I think it was in the documentary Chaos On The Bridge where GR's original idea for this episode was discussed. Let's just say it wouldn't have made it to prime time tv. In fact, it sounded more like a Russ Meyer flick.

This episodes in one of Star Trek's ultimate cock tease dangling the prospect for us viewers that Wesley might be executed and not following through on it ,I'll bet if it had really happened a lt of early TNG viewers would have cheered and popped a bottle of champagne

I'm glad Wesley survived! There! I said it!

I must say I actually don't hate Wesley that much most of the earlier stuff is still cringe worthy at moments but ad the seasons progress he becomes less of a annoyance.

I like Wesley because he reminds me of me. I obviously wasn't a genius like he was, but I used to bullied a lot in school.

I am sorry to hear that,maybe it is some comfort that most of us are subjected to bullying in some sort of form and that it is of all times even today with a youth very aware of sensitive issues like race gender and sexuality it still exist and because of the interactive media probably even worse than it was before.
