I'd rather eat one my foots than choose between the two, a third option would be useful. What's you guys opinions on the posibility that Wesley was at least a Roddenberry self-insert? I read or heard that somewhere
Given that Roddenberry's full name was Eugene Wesley Roddenberry, I believe that story without reservation. From what I've heard, the guy never failed to grasp when the occasion allowed- didn't he write lyrics to the Star Trek theme (which were never used) just so he could get a cut of the royalties?
Once heard a comment, I forget from where, to the effect that "Gene Roddenberry did two great things for Star Trek: first, he created it, and second, he died." The idea being that once the money-grubbing sleaze had finally kicked the bucket, the people in charge of the property he created could spin this fairytale about Gene, the noble dreamer looking to a brighter tomorrow for everyone and all that horsehockey. Note how a lot of the best of Trek- like the Dominion War- was only possible after he'd shoved off.
The difference is, nobody's going to bother to create any self-serving fairy tales about Wil. Once the will is executed, nobody will think of him at all ever again.
