The First Duty

It's a pretty good Wesley episode. I get how if you already like Wesley, this may feel like a betrayal, but I also see how it could get people who haven't liked Wesley on-side.

For whatever that's worth. I never realized Wesley was in two episodes in season five, zero in season six, and then another two in season seven. Not a bad average.

Does it matter what Picard did? I mean, after watching Star Trek: Picard, I'm not sure if anything Picard has ever done has mattered. But is the noodle incident that Boothby helped him with important? Ostensibly, it could have caused his expulsion from the academy. Wesley got a dude killed, covered it up, and still wasn't expelled. The more I think about it, the more I want to know what happened because there's things I'm willing to forgive and things I'm not and it sounds like whatever Picard did was borderline.

The Beige and The Bold is hosted on Anchor and is available on most podcasting platforms. New episodes go live on Sunday nights at 10:00 PM CST. Whenever I don't have to move to Louisiana, anyway.
