So, in the decade of Leonardo Di'caprio in Titanic, Pierce Brosnan in Goldeneye, Richard Gere in Pretty Woman, and Will Smith in Men in Black; Garrett Wang got voted sexiest man alive? Or is this a joke that I am not recognising? Because otherwise... WTF?

1)Keyword: HELPED invent. I'm sure I could help invent something alongside Tom ''Ace'' Paris and Seven of Nine too.
2) He was given a command post on a ship that was going on a routine mission in peacetime. The Federation was only just getting out of its ''flying malls in space'' attitude at this point AKA it was just getting out of the time where they put teenagers on the bridge because the captain wanted to ride his mum.
3) And as for graduating with honours, there is a saying you should equate yourself with: ''education does not equal intelligence. It merely allows one to be wrong with authority.''
Unless the Federation uses a very different education model to us, which is unlikely as we saw the ep where Wesley tried to enter the Academy, all that university diploma proves is that he has a good memory and can hold his nerve in tests.

I'm honestly not sure how to respond to this. This is starting to feel like the weirdest case of insecurity I've ever seen in my life. Okay sure the fictional character isn't actually good at his job. When he was designing shuttles, astrometric labs, and slipstream drives he wasn't actually there because he knew things that could help, instead it was like when you let you're 4 year old nephew help by holding the flashlight.

And don't let him holding a fancy shmancy degree get you down, you've got streetsmarts.

Just so you know, I actually have a degree. And that is why I can tell you with authority that there are some DUMB ASS PEOPLE who have gone through university with straight A's. Getting an A is all about being able to test well and having a good memory. That's it.

He was voted into the 50 Most Beautiful People by the People Magazine in 1997. When the producers decided to axe a character, Wang being voted into that list made the difference between him and Jennifer Lien.

Honestly though, cutting Wang is generally a bad idea, no matter the circumstances.

Garrett Wang in the same category as Richard Gere. LOL. Can any women here explain that one to me?

Pretty Woman is 80's flick.
