Warning: Spoilers
After Wesley's team develops a method for transforming an entire world from catastrophe to normality and saving the lives of millions (?) he gets a heartfelt 'atta boy' from Riker.

I totally would have been that grumpy guy looking sideways at this 15 year old telling me what to do. What do you know kid? I have busted my ass going through starfleet academy to work in this lab and play with space rocks .... Oh sure, you saved the enterprise 10 times last season but what have you done for us lately Wesley?

I enjoyed the prime direction conflict throughout the episode. They ended up going a bit limp on the end with the memory wipe solution. I like actual consequences but I guess the entire enterprise crew can feel just dandy about the quality job they did on this one ---- this is a flag ship alpha crew after all.
