Oh Onion, you wanna be starting somethin'?

The Onion, how dare you put my boyfrie... I mean Wesley Crusher on your top 13 Memorably Unpopular Characters from Popular TV?!
You put him in a list with Scrappy Doo and Urkle? Go to hell!
Everyone knows that Alexander Rozhenko is when ST:TNG jumped the shark! Remember when future Alexander came to teach Alexander the value of his Klingon heritage just before his bar mitzvah... I mean ceremony of Ascension (or whatever).


Damned Lies... I mean Onion Article Excerpt:

Wesley Crusher, Star Trek: The Next Generation


Pretty much the epitome of the obnoxious precocious-kid character, Wesley Crusher stumbled into a prominent crew position early in Star Trek: The Next Generation, and then spent the next four years generally knowing more than anyone else about everything, and frequently saving the day at the last minute. By the time he left the show, he was well on his way toward godhood, having transcended time and space, at least according to the alien who ran off with him. Fortunately, the actor playing him somehow managed to ascend from universally butt of fan jokes to universally loved Internet presence and occasional A.V. Club contributor. Apparently even the worst characters sometimes get happy endings.
