Both Wesley and his helmet hair are back for this one, but the storyline is great for the resolution of his arc on TNG and thanks to the clever tie-in of Native American culture and history.
It’s weird how abrupt this new Wesley is. I don’t like it. Also I don’t like the whole indigenous peoples storyline. Who owned the planet originally that they lived on? I was confused if it was cardassian or federation and that matters
I had my problems with the character of Wesley for a very long time, especially in the early parts of the show. With the years and upon watching the show repeatedly I accepted him for what he is and began to see the other side of being a prodigy and how difficult it must have be to always live up to everyone's expectations. He never became a favorite but I like how they ended his journey with this episode and picked up on a lot of things in his life. My only wish would have been to get a little bit more of an explanation as to why he is that special kind of human. Just because he understands things better seems a little bit trivial. Is he the next step in evolution ?
Of course this episode also establishes many important elements for the Trek universe so from many points of view this is an important one.
But I still don't like Nechayev.

Awesome episode. Wesley's new journey seemed weird in the beginning but the words of the Traveler about Wesley being something special now make sense, although I actually don't like THAT much fantastical storytelling – a bit is fine but leaving the time behind and rising up to a new meta-level is a bit too much for a quite realistic series like Star Trek, in my opinion at least.
