Jean Luc Picard Could Be Wesley Crusher's Father?
C&P Yahoo

Since the first episode of The Next Generation aired, there has been a rumor among fans that Jean Luc Picard, the captain of the Enterprise, and Wesley Crusher are father and son. The reason for this was because of the interest Captain Picard took in the wellbeing of Wesley, not to mention the mutual romantic feelings between Picard and Wesley's mother, Beverley Crusher.

Many subtle hints throughout the show suggest a deeper connection between them. While the writers never confirmed anything on-screen, they did admit that there had been conversations surrounding this idea early on in production. Whatever the truth, it's a fan theory that persists even today.

Wesley Crusher Only Left The Show Because The Actor Playing Him Quit!

Despite fans' less-than-favorable reception, the Next Generation creators had no intention of writing Wesley Crusher out of the show. In fact, Wil Wheaton, the actor who played Crusher, decided to leave because of his treatment by the show's producers rather than the fans.

In an interview many years after leaving, he revealed that he decided to leave mainly because it was restricting his ability to work on other projects. He was increasingly interested in working in feature films, but the producers wouldn't give him time off from the show. Wheaton felt he needed to hang up his Starfleet uniform and move on to benefit his career. Sadly, we'll never know the writers' long-term plans for him.

Two Different Actors Have Played Wesley Crusher

When we think of Wesley Crusher, we immediately associate the character with the actor Wil Wheaton, who played him throughout his run. However, in the season one episode "Hide and Q," Wesley is transformed into a 25-year-old man, this time played by actor William A Wallace.

This was the only time another actor donned the infamous ugly sweater of Wesley. Strangely, nobody seemed to mention that they looked nothing like each other or that he had different colored eyes and hair!

There Is An Evil Version Of Wesley Crusher In Star Trek Online

Star Trek Online is a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game that was launched. Players can create their own characters and explore the universe as starship captains. Since the original Star Trek series, writers have used the idea of a "mirror universe" as a plot device to explore an alternative timeline where the characters are evil versions of themselves. In this "dark" timeline, humanity took a different path to the one we know from the Star Trek universe, using force instead of diplomacy to take control of space.


In the Star Trek Online mirror universe, Wesley Crusher rules the empire. In an exciting twist, Emperor Crusher rules without mercy, destroying anyone who dares to oppose him. It was a stroke of creative genius by the creators to take the goody two shoes fans got to know in The Next Generation and turn him into an evil Emperor!

Long Live Wesley!

He was never my favorite character on the show.
I do, however, like Wheaton very much in "The Big Bang Theory"

If memory serves, Picard did not like Wesley and only tolerated him because he came with Beverly.

It would seem that in the 24th century a DNA test would take about 2 seconds, and that would be in Wesley's records.
