#i joked earlier that they threw wesley in last season randomly so that ppl couldn’t claim they forgot abt him in this one

[coredrill]

actually tho all jokes aside. maybe this is just me as a wesley crusher apologist but like. this season doesn’t work for me without him at alllllllllllllll. like hey, old tng crew, while you’re all hand-wringing about CHILDREN and LEGACY and how you’re all BOUND TOGETHER does not one of you consider the kid you ALL had a hand in raising? the one who’s already had to grapple with getting the good and the bad from you all, and have ups and downs in his relationships with you all? is it truly only those you’re biologically related to who you live on through - even if you just met them a week ago? you all try so hard to balance ~starship family~ with ~real family~ and yet can’t be bothered to remember the kid who was BOTH?
