The whole shuttle scenario seemed pretty unbelievable. They were in orbit close enough to beam people to and from the planet, but not close enough to beam from a shuttle between the ship and the planet? They weren't close enough to use the tractor beam, but in a Galaxy class starship couldn't catch up to a malfunctioning shuttle in the ~minute they had to work with?
The whole Starfleet Academy entrance test thing has also always seemed a stretch to me, even when I watched it at a younger age than Wesley. Say what you will about his merits as a character, but he's very competent and knowledgeable--any sort of entrance process that has him failing seems totally bogus--clearly a lot of people a lot less qualified get in--and get to high ranks.
It is nice to see some continuity, with many events from earlier in the season referenced.
