I remember when I read many quotations from Wil Wheaton during the '90s in which he expressed disgust with the Wesley Crusher character. He thought that he was an annoying wimp. Like Mark Hamill's newfound appreciation for his Luke Skywalker character, during the last couple of decades he has changed his tune and is proud of his work on the show-- and he should be proud of it.
But he probably hates this episode. I noticed that his acting is shaky throughout it. Like most of the people who watched this episode, he probably never bought into its script. Hence, we saw... THAT performance. Who WOULD appreciate this script? A previous reviewer, "SnydleyDownDeep," laid out all of its flaws well. It has too many forced plot devices and inconsistent character actions, and it's just clichéd.
I will award three stars to it just because I want to honor a cool guy who played a good role. Wesley Crusher made an appearance in only ONE "Next Generation" movie, which is as unforgivable as this sendoff episode.
