Is Wes supposed to be a prodigy?  I thought he was just supposed to be a dork and a puss.

Prodigy. Warp bubble manipulator.

They toned his derpiness/miracle child stuff down from the 3rd season onward, and the stories involving him become a lot better. I guess "Evolution" would have been the tipping point where for once his tech wizardry was not the solution but the cause of a major problem. And he was confronted with a guy who was like him and ended up rather pathetic single-minded researcher.

Originally, Gene wanted him as the focal character on the show. And a girl instead of a boy.

You're the one who makes it so and keeps things running shipshape, but your aversion to taking total responsibility in your professional life can sometimes lead you to be a shameless flirt. It's fine, though, because we all know you'll end up with Troi.

Ugh.  These Buzzfeed polls are like a plague on the internet.

This one isn't though. If only because it has revealed how many languishites are like the boy wonder. :)

I question the methodology.

I don't think you are supposed to take them seriously like you would Astrology. :mellow:

Astrology is serious business.

I was curious, and looked it up.

QuoteDuring the early development of the series, Robert Justman convinced Roddenberry to change the character into a female, with the name "Leslie Crusher". As Justman told him, "Geez, everybody has boy teenagers; let's do a girl. Let's explore the problems that female adolescents go through, you know, because that's never done." However, the character was later turned back into a boy, as in the original concept. (Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion), [1].
