I'm a HUGE trekkie, and I loved the character. Maybe it makes a difference that we didn't watch the show until it had been out for like 20 years, so we didn't take it so seriously. We'd pause it and make fun of how Troy would inexplicably get blocked when it was convenient to the plot, how everyone said "SensORS," Riker's affable intergalactic ladies man persona, and yes, even the peppy Wesley Crusher with his runaway science experiments and ability to disappear for months at a time without anyone questioning it.
I wonder if Wil would consider a cameo on one of the new series? I know he says he hated it, but wouldn't it be cathartic to kind of poke fun at that?
There's like 5 new series that I've heard of, and I seem to hear a lot about how they're revisiting old characters (although I haven't seen any. I'm old and have no idea where to find them or what order to watch them in.) But Wil is just as much a part of the nostalgia as the rest of them, and his behind the scenes story makes me so sad. That was a Grade-A show, the only character I didn't like was Q.
He does make a short cameo in one of the modern series'
OOOH now I REALLY need to figure out how to watch them! Do you know which one?
Minor spoilers, but his cameo is in ::: Picard season 2 :::
