This is unbelievably awesome.
Wil Wheaton reviews ST TNG episodes in detail. He provides his own bitter commentary and behind-the-scenes details.
Short snippit of one:
Personally, I hated the way they handled Wesley in this episode. He's already on his way to becoming a hated character, and the writers cranked it up to Warp 11. It was stupid of them to have Picard give him an adult responsibility, and then dismissively treat him like a child when he carried it out. It undermines both of the characters; how is the audience supposed to take either of them seriously? Maybe the idea was that Wesley would prove Picard wrong, with a big payoff at the end when Picard apologies or something and their relationship grows as a result. But all we get is one line in the cargo bay when Picard says, "Can you return to duty?" Really? That's it? How about, "Hey, can you kiss my ass, Captain? How does that work for you? I was right about everything, *****!"
And another:
"All the families head up into the saucer section, which will be commanded by Lt. Worf (who as a Klingon certainly won't want to shoot at every****ingthing he sees, and is therefore an excellent choice for the task of keeping them out of trouble)"
"It's right around this moment, according to historical data and polling research, that the Kill Wesley movement got its first member, though scholars are unable to agree upon who it was. It has been narrowed down to a single male virgin, approximately age 24, living in his parents' basement in the American Midwest.)"
