Quark, would you like to brush my hair? Undress me everywhere?

This has got to be the worst DS9 episode.

[-] Wogi@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

Aren't Ferengi women usually naked anyway?

[-] theodewere@kbin.social 9 points 1 year ago

do you think some Starfleet crew documented that at some point.. asking for a friend..

[-] Wogi@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

There's definitely extensive documentation...

Actually now that you mention it I don't think I've ever seen Ferengi R34.

[-] JWBananas@startrek.website 12 points 1 year ago

Gene Roddenberry invented Ferengi for R34.

One influence on the Ferengi was what Herb Wright described as Gene Roddenberry's "sex fetish." In early first season discussions between them about developing the Ferengi, Roddenberry let Wright know it was his intention to make the species well-endowed. "He wanted to put a gigantic codpiece on the Ferengi," Wright stated. "He spent 25 minutes explaining to me all the sexual positions the Ferengi could go through. I finally said, 'Gene, this is a family show, on at 7:00 on Saturdays. He finally said, 'Okay, you're right.'" (Cinefantastique, Vol. 23, No. 2/3, pp. 60-61) With Roddenberry's approval, the development of the new species got underway. (Star Trek: The Next Generation 365, p. 36)

gigantic codpiece on the Ferengi

it was worth it just for that, but it's all gold.. i love Roddenberry even more..

Come to think of it, those whips in seasons one looked very suspicious.

[-] theodewere@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

damnit we'll never see Quark in all his glory that was meant to be.. and just imagine Nog running around with a giant cock that he can't control.. that could have been an entire season..

[-] Steveanonymous@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago

I heard their voices in my head as I read that

[-] theodewere@kbin.social 19 points 1 year ago

is Garak hitting on Bashir or just drunk

You can never quite tell with him.

[-] JWBananas@startrek.website 14 points 1 year ago

All of them. Especially the Bashir. Or whatever he said.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I don't think Garek would ever truly get drunk. He might pretend to be drunk to excuse certain behaviors or comments, but Garek values control of himself and the situation far too much to engage in drunkenness.

[-] theodewere@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

pretend to be drunk to excuse certain behaviors

or so that you felt comfortable enough to get drunk.. yeah he's probably pretty good at pretending to be drunk, isn't he..

[-] kameecoding@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

I am watching DS9 for the first time ever and can clearly hear the voices in my head 😀

[-] NickwithaC@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Same!

And same!

I've just started season 5, where are you?

[-] kameecoding@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

mid season 3, currently watching the episode where 3 cardassian scientists come to the station and there is a prophecy with 3 vipers returning to the nest in the skies etc.

[-] NickwithaC@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Oooh a good one! Enjoy.

You're in for a good ride. Hope you enjoy!

My first watchthrough, I was a little bummed that they wouldn't be flying around the galaxy encountering strange planets like in previous series, but then I quickly started to appreciate the "slice of life" feel of the show taking place in a fixed position.

Plus, they're like a space truck stop, so they can still have whatever characters they want stop by for an episode or two. It's great.

Barbie lives long and prospers every day, but Ken only lives long and prospers if Barbie looks at him.

[-] marcos@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Well, if somebody knows about a plastic world, it's Garak. We can trust him.

[-] Disgustoid@startrek.website 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Upvoted for the Garak and Bashir interaction.

I had that damn song stuck in my head for two full weeks after the movie came out. I seriously thought I was finally going insane in my old age.
