(I am not a Wesley hater. Given that…)

Considering who actually DID get into Starfleet - Cadet Finnegan, Lt. Stiles, Reg Barclay, Ben Finney, Norman (apparently), Captain Ronald Tracy, Captain Garth of Izar, Captain Maxwell, Commodore Wesley, Admiral Kennely, Admiral Layton, Admiral Satie, Admiral Pressman, Admiral Dougherty, Admiral Jameson, Admiral Cartwright (gee there are a lot of admirals here!) and the annoying fuck Rondon (sounds like a “[Ron](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-ron-thread/475417)” all right!) with webbed fingers that was Wesley’s “test” at Starfleet Academy (that Wes passed, but Rondon needs more training in getting along with other species) , I’d rather have a crew of Wes Crushers. At least they get the job done and won’t sell out the Federation.

From what I’ve read, that’s not the only thing they jumped. 🙂

Did she throw things? Could the Jem Hadar recite Klingon love poetry?

I find test patterns more interesting.
