I've never liked the Ferengi.

 

But it was nice to know how their system works with the Nagus and stuff

An average ep. Mainly a way to introduce Grand Nagus Zek. :) I like the Ferengi and it is good that the Ferengi eps got better after this one.

I loved all of the Ferengi episodes.

 

I did when we learned more about them in DS9, I didnt like how they were portrayed in early TNG episodes, DS9 saved the Ferengi IMO

Definitely, I should clarify. I loved all DS9 Ferengi episodes. There were a couple in TNG that I liked but mostly just the DS9 ones.

YEAH THE LATER TNG FERENGI RPISODES THAT ESTABLISHED THEM AND HOW THEY ACT VIA DS9 WERENT BAD, ITS THE EARLY TNG ONES I DONT LIKE, TO ALSO CLEAR WHAT I SAID UP

Armin Shimerman has said that he regretted his initial performance in the first Ferengi episode on TNG. He said he was glad to be Quark because he could change the perception of the entire race.

I didnt know that

[VaBeachGuy 12]

It might have been in one of the DS9 special feature discs. If I can find that clip I'll post it.

The Ferengi's first appearance in "The Last Outpost" portrayed a very different kind of Ferengi than what we later get used to on DS9.

3. A silly episode with some nice insights into Ferengi culture. It was ok, overall.

Referenced Ferengi Rules of Acquisition:

1. Once you have their money, you never give it back.

6. Never let family stand in the way of opportunity.

 

The scene where Quark meets Nava is an homage to the opening scene of Francis Ford Coppola's 1972 movie The Godfather. Quark's Corvan gilvo, the way he scratches his ear, the blinds on the windows, even the dialog ("Yet now you call me Nagus") are all taken from that famous movie.

 

This episode is the first to mention the Fire Caves on Bajor (home of the Pah-wraiths), although Sisko calls them the "Fire Caverns".

 

The Ferengi face seen on the Grand Nagus' staff was originally sculpted to resemble Armin Shimerman's Quark.

 

Morn is seen laughing in this episode, he never opened his mouth again throughout the series.
