ShadowDenizen July 30, 2014 Share July 30, 2014 Quark represents Grand Nagus Zek in a plot to establish a Ferengi business presence in the Gamma Quadrant. Pel, a young Ferengi, teams up with Quark and they learn that to do business in the Gamma Quadrant they must contact the Keremma, a member race of the Dominion.

ShadowDenizen July 30, 2014 Author Share July 30, 2014 (edited) Ah! At last.. The first mention of the Dominion. They were very clever, sneaking it into a Fernegi-centric episode and playing it almost for laughs at this early stage. That makes it even scarier when we do finally "see" the Dominion.. Though I could have done without Pel; they don't tend to play that "type" of storyline strongly. though this is 1,000x better than "Profit and Lace"!

Meushell August 3, 2014 Share August 3, 2014 Nice episode. I liked Pel, but I do not like how it was handled in the end. She loves Quark, so she's emotionally driven to scew him over? Getting Quark to lose his Gamma Quadrant prophets seemed to be the end goal there. I would have preferred they leave out the love story entirely. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/12009-s02e07-rules-of-acquisition/#findComment-256248
The Crazed Spruce August 3, 2014 Share August 3, 2014 A mod might want to fix the episode title. "Acquisition" is misspelled. Done. (Even fixed the airdate!) :) Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/12009-s02e07-rules-of-acquisition/#findComment-256263
legaleagle53 August 3, 2014 Share August 3, 2014 Look again - "Acquisition" is still missing an "i." It's spelled "A-c-q-u-i-s-i-t-i-o-n." Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/12009-s02e07-rules-of-acquisition/#findComment-257133
Chip August 3, 2014 Share August 3, 2014 I think @The Crazed Spruce's changes didn't take. I fixed the airdate again earlier today. Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/12009-s02e07-rules-of-acquisition/#findComment-257196
ShadowDenizen August 4, 2014 Author Share August 4, 2014 I would have preferred they leave out the love story entirely. Absolutely agree. This is a precursor to stuff that's to come in later seasons, but it's handled rather ham-handedly in this episode, to my mind.
