Glad to see you back amongst the stars.

Marcus Hicks

Given how much content you provide us, Jen, an occasional delay due to ill health-or any other reason-is easy to forgive. Hope you and your son are both feeling well πŸ™‚.

Season 6 is peaking. The next few weeks will be filled with excellent episodes.

Gary Cameron

"Magnificent Ferengi" is possibly my favorite Ferengi-centric episode! It's just so hilariously stupid! And, HEY, a zombie, just in time for October! 😁

If we were voting for the best of just these two episodes (like you do for Twilight Zone), it's the Ferengi episode by a mile.

Rob Rosenberg

Lauren was played by Power Rangers villainess Hilary Shepard.

Ootlander

That is Iggy Pop playing the Vorta.

We just want you at your best. ❀️ Life and health come first in order for you to be at your best.

William Rosmer

i think i can speak for everyone here and say you being healthy is more important than putting out content.

William Rosmer

so, these 4 aren't locked up directly because they're modified. they're locked up because they have mental side effects from the process and are not entirely safe to be out alone.

2026-10-08 07:00 The Magnificent Ferengi might be one of the ones that the fanbase is highest on that I'm the lowest.. It's not funny enough (at least to me) for me to treat it as a comedy but goofy enough that I can't take it seriously as a drama. I just don't know what I'm supposed to with it, and honestly find it to be a little underwhelming. But look, I get why folk like it. It's quirky and different and that's usually exactly the thing I'm into. I just... can't quite get there this time.

This Ferengi episode is probably my favorite, the end with Keevan left in the hallway bumping into the wall...

Preaching to the Horse's Mouth

Credit to the dude playing Kivan, though. Dude pulled off the whole creepy "Weekend at Bernie's" bit very well 😬

Preaching to the Horse's Mouth

I think the idea is that they captured Moogie's transport just because it was an enemy ship to be captured, not because they were specifically after Moogie. When the Nagus found out that they happened to have her, he wanted her back so he sent in Quark.

Banes

Nice! Love both episodes. There's a series of novels called Foundation (Isaac Asimov) about a scientist and his team predicting future events kind of like the enhanced people do in the episode. But like they said here, it has to be the broad strokes of history over a long period to be accurate.

Henchman Twenty1

If you noticed, he was holding his left arm a lot. That's because he'd been recently at a concert (I'm not sure if he was performing or it was somebody else) and he went to stage dive and as he put it, "The crowd parted like the Red Sea", and he hit the floor hard and separated his shoulder, yet he soldiered on and performed his role.

William Rosmer

moogie is the romantic partner of the head of state for a galactic civilization. one that specializes in transport and mercantile efforts. like if you remove them some non replicable material might not be going to star fleet and instead going to the dominion at least that's my opinion of why they'd capture her.

Brent Justice

You talked over the section again when it was mentioned in "Statistical Probabilities" about the Eugenics Wars. I think this was brought up the last genetically enhanced episode as well. Don't forget, the Eugenics Wars happened in the "90s" in Star Trek lore. This is when and what Khan was from, his people took over, remember. It was a very dark period in Earth's history. They are afraid about that happening again, rightly so, I would say. Khan was a very bad dude, as you've seen. Just don't forget about KHAAAAAAAAAAAAN! :P

Summer

Magnificent Ferengi is so great

Brent Justice

The overall problem with genetically engineered humans, is that the EGO that comes with it, thinking they are superior. Remember Khan? Same thing, his people took over the world in the Eugenics Wars cause they thought themselves superior.

Summer

I hope you feel better soon

Ootlander

Yep, that injury was the reason he ended up with time to do the episode. iirc Behr was a fan of his.

ParallaxNick

One element I've never liked about this episode, but that i have to give the writers credit for, is that the reason the enhanced suggest the Federation should surrender is that, eventually, a new resistance would emerge on Earth. And yet, in "The Sacrifice of Angels," we learned that the Dominion had *already figured that out*.

Rob Nichols

Statistical Probabilities was directed by Anson Williams, Potsie from Happy Days.

Bobby Coolbreeze

Khan is a huge reason why genetic engineering on humans is forbidden

Curran Dobbs

The genetically enhanced dudes using brainy science to predict future stuff is based on a concept called "Psychohistory" from Isaac Asimov's Foundation series.

Joel

What's interesting about this is that in the Foundation series, it explicitly says that psychohistory cannot be applied to timelines less than several generations, otherwise the math simply is not valid

Slate

The Ferengi episode aka Weekend at Keevan's is great, a welcome bit of fun before the heavier stuff comes back. And yes, definitely watch Weekend at Bernie's. It's a classic comedy that I'm sure you'll like. Will we see the genetically-enhanced gang from Statistical Probabilities again? You'll just have to wait and see...

Chaos T

I just noticed at that part, the actors who played Nog and Quark said their lines a bit awkward because they couldn't stop laughing. One of the funnier moments in the franchise.

HeatheΠ―

The answer to your question at 1:17:00 on your YouTube video? Iggy Pop of course ;)

Marcus Hicks

Easily some of my favourite episodes of Season 6. The Magnificent Ferengi is my favourite Ferengi episode of the entire run, and amongst my top 20 DS9 episodes of all time

Marcus Hicks

You get no argument here. Some wonderful comedic moments throughout.

Marcus Hicks

Well the Vorta are genetically engineered, so it makes sense that they reached the same conclusion.
