I don’t think that should put that episode in the same category as those others. On its own, “Message in a Bottle” is actually a good Star Trek episode. It is only when you take the actor’s extracurricular shenanigans into account that you might find a problem. On the other hand, “Code of Honor” and “Tattoo” were just bad for reasons in the episodes themselves.
Reminds me of Chevy Chase in Community. Pierce was genuinely one of the best parts of the early seasons. But the actor was all sorts of trouble, and knowing that fact sours fan’s enjoyment of his scenes.
The episode from season 2 “Tattoo” which belongs on the no fly list along with “Code of Honor” and “Message in a Bottle”
Totally agree with the first two, but what didn’t you like about Message in a Bottle?

Solid argument. I also find him obnoxious, so it’s a difficult watch either way.
Wow I didn’t know about that guy until now. Big yikes
That’s uh. Fucked.
Also indirectly responsible for the death of Phil Hartman.
