Wesley's Daddy Issues

As you know, Wesley Crusher was the most hated character on the show. Captain Picard in one episode kept calling him "the boy" and so did many others to the point he sounded more like the ship's mascot. Some people believe he might have been Captain Picard's illegitimate love child.
However today I was watching Netflix when I came up with rather interesting theory. Maybe he was Commander Riker's love child. What's that you say Blargskull? That can't be possible.
First I took note that while Captain Picard was stuck in sexual neutral, Will Riker attacked anything in a dress. In fact, Riker even had a relationship with a non-gender alien. So I got to thinking about the fact that Will could have slipped back through time to do the nasty with Doc Crusher. But that is over thinking it. A better theory is that 9 months prior to Wesley's birth, young Will Riker hooks up with a red headed cougar in a bar for a one night stand. Both under the influence of Romulan ale they never remember much from that night.
What you need more? Well as I said, I was watching Netflix and saw actor on "Eureka" playing a doctor in full beard and thought wow he looks more like Riker than Picard.
Here is a picture of him. You decide.

That is an.... interesting.... idea there... But explains why Willy there is looking more and more like Jonathan Frakes. :P
(Something they both have acknowledged on at least one occasion!)
Second, I have long wanted to see MIRROR Wesley.
Because Wil Wheaton has acting chops.
And because Mirror Wesley would have to be, basically, Hamlet.
Hamlet loves art. Mirror Wesley would probably be more into art than science.
Hamlet's Uncle kills his father and marries his mother.
The shadow version of Picard would almost certainly kill Jack Crusher and take Beverly as his Captain's Woman. Most of the soft canon supports this (along with the idea that the Terran Empire's final collapse was in Picard's youth) although the various sources differ on how sympathetic Jean-Luc is versus Jack.
I DID enjoy the fairly recent comic take on Mirror Picard and MU history. One detail I loved there was how they had Pike sideways wielding his pistol. Modern audiences associate it with street gangs but side wielding pistols is a tradition rich in brutal cultures because it maximizes targets while minimizing aim. The whole point is to kill a bunch of random people, deliberately maximizing rate of fire and maximizing the randomness of people you kill. I just couldn't get over what a perfect twist that was for the Terran Empire.
Yeah anything is possible in "science fiction" trektard!
One problem with this is they would both be in their 20's so she wouldn't be a "cougar" as you said. And for proof you are compare the actor's appearance ??? You are losing it bro. :P
BTW if you are in the neighborhood, I will be at Mom and Dad's house for lunch. See you there I hope?
Who the heck gives Wil Wheaton?
As for the actor Wil Wheaton, I am glad he is still able to work without becoming "Gilliganized" by which people immediately associate the actor to a role they played. He did a pretty good job playing Dr. Parrish in "Eureka" although the writers tossed in some obvious STNG gags. Most actors that get shoved into a pathetic role for years, end up doing cartoons and video games.
But I am still NOT convinced that Riker isn't Wesley Crusher's father.
Time travel to father offspring always destroys the universe (see Films "flip side " "Paradox one " and tv series "the flip side of dominic hide")
Beverley is not a "riker babe" she likes men with brains , dignity , Style and emotional maturity.
Also starfleet genetic tech is quite advanced and a "wrong riker gene" would have been
identified before birth
Lets also move on to the moral issues
ALL rikers relationships were with single woman/men/things
Its more likely that Wesley was the mind child of the great bird himself (as well as the ultimate mary sue)
Sort of a cosmic "Prodigal Son" story. Wesley blames Picard for his father's death and his time with the traveller awakens a burning hatred he'd always had of Picard. Now he comes back to enact his revenge and it is up to Picard to convince him of the truth.
I think that would have been a decent movie. Much better than a dune buggy race anyway.

It certainly would have been more amusing... His Mary Sue Science helping out the Rommies! :eek:
Damn, I thought he was the villain...
Actually it would be more likely if Worf was the villain the absolute indignity he had to suffer. All his ideas and tactics were refused or dismissed. I remember he used to want to arm weapons and blow the Romulans from the sky at every encounter. But some one would shout, "Belay that order!". Then the bald TRIBBLE would invite the Borg for tea.
Riker + Beverly = Wesley do the math.
However, think I got a theory that may help us get some insight on if Wesley was born out of Wedlock or not. Lets look at the man who started it all, Eugene WESLEY Roddenberry, as much as we all thankful of him for creating Star Trek, we have to admit that ST most infamouse character (besides anyone from VOY) is his Marry Sue, and it's logical to assume that he put way more of himself in Wesley than we originally thought, Dr. Crusher could very well be based on his real Mother, and Picard could be based on a close friend to his Parents, so a clue about Wesley's birth may be in Roddenberry's real life. I looked up Gene Roddenberry on Wikipedia, it dosn't say he was born outside of Wedlock (tho, it something most peope preffer to hide) but is there anything out there that may tell us he was, was it with this Family Friend or a one nite stand with a breaded man a little younger than his mom, did he know, and did he put that idea in TNG?
as for Will Weaton's Photo from Eureka, how about this. Jonathan Frakes met Msr. Weaton at a Bar 9 month before the birth of Will.....
