RIP Lieutenant Junior Grade Singh.
RIP LT. Singh
You were taken from us to soon, my friend. While trying to find the source of problem in Engineering, you were killed by some weird electrical current running through the Enterprise. So they say.
Who was the last person to see Lt. Singh alive? That’s right, Wesley Crusher. Granted, this is strictly speculation but it is a little fishy to me. We learn in the episode that Wesley and Singh clearly didn’t like each other. Wesley, as usual sticks his nose into an internal investigation between sanctioned officers of the Enterprise. Singh tells Wesley to mind his own business and a few minutes ends up dead?
A little convenient to say the least. Of course, StarFleet will not investigate Lt. Singh’s murder further because Crusher is protected by the high ranking officers on the Enterprise. I will mourn my friend, even if his tragic murder by a spoiled brat will be whitewashed by the command of the Enterprise.
Lt. Commander Frantz. Out.
You guys are so hard on poor Wesley Crusher, when I was growing up, I always looked up to the poor bastard child. The real reason that Wesley Crusher knows everything about the Enterprise and can fix and do anything and everything, is because the Creator (Mr. Roddenberry) made him in his own likeness as you all know, but what you may not know, is that he really is the Creator re-incarnate, a Jesus figure if you will Space Dudes.
Also on a funny side topic, did you know that Wil Wheaton asked for a raise once during the show, and they actually told him that they couldn’t get him anymore money, but they would make him a Lt.Cmdr on the show instead, lol.
Haha, that’s a funny story…I wonder if they thought he might actually go for the promotion over a pay raise…
Re: Wesley being made in Roddenberry’s own likeness…when I was a kid I used to draw cartoons with me as the superhero who always saved the day, so I can understand the impulse. However, stories are more meaningful if the heroes earn the successes they gain, either through demonstrated work ethic or personal sacrifice. Wesley seemingly is able to solve any problem on the Enterprise just by reading or studying the situation for a few minutes, without much real development of how he can do this when not even Data can do it. That’s why I don’t like the character…
