I don't understand the hatred towards Wesley Crusher. I realize that it was a little ridiculous sometimes to have the kid seemingly always solving the big problem, but Wil was so great as the character that I was never annoyed by him. He brought a level of maturity to the character that a lesser actor wouldn't have. There was so much potential for Wesley Crusher and future storylines, but instead, we have episodes where Data is playing Sherlock Holmes in the holodeck.
Wow. That's bullshit.
