8591I think the point is it's safe to think if Gene Wesley Rodenberry had been in charge Wesley would have had a Horatio Hornblower career where we saw it documented from start to finish. I can't imagine he would want his self inspired Mozart doing deadly frat boy shenanigans and then have his dream career fizzle out.
I love how he waited until the case was closed before he fessed up
YT
So, Nicholas Locarno lost 20% or 1/5th of his team as squad leader due to reckless and dangerous action. He then got expelled.
Then he went on to Voyager as Tom Paris as their helmsman with a ship's complement of 141 (then 153) people.
What could go wrong?
What a great start.
Locarno & Paris are canonically 2 separate characters.
So...
Over the last few years I have been consuming an amount of Star Trek content on RUclips, my main source being this channel.
The one question that keeps coming up in my mind comes not from the video's themselves, but from the comments section:
why does everyone seem to such an indisputably deep hatred for Wesley?
Why does everyone want him to be silent?
I'd expect him to be the one character people would have identified with when they watched the show in their young days.
I don’t think they really do…I think even back then hating Wesley was more of a meme than a genuine feeling.
@@ericdavis3046
I see, thank you for the explanation.
his character is annoying and will wheaton is a disgusting shill for anything as long as he gets his 5 minutes in the spotlight
Wil Wheaton is a d-bag.
And so was Wesley.
Ruined 3 cadets' careers and then left anyway a little while later.

great clip tjw
Everyone makes mistakes. Life would be boring without them - it's how we learn and develop wisdom and morality. Life is about how you reconcile those mistakes that reflect who you are - not for us, but for yourself. On of ST's best episodes.
TBH, I think it's really important for young people to get in trouble like this. I used to lie and steal when I was younger. It took me getting caught and the fear of god being struck into me to get me to change. Now, I see the benefit of honesty, the stress free life of being trustworthy to others. It doesn't eat me up inside and I can sleep at night. I'm just glad it happened when I was 12 and not when I was 22.
it happened to me when i was like 26, im now 28. regarding something at my old job. i made a hugeeeee mistake, though nobody died. basically i broke a rule i wasnt supposed to. it was like the star fleet inquiry: few weeks of being afraid people would find out. stress at work all the time. then having an investigation, outright lied on the first inquiry and had it nearly closed forever and finally at the end, told the truth. it really ended my career in that field. now i too see that being honest is much better, if not only to stay true to one self. the captain/boss at the work told me to just learn from your mistakes going forward and the truth always comes out, then i was dismissed.
i hope i'll be able to continue to change and tell the truth, its been 2 years and i think about this often still. there were reasons why i broke the rule but i worry that maybe despite it all, im just not "starfleet" material, if you'll humor the expression
Wesley gets a bad rap, but the episodes centered on him were usually pretty good. It was when he got shoved into someone else's spotlight that he started looking obnoxious
They got his name wrong. He's PARIS.
I did like Wesley here. Felt identified with him except he was responsible for the death of his friend, and I don't.
Same actor, different characters haha. Back then Tom Paris didn't exist yet
@@captainbroady I know
It's just that in the tng episode, that character wasn't too likable, and in voyager 😳 and he was in prison..
But he's not the same guy, back in the day I thought it would have been interesting if done correctly to redeem that character, Paris wasn't that far away from the bad cadet. 🤔
Anyways, thanks for the talk 🤝
Wait, Patrick does the Rimmer salute? Amazing

Nice touch with the flag half mast at the end.
They withheld and then surprise-revealed the probe footage. I could imagine they do have conclusive evidence but want to test them by giving them a choice, and if they fail, they will have other means to direct their career accordingly, so to speak.
Besides, they still blundered in some way, that is beyond doubt, so their record is tarnished already, which would make further actions in that direction justifiable easily.
4:26 Time to take martial arts classes at the academy, Wesley. 😏
These stories create such a yearning to have decent people to rely on, who appreciate decency, instead of the normalized conspiracy of weakness.
It was a version of airing dirty laundry in public. There is an external view of military organizations, and it is essential that it be maintained. Do what they did, and the smartest thing to do is accomplish a career change ASAP- because something like this will follow a person throughout their career in the military, at the very least resulting in an early plateau in advancement in rank, and assignments nobody else wants.
None of those cadets deserved to continue their star fleet careers. They were all ready to lie, onliy Wesley had the decency to speak up.
Good to see the Voyager cast member making an appearance.
Sito later said it was very difficult the following year as no-one would fly with her and she had to do her exams with the instructor. Wonder if they ever went to see Josh’s parents?
“You knew what you had to do. I just made sure that you listened to yourself.” That’s what I wish my dad had told me one time, before I started back on pursuing my high school equivalency.
At least Weslie had some honor at the end.
Ok, I wasn’t crazy in thinking you did a hiatus, I thought the algorithm swallowed you.
I'm seeing a lot of comments about how Locarno allegedly takes responsibility. I'm not seeing anything of the kind actually happen.
Wesley testifies and the lie is exposed and Locarno is unfazed like nothing shocking and scandalous has just come out.
I always wondered why Wesley ended up playing
The Mystic Warlords of Ka'a" on the Big Bang Theory.
Now I know......
Even though Wesley deserves every bit of the consequences he got here... deep down, probably as a footnote to the whole record of this incident and inquiry, he deserves a commendation from Starfleet for saving them from even having a chance that someone as rotten an apple as Nick Locarno could become a senior officer. Such a person could have caused much more damage than just causing one cadet to be lost.
That can't be San Fran in the future. There's no one pooping on the sidewalk.
The sidewalk poopers all got killed during World War 3.
I can just imagine Picard pulling dirty needles out of the soles of his shoes. "Goddamnit. Junkies all over the place."
Sato ends up being the one killed off in that incident in Cardassia.
Exquisite storytelling. Will we ever attain such cultural heights again?
It'd be interesting to see an alternative timeline in what would've happened if Wesley didn't stand up and kept his mouth shut, or if Nova squadron actually did pull off the forbidden maneuver.
Wes would have probably ended up being a lackey for Section 31
"You will have difficult times ahead" That's right, snitches get stitches 😛
The other cadets will throw him a blanket party.
They have at least two races in the Federation that are telepathic.
There is technology today that can scan the brain and determine truth.
There's truth syrum and sleep deprivation.
Enhanced interrogation techniques.
The Klingon mind sifter.
Honestly some of that should be standard for the Academy.
And experienced officers alike.
Hearing Captain Picard sum it up for him, for some reason, made me feel very at ease.
Sir Patrick looks EXHAUSTED 🥱
Wesley did the right thing and I know Picard and Beverly is proud of him.
Plot Hole: If the "starburst" move is illegal. They would have been in trouble for performing it.
Wesley should have gotten 6 months in a penal colony, expulsion from the academy, as well as from Star Fleet. Same for Tom Paris; but he should have gotten 10 years.
My only minor complaint about this absolutely fantastic episode is Patrick Stewart’s somewhat wooden delivery in this final scene. Wil Wheaton is outstanding from start to finish. Bravo!!
His face yes. But you hear the empathy in his voice for what happened with Wesley
All the external scenes in this episode were ADR'd. I'm guessing he was having an off day when he dubbed it in the studio.
PatStew was fine... but Wesley should sound more guilt-ridden and remorseful. However, Wheaton can't pull it off.
I don't think there's anything "wooden" about Sir Patrick Stewart's performance as Jean-Luc.
Have to agree, not exactly the best scenes that Stewart is normally capable of.
This was a great episode, I just wish the end of the episode was changed slightly. The problem is that Wesley only comes forward because Captain Picard said he was going to tell the inquiry about the maneuver. It takes the focus away from Wesley wrestling with conscious and makes the decision more practical because Wesley was trying to get ahead of the truth that was going to come out. Here's what I would have done with the ending:
-Picard tells Wesley he knows about the maneuver, but he tells Wesley that since he has no proof, he's not going to tell the council. But Picard will lose respect for Wesley because basically he knows he's lying by omission.
-Wesley confronts Nick, but Nick tells him to just let the final inquiry hearing take place since the council has no proof. Wesley reluctantly agrees conceding that they already gave their testimony and that the inquiry is pretty much concluded.
-THEN the scene where Joshua's father visits Wesley takes place. The end of the conversation plays out where Joshua's father returns his son's sweater and apologizes for Joshua letting the team down. The father leaves and, as Wesley is holding the sweater, he remembers what Picard said.
-Wesley THEN makes the decision to tell the truth at the final inquiry hearing.
Just a few small changes that would have made the decision more about Wesley showing his strong moral character instead of just avoiding the proverbial sword that Picard was going to drop. Either way, a great JAG-centred episode.
He changed his mind after it became apparent Locarno only was out for himself and his reputation as leader
Licarno got Shamed so much he changed his name back to Tom Paris.
Locarno got expelled and then got on board Voyager.
What a great start.
I don't see it
Tom wasn't lying
He was loyal to the team
He got a member of that team killed and then threw his dead team mate under the bus. Locarno is a narcissist that only did the right thing when he had no other choice. Had he not gotten Josh killed, he'd have gotten others under his command killed in another foolhardy pursuit of personal glory, and he'd have tried to throw them under the bus as well.
@@brianhenry152 he still protecting the rest, that part wasn't required
He wanted the team to ride together, once Nick failed he sacrificed him for the rest, there was nothing left to do for him
Those same situations would happen in actual command
Id he were truly selfish he would've let the rest suffer the same as he did
It's not perfect, but he did still protect them
@@BlackChapters Sorry, but I'm not buying that. He wasn't "protecting" what was left of his team, he was finally owning up and facing the consequences of his actions, which is what he should have done from the start. He shouldn't be looked at admirably for doing the bare minimum after lying and trying to cover it up. Had it not been for him, his team mates would all be alive with promising careers ahead of them.
The whole team agreed, clearly he outright buried Nick once he died but he still tried to protect who was left, keeping in mind that these are kids.
Of course it wasn't smart, but he was clearly still protecting the last 4, even when Wes tried to tell, he told him to just leave as that was the likely punishment anyway. But Nick still managed to reduce their punishment by standing up for them even after Wes told.
If he truly didn't care about them, he would've attempted to bury Wes before he told and never did.
Again, not perfect, but he did indeed stick to protecting who he could.@@brianhenry152
Locarno was described by RDN as a bad guy who pretends to be good. He also has a massive ego & a sense that he's always right. Tom Paris did some bad things but was good inside & redeemed himself. Nick tried to "make a better Starfleet than you guys" & got himself killed due to his incompetence & arrogance(and buying a budget genesis device from a Ferengi, don't forget that).
Again, TNG hitting its stride. Great writing for the time. I wish there was more raw emotional talk like this in more productions today. (Yeah, I know. "OK 'Boomer' ", even though I wasn't born in the early 1940s. 🤪)
nor were any boomers.
3:22 I'd liked think Picard walked up to Wesley and said my main man this is all bs you're gonna be way more than human soon
Wow a young Tom Paris, or at least the actor if not the character.
I know Wesley’s not exactly a fan favorite but this was one of his better episodes. He realizes what he’s done wrong and owns up to it, but he doesn’t get off easy.
It’s sad how Locarno turned out after this. He became such a jerk.
“We thought we could do it.. We thought we could do anything.. we were wrong.” A shame Red Squad cadets didn’t attend this inquiry.
Then Nick Locarno shamefully left Starfleet, changed his name to Tom Paris, joined the Maquis, and then flew Voyager home from the Delta Quadrant.
And let's not forget the cool DELTA FLYER.
Well what do you know the guy who was sitting next to Wesley does look like Tom Paris!
Same actor. Originally was supposed to be the same character too.😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬
Boothby said the same thing to Picard at the start.
I wonder what Picard's problem was...?
Tom Paris it's no ma'am
It's fortunate that they both had things to do in opposite directions at the end there. It would have been so awkward if, after that final moment, they both walked off on the same sidewalk.
Hand in hand. Because they're friendly like that in the future.
The Starfleet Examiner actor bears a resemblance to the Vulcan Ruler is Spock's Mating Episode (Tapau?) Could they be the same actress?
It was actually the voice that I noticed first.
Similar voice, different actress.
Plot twist:
Nick Locarno was, in fact, Tom Paris, attending the Academy under an assumed name so as not to draw attention to himself.
And now you know why Tom Paris was in prison when Janeway found him.
Locarno and Paris are two different people
The original plan was for the actor to reprise his role as Locarno in Voyager, but they later rewrote it so that he played a totally new character.
It's too bad Wil Wheaton only had a cameo in Picard as Wesley the Traveler. I would've loved to have seen a reunion between him and Picard Also according to fandom after being expelled Nick Locarno became a privateer and was captured and assimilated by The Borg. Had they brought him onto Picard I could totally see Nicks character as being a Borg that was cured and became human again thanks to Hugh. My guess also is that Nick would've been a mercenary like Seven or Nine. Of course they'd need to get a different actor to play his character but it still would've been cool.
Or they could… I dunno, bring him back and use the _same_ actor. Maybe some place it wouldn’t be so noticeable, like a cartoon in its fourth season!
That's really why tom went to jail lol
She called him Mr. Lacarno, but that is Tom Parris of Voyager.
I don't see it
Then Wesley became the next traveler.
Odd that Wesley's mother is nowhere to be seen in this scene.
Ohh ohh lt Paris

They expelled the squadron leader even though he took full responsibility for everything?! I mean yeah, he needed a harsh punishment, but they permanently threw an excellent officer out...

Everyone wants to exonerate Wesley for finally stepping up with the truth. But in reality, either he should have done it from the start or shut up. "no one likes a tattletale" is something we all know, or in harder terms "snitches get stitches". He was a weak man by the time he admitted his wrongdoing.
Golden Gate Bridge is still there....?
A better end to wesley than that God awful 7th season episode.
It would have been much more interesting if they kept this Tom's character the same person.
Its ma'am
A lot of "we" in his confession, no "I" really shifted blame there
Well, maybe that's because they were a team, and as a result, they were all complicit in what happened, so it really is a "we" and not an "I" confession.
@@zoe-janesutherland4359 But he could just take responsibility for his own actions without explicitly speaking for the team. The rest speaks for itself
So was he kicked out or what? I don't remember this episode. He lied in court. That's .. dishonorable discharge right there, and probably prison time.
He continued for a time at the Academy, but resigned in another episode over actions taken by Star Fleet over a group of Native American colonists, and the realization that a fleet career was what others wanted for him, but not what he wanted.
