Season 2: Wesley's Scene

[Moviefan2k4]

I still haven't watched Season 2 yet, but I saw this listed on my YouTube feed. I never hated Wesley as a character, always thinking it was completely ridiculous when people accused him of being too smart, or always saving the ship (which was complete crap). Anyway, I loved this moment; Wil Wheaton played it brilliantly, and it was a great callback to various TNG episodes without having to be heavy-handed about the specifics.

It's been said before, but I still think he feels more like Wil than Wesley in the scene.

I've never watched the scene in isolation before. It really drives home how a strange man approaches Kore, and talks her into coming with him in less than three minutes with only vague hints of what he's even proposing.

Damn, season two...you stink.

As little sense as this scene made, it’s one of the few things I actually didn’t mind about season two. I guess I’m just a bigger Wesley fan than I realized. Seeing him back, even if only briefly and for a scene that stretches credulity to a breaking point, was just a nice, small and ultimately harmless moment. The dialog in this is super clunky and I guess that’s one of the reasons why Wheaton’s performance seems a bit off, but I thought it was nice to see a glimpse of what became of Wes. Also, this is like thirty years after we last saw him as a young adult — would almost be somewhat strange if he hadn’t changed into a different kind of guy.
