S1: Episode 19: We Are So Close To Getting Rid of Wesley; OSHA Finally Makes an Appearance and Some Rants About Admissions

This episode debuts Wesley's new haircut, which looks terrible. I guess the ship barber doesn't care for his nepo status. Sick burn, barber, totally support your decision making. Speaking of blowing Wesley out of the airlock, it's his time to shine as he's going to take this insanely inconsistent and irritating entrance exam to Starfleet. Good luck, because even the test administrators don't seem to know the parameters for success! At least he meets a hot fellow candidate who actually can stand him for two minutes and maybe gets her space number, so it's not all bad.

Another super boring old white dude who's an admiral and supposedly friends with Picard beams aboard with this Starfleet OSHA guy to inspect the ship, but the admiral is very frosty to Picard so everyone is a total diva towards the OSHA guy as a result, even though OSHA guy raises some very good questions. We see Riker mount a chair like a horse, which is weird and not as cool as he thinks it is. 

And like everyone else, the OSHA dude forgets to ask about Singh, so my expectations of Starfleet are met, as I deem it an unsafe work environment and even their OSHA is underwhelming. But yes, by all means ask about Crusher's dead husband, because that's super relevant. Weirdest inspection ever.

Featuring: Air cocaine! Painted hallway backdrops! The same soundproofing foam we use! Worf apologizing to Wesley?! Jake or maybe Jkae, we aren''t sure! Very confusing social strata! Admission woes! Also, advantages for nepo babies and the rich in admissions, that aged well! A poor unsuspecting candidate for Starfleet that's being used to combat the rumors that Starfleet has been mad speciesist against the Ferengi amongst other species! A guy who loves a beam a little too much, like way too much!
