Bajor politics episode would invariably lead to a bunch of "My Child"-ing, which would just piss everyone off, and nothing is more frustrating than watching the DS9 gang sublimate their desire to choke the life out of Kai Winn.
- Louise Fletcher was incredible
  
  the more you hated her, the better she was at her job. she was sooo amazing at that.
- I clicked your link. And now I am mad again.
I fucking love that episode where they go to the other station to do the prisoner exchange. And Iggy Pop is so fucking brilliant in that episode! He's fucking hilarious!
- I love the one where they go back in time and They’re literally the Roswell aliens and as soon as Quark can communicate starts trying to scam the humons
  
  We both know that each of these episodes, at their core, are stupid as fuck.
  
  Not everything needs to be measure of a man.
I know I am in the minority, but Goddamn I can't stand the Ferengi
- Because of your lack of profit?
  
  They probably just need to get some oo-mox
- there are literally dozens of us! dozens!
  
  i like the ferengi in small dozes, but i can't stand the ferengi episodes. it's just too much, and i skip them.
  
  No Latinum for you then!
  
  What about the House of Quark. Does the presence of Klingons dilute the Ferengi frustration, or amplify it?
  
  Part of the shame of it is too, that Quark could give some pretty darn good advice when asked. But they never used that plot device very much, which I thought was a shame because with his devious wisdom, he really had a unique take on things.
- I really tried to like them, mostly because Armin Shimerman was amazing as Quark (and ok, Rahm was kinda lovable in his own stupid way). But Ferengi Love Songs and all the creepy family shit ruined it completely for me. I'd give all my latinum to have nothing to do with Ferenginar.
  
  By any chance, are you German? Because of 'Rahm'...
- They are way too much one-dimensional.
  
  If you’ve watched DS9, you know that’s not true.
Am I the only fan who skipped most of the Ferengi focused episodes?
- One of the few I don't skip is the Magnificent Feeengi, because Iggy Pop is brilliant as a Vorta.
  
  I did watch that one. I never noticed that was Iggy Pop! He looks quite freaky as a Vorta, even more than he already does as a human.
- Everyone keeps mentioning Magnificent Ferengi for Iggy Pop and I'm like "you're not even gonna mention that it's basically Weekend at Bernie's?!"
