Mmmm... Ensign Robin Lefler...

Good points well made. The trouble with Wesley was that he was created not primarily as an exploration of the child genius but as a cynical act of tokenism, hoping to give the show appeal to a younger audience. The boy genius bit was more of a plot device than a part of his character. After all, how could they justify his presence in the show if he wasn't allowed on the bridge?
