Star Trek DS9 Episode 69 - Family Business

"Quark returns to his home planet to confront his mother after hearing from the Ferengi Commerce Authority that she broke the law by earning profit."


I guess this episode is sort of a woman's rights statement. It is illegal for Ferengi women to by in business and also to wear clothes. Quarks mother (Ishka) does both. The funniest party is when Quark sees Ishka with clothes on and he is grossed out to the point of nausea. The weirdest point of the episode is when Ishka takes off her clothes and coddles Rom. Everything ends on a nice tone as Ishkar fools the Ferengi Government into thinking that she is compliant and Quark reconnects with her.

69 down and 107 to go

I actually remember this episode when it first aired. It was funny when he was grossed by his mother wearing clothes.

ferengi episodes were always great but i don't know if i could take an entire series about them. It might be too much.

I like the way Deep Space Nine fleshed out the Ferengi species--you never really got a good sense of what they were about before. Quark is probably one of my favorite characters ever.

Yes! Finally, someone else that likes Quark.
