Comments on: “Remember Me” http://soultrekker.net/remember-me/ My adventure with Star Trek Tue, 22 May 2012 06:49:09 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.1.2 By: Andreas http://soultrekker.net/remember-me/#comment-30 Andreas Fri, 15 Sep 2006 07:23:45 +0000 http://soultrekker.net/remember-me/#comment-30 Oh yes, that was fun to watch - especially the scene with the computer you mentioned. And it was interesting to see Beverly take charge of her situation, once there was no one else left. There is certainly more to her than just being the ship's doctor. She acted like a true Starfleet explorer here. Now what do you think of Wesley in this episode? Me, I thought his role in the end was a bit too important, compared to the Traveler. Maybe the writers didn't want to use the Traveler as too much of a deus-ex-machina, but the way the dialogue goes it looked like Wesley's "unlocked potential" was on par with the Traveler's powers. That's just substituting one deus-ex-machina for another. Just one or two lines about Wesley having a special connection to Beverly that the Traveler lacks (what with her being his mother, him feeling responsible, and all that) would have done the episode good. Thankfuly this was but a small part of an eminently enjoyable episode :), but I'm curious what you think about it.

Much as I was glad to see him go finally, plus my real deep interest in the Traveler's race, I hated that one. For some reason having Wesley not only save the entire crew on more than one occassion, be a full blown genius and all that PLUS, to top it all, have such unique powers makes me... bleeeaaahhh! I don't see how stressing his unique connection with his mother could really improve anything much here. I'd rather have the Traveler save her by himself. Nonetheless, it'd be a step in the right direction. :-D Well, I suppose this thing about Wesley was done in preparation for the episode when he’s leaving with the Traveler.
