You're wrong about TNG. Gene was not proven right by the audience. There was no audience when the SPOCK decision was made.

You are confusing Wesley with Data. Data was Gene's pet. Wesley was another Paramount choice to attract a younger audience. Wesley outlived Gene by two years so... Stop believing what's on the internet, read a book written by those involved.

There were zero fan choices in the original series. There was limited fan consideration in the second and third film. And lots of people TRYING to guess what the fans wanted after 1991. Thus we get ENTERPRISE.

The vison died until some other strong minded creator took up the franchise and pissed off ALL the fans.
