Great entry! I didn’t hate Wesley, but I think we all feel like we could have been “something more” if we had been given one magical opportunity at just the right time, and we watch this kid get to be an astronaut with absolutely no credentials. I get it. Also, the fact that Wil reacted so venomously to a line directed at Wesley speaks to the genius of the writing. It spoke to generations of teens who grew up watching Kids Are People Too, and validated our feelings of never being taken seriously.
