Star Trek DS9 Episode 136 - Who Mourns for Morn?

"Morn is killed in an ion storm and Sisko informs Quark that Morn left his entire estate to him. But Quark has a little competition."

What a weird friggin episode. Morn dies leaving everything to Quark. Quark ends up in a Indiana Jones/Amazing Race situation in which him, Morn's Ex-Wife and two of Morn's business associates end up in a scavenger hunt for Morn's hidden retirement fund. They are soon joined another individual who said that he is some kind of private detective. Anyway, Quark and the others end up back at the bar where Odo arrests the two associates, the ex-wife and the P.I. Also.....Morn is still alive! It was all a trap to lore those four people (all of whom are bank robbers) out of hiding so that Odo can arrest them. Sounds dumb? Well it was!

136 down and 40 to go

Oh yeah, this one. Pretty clever premise, and a decent mystery story all things considered. This was about the point where DS9 could do no wrong. The writers and actors were hitting it our of the park every week.

Maybe. The next one is probably gonna suck. I don't remember.

I almost feel like this episode is proof that a Ferengi spinoff would work. It would be totally "un-Star Trek" but if they did a few seasons of 10-13 episodes, I think it would have been fun.
