Using the now-useless currency of one civilization to settle the debt of the faction of another society seems a little ethically suspect. I can see the Ferengi swooping down into such worlds to "relieve" them of their gold and other money-type things. With some civilizations such as he Ferengi,  post-scarcity technology does not lead to the abandonment of Capitalism. Ditto for the Orions.

I can't express how much I love that they took a colorist's error and a Shatner mispronunciation and ran with it!

So, Billups has a pet dragon now. Poor Lancelot. You'd think Star Fleet would have some rules about what pets are allowed. Think how many people would want a pet Moopsie if not.

Yay, Tendi’s back on the Cerritos! It was nice of T’Lyn to try to cheer up Rutherford and then to rip up the shuttle so they could work on it all over again.

Using the wealth from a newly post-capitalist society to appease the Orion pirate queen is definitely an innovative solution.

Actually this was just a quick and easy way to get Tendi back on the Cerritos without burning bridges with the Orions.
