Icheb vs. Wesley Crusher

[c0rnedfr0g]

Both characters were very intelligent young men serving aboard Federation starships with aspirations of joining Starfleet. Icheb joined VOY late in its run and was a recurring character. Wesley was an original main cast member for TNG, but eventually left the show about mid-way through its run. Anyway, you probably know the characters. So which of them did you enjoy more? And why?

 

[Terok Nor]

Wesley.

 

[Relayer1]

Icheb was less annoying, but it was nearly a draw. I don't really care for either.

Naomi Wildman. Subunit of Ensign Samantha Wildman.

 

[c0rnedfr0g]

Wesley.

It's hard to beat the rainbow stripe uni!

Wesley could be annoying but had some redeeming moments.

Icheb was so bland i forget he was in it unless someone mentions him.

I vote for Wesley but in both cases I think the actors could only do so much with what they were given.

 

[General Ryan]

Both pretty unremarkable but Icheb was at least a bit dark and broody unlike the ever chipper Wesley

 

[Tosk]

I voted other. I'll take Jake or Nog over either of them. Noh-Jay Consortium, yo!

 

[JonnyQuest037]

I've only seen Icheb in that one episode of VOY where he gives the report about Kirk's five-year mission to Janeway. (I stopped watching the show regularly long before he came along.) He struck me as a pretty annoying and redundant character. So Wesley by default.

 

[suarezguy]

They're both pretty good, I even think Icheb was a good late addition to the Voyager characters and dynamics, but I think Wesley still added more.

 

[EmoBorg]

I prefer Icheb. I liked him. He was more quiet but he knew his stuff. Wesley talked alot.

 

[Riker'sMailbox]

Wesley. But, the character of Wesley never irked em the way it does others.

Yes. At least Nog and Jake felt most realistic. Just a couple of good old boys never meaning no harm.

They weren't wunderkinds. They would mess up. They would struggle.
