Synopsis: Wesley resigns, until Star Trek: Nemesis.

Memory Alpha Summary: Trail of tears

Review:  So…the Spaniards overtook the Pueblo, yet French-born Picard’s great-great whatever’s name was La Pierre and he fought with them?  That seems convenient for the plot.  And really, this whole talk about someone in your family line causing a stain on further generations is stupid with a capital S.  If we go back six-hundred years, everyone has an ancestor who was a prick.  Give it up.

Crusher’s run on Star Trek ends in a way that makes sense for his character, though it’s pretty hammed up.  The traveler finally gets to make his erotic dreams about Wesley come true.  His mother gets to tell him to dress warmly on other plains of existence (I’m glad I hadn’t just eaten when I typed that).  I’m glad for Wesley, as it seemed StarFleet wasn’t for him.  But his character, as written, never seemed all that “special.”  Just precocious and booksmart.

The only part I enjoyed was Admiral Nechayev getting a chance to finally look like a decent human being who has to be a hardass for her job, not just another insane admiral.

The Maquis concept was born from this episode as well, which helped out both DS9 and Voyager, so yay.
