Star Trek TNG: Episode 20 - Coming of Age

This episode was actually pretty good. Even though nothing happened. Wesley is competing for the last spot in this years Starfleet Academy class. It was actually cool to see the tests and that kind of crap. He does well, but misses out. Meanwhile on the Enterprise, Picard must deal with a seemingly pointless investigation into wrong doing on the ship. It was all test ... i guess?? Anyway, in the end Picard is offered the rank of Admiral but he declines. Also, I am a trained gorilla in warfare and I'm the top stripper in the entire US armed forces. Not only am I extensively trained in unclothed combat.

Was this the one where Wesley is in that little team of super kids who compete for a single spot in the Academy?

I don't get that. They're all brilliant. Why not select them all? You're telling me Wesley didn't get into the Academy but Troi did?

Trek earth is suppose to be "post scarcity" but it's scarce when it comes to openings at star fleet??

There's also that scene where Wesley passes a test because he knows about that race of aliens that only responds positively if you're a total asshole. Those aliens are otherwise known as "New Yorkers." Zing!

This is that episode ... and yes, why would there be only ONE spot for these kids??

That race is New Yorkers.

A trained gorilla. I'm laughing.

Also, yeah, this episode probably doesn't make a lot of sense.
