@cootiespie You have to remember, there were entire families on the Enterprise, yet you do not see one single girl Wesley's age in any sort of relationship with him, they avoid him like the plague, we only see parts of him, how does he actually treat his female peers? Geeks like him are infamous for treating girls and women very poorly.
@cootiespie The only person Beverly protected Wesley from was Picard, otherwise he could do whatever he wanted, and he wasn't so young that he couldn't casually spend time with girls his age, he was way past the cootie years.
@cootiespie Actually, his father died when he was young, and Beverly brought him along, when TNG starts, it had been quite a few years after that, so he's not really a young boy, but an adolescent coming into his coming of age period, where boys get into girls and girls get into boys.
@NativePortlander1970 Lower Decks was amazing. I did hate it at first but it got better as it went on. I loved the crossover episode with Strange New Worlds as well.
@cootiespie I never watched SNW, so I'm not sure I knew which episode it was. Yeah, it seemed like another going nowhere show at first, then it picked up.
