A controversial one here from our Dabo Wheel of Shame. Will "Profit and Lace" from Deep Space Nine be seen as a progressive episode today or has it aged terribly? In this we see Quark's misogyny turned on its head when he's forced to become a she and fight for the rights of all Ferengi women. We get a lot of great performances in this, a threat against both women and the Ferengi alliance, and the introduction of the now iconic Sluggo Cola. Both Captain Goodwill and Science Officer Synoiz start with divided opinions about this episode, but will they change over the course of our review?

When the Entrepreneur chases a ship that's really dragin' a wagon, nobody thinks to try hailing before acts of violence are attempted. But when Riker expresses a little too much enthusiasm for the Ferengi way of life, he gets banished to the engine room. What's on the business end of a ball-kicking machine? How could Ben put Adam into cardiac arrest? How do you cover up literally any editing mistake? It's the episode with shades of yellow.Support the production of our shows Members get benefits including bonus episodes and an ad-free experienceSign up for our mailing list!Get a thing at podshop.biz!The Greatest Generation is hosted by Adam Pranica and Benjamin Ahr Harrison The show is produced by Wynde PriddySocial media is managed by Rob Adler and Bill TilleyMusic by Adam Ragusea & Dark MateriaDiscuss the show using the hashtag #GreatestGen and find us on social media:YouTube | Instagram | BlueskyAnd check out these online communities run by FODs: Reddit | USS Hood Discord | Facebook group | Wikia | FriendsOfDeSoto.socialSupport the production of The Greatest Generation Hosted on Acast.

Welcome to a classic episode of Casual Trek, featuring Matt Hardy!Matt's upcoming project can be found here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/kryptothera-a-hunter/kryptothera-a-hunters-taleWe've got our first guest star in today's episode as we get the nonstop machine of comics crowdfunding Matthew Hardy to join us in talking about the First Lady of Star Trek: Majel Barrett!Majel's been in so many episodes, hell, so many SERIES of Star Trek over the years, so there's a lot to work with here. We've got shockingly little Majel in the TOS episode that ostensibly is a spotlight focus on her. Then we're in to the wild world of Lwaxana Troi as she gets kidnapped by Ferengi in TNG and that version of the Ferengi are the absolute worst. Like Internet Guy worst. Finally we get a surprisingly nice pairing of Lwaxana and Odo stuck in a lift together as a weird life form from the Gamma Quadrant has got into the computers.TOS: What Are Little Girls Made of?TNG: Ménage a TroiDS9: The ForsakenTalking points include: Westworld (both flavours), Babylon 5, Only Murders in the Building, Righteous Gemstones, Adam X the X-Treme, Ahsoka, Classic Dr Who, FMV PC games, Charlie's back on his Lost bullshit, From, Amnesiac City, Two time GLAAD award winner Peter Allan David, The Matrix, Terminator, I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream, The UK Office amount of awkwardness, Shoggoths, Tiny Clangers, The Prisoner, Legion of Super-Heroes fashion, Mario Kart-based declarations of love, Vampire: The Masquerade, The Mos Eisley Cantina Band, Lucille Bluth, Lwaxana Troi going full Mrs Bennet, Picard giving it all Shakespeare, More Classic Dr Who, Lord of the Rings for the SNES, Gilmore Girls, Tamagochi, War of the Worlds.

We're having a goofy one with TNG's The Price - wormholes, guys who suck, Ferengi???

Nothing quite like a below rate Ferengi Nonsense Episode to get your hosts talking about litterally anything else as we do our best to review "Little Green Men". After discussing the true A plot of Ferengi racisim, we don't have much to say about this goofball slop. However, if you want our deep opinions about Star Trek: United, this is absolutly the episode for you! 

In this episode of Trekking Through Time and Space... Hoai-Tran and Jacob meet "The Nagus" as Star Trek: Deep Space Nine takes its biggest swing yet with reinventing the Ferengi. Meanwhile, Doctor Who puts its characters on "Thin Ice," but the episode itself is as steady as it gets.

Back in 1993, as Next Generation was in its sixth season, Star Trek launched its next bold chapter: Deep Space Nine, the story of a Starfleet crew taking over control of a Cardassian space station. The cast was rounded out by a (at first) hostile Bajoran officer, a curmudgeonly constable, and a Ferengi shopkeeper.

John and Jim tackle the second story of Trial of a Time Lord - a divisive entry that Jim describes as "fair to middling" until a jaw-dropping finale that left him questioning everything. Production Challenges: John provides extensive background on Philip Martin's return after "Vengeance on Varos," Ron Jones directing his final Doctor Who story, and Eric Saward's resignation as story editor during production. Discussion covers Robert Holmes' passing during rehearsals and the courtroom set drama continuing with union issues. The Return of Sil: Jim does NOT hold back on his feelings about Sil's return to Doctor Who. The hosts debate whether bringing back the green marshmallow-eating Mentor serves any real purpose beyond annoying viewers. Discussion includes comparisons to Star Trek's Ferengi and whether Kiv (played by Christopher Ryan) proves more interesting than his obnoxious predecessor. Brian Blessed Arrives: The hosts examine Brian Blessed's appearance as King Yrcanos - a performance John considers a saving grace while Jim finds increasingly one-note. Behind-the-scenes stories include Blessed's F-bomb outtake, JNT's gentle handling of the larger-than-life actor, and revelations about Blessed nearly becoming the Second Doctor at age 25. Cultural Appropriation Concerns: Jim and John discuss troubling 1986 production choices: Kabuki-style makeup and samurai aesthetics for Yrcanos, servants and slaves portrayed by minority actors, Native American-styled costumes, and the questionable treatment of Dorf (transformed into a dog). The hosts question why these decisions felt appropriate in the mid-1980s. Colin Baker's Motivation Mystery: Extensive discussion of Colin Baker's struggle with unclear direction - was the Doctor acting under mind control, being crafty for observers, or was the Matrix testimony itself tampered with? Nobody could give him answers, leading to confusion that permeates the performance. The Claustrophobic Complex: Jim criticizes the confined, repetitive sets of Thoros Beta, noting the same corridor and computer banks appearing from different angles. Discussion covers the limited scope compared to "The Mysterious Planet" and whether the laboratory scenes provide the only visual relief. That Ending: The hosts unpack the shocking finale where Peri's brain is replaced by Kiv's, Yrcanos bursts in and shoots everyone, and the Doctor is pulled backward into the TARDIS by Time Lord intervention. John admits this originally made him consider quitting the show, while both hosts question whether companions deserved such ignoble exits. Time Lord Treachery: Discussion of the High Council ordering Peri's death, the Inquisitor's sudden inside knowledge, and why this story made John truly understand why the Doctor ran away from Gallifrey. The Doctor's proclamation about "second-rate gods" resonates as one of Colin Baker's finest courtroom moments. The Muddled Middle: Both hosts struggle with unclear storytelling - repetitive running through corridors, vague motivations, forgotten plot threads about weapons trafficking, and whether anything meaningful happens between the shocking beginning and devastating end. Listener Perspectives: Jameson weighs in on theme preferences, Inquisitor Darkel's ruthless portrayal in Gallifrey audios, and teases Jim's eventual reaction to trial revelations. Jamie Girl appreciates the pink/purple planet effects and Brian Blessed's Viking philosophy while sharing YouTube finds of cast reunions. Coming Up Next: Patreon Exclusive (Monday): More Dominic Glynn theme music, the three-part comic "Nature of the Beast," a look back at the first five Doctors with another Memory TARDIS spin. Main Feed Episode (Friday for Patreon, Following Saturday for All): Parts 9-12 of Trial of a Time Lord - "Terror of the Vervoids." Mel arrives, and John cryptically warns the creatures' name isn't the only unfortunate thing about them.

Het is een smalle zeestraat met allerlei eilanden en riffen. Een kapitein moet heel precies navigeren om heelhuids door die nauwe vaargeulen te komen. Politiek is dit een treffende metafoor. De Straat van Hormuz is een geopolitiek en economisch flashpoint van de buitencategorie. Donald Trump ervaart nu wat voorgangers als Jimmy Carter, George Bush senior en Bill Clinton meemaakten. Met deze zee-engte valt niet te spotten. En dat is al tientallen eeuwen zo. Jaap Jansen en PG Kroeger begeven zich in die smalle wateren tussen Iran en Arabië en in machtsverhoudingen aldaar sinds de oudheid die ons nu verbluffen door hun actuele betekenis. Alleroudste beschrijving van Hormuz treffen we in een reisgids voor zeevarenden uit Egypte rond het jaar 60 na Christus. Die Griekse atlas, 'Periplous', beschreef en detail waar een kapitein of een handelaar op moest letten onderweg en hoe de Straat van Hormuz geografisch in elkaar zat. Je kon er in lezen dat de eilanden in die zeestraat vol zaten met parelduikers. Er viel dus een makkelijk te vervoeren luxeproduct te verhandelen. *** Betrouwbare Bronnen is mede mogelijk gemaakt met donaties van luisteraars die we hiervoor hartelijk danken.

Zend ons een mailtje en wij zoeken contact. *** Eeuwen later werd Hormuz bestuurd door een lokale dynastie van sheikhs, die zich verbond met de heersers van imperia die de mercantiele en strategische waarde van deze zeestraat prima snapten. Meest opmerkelijk was de alliantie met de Mongoolse kleinzoon van Dzjengis Khan die erfgenaam werd van het West-Aziatische deel van diens enorme imperium. Van Afghanistan tot en met Anatolië strekte zijn bewind zich uit en de handelswegen tussen China, India en de Middellandse Zee hadden dan ook zijn bijzondere interesse. De Straat van Hormuz was de speldenknop in de zeewegen die hij moest beheersen en de lokale vorsten werden zijn beschermelingen en tribuut betalende vazallen. Dit rijk van de Ilkhaniden werd van grote betekenis voor de geopolitiek, tot de dag van vandaag. De Mongolen organiseerden de natie, staat en beschaving van een land dat zij als eerste Iranzamin - het land van Iran - noemden. Essentiële aspecten als de dominante rol van de shia islam, de bestuurstaal Perzisch, de nationale eenheidsmythe van Iran en de geopolitieke alliantie tegen het soennisme van de Arabieren zijn in deze periode doorgevoerd. De Mongolen sloten ook een alliantie tegen de Arabieren met de ‘Ferengi' - de Franken! - en moedigden hen aan het Heilig Land en Jeruzalem te veroveren. De vazallen van de Mongolen in Hormuz bloeiden onder hun bewind, de handel werd bijna mondiaal door de steppevolkeren en hun cavalerie beschermd, zowel de Zijderoute als de maritieme handelsstromen naar Venetië, Genua, India en China en met hun rijkdom konden de sheikhs van Hormuz buren als Bahrein onderwerpen. In de vroege 15e eeuw was de keizer van China zo geïnteresseerd in de strategische en mercantiele betekenis van Hormuz, dat hij er een serie zee-expedities van zijn reusachtige vloot heen stuurde. Zo weten wij uit de rapportages van zijn ambtenaren van alles over de luxe en welvaart van zelfs de lagere klassen in de havensteden van Hormuz. Xi Jinpings Belt and Road-strategie is dus eigenlijk al eeuwenoud. Niet lang daarna - in 1507 - kwamen de Europese klanten van die havens zelf aankloppen. De Portugezen voeren vanuit Zuid-India langs met hun superieure maritieme technologie. Ze werden snel intiem; de beste bondgenoten die Hormuz leerde kennen. Ze bouwden er forten op de eilanden in de nauwe zeestraat en hun paters mochten zelfs missie komen bedrijven, tot vreugde van de Paus. Bezoekers uit onze streken beschreven de ongekende luxe en de 'seks, drugs and rock ‘n roll' van het luie leventje in Hormuz. "Het is als Babylon - door de vele talen die daar klinken en door de abominabele zedeloosheid, ook van de paters daar!" Jaloers sloegen de Britten en de VOC de handen ineen en probeerden de Portugezen te verdrijven. Zij richtten zich op een verdienmodel dat uitging van het monopolie van de zijdehandel dankzij sjah Abbas I van Iran. Uiteraard was de VOC mercantiel nog doortrapter dan de East India Company. Al in de 17e eeuw leerde Hormuz de Hollanders goed kennen. Na Napoleon was de British Navy oppermachtig. De emiraten van de Golf sloten verdragen met hen, zodat de Britten de beschermheren van de zeestraat werden. Na 'Versailles' werd Irak ook nog hun kolonie en ontwikkelden zij in de Golf de olliewinning. De Straat van Hormuz werd voor weer een nieuwe eeuw, met nieuwe heersers, het brandpunt van commercie en geopolitiek. In 1945 nam president Franklin Delano Roosevelt die rol van de Britten over door een verbond te sluiten met prins Ibn Saoed uit Mekka. Amerika zou de Golf en Straat van Hormuz beschermen tegen Stalin in Iran, uiteraard in ruil voor olieconcessies. FDR voerde een strategie als de Mongolen en het British Empire in hun gloriejaren. Toen ayatollah Ruholla Khomeini de macht greep in 1979 was het president Carter die zijn Carter-doctrine afkondigde: Amerika garandeerde de vrijheid en veiligheid van de handelsroutes door de Straat van Hormuz en de oliewinning door de emiraten daar. Donald Trump beseft wellicht niet dat zijn oorlog de bloeddorstige variant is van de politiek van een door hem verfoeide Democraat. *** Verder lezen Jack Watling - Iran’s Hormuz blockade is its most powerful card against Trump and Israel.

Inside Man (Star Trek: Voyager, S7 E6) was recommended by Rugger (They/them), who said: When people talk of this episode, they usually say it's a repeat of season 6's Pathfinder, where Barclay is clever but is ignored by Commander Harkins, so Barclay has to prove himself right. And it's two episodes after the Starfleet data stream was hacked by another party, to the detriment of Voyager.Plot-wise, they're right. But the plot isn't why I love this episode.Barclay instantly became one of my favourite Star Trek characters from his introduction as Lieutenant Broccoli, and Voyager made me love him even more. Barclay is the socially-inept, self-doubting genius, and, aside from when he merged with the Enterprise, he has remained in that role.In this episode, awkward Barclay cannot save the day with engineering or cleverness. All he can do is talk. It is a fantastic moment that serves as an excellent capstone on a side character's arc, who found confidence in his engineering, and, after 10 years, in his voice.Also, it is sheer delight to watch Dwight portray two vastly different characters with such zest. Dwight played Murdoch on the A-Team, and that versatility really shows in this episode.Inside Man first aired on November 8, 2000, written by Robert Doherty, and directed by Allan KroekerA hologram of Reginald Barclay is sent to Voyager, supposedly to implement a dangerous plan to bring them home; but the hologram has been tampered with by some Ferengi, who are trying to steal valuable Borg nanoprobes from Seven of Nine.The Joy of Trek is hosted by Khaki & Kay, with editing & production by Chief Engineer Greg and music by Fox Amoore (Bandcamp | Bluesky)Send us your recommendations, or support us on Patreon.Find us at joyoftrek.com · Twitter · Facebook

21. April 1997: Nach einem knappen Jahr ohne ferengische Geschäftslizenz ist Quark depressiv verstimmt. Eigentlich sucht er Trost bei seiner Moogie, doch die hat neuerdings ein Tête-à-Tête ausgerechnet mit dem mächtigsten Mann Ferenginars, Grand Nagus Zek. Ehe der Bartender sich versieht, ist er Hals über Ohrläppchen in die Finanzpolitik seines Heimatplaneten verstrickt. Auf der Station will Rom indes einen Ehevertrag aufsetzen.

Long ago, a wise(?) Ferengi once bid us adieu by saying, "The more things change, the more they stay the same." Nearly 27 years ago — or almost 820 in-universe — we said goodbye to the crew of Deep Space Nine and the Emissary of the Prophets, Captain Benjamin Sisko. At long last, we finally get something resembling closure to his story. Join DEBRIEF Bridge Crew members Cicero Holmes and Chris Clow, with a returning ZAKI HASAN and special guest ALI NAGIB, as we break down the fifth episode of STAR TREK: STARFLEET ACADEMY season one, "Series Acclimation Mil." Not only do we get an incredible performance from actress Kerrice Brooks as we learn more about her photonic cadet character SAM, but we also get a shockingly emotional episode for anyone who has a place in their heart for STAR TREK: DEEP SPACE NINE. Listen in as we break down this emotionally charged reacquaintance with characters we haven't seen on screen since 1999, as well as a return of the contemplative, quiet power of the legacy of Benjamin Sisko getting its proper due in wider STAR TREK canon.

Episode Notes The Magnificent Ferengi: It's never a good sign when Quark looks overly pleased with himself. Moogie has been captured... by the Dominion? And QUARK has to rescue her? Rom learns what Moogie has been up to. STONKS. All Nog needs is a good job title and he's in. Ferengi are negotiators, not warriors. Emo Vorta. Everything that can go wrong does. IGGY POP??? Nog discovers the Weekend at Bernies gambit. Maybe Ferengi are warriors? This whole episode is a sunday night RPG session (appreciative). Vorta malevolent curiosity. Only in a Ferengi episode would accidentally killing a hostage be ok. The best Trek episodes are ones where the actors are clearly enjoying themselves. Waltz: Sisko and Dukat road trip gone wrong episode. Nebula-class chat. Dukat "saves" Sisko? Dukat is hallucinating a lot, but that's fine, right? Dukat has an interesting memory of his two stints as DS9 commander. Fake Kira might be even better than real Kira. Huh, maybe Dukat just needs to be removed from the Alpha Quadrant. This episode is deliciously uncomfortable. Dr. Cox??? Marc Olaimo put in the labor over the last 5.5 seasons in order for this episode to work. BabSpace9 is a production of the Okay, So network.

With the release of Wicked: For Good, Jewish audiences have been asking online: Are the munchkins supposed to be Jews? What about Elphaba—the vilified, bookish, green-skinned witch? Is she Jewish-coded? It's a question asked by some Jewish culture critics seemingly every time a movie with goblins, elves or hook-nosed monsters comes out. Are J.R.R. Tolkien's dwarves Jewish? Is Nosferatu Jewish? Are Star Trek's Ferengi species Jewish? And then, if the answer strikes you in the affirmative, the logical follow-up is: "Is this vaguely antisemitic?" But as our three rabbinic podcasters discuss on this week's episode of Not in Heaven, the question may reveal more about the person asking it than the onscreen goblins themselves. The real question may not be, "What were the filmmakers' intentions when creating these characters," and instead, "What does this negative interpretation say about us as a community?" But before that, Yedida takes a detour down a different cinematic road: a Jewish analysis of the heavily Christian animated film David, which is something of an origin story of the biblical king.

This episode of Alternate Galaxies heads to Deep Space Nine, the Star Trek series that broke the mould, and maybe still divides fans more than any other. Dave has lived with DS9 for decades, knows its arcs, its politics, its slow burns and big payoffs. Rob is coming in cold(ish), watching it properly for the first time in the past few months and seeing it all with fresh eyes. Quite a contrast! The guys dig into what DS9 was trying to do, how it evolved over seven seasons, the shift from episodic comfort food to long-form storytelling not just on DS9 but on 90s TV overall, and whether its darker tone and moral greys actually pay off.  Along the way they talk characters, war, religion, politics, Ferengi episodes, and all the ways this show remains the black sheep of the Star Trek canon. Join them as they look at one of sci-fi TV's most ambitious series. Contact the guys: X / Twitter: @theDWshow Bluesky: @thedwshow.net Facebook: facebook.com/theDWshow Email: hello@theDWshow.net

In this episode of TreknoPod, we review Star Trek: Enterprise Season 1, Episode 19 – “Acquisition”, the controversial Ferengi episode that bends canon, delivers classic Rules of Acquisition, and sparks big fandom debates.But before we even reach the Ferengi hijinks, we address a growing problem in the Star Trek community: AI impersonation, harassment, and fetish content targeting real creators — and why it runs directly against Star Trek's core philosophy of IDIC (Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations).From Ferengi first contact loopholes, Jeffrey Combs & Ethan Phillips returning in heavy makeup, and Trip Tucker spending half the episode in his underwear, to Rules of Acquisition favorites, Enterprise canon headaches, and why “Acquisition” is secretly a lot of fun, this episode covers it all.We also preview our upcoming coverage of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy, discuss fandom gatekeeping, and remind everyone why Star Trek should always be a space for curiosity, creativity, and respect.

The House of Quark (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (DS9), S3 E3) was recommended by Marky See He/Him, who said: I love that DS9 wasn't afraid to move beyond the stereotypes set out in earlier series, Ferengi are more than gold hungry goblins, Klingons aren't just space vikings.When this first aired in the UK, I missed all but the conclusion of this episode so on my rewatch of DS9 I was excited to see how Quark ended up married to Klingon!This episode delivers a glimpse into the not so simple world of Klingon probate whilst Quark does his best to keep his business afloat and his head on his shoulders amid shotgun weddings and quickie divorces.The House of Quark first aired on October 10, 1994, written by story by Tom Benko, teleplay by Ronald D. Moore, and directed by Les LandauQuark brags falsely about killing a Klingon, Kozak, and is then forced to marry the widow, Grilka, founding his own 'House of Quark'.The Joy of Trek is hosted by Khaki & Kay, with editing & production by Chief Engineer Greg and music by Fox Amoore (Bandcamp | Bluesky)Send us your recommendations, or support us on Patreon.Find us at joyoftrek.com · Twitter · Facebook

It's a bummer, man, all this warping and what it's doing to the space-time continuum. But of course let's not talk about it too much because we've got some extremely important cat content to handle first. Geordi ain't a cat person, and Data can't train the cat very well by asking Spot to get down. There's a Ferengi who may have disabled a Federation ship, but actually it's two terrorist siblings doing that in the warp corridor. Serova is so convinced the warping is destroying their planet, that she is willing to put her life on the line. That rattles the crew, Geordi, and has implications for the rest of the franchise.

After a near disaster on a Ferengi vessel, our favorite butt-headed villains sneak on board to uncrack a glow-energy egg in which Kamala, an empathic metamorph, comes cracking out -- and this little alien is hard boiled! Seems Kamala is in the process of finis'ral, a stage of transformation in which her body is emitting heavy doses of pheromones and she's skunking up the whole ship with that stink! This was all supposed to be used on her arranged husband-to- be but instead it erects every male crew member she comes in contact with on the ship, even our Captain! (I guess they're done with the gay stuff on this show, because no ladies get aroused ! One and done, know what I mean!) Seems JLP gets a little crush on Famke, I mean Kamal and they start vibing with each other even though Kamala is an arranged marriage that will heal war between two planets -- two flipping planets, Dave!! Beverly calls it slavery, Picard calls it culture, Riker calls in for some alone time on the Holodeck! All of this and somehow more on this  exciting episode of ST:TNGeez, Not Another Star Trek Podcast!It's Season 5, Episode 21 -- “The Perfect Mate”Even more available at: https://tngeez.com

Progress (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (DS9), S1 E15) was recommended by Bryan Love(Blackrain), who said: When I first watched this episode when it air way back in the early 90s, I was only 13 years old. It felt pretty much like a filler bottle episode. Something they needed to write out to fill in for the 19 episode for the first season. Even when I did different re-watches of DS9 over the years "Progress" still felt like a first season bottle episode, something that the writers were trying out as they were finding their footing of what DS9 was going to be. It wasn't until the start of my latest re-watch of DS9, along with having watched more of the newer Star Trek(Lower Decks, Discovery, Strange New World, etc.) along with more life experiences I had more to bring to the re-watch this time.There are the two different plots that run through this episode. Plot A Major Kira having to choose between her duty or who she was. Plot B Nog and Jake trying to earn Profit!Plot A: The Federation is helping Bajor with need power by tapping into the core of one of its moons. This unfortunately will make the moon uninhabitable, the few people living on the moon will have to relocate before the mining operation can begin. Everyone leaves, but one old farmer Mullibok that refuses to leave. He's the sweet old grandfather or uncle Eeveryone has or knows. The old man of a thousand stories. Major Kira finds herself question herself. She was a resistance fighter during the occupation, fighting against the cruel overbearing governmental authority. Now she's part of the new Bayoran government and it's her job to be that governmental authority to remove Mullibok from his home. Even if she doesn't want to. She gets for a very short time to leave all the pressure of her duties, as she get to play pretend with Mullibok listening to his stories. Captain Sisko comes to remain Major Kira of her duty.Plot B: The more light hearted and has always brought up the question. The Federation doesn't use a currency base system. But other races still value things, and other humans not in Star Fleet have to earn a living. Nog and Jake put the practice of the art of the trade to full test here, or "I have a paper clip, bet I can trade it up to..." Nog like most Ferengi only wants gold press latinum. It's with Jake's help, I think it helps Nog to start seeing the value in other objects. What is its worth in trading vs it's monetarial valuee. The item might be nothing to me, but someone might gladly pay a small fortune for it.As much as the A Plot with Kira was the main part of this episode, I much more enjoyed Nog and Jake master the art of the deal or trade. Working on that humon and Ferengi friendship.Progress first aired on May 9, 1993, written by Peter Allan Fields, and directed by Les LandauKira has to deal with a stubborn farmer (Brian Keith) who refuses to leave his home even though it is slated for demolition.The Joy of Trek is hosted by Khaki & Kay, with editing & production by Chief Engineer Greg and music by Fox Amoore (Bandcamp | Bluesky)Send us your recommendations, or support us on Patreon.Find us at joyoftrek.com · Twitter · Facebook

“Rules of Acquisition” 30th-anniversary reflections Word is there's profit o' plenty in the Gamma Quadrant, and the Grand Nagus wants a piece of it. And who better to send as chief negotiator than Quark? But never forget the 48th Rule of Acquisition: “The bigger the smile, the sharper the knife.” Quark's new waiter, Pel, thinks Zek is setting him up to take the blame if a deal for the totally reasonable ask of 100,000 vats of tulaberry wine falls through. Thankfully for Quark, he won't be alone at the table, because Pel turns out to be more than a waiter. He's a skilled entrepreneur. And a she. Despite their combined negotiating prowess, Quark and Pel return without the wine. But they aren't entirely empty-handed. They have the memory of an awkward kiss and information about some group called The Dominion. In this episode of The Orb, hosts C Bryan Jones and Matthew Rushing continue our 30th-anniversary retrospective that will take you through all of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, one episode at a time. In this installment, we discuss “Rules of Acquisition,”what the story says about identity, how it sets up The Dominion, and how DS9 makes the Ferengi matter.

The first season of Star Trek: The Next Generation was famously turbulent, but behind the scenes, it was also a hive of creative experimentation and open doors for new voices. This week, we welcome veteran writer/producer Cash Edwards, whose original story pitch “The True One” caught the attention of Gene Roddenberry, D.C. Fontana, and his longtime friend, producer Herb Wright. Though the script wasn't produced, it sparked genuine enthusiasm, and Herb's memo to Gene is our document of the week. Cash joins Larry to share memories from TNG's earliest days: working closely with the producers, meeting the cast, and witnessing the scramble for scripts that defined Season One. He also reveals some, let's say colorful, ideas he contributed to the development of the Ferengi's first appearance (laser bolos, anyone? leech grenades?). It's a window into a time when Star Trek was still figuring itself out and welcoming new creatives into the mix who helped shape the journey.
