Thanks, Daniel. Huh. I knew that about the same actress playing Tess and Claire, but I thought "Wesley delenda est" was referring to Mr. Wyndham-Price, not Mr. Crusher. Anyway, so it means "Wesley must be destroyed"?
If you take sexual advantage of her, you're going to burn in a very special level of hell. A level they reserve for child molesters and people who talk at the theater.

Which is pretty much what ended up happening.
The fireworks smuggling? I was assuming they meant someone had stashed a bunch of them in plastic in a crate or large luggage.
Must have been wrapped in asbestos, considering they survived the plane crash, the WaterWilly-like engine squirting jet fuel over everything, and the two post-crash fiery engine explosions without being lit.

It refers to Wesley -- particularly in Season 3 of Buffy. Or so I have always thought!

All is well that ends in pizza.
See? I was assuming the more irritating and fan hated Wes, sorry.
Signed, wasn't around when the Wesley Delenda Est was coined, but extrapolated it to the original fan annoying Wesley.
S3 BtVS Wes was annoying, but I wasn't on the boards back then.

They were, however, Buffy-themed boards and not Star Trek-themed ones even then.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Wes in S3 BtVs was a prat. I'm not surprised there was significant Wes-hate back then. I also heard he was widely disliked during S1 AtS for replacing beloved Doyle, at least before he grew a pair--oh, I'd say around Faith arc.

Yeah, being tortured proved to be highly redemptive on that show WRT audience response.

If I only had a brain...
What's a WaterWilly? Or do I not want to know?

It's that clown-head thing you run a garden hose into (well, we did in the South in the 70s anyway), and it sort of randomly bobs around splashing the kids who play in its vicinity. Or, y'know, occasionally cracks them in the head as if possessed of its own malicious intelligence.
Though googling just now, I see that it's used to describe something entirely different.

I think it upped the Sawyer-love a little bit on this show. (And the Sayid love.) Note to writers, torture good.
