    lol, everyone has such a hate boner for young mister Crusher. But at the time when it aired, I was a young kid and admired the super smart teen into science and tinkering with tech, oblivious to how poorly his character was written. It is a shame the show runners really treated Mr. Wheaton poorly.

      Honestly, I’d love to see at least a cameo of Captain Crusher maybe even a mini series. I didn’t always enjoy Wesley, but I did like him a lot for the same reasons and as a kid I was just as oblivious about his poorly written character.

      I’m in the same category I wasn’t a teen when it first started and younger. The teen character who was a genius on a show where pretty much all characters had strong science backgrounds was something awesome. Mean yes his episodes weren’t usually the best ones looking back but I really liked him at the time. Now it’s not quite the same but his character focus wouldn’t be what makes me skip an episode or anything.
