The Human Factor from Strange New Worlds VI
Despite his Q & A scene, I agree that Madden would've made for some nice cannon fodder. A safe way to shake some things up, perhaps with an unconventional character, before he bit the dust in the Destiny trilogy.
You mean apart from "Hide and Q?"
And ours!

I agree with you completely on this, in terms of what's best for the canon and the character.
But as a sort of apocryphal story based on the Nemesis cutscene, I do enjoy the idea that evolving to a new plane of existence is apparently the 24th-century equivalent of a gap-year backpacking in Thailand.
I dunno. I never was on the "Wesley suxs" bandwagon--and in hindsight, I probably actually liked him on the series. I wouldn't have minded if he returned from his travels as a far more seasoned and matured person comfortable with who he is and his place in life. Having got a lot of things out of his system, he might have looked at returning back to Starfleet as coming home after years of traveling abroad, IMO.
I also wouldn't have minded if Madden had been Picard's XO in the post-Nemesis books as well. I always kind of imagined him as someone who made Picard look almost jolly in comparison...

Who says Wes actually returned to Starfleet? Titan has at least three non-Starfleet adult people on board. T'Pel, Bralik and White-Blue. Why not have a Traveler too?
Some might consider that he would be "slumming it" with mere mortals but who knows what is in the mind of a traveler.

The fact that he was wearing a Starfleet uniform in NEM is kind of a big clue to what they had in mind...
That was Star Trek: The Exhibition or, more accurately, whatever it was during its first stop before they retooled and renamed the traveling exhibit the first time (the original version supposedly more ambitious than what's been on the road the last couple of years). Wheaton reprised the role for some video footage, and they supposedly even had a model of the Titan on display.
I remember hearing about that, any clue where I might find more information? What did they change the name to?
That can be explained away in several ways, including KRAD's explanation. My point was simply that Wesley on Titan could have been accomplished had the editors wanted him on the ship, which would have been rather interesting.
It started out as Star Trek: The Tour and is now called Star Trek: The Exhibition. From what I read of the original attraction, what I saw in San Diego in July 2008 is a rather scaled-down version.

Actually it is the Exhibition now, but it used to be The Tour, as for information here's it's Memory Alpha page, and the latest update from Trek movie. My mom and went to the second version, with the Ent-D bridge and no Titan stuff, here in Phoenix and we both had a lot of fun. I'd definitely recommend checking it out if you get a chance.
Crikey!/\He must have pulled the same trick on me,I don't remember that at all.
Him being there that is....not that I had a relationship with him...um,..
He was only in the wedding scene in the final book where his mom (HIS MOM FOR CHRISSAKES!!) remarks on his nudity.
He was not in the rest of the series.
Thankfully.
This is too true. I actually think Worf in season 1 was much more painful to watch on screen than Wesley.
True, but by season two, everybody but Wesley stopped being annoying.
Of course it helped that we had Pulaski and that apperance by Luxana Troi. Between those three, there wasn't time for anybody else to be annoying.
...or that the whole movie takes place in an alternate universe...one that writers could feel free to ignore...just a thought...
