Remember Me

Loved it right up until the Traveller got involved. Seeing Wesley go all transparent and Traveller-y damn near killed the whole episode for me, but everything up to that was some wonderful and creepy stuff. When it was just Bev and the Captain left on the ship and she had the computer reciting his lifesigns, and the computer went silent...well, that was the only time TNG succeeded in actually scaring me.

Pretty much my thoughts, the episode went downhill when The Traveller showed up with his meta-creepy pedophille stalker act with Wes, and there's only so much "belief" I'm willing to suspend when it comes to Trek and the Traveler's "abilities" are just a bit beyond them as well as "Wes' destiny" or whatever.

Ugh, what a horrible plot arc Wes' journey was and the ending for his character. Oy!

:lol:

See I actually like this continuation of the storyline, worked well for me...

Good grief, since when has a mentor-student type relationship been automatically pedophilia?? How bizarre...The Traveler didnt come on board the E-D to find Wesley he found him by accident.
 
The episode is really good, and it seems as if Beverly can run really, really fast. She can go faster than 15 meters per second. That's over 33 MPH.

Since 1940.

Actually, the idea goes back at least as far as the time of Socrates when mentor philosophers typically had sex with their young boy students. That's ancient Greece for you, though.

I dunno. There was just something... "creepy" about the way The Traveler latched on to Wes and he just had a creepy "pedophille" way about him in his mannerism and tone of voice.
