One Of Star Trek’s Best Episodes Was Created Out Of Spite
https://www.giantfreakinrobot.com/ent/star-trek-spite-episode.html

"What intrigued me most about Somers is that he wrote 'Melora' out of spite. Part of that spite was for the Paramount production offices and the DS9 set itself. As a man in a wheelchair, Somers discovered how tough it was to get around the studio, and he made sure the wheelchair-bound Melora faced the same difficulties navigating the most famous space station in the quadrant. On top of that, he wrote 'Melora' largely to wave a middle finger at the writers of 'Ethics.' That’s the TNG episode where a paralyzed Worf wants to (as the kids on Starfleet Academy might say) unalive himself with the help of Commander Riker."

One of my favorite ENT episodes. It’s similar to the Voyager episode with Seven being alone on the ship but the ENT version is fun and lighthearted!
