Wesley – his character just annoyed me from the start. I can’t honestly explain why that’s so but the way he was written, as a whiz-kid, really bugged me. Other examples are Dr. Z from “Galactica 1980” and the Starchild from “V” who grew at an accelerated rate (another plot device I despise) as young characters who were superior to adults. At least I can say that when Wesley’s character left the show he was more mature, but became that way through story development.
Getting back to Andromeda, let’s look at the character’s strengths. Harper has his innate ability to fix things. Tyr has his Nietzschean superiority (He’s Nietzschean, so there! Hah!). Trance has her psychic precog ability (and who knows what else). Rev Bem is nice to people [img]http://www.sadgeezer.com/ubb/smile.gif[/img] and has great faith. Beka is an excellent pilot. Rommie is the omniscient ship. Dylan has his discipline & his quest.
Harper’s character has a darker side which appeals to me in some way. Wesley was just a smart git.
