The fact that Wesley of all people is supposed to turn into this hunk will never not be hilarious.

Q was giving Wesley the body he wanted, not the one he would have.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 9 points 5 months ago

I doubt the body he wanted would have included a completely unrecognizable face.

[-] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

Have you seen Wesley?

[-] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 7 points 5 months ago

The humor of that idea only grew as more time went by after this episode.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

I realize they could not have possibly predicted what he would look like as an adult, but they couldn't have gotten it more wrong if they had tried.

[-] kellyaster@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

Agreed, it's so far off the mark that it's distracting. At least they cast someone older? Maybe they were in a rush and had no time, I know tv series filming can have crazy tight deadlines.

Has anyone done anything (serious or meme) about bad Trek casting decisions? I get the feeling Wesleyan Crasher would be at the top of the list.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

The problem with bad casting decisions is... was it the casting or was it the character. Okona? Rumplestiltskin? Singing space hippie? All played by actors who are fine in other things, but somehow just do not work in that role.

/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.
