It's amazing how good a person he is despite the shit people gave him over his role as Wesley Crusher. It's hard not to become bitter, not because of a mere fandom's petty jeering, but in the face of this very world. It can take the smallest slight to push someone beyond the edge. Many who walked a similar path embraced spite and wound up grifting for fascism. I'm grateful every time I see someone who hasn't fallen for the dubious "acclaim" of the dumbest, cruelest, filthiest, most inhumane scum on the planet.

    I always liked Wesley, the character encouraged me to experiment and try things.

    It was nice to see, except in Datalore which felt like it should have been his second ep, how he was respected for his intelligence and observations and elevated instead of being condescended to by adults threatened by his abilities
