That's what I mean. If they'd handled it better- spent more time on the story- they might've been able to make him more interesting. In a way, he was like Wesley on ST:NG. The writers didn't seem to know how to handle him.
I just wished they had killed him off earlier and spend more time on other things. Every time he was a major plot point in an episode i was just like "oh not him again" And when he died i was like "oh thank god".
