What if Wesley Crusher was killed during the late 3rd season of TNG?
WI Wesley killed during the 3rd season of TNG?
- Thread starter JamesSmith
- Start date
The show would have been 10 times more watchable?
But wasn't the character less irritating by then?
What would have been interesting is seeing how the crew, and especially Beverly would have reacted to it. It could have opened up a lot of possibilities to some really dynamic stroy telling. Also, it could have created a great Picard situation, if Wesley's death turned out to be similar to Jack Crusher's death, also under Picard's command.
Wesley almost *was* killed - in the alternate timeline of "Yesterday's Enterprise". I don't know if his death was ever filmed, but it was in the original script. (As was Data's.)
When I watched that episode, I don't think I remember seeing Wesley get killed. Data either. I could, however, be wrong.
Those scenes probably weren't filmed. Wesley was supposed to get electrocuted and Data's head blown clean off.
Yeah, I think that would be pretty memorable.
I never understood the level of hatred towards the character of W. Crusher.
Sure he was occasionally passed off as some wonderkid, but it was a lot more believable then Idiot-Genius Rom on DS9.... and there were some good episodes revolving around him (Crusher).... imo of course.

I agree. Although I think the character doesn't do a lot as far as progressing the show or being a catalyst for the storylines, I enjoy his character. He is 10x more likable than any teen character on tv or movies today, and his reactions are believable for a teen.
I always have arguments with ppl over this.
if joss whedon wrote tng it would've got cancelled. god he's overrated.
Really? I thought I heard somewhere on this site that Wesley was the one that was supposed to be decapitated.
I don't know of those scenes were filmed, but they were not in the final cut of the episode.
Um, no they're not, and THAT'S why we (those of us who were that same age at the time) didn't like him.
But I do agree with you that he was alot more likable than kid characters on TV today.
Adults too.
