I don’t know much about Colin Ferguson, but many STTNG fans consider Wesley Crusher a “Mary Sue” (or the equivalent male name, if you must…. )
possibly a stand-in for Gene Roddenberry himself.
He’s too-good-to-be-true teenage genius, a prodigy who bests the adults at solving difficult problems way beyond his job description…
After being ignored as too young, or untrained, he too often heroically saves the day, yet remains modest.
It would kill Roy to lose to Wesley ….
and, of course, to his own wife.
Not that Roy is sexist .. but she’s … you know… a woman…
