He always looked like a dork.

Blame Beverly.

I have always wondered what was it about him that you guys did not like?

Despite seeing why others dislike the character, I never had any real problems with Wesley

He was kind of a Gary Stu for Gene Wesley Roddenberry. He would often save the ship using his genius intellect and was often unfairly criticized by other members of the Enterprise. He did this with little or no formal training and it felt unrealistic.

I would have to agree with this. He was just way too smart to be believable. Not only was he able to save the Enterprise when no one else could, many times he was able to do it because of some research or a project he just happened to be working on at the time or because he thought of doing something that every one else thought was a waste of time.

Slightly OT, but do any of you watch/listen to The Inglorious Treksperts show/podcast?

Don't know, I just found it when I was channel surfing.

It's on Youtube if you wanna see somebody grovel so badly to be written into a new series it's the Will Wheaton after episode podcast. Wheaton has his tongue so far up Kurtzmans ass Kurtzman speaks with two tongues
