STTNG_WesleyCrusher_Promoted

Star Trek The Next Generation Captain Picard promotes Wesley Crusher from acting-ensign to full Ensign. I sometimes cry when I see this. Wish the right people would done/saw the same in me. (From ending of episode Menage La Troi)

[@BigNoseDog]

Wesley was told to put on a proper uniform. Meanwhile, the ship’s therapist who outranks him still dresses in a catsuit.

[@Koulnis]

She opted not to go full Starfleet-route until much later, in which she was tested on decision making in the Holodeck by Cmdr. Riker.

[@robertmorris8997]

Yes. She does. :)

[@rcslyman8929]

@@Koulnis Not entirely accurate. Captain Jellico demanded a certain sense of professionalism on his bridge. We can all thank that great man for getting Troi into a proper uniform befitting her rank and position.

[@oddish4352]

The theory was that a military officer in a uniform might be seen as intimidating. But Troi should have worn a uniform while on the bridge, since she was serving a non-counseling purpose.

[@aaronrichards2842]

there was an episode where she said she carries the rank of lutenant and in 1 episode captained the enterprise

[@Marinealver]

[@adamdemgar2798]

Peter Kalemkerides Harry never got promoted, till the last episode

[@danielhaire6677]

Actually, Wesley's promotion was well deserved and thought out. It was part of the ongoing character arc that the writers screwed up at the end. You are right about Kirk though - giving a barely graduated cadet command of a Constitution Class straight from the get go. After the first Abramsverse movie, give him a commendation and send him to a ship to actually start getting the real life experience as an officer. If I remember my original timeline Kirk correctly, this included cargo officer on the Republic, tactical officer on the Farragut, Second officer on the Constitution, 3 turns as first officer, and command of 2 other smaller starships before getting the Enterprise. The original Kirk learned his craft right and to quote Abramsverse Pike "respected the chair".

[@danielyeshe]

Daniel Haire Can you ask where you read about Kirk's other captencies? I had never heard that. Thanks.

[@danielhaire6677]

Daniel O'Donovan His career was referenced in multiple novels authorized by Paramount in the 1980's. Also, Kirk was tactical officer on Farragut when it encountered the gaseous lifeform that killed several crewmen (TOS referenced).

[@oddish4352]

One of my favorite tear jerk scenes of the series. This and when the little boy who lost his family is on board the Enterprise. He tells Picard he feels alone, and Picard assures him that "No One is alone on the Starship Enterprise." Also when Data saves that alien, whose planet is falling apart around her and he beams up with her and holds her hand.

[@quillproductions377]

People do not dislike him for what he did but rather what he was. Only so many occasions did he receive preferential treatment (allowed to visit bridge, become acting ensign etc). He was also unrealistically brilliant- why does he need to go to the academy when he can outsmart Geordi and even Data on a couple of occasions. Finally, now this is my opinion, when young people watch TNG, they want to see these heroic figures doing awesome things but when they see Wesley, they might relate to him and think, ‘Maybe I’m not one of the heroes but actually Wesley.’

[@eurekasfavoriteman]

according to some of you, Chakotay was not promoted to Full Commander, he was actually a Provisional Lieutenant Commander. If you looked closely at his Pin, it was 2 Stripes with a Black Stripe indicating Lieutenant Commander in the Provisional ranks. Cavit was also a Lieutenant Commander, i see it as Ships with 100-300 Crew have Lieutenant Commanders as XO and smaller Ships can have Commanders and Lieutenant Commanders Commanding such as Defiant when Worf was technically Commanding at times. Voyager was a smaller Ship so the ranks were more Crewmen/Petty Officers than actual Officers. on such smaller vessels Ensigns can run a Department and Harry Kim screwed up alot too during the show so he was passed up due to that. entire First Season has costume mistakes i head Cannonize as "something happened after end of Season 1 but before Season 2 that got Tom, Torres and Tuvok demoted" as they each had on pins indicating they were a rank higher than the rest of the seasons (Tom = Lieutenant but actually was Lieutenant Junior Grade, Torres = Full Lieutenant but actually was a Lieutenant Junior Grade, Tuvok = Lieutenant Commander but actually was a Lieutenant) as for wesley, i rather he didnt go with the traveler and come back during generations as a Lieutenant Junior Grade on the helm, maybe he would have been the dramatic bridge death instead of kirk (change kirk story to him just retiring nicely in 2293) and wesley trying to help picard.
