What a profitable enterprise, and profit is profit!
Huh... times are changing.

Ah, TNG. It has aged well. I never watched a Star Trek until a couple years ago, when I met my current partner, and she insisted I catch up with the rest of the nerds. This as aged very well. Even the special effects, while not spectacular, serve their purpose enough to not be distracting.

Unfortunately.

That episode was so good on multiple levels because in ordering the bribe qwark was also in effect rejecting the greed while acting greedy at the time time.. Because the bribe was also protecting his brother. Brunt would have had Rom killed after breaking Quarks neck if things went on longer. Seemly Rom offered a way out by suggesting he cook the books for the better. An option that I honestly believe Qwark hadn't really considered. Eventually I think Qwark grew allot as a person. He just needed some gentle nudging along the way. But the fondation was there from day one. In fact he only stayed on DS9 to protect his Brothers Son Nog. A blackmail that sisco gambled would work when most ferangi would be like "Well just buy another wife and don't make a mess of the new model."

My favorite part about Star Trek is the pointy-eared space Romans.
YOU CANNOT HIDE FOREVER

Let's face facts, the major species of Star Track are all just fantasy races but in space. Klingons are orcs, vulcans are elves, romulans are dark elves, ferengi are goblins... oh and there's cat people sometimes.
