Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection illustrates Wesley's continuity as a junior officer seeking guidance, first from Data about prejudice and then directly from Riker in a more advanced operational role. His technical curiosity (e.g., noticing the Antedians' food) foreshadows his later improvisation in Episode 21's crisis.
