I think Roddenberry pretty much admitted as much about Wes. But I still like the character at least little bit. At the least, I wouldn't bash him. *snarls at Wheaton*
I mean, Wes was just a kid. Okay, a precocious one, but that's not unfathomable, especially in the rather utopian world of the future that Star Trek portrays. *shrug*
And yeah, lucky for that legacy (I only found out recently that the original series only has three seasons!). It didn't save Enterprise though. When they make good series like TNG and DS9, anything that comes after is kind of meh. That's all I thought of Enterprise when I tried to watch it. Meh.
