Star Trek: 10 Reasons Wesley Crusher Needs His Own Spin-Off Series

By Star Trek: Prodigy's second season, Wesley was a wealth of information not just on the Prime timeline but on every side-project the cosmos was working on, including those no one in the present moment was supposed to know about. (*Cough* Mushroom Land *cough*) "Take your pick, I've been to all of them," Wesley told the kids. Good job Admiral Janeway wasn't in earshot!

If the Travellers can move between universes and space-time continuums they might be amongst the few who can without any ill-effects. Like Yor before her, ex-emperor Georgiou couldn't even pick up a glass of wine, let alone pummel Qo'noS into oblivion, when she hopped across universes and through time.

No deadly consequences means a whole host of possibilities for a Wesley spin-off. How about a visit to the 24th century of the Kelvin timeline (or the "Narada Incursion," as Wesley called it)? They do need a uniform update over there! Let's give Carl the day off and have Wesley and co. visit the 32nd century of the mirror universe, which by then had 'drifted' far from the Prime. Anyone else is banned from doing so anyway by the interdimensional part of a few "ironclad" time agreements.
