Wasn’t it that same episode where Rom basically says word for word that he doesn’t support unions because one day he might own Quark’s bar and then he’ll be able to oppress people too? What a great show, some people dislike the ferengi episodes but they’re some of my favorites in the series.

Who could dislike the Ferengi episodes??

Stop! BRUNT FCA!

Ikr? Some people hate 'em. They’re really goofy and cartoonish so I guess I get it. Profit and Lace is pretty tough to watch. The Magnificent Ferengi is my personal favorite (Iggy Pop guest stars too, what a treat!) And I quote the Rules of Acquisition in real life somewhat regularly, heh

The first couple episodes Rom is a real dick pushing the shit downhill onto Nog but once he goes from basic greedy goblin to engineer savant the dynamic is great

solstice ,

Yeah the Ferengi were cartoonish evil space goblins at first and weren’t very well received. They worked much better as comic relief when the writers toned them down.

FordBeeblebrox ,

Quark is also a great foil to the stiff backed Federation ideals that Sisko is always preaching. It’s nice to see life on the station outside of the rules of Starfleet, and the Ferengi episodes became some of my favorites cause it’s heartwarming in a way to see them try so hard, especially Nog. Toss up between Quarks and Ten Forward

solstice ,

No contest, Ten Forward doesn’t have a Dabo table 🤣

TheGrandNagus ,

They’re the best.

People with the same mindset as Ferengi and who don’t like to be called out for their shit.

I’d watch Wallace Shawn read a newspaper.

I can’t say it’s a fact, but I’m pretty damn sure the inspiration for the Ferengi was Milton Friedman, himself a malignant leprechaun.
