Oh, absolutely. I feel it’s one of the biggest missed opportunities in TNG.
I will say, however, that I always viewed her getting Data to play the stratagema dude was something of a turning point. At the end she’s very much on team Data.
I also thought it was refreshing to see someone very imperfect and needing to work in their attitude in the series.
Usually it’s Troys mum that they just let slide (or hide from), or is someone already refined.
This was one of the first proper human characters in the show that had something they could work on, and could grow into being a proper crew member.
It honestly might have been interesting to explore these questions by Picard having given Data the assignment to mentor Wesley.
First off, let’s be honest, Data is the consummate Star Fleet Officer. Intelligent, compassionate, loyal and reliable, kind. competent; and a bright eyed and bushy tailed explorer.
Secondly, Wesley is the kind of character that can poke at what it means to be “human” or whatever without it being an attack.
Also, lets be honest. Ryker? as a role model? GHASTLY.
