The prodigal son returns!
Star Trek: The Next Generation Season Two Blooper Reel
In the colorful universe of Star Trek, Wil Wheaton's Wesley Crusher is a god. Created in the image of franchise creator Gene Wesley Roddenberry, the character was gifted with the foresight to influence all of spacetime himself while upholding the values that make a person worthy of being considered a guardian of the multiverse.
Simply put, Star Trek has molded the one-time prodigy Wesley Crusher into the most powerful being known to man in the history of the universe, surpassed only by the space god "Q". And that has caused some serious damage to a faction of the older fans who feel an emotional ownership over the franchise since its conception in 1966.
Not all of us must be as petty as Sheldon Cooper in his rivalry with Wil Wheaton. For some of us, it's as simple as pointing out that the wide-eyed prodigy from Star Trek: The Next Generation doesn't deserve the credit of being such a powerful, revered guardian of the mythology of the universe.
