92 Self-Sealing.
Love the Ferengi Eps, no matter the hate they receive. Nog, Rom and Quark are amazing characters and did sooooo much for the Ferengi's in comparison to the TNG Ferengi.
Here is a good history and explanation of Star Trek universal translators https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uW3o7PlQiA0 Anyway, Certifiably Ingame's Youtube channel is the Bee Knees for succinct explanations of Star Trek lore.
Great episode 90/100 self sealing stem bolts, so far season 4 has had very serious episodes thus far, so it was nice to have a light hearted episode.
You are right, the three ferengi are a great comedic trio.
The intro was heart warming with everyone rooting for Nog. I also liked the setting building of the ferengi rite of passage. Brilliant writing. It is a great rite of passage since it both communicates that childhood is over and gives friends and family a socially plausible excuse to give money to a young ferengi adult (because you know, after this point, ferengi don't GIVE anything).
I am a fan of the ferengi-centric episodes. In my opinion, most of them are very good, one or two are okay, but none of them are bad.
As for Rom being a secret genius. A friend of mine speculated that Rom is on the ferengi equivalent of the autism spectrum.
Hopefully you can have your Nog Off episode around Christmas time. You can drink egg nog while you are at it.
Odo assimilated the DOG just like the movie THE THING by John Carpenter!!
No no no Mike if you hook up with Minnie… Mickey will come after you and get you! You don’t want the mouse mad!!!lol The last guy who got caught cheating with Minnie; lost his job because Mickey bought his company. Then Mickey had him set up for stealing so he wouldn’t get unemployment. Then Mickey had him arrested, and he went to jail! In jail Mickey paid the Mob through an anonymous source to have him taken out! Then someone sent Minnie a pic of the guy hanging from his cell. Don’t mess with the mouse!!
I LOVE this episode so much, always look forward to it in my rewatch. Hokey funny and LOVE Ferengi! Strong 96 self-sealing stem bolts for me! Love your guys chats and what random tangents you get on, always make me giggle thru my day. ~Joshua Cronan
This is a fun episode but, we're in season 4 now and the scale has changed 65 stem bolts
I give this 95 self-sealing stem bolts.
Is this episode really starting with Mike wanting to seduce himself? The first Ace Ventura has aged like milk, don't bother. This episode sorta inspired a later Voyager episode. NOPE no little green man. GEBUS Mike, go to the bathroom before recording. Mike a drinking game based on Tux is a horrible idea, we are 32 minutes in and wasted. The head knocking thing is one of the dumbest best gags on Star Trek. If I remember it was Earth vs The Flying Saucers, where the main scientist is engaged to the generals daughter, and she's a nurse, and they talk about going to Niagara Falls. It's a classic movie worth watching. Did mister I would seduce my 15 year old self, just complain about ferengi ear rubbing. I wonder about the dog every time I watch this episode. They have never given a clear job on how universal translators work, and they can't be subdermal on the starfleet officers in TNG, cause they say clearly that when they loose their com badge they can't understand someone. Ferengi had Babel Fish installed in there ear, okay. Between Joshua and I we got you on the Nog figures, lol. I have always loved classic scifi/horror films, and been watching a lot lately, and yeah I do love this episode. I'll go 92 SSSB.
This episode is so fun and full of clever ideas. Odo definitely straight up murdered that poor dog. 88 stem bolts!
